What happened to joining the military to get money for college? That’s the only reason I joined. Figured money for college and 4 years of job training and life would be good. All these kids complaining about paying back a loan. Nobody forced you to go to college and get a degree in Political Science.
As far as California goes. I remember living in Oceanside California in a 2 bed 2 bath apartment (800 sf) for $1100 a month. That was 21 years ago. I left California as an E8 (second highest enlisted rank) living from paycheck to paycheck. A 2 bed/2 bath in Norman with 900 sf costs me $970 a month today. The same apartment that I lived at while in California now costs $3500 a month. My advice to conservative Californian’s, move to a red state. For Democrats, stay where you are, it’s where you deserve to be.
Nothing “happened to it”. Hundreds of thousands of young soldiers sailors and marines are serving for that reason among others as I type. Just like you did, I did, and my son is doing.
Things aren’t nearly as bad as this board makes it out to be.
