I was 24, just returned from Basic Training--I was in the National Guard.

Came home, immediately started looking for full-time employment. Was enrolled full-time at the university, too.

The second I got the job, moved out to make room for my four brothers and sisters at home. I wanted the independence, family needed the room, I stayed until 24 because I was eldest, father had passed away, mother needed some support at home.

By then, my brothers and sisters were a bit older, and life at home could be managed, after a fashion.

Got married within 2 years of that date. Been married 26 years so far....

I went in the Guard at 17, Went to basic at Ft. Knox, then to Ft. Sam Houston. Came home for a couple of months, when my father died at 51 years of age. I worked and found my wife when I was 20, we married and moved to the Washington suburbs. So I guess I really moved out at 20,when I married.
