    How to explain… I see that an ex spouse after years of supporting the military and their spouses careers, once again gets kicked to the curb. One more benefit that is taken from the spouse upon divorce. The military gets these special rates at the Greens, however the ex who spends years of service with that staff are not eligible. I find this prejudiced. The ex has the children under age or grown. yet none can use the benefit. The military spouse gets to continue on as usual with or without a new spouse. I find this unfair and unjust

      Hi Kim,

      I understand your frustration!

      The DoD sets these rules. I recommend you contact your elected representatives.
