What special challenges face members of the military?
Service members and military civilian employees can face unique challenges when trying to deal with issues related to consumer protection. They can have nonstandard work schedules, are away from home for long periods of time, relocate often, and aren’t always able to use the normal consumers’ protection channels because they are living outside the US. Further, service members and military civilian employees may be targets for certain scams because their personally identifying information may be available as a matter of a public record.
