Have any of you started your own business while still on active duty? If so, please share your lessons learned here.

Although I Didn't Start My Business While In The Service,
My Brother JIM, Did. He Was Already Working In The Panama Canal Zone, At Albrook Air Force Base, When He Received His Draft Notice Into The Army.
By That Time He Had Several Connections In The USAF, And Was Told To "Hot Foot It" To The Enlistment Office And They'd Be Waiting For Him.
Due To His Connections, He's The ONLY Guy I Know Of, Whom Never Went Through Basic Training. The Base Commander Just Slapped A Uniform On Him, Added A Stripe, & He Went Back To The Job He Was Already Doing.
Then He Purchased A Building & Started An Electronics Repair Shop; "Television Americano."
Upon Discharge He Remained In Panama And Started Several Other Businesses Over The Years,
Including, But Not Limited To, A Service Station, An Auto Body Shop, A Roller Skating Rink,
A SMALL Oil Reclaiming Plant, And Some Others As Well.
But His Best Investment Was The Insurance Company...."La Tienda De Seguros"... Once It Got Rolling, Is When He Became a Multi-Millionaire.
So "YA, He Started A Business While In The Service."

I am active duty and my wife took over a marketing and promotional company that has been in business for 30 yrs that she was managing. I see situations to help with cost of certain items that unit orders but was wondering what steps I would have to take to ensure that I am good with the conflict of interest. The company is ran %100 under my wife. Yes there is still a chance of profit for company but still a good cost savings for unit. I probably need to consult with legal for advice but I figured I would see what info people might have on here. Thanks for the help!!!
