Military Spouse Career

Military.com is the website created by Military Advantage to be a portal for U.S. military members. In early 2004, Military Advantage was purchased by Monster.com. The company's main revenue streams are advertising, military-themed products and lead generation for military recruiters. The website was founded by Christopher Michel in 1999 and went live in 2000.

In 2004, Monster called the company "the nation's largest military marketing firm."

Military.com, which claims more than 10 million members, also owns Fred's Place, Defensetech.org, Milblogging.com and MilitaryBenefits.com.
