Saw this on a reddit and thought I would see what kind of answers/discussions we could get here on Rallypoint.

EDIT: Lets add a question
Would you stay in the Military if you came into a substantial amount of wealth or money?

SSG(P) (Join to see) - I currently make a very good living and there is zero financial benefit to being in the Guard. However, I serve because I really enjoy it. I would think if my financial situation was made even better, I would still continue to show up until they stopped letting me in the Armory... LOL. However, I will say without the military I may have never had the discipline to stay at it long enough to be where I am in life. I would hope most people serving are in the same boat.

No, the military cannot kick you out for having too much money. In fact, having financial stability may even make you a more desirable candidate for certain positions within the military. However, sudden and unexplained increases in wealth may raise red flags and prompt investigations into the source of the funds, as it could indicate potential illicit activities such as drug trafficking or embezzlement. As for the second part of the question, whether or not to stay in the military after coming in a substantial amount of money is a personal decision that depends on a variety of factors such as career aspirations, personal values, and financial goals. Websites like gamble beaver may offer opportunities to increase your wealth. And nothing changes with the amount of money in your bank acc

Also wanted to say that the military have some rules connected with this point, but it's not about kicking you out because of money

Not sure of current Regs, but back in the mid-70's there was a Sp/5 from Oklahoma that worked for me. He inherited about $65 million in oil. He was out in less than a week. The Army called it a "windfall inheritance" discharge. Never did find out if he requested it or not.

Military does not directly kick personnel out for having "too much money". If you become a lottery jackpot winner, you might be able to request early discharge (special circumstances, but not an absolute guarantee)
