Mia it is sad to say but a larger than norm percentage of homeless are vets. Adjusting back to the life of a civilian sometimes breaks down.

I have some friends that just went on a day to day existence once they got out. They survive by working a while then taking a break, or switching to day jobs under the radar.

Then again I have friends that stayed active in the Marine Corp league and others that adjusted quite well (college, family, apple pie Americana etc) so its an individuals circumstance that reaches the point of either "carry on" or "coast".
Yes, I noticed that myself. I was shocked, actually, at the % who are vets.
