That housing space is pretty limited, at least Navy side.

And let's not forget how horrible that huge amount of disposable income tends to make the spending habits of the junior enlisted...

The navy is always under funded and naval bases are invariably in higher housing cost markets. Off base housing allowances can be well above market rents around Fort Middle-of-Nowhere as opposed to naval bases in desirable places like San Diego.

On the flip side of those stereotypical junior enlisteds, there are some extremely financially savvy senior NCOs. And I should point out that those generous housing allowances allow plenty of enlisteds and NCOs to buy their own homes. Not in Hawaii, though.
