I was pulling about $1200 a month after taxes, not including per diem while at OBC, I had a paid off car and no debts. Some months my phone bill hit $500 plus.
I haunted on the Fort Sill Skeet range shooting four times a week, and skipped the bars and other stuff my fellow Lieutenants focused on. I drank enough in High School and VMI and was beyond that by that point.
The maids in the BOQ must of hated me as I spilled lead shot from my reloader all over the carpet all the time.
Life was simple, focused, and good. All I needed was a wife in order to have excellent care for my future hunting dogs. Things have worked out.
