First big purchase after separating was paying off the POV I was saddled with during enlisted service. Aside from that, entirely purchased and paid past enlistment I would say it was for a course/class on the Comptia Security+ certification. After committing the classic mistake of buying a pov as a private I now try to only buy things I see as an investment.

Civilian clothes to wear during job interviews and while I am at work. I had plenty of uniforms while I was in the military, I needed business attire, which I never wore while I was in the military

Post retirement my husband and I purchased a 36’ fifth wheel trailer. We ended up living in it for 4 months and sold it and bought a house with a guest suite. Loving retirement life … in place. lol

Upon receiving an early out from my Vietnam service in 1970 I purchased a 1961 Chevrolet Step Van that was originally a bread company delivery truck in Chicago but was converted to sleep 7. The bunks reminded me of the stacked "racks" we slept on in our Deck Division forward compartment on the USS Hunterdon County LST 838 traversing the rivers of the Mekong Delta region of South Vietnam.

I think the truck cost me around a thousand dollars. My plan was to get a bunch of hippies and head west but the Chicago winter arrived before I could gather my tribe and driving that truck on snowy streets was an accident waiting to happen. I sold it and got an Oldsmobile 98 land yacht. What a gas guzzler!

I finally made it to CA in 1976 in a much smaller '67 Ford Econoline van.

I had to get a car to leave. A 72 Plymouth Duster 3 on a tree. Florida to California. I put every state we passed through a state sticker on my visor.
