Pretty much that's the number one thing I saw at Lejeune and here in Okinawa. Some are struggling with personal debt prior to joining. Others don't use the chow hall and eat out every day. Don't get me wrong, have fun, but have it wisely. You can set up a savings plan with your bank and have an allotment taken out of your check and put straight into savings. If you want even more money, get stationed overseas your first two years. We get paid extra since the cost of living here is higher, but I put all of it into savings and it is building up fast.
