As a wife of an active duty soldier, I can tell you that the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act precludes any business from seizing property or commencing legal preceedings while a servicemember has been deployed (this goes for private citizens as well-- inidividuals cannot bring about legal proceedings while a servicemember is deployed; they have to wait until their return). The SCRA also limits all previous loans (car, credit card, mortgage, etc.) to no more than 6% interest during the deployment.
While I agree with Tippie that soldiers should have their affairs in order, sometimes it just comes down to who the goofball soldier has entrusted with his financial obligations. Most wives are ok when it comes to dealing with the family finances, while others are just completely clueless.
