Camp Victory, Iraq – infoZine – American Forces Press Service – The 10th Mountain Division is rolling out “Financial Peace University,” a 13-week program developed by Dave Ramsey, the best-selling author and commentator on personal finance, specifically for U.S. servicemembers. About 3,000 troops have taken the course each year since 2001, according to Ramsey.
