Former U.S. Military JAG Corps officers fighting for servicepeople’s rights

When you serve our country at home or overseas, you have decided to put the country’s best interests before your own. The sacrifices you made are innumerable, and in many cases, your marriage may be the final unintended sacrifice: a recent piece by MarketWatch reported that military jobs took three places out of their Top 10 jobs most likely to lead to divorce, finding that “military workers of all ranks were most likely to be divorced by age 30, at a rate of 15%.”
