One Doctor's debt, a cautionary tale

Published

Military members are disciplined for poor management of personal finances. In some instances they lose their security clearance and their career. Depending upon how long they have managed to remain in the service, they can lose a lifelong military retirement check too. Money management skills are taught to young servicemembers in formal classes, something this young doctor missed out on along the way.

Exactly. I'm not sure where one would get the idea that they are exempted. My husband has been active duty for 15 years and has had to discipline his share of junior enlisted members due to finances.
