I joined in 94 and active duty duty during the day, delivered pizzas at night and squeezed in college in between. Also on WIC. Important point you make about cost of living then vs now. I’m laughing now because I remember getting excited about having extra cash for Taco Bell. Good times…
I know right!! We would Woohoo if we could afford to meet up with other struggling army friends at the bowling alley to play a game, lol. Alot of times we would have get togethers at friends homes (took turns of who's mobile home we would have it at) and everyone brought at least one dish, chips or drinks, because no one could afford to do anything else, and that way kids are always welcome, no one had babysitters, couldn't afford them.
