Yes, but I worked for one woman who refused to interview a "bunny hopper" (series of several one-year stints) because "no one else wants to keep her for more than a year, so why should I hire her?" She changed her mind when she found out the applicant was following a military spouse. So sometimes there *is* a reson to mention it. (Of course, if you're wise, your gut reaction is "why would I want to work for such a nasty person anyway?")

Relevance to tech writing? Know your audience. :-) In a military town or in a fast-moving techie field, potential employers may not be frightened of bunny hopping, and may expect and even desire it. But in other circumstances it *is* an issue.

In the U.S., it is illegal for a prospective employer to specifically ask
anything about your family situation, so there's no reason to mention that
your spouse is military.
