The navy Times indicates that she is a single mom of three who filed for personal bankruptcy shortly before she started hooking.

The kids are better off with love, God, integrity and beans and rice every day, if that is what it comes to, than knowing their mother did this and being raised by the sort of woman that would turn to this . . .
As an O-4 over 18 years her base pay is about $6500 a month. Add another $1500 or so for housing and subsistance and she's making $96,000 a year. They shouldn't need beans and rice.
I noticed in the Navy times article that she taught a Navy Leadership class for one semester at the Naval Academy sometime during 2004-2007. DUH???
Guess she was a practitioner of "Don't ask, don't tell."
