Shoot, it's hard to have a comfortable living on an officer's pay unless the wife works as well. Most active duty folks I know are two income households, or they live extremely modestly.
When Mr. KR's reserve unit was called up and he had to go to Dubai two years ago, he was an O-4 and I would not have been able to manage if the company he was with at the time hadn't paid us the difference between his Navy and civilian pay.
Well, I could have but it would have meant major cutting back.
I've always felt that the military pays enough to exist on, but not to really live on (if that makes any sense?)
