I'm a retired Army guy that has spent the last 4 years in my new capacity as a financial advisor for an independent firm.

My dad was in the army, and he accidentally retired there. 

Hello BP,One of my Army buddies turned me on to BP over a year ago.

I'm an Army vet that has successfully owned and operated businesses in the past.

Part of the land had previously been a railroad right-of-way, another part was previously submerged under a major river that was moved in the 1920s by the Army Corps of Engineers, and yet another part was a fairly substantial canal town that was completely wiped off the map by the railroad in the 1870s.

Once I am out of the Army I think our savings rate will go up quite a bit, because I will have more flexibility in being able to live close to work, and may be able to get rid of a car and choose a more profitable home (like a fourplex).Anyways, I think that by combining Mustachian living with the potential profits available with smart real estate investing, financial independence can be had very quickly.

BS in Healthcare Administration, ROTC followed by 6 years in Army.

Yes, Army, 3 hitches, then commissioned.

I was hit by an IED and event...ually was giving a medical discharge after 11 years of service in the Army.
