I just retired from the USAR after 22 years, including some stints where I had active duty junior enlisted working for me.

As I said, been there done that, had to help them fix their finances.

The numbers I posted don't lie. And as for you comment about cost of living being varied- the government accounts for that with adjusted housing allowances and with cost of living allowances for places where costs are high, so that isn't a factor.

The numbers don't lie- there are very few legitimate reasons why anyone making that much should be at a food pantry, and most of them are indeed poor management of finances and/or abusing the system.
