Our housing allowance would be about $3,500, which would come close to swinging that kind of mortgage. We will also receive a Cost of Living Adjustment of around $430 that would help. DoD allowances like those are tax free, so that helps too.
That being said, I'll skip the 3/4 of a million...
Yes, it absolutely is. Median single family home is around $780,000. For like a three bedroom with a painted cinder block exterior.
We'll be living on post at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam though.
I'm responsible for all Army recruiting across the western half of Oklahoma and portions of northern Texas. So I'm usually INSANELY busy.
Now? Well, I'm getting good and caught up on admin tasks and home renovations. We're moving to Hawaii in October and we've only owned our home for two years...

If I were...
My last unit was "The Legion" and I gave wooden Rudis to my senior leaders as they moved on as a farewell gift. Purpleheart Armory makes some great ones for a really good price.

Looks nice!
Just keep in mind if you're going to build it to MILSPEC, you're going to need it to break frequently, and be quite difficult to fix. For example, you'll have to remove the engine to change the front brakes, etc... ;)
