6. Looking over those .mil addresses

A whole lot of them appear to be emails of civilian employees.

A service member these days get a .mil address that stays with them forever. For a long time for the Army is was something like [e-mail], now it's [e-mail] if the person is military, [e-mail] for a civilian employee and [e-mail] for a contractor who gets email.

When you see an address with something like @gordon.army.mil that is someone who had an email issued by that post, not a full DOD one. Likely an hourly employee working in a dining facility, lodging or doing maintenance work.

Still a violation of their user agreement, I am sure.

And some of those .gov and .mil will actually be on there for legitimate work purposes. You better believe that they do look at sites like that when conducting background investigations, and since adultery is still a crime in the military they will look at sites like that for investigations. That's probably only 1-2% of the emails on there however.

Also spouses used to me able to get a us.army.mil address, I don't know if that is still done.
