I live in Mount Vernon, WA and am currently stationed (US Navy) in Whidbey Island. 

Without question, my best tenants have been military/airforce/navy and I would take them over any candidate in a heartbeat.   

I served 4 years in the US Navy and currently work in the Hospitality industry.I have had an interest in REI for quite some time now, I purchased a program ($2,500) a couple years ago but did nothing with it as I was working two jobs and was "overwhelmed" which should have been no excuse but you live and you learn.

Back during my days in the navy, financial troubles was a ticket to loosing one's security clearance and bankruptcy could possibly mean a discharge.

., there is a navy seal saying: How you do anything is how you do everything.  

From the details you stated you are either: A) Navy/affiliated with the sub base or B) Electric boat. 

After I had enlisted in the Navy, I was in a waiting pattern until they told me when to report, so I kept my job pumping gas on the Parkway.

Elvy,You are a Navy Veteran so you can use your DD-214 to help get more cash out of your property to use on another purchase. 

I’m a member of both USAA and Navy Federal.

Come to think of it, because of the Navy, I do have respectable contacts in a number of the big Navy states (VA, TN, FL, GA, WA, etc).
