How to Find a Military Roommate
Those who serve in the nation's armed forces move from duty station to duty station every couple of years and often want to share a house, apartment, or condo as a means of controlling their living expenses. A click of a computer mouse or a simple perusal of a newspaper that serves one of the nation's military communities can help you find a roommate who is in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines or Coast Guard.
