He was a member of the Marston Old-timers and the East End Gang. Lyle enlisted in the United States Marine Corps on 7 May 1917 as a Private Class 4, to serve four years.

On 1 August 1917, he qualified as a marksman at North Island, noting "lucky, as have never handled rifle before." His service record says he trained in San Diego and Washington state, was posted to the Barracks Detachment at the Marine Barracks in Balboa Park, but did not see action in World War I. He was a clerk in the Post Exchange at the base on 6 August 1917, until the war ended. On 29 March 1919, he was transferred to inactive status, and was honorably discharged on 6 May 1921. Lyle and Emily were married at the Central Christian Church in San Diego by the Rev. W.E. Crabtree, with only the immediate families present. After their marriage, they lived at 2054 Harrison Street in San Diego, where their daughter Betty was born. In the 1920 U.S. census, this family resided at 2054 Harrison Avenue in San Diego, San Diego County, California (1920 United States Census, Population Schedule, San Diego, San Diego County, California, Page 179, ED 341, Sheet 3B, National Archives Microfilm Series T625, Roll 132).

Lyle borrowed money from his parents to build the house, and Betty remembers the mortgage was $21.10 per month. Lyle inherited all of the family property when his father died in 1946. The gardens on the property had plants, vegetables, berry bushes and fruit trees. There was a greenhouse on the 2130 Fern Street property. In the 1930 United States census, the Lyle L. Carringer family resided at 2130 Fern Street in San Diego, San Dego County, California (1930 U.S. Census, population schedule, San Diego San Diego county, California; ED 116, Sheet 5A, Dwelling #142, Family #148, Lyle L.

Lyle sold the property at 2123 and 2127 30th Street (identified as the westerly 29 feet of lots 5, 6 and 7 in block 61 of Seaman & Choate's Addition on Map 631) to his wife, Emily, as her separate property, on 22 January 1938 (Grant Deed recorded in Book 741, Page 214). She subsequently granted it to the both of them as joint tenants on 5 September 1950 (Grant Deed recorded in Book 3767, Page 200). They sold the 2130 Fern Street property (lots 5, 6 and 7 in block 61 of Seaman & Choate's Addition on Map 631, except the westerly 29 feet thereof) on 25 September 1950 to John M. and Leona E. Smith for $8,850. They subsequently sold the property to William Phillips. Lyle and Emily also sold the south lot (the south 20 feet of Lot 10 and all of Lots 11 and 12) for $9,000 to Glenn Glasford on 16 November 1950. He built apartment houses on the property. The remaining parcels (the two-story apartment at 2114/2116 Fern Street, the two-story apartment at 2115/2119 30th Street, and the two cottages at 2123 and 2127 30th Street) passed to their daughter Betty after Lyle died in 1976 and Emily died in 1977. Betty sold them soon after to Steve and Gilda Sandoval. On 24 August 1950, Lyle and Emily purchased a triangular lot on Point Loma at the intersection of Armada Terrace and Harbor View Place (identified as Lots 14 and 15 in Block 4 of Ironton according to Map 689, the address was 825 Harbor View Place) from Edmund and Eleanor Pieper for $3,750 (Grant Deed recorded in Book 3759, Page 119). They built a unique and beautiful two bedroom wood home overlooking San Diego Bay with a fantastic view of the City, San Diego Bay, North Island and points south, and the mountains to the east. They planted fruit trees and many colorful shrubs on the terraced land below the house. Their grandchildren have fond memories of many Christmas Eves spent bedded down in the spare bedroom, singing Christmas carols, and falling asleep before Santa Claus came. Lyle Carringer collected postage stamps and corresponded with other stamp collectors from all over the world. Over the years, friends from Pitcairn Island and Australia came to visit them. Family, friends and coworkers sent postcards from their travels all over the world. He was also an excellent photographer, and the family albums have many pictures of family groups, San Diego scenes, and of his daughter. He was a hardy and enterprising man who liked to garden, do handyman work on the properties, and go for automobile rides in the countryside. He was a kind and gentle man, yet firm, who loved his family very much. Lyle's obituary (San Diego Union newspaper, 11 November 1976) reads: "Lyle L.
