Barge staterooms are way nicer than boat staterooms, the only problem is they're on the barge so you're always walking back and forth.

Spending $50k on a car isn't a "good idea" but it's completely doable on a military salary if that's the thing you choose to spend your money on. If you're spending 100 bucks a week at the bar, that's $50k after 10 years. If you have a roommate, the BAH you're banking instead of spending on rent is $50k after ~6 years. You've probably spent $50k over the last 14 years on your smartphone, cable, and internet bills. Having a baby costs $50k in under 5 years. Granted most military people with nice cars are walking stereotypes that are upside down in debt for them, and most people that are responsible enough to afford a nice car on a military salary are also budget-savvy enough to not spend that kind of money on a car, but affording it is completely possible. Especially for guys that reenlist for $90k.

STA-21 is a pretty great deal if you're staying in anyway. Get your degree paid for, at a real school, while still getting paid your salary, without using your GI bill. Of course it's 3 years in school and a 5 year commitment from commissioning and you don't transfer instantly so go ahead and add 9 years to now and ask yourself if you still want to be in the Navy in 2023.

JAG was hugely popular and spun off one of the most successful dramas of all time. You can't really blame TV execs for biting on a Navy show.

Dependent health care should have a deductible. Except for sterilizations. Those should have a cash incentive.
