I've been out for 30 years. I pay more in taxes annually than I was paid as a NCO when I was in. I didnt start missing it until I started hanging it with the current crop of kids from the same organization.

What about fracturing in your commanding officers BAH adjusted for gross income to compare against yours? I know if your a married E-5 with 6 years in stationed in NYC you get your base pay $34,249 + BAS $4,249($369x12/.66) + BAH $61,604 (40,329/.66) = $100,102. That's only for an 0-5 in NYC gets 92k gross just for housing. I used 66% I figured 33% a good tax rate lol

How?

Advice appreciated: I want to sublease my apartment so that I can rent elsewhere and pay less. I had to move in a short amount of time and it was during the period where there was a high demand for housing, & leases everywhere were expensive so I signed what I thought was fairly cheap in comparison to what was out there. However I found something this month that will cut costs by 30%. How do I go about finding someone to sublease my place?
