Can we talk about how duty stations in California are bankrupting us? Seriously, the cost of living at some of these places is double, if not triple, and we get nothing to compensate for it. I email my district congressman about BAH and rent at least once every month. Hopefully, the results of my constant rants will bear fruit this coming year with the troops' housing allowance boost.

So sorry to hear that. Did you get any response form your district congressman?

Any update about this, OP? I wish to do the same but I'm not receiving any support from the higher-ups.

Exactly! I know the district gets a lot of requests and complaints. Unfortunately, none of these are acted upon.

She said she has walked all floors and never saw a thing for men. Then she threw curse at me. I stood up and asked her to repeat what she said. She pulled her phone and called 911
