Re: Military personal bankruptcy

Bankruptcy by itself shouldn't have an adverse affect.

There is a provision in the UCMJ about wrongful failure to pay just debts. Depending on how your command thinks of you it could play a role, but not usually.

However, how you got to need to file a bankruptcy and how you handle your finances post-bankruptcy could have an effect on getting/keeping a security clearance.
