I really don’t believe that’s the motivation here. Bad credit is one of the most common causes of losing your security clearance and failing to pay your debts

I really don’t believe that’s the motivation here. Bad credit is one of the most common causes of losing your security clearance and failing to pay your debts can result in disciplinary actions. The military has no issues throwing money at retention when they need to. I do honestly believe it is just a misguided attempt to fund Morale, Welfare, and Recreation.

Well in the case of the person in the article by "funding morale, welfare, and recreation" the military lost an officer. Not something cheap considering the wild amount of money that gets pumped in to training. He lost his family/friends, nearly his life, and financially ruined. But hey at least the VA was able to find a old dusty pamphlet a few years later.

  > the military lost an officer. Not something cheap considering the wild amount of money that gets pumped in to training. This is uninformed. The US military is in the business of weeding out officers (and enlisted) via up or out policies. If you don’t get promoted within a certain number of years you’re out.
