1. I wonder what his story is

E-6 in the military pays pretty well these days, around $4,000-$6,000 a month depending on duty location and time in. It's usually divorce/child support that do in their finances at that stage of ones' career.

I was in the military awhile, still work around them everyday, the financial decisions members make are still amazing at times. E-3's buying $40,000 cars, the latest thing around here is all these junior guys buying houses with their VA loan guarantee when they know they are transferring in a few years, disaster in the making.

The military pays so well these days it takes some very poor decisions to get in financial distress, many do their best though. It's pretty hard to protect people from themselves at times.
