Anyone Divorced While In The Military?

My only advice is to find a First Sergeant or Senior Chief who will see you behind closed doors and off-the-record. Those old crusty, salty senior NCOs have seen it all before. They've heard all the horror stories. They aren't lawyers, of course, or psychologists. But they might give you some useful suggestions and moral support.

A good First Sergeant (or Chief) takes care of his men. A good buddy of mine is a former crusty senior Chief, himself wiped-out in a divorce mid-career, and enjoyed talking to young sailors, even young officers, about ANY problem in their personal life, always behind closed doors. It may take some time to find the right person to talk to. The younger NCOs will no doubt be more concerned with racism or climate change or whatever.

If you have the time to watch some videos, try going to First Sergeant Popp's YouTube channel. He's got hundreds of videos, but you can filter it down by searching for 'military divorce'. In his videos, he jokes around and drinks booze. But in some of them, he's quite serious and gives real-world lectures.

You could start with these videos: One, two, three, four. Good luck, brother.

Is normal in the military almost everyone I know who’s gotten married while in service has been through a divorce

Doing it now. You can DM if you’d like.
