How does Ask Military Expert work?

Type a question in plain English. Ask Military Expert searches 41,268 official knowledge sources (DFAS pay tables, JTR rules, BAH rates, VA benefits, base data, and curated guides) and returns a structured answer with citations in roughly 30 seconds. Each answer shows where the information came from and a confidence rating, so you can verify before acting. Free users get 5 questions per month; Premium unlocks 50.

Can I use Garrison Ledger for free?

Yes. The free tier includes 5 Ask Military Expert questions per month, the entire Spouse Tax Wizard (MSRRA + license portability across all 50 states), 6 free calculators (TSP, SDP, House Hacking, PCS Planner, On-Base Savings, Career Comparison), and full access to base guides and expert guides. Premium ($9.99/month or $99/year) unlocks 50 expert questions per month plus full Base Navigator access.

Is my data secure on Garrison Ledger?

Yes. All sensitive data is encrypted in transit and at rest, every user table is protected by row-level security policies, and we never store SSNs, bank account numbers, or other PII you do not explicitly enter. Authentication is handled by Clerk; data lives in Supabase Postgres.

What makes Garrison Ledger different?
