MODERATORS
Getting the soldiers to open an account seems like a smart move. Much better to get direct deposit and a debit card/checks than to have them cash a check somewhere.
Sailors in my case. I assume they do something similar in the Army and Air Force, as it was a policy the Navy adopted sometime in the Vietnam War era, because too many parents opened bank accounts for their kids with the parents name as well, and cleaned out their pay.
