Gotta call a BS flag on this Colonel. After a 30 year service record (as an O6 this is his mandatory retirement mark if he did not make his first star) he would be pulling in $6,900 +/- before taxes. Unless his van is fully outfitted with a hot tub and some serious rims, he is fibbin’ to someone.
His struggle to find a job after retiring from the Air Force collided with the end of his marriage nearly two years ago. Unable to return to the home he shared with his estranged wife, and faced with expenses including bills for two sons in college and debts that mounted when he maintained a nicer lifestyle, he took up a nomadic existence.'
Bills. Bills. Not how much ya make, but how much ya saved. Lots of people are a divorce away from the street.
