It&#39;s pretty easy when you live sixteen miles out in the country at the end of a gravel road.

I&#39;m just not an outgoing person. I say hi in passing or anything like that.

I was convinced no one lived in the house next to me until the other day when I actually saw the person that lived there.. I have lived here for a year now. All military neighbors off post and we never see each other haha SSG Kasius McCall Sat, 29 Jul 2017 21:55:47 -0400 2017-07-29T21:55:47-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/i-m-sure-most-people-do-not-have-this-problem-but-do-your-neighbors-avoid-you-in-the-civilian-world-if-so-why?n=2781778&urlhash=2781778 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Every time I have lived off post I have specifically looked for military neighborhoods. Over 50% of the people around me are either military from the same post or retirees. Makes things simpler. Now...if they avoid me, it&#39;s probably because I mow my lawn in ranger panties and combat boots with knee high black socks...because I can. The sheen from the baby oil might throw them off, but I gotta be me.

It&#39;s not just you. This is typical of the culture these days. As far as the why, no clue. PFC Jonathan Albano Mon, 31 Jul 2017 03:25:21 -0400 2017-07-31T03:25:21-04:00 2017-07-29T21:19:28-04:00
