IF HE RETIRED FROM THE MILITARY AND HAS BX AND COMMISSARY PRIVILEGES HIMSELF, THEN YOUR MINOR CHILDREN CAN GET THESE PRIVILEGES. YOU HOWEVER, ARE NOT ENTITLED TO THESE PRIVILEGES AS YOU HAVE DIVORCED AND WENT SEPARATE WAYS. FROM THE SOUNDS OF IT YOUR CHILDREN WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE SINCE THEY ARE NO LONGER MINORS OR IN SCHOOL.
IF YOUR EX-HUSBAND DID NOT RETIRE EITHER MEDICALLY OR FROM TIME SERVED, THEN HE HAS NOT BASE EXCHANGE OR COMMISSARY PRIVILEGES EITHER, SO NATURALLY THERE WOULD BE NOTHING FOR YOU TO STEAL FROM HIM.

This comes down to an issue of the euphemistically named "DOMA" with state's rights and the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. And the Justice department is no longer defending the constitutionality of DOMA. So that's good news to all us who are for equality and against bigotry. Now lets see all those people with the "I support the troops" Jesus-fish bumper stickers actually support our troops or if they just supported the war.

If you are divorced, regardless HOW long he was in, you are a non-person as far as the military Base privileges are concerned. You're just another civilian.

nope not at all, you are divorced and with that went ANY right to get anything further from the military..........and basically unless he did his full 20+ then he would not be entitled to them either.

No, there's no basis for you to get those privileges.
