Sounds like it's time for tough love. They both need to grow up, and as long as you're being so "helpful", they have no reason to.
He's old enough to wear his country's uniform and be in combat, and she's old enough to be married and have two kids. (And a lot of Stuff.) Time for base housing for them. There are a lot of very young wives (and husbands) with small children in military housing, who don't really know how to run a household or bring up their children, and there's a support system to help them.
You've done your part and more over the years. It's an act of love for you to now insist that they find their own place to live and start to function as adults.
I've got one gone, except for weekend laundry, and two more in school but with no sign (so far) of wanting to move back home, so my fingers are crossed! I always threatened that when the last one graduated, I'd move to a houseboat with a dog, a cat, a potted plant, and a shotgun, and anchor out in the middle of the lake. Visits only with prior permission, and for no more than two nights, please.
Stand your ground, don't feel guilty, and good luck!
Yikes, where did all of your Aloha go! LOL
