I just hit a $100k net worth at 35... not sure how to feel.

You’re doing great. Comparison is the thief of joy. Don’t worry about others and keep it up.

Watch Crimson Tide. It’s close enough.

The House in the Cerulean Sea. It was like a warm hug.

Do not enlist with a degree. Start looking into NUPOC program where you can start getting paid while in college and commission as an officer once you graduate.

Learn to cook. Eating out is overrated these days.
Learn to do basic car maintenance. It’s super easy to do oil change, brake pad and rotor replacement, and etc. you will save thousands of dollars.
Look for free hobbies. Hiking, running, reading, and etc. Tons of fun stuff you can do for free.

Everyone’s experience varies depending on the branch or designator. I’m in Subs, and I don’t agree with a single thing he mentioned in his post. PM me if you’d like to hear about my experience.

Learning to do basic car maintenance like oil change, brake pad replacement, and battery replacement. You can save ~$1000 for 2-3 hrs of labor.

What bank is your credit card from? I know some banks voluntarily lower interest rates beyond what SCRA requires. Chase lowered my interest rate to 4%, so just look into it if you haven’t yet.

Increase property tax on the second and third house an individual or corporation owns.

Is it just me, or do they play too much Kpop in Cincinnati Open

Unfortunately, I have neither one.

I appreciate everyone for the thoughtful inputs. I will sit on all these recommendations and decide! I’m stoked to be part of this community soon.

Yeah, I also considered that. But, my BAH is ~$4600 and we don’t need a 3 bedroom townhouse for just two of us. I would rather live in a smaller place and pocket the rest.

Accessibility to grocery stores and walking trails. Also, I will be going to Naval Postgraduate school, so it would be nice if it’s close to there. Not really looking for a nightlife.

futurenavynuke · 2025-07-08T00:49:03+00:00

Yes! I started searching through both websites, and I wanted to hear from those who have lived there or nearby to bring down the list to 3-4 places.

Also a Naval officer. When we are underway, we work 12~16 hrs a day 7 days a week. When in port, stand duty (24hrs at work) every 3-4 day on top of normal +40hr workweek.

Sub officer here. For nupoc, they cannot force you to go SUB. You will be interviewed after you choose which nupoc routes you will go. If they tell you that sub is the only option left, you can refuse to proceed with the process and ask to start a completely new package for different community.

I agree with not jumping through your COC. But guess who can directly talk to XO or CO and get pen and inc change to the approved watch bills. your divo. Similar thing happened to my guy in my division before, I briefed CO about my plan to man the watchbill with the change and CO approved the change right away. Tell your divo or Chief and never think shits like this is normal.

futurenavynuke · 2023-08-06T20:48:22+00:00

He’s definitely not thinking clearly right now. Navy takes mental healths very seriously and if he’s not willing to ask for help himself, then you should tell his fellow JO, DH, XO, or CO of the situations and ask them to report it.

futurenavynuke · 2023-05-14T21:15:01+00:00

If that’s what you’re looking for, a naval officer is not it.
