If you are already divorced, then you can't file for a new one.

And you only have a certain amount of time to appeal the court ruling in the divorce. I'm pretty sure that the time limit has passed. But you can always check and see for sure.

Was any property divided, and was it a default judgement or did he participate in any of the proceedings?

There are a few things that you will need to do to even try and have a chance of getting anything out of it.
1st- Where you married for 10yrs while he was in the military? because it must have been 9.51 consecuative yrs while he was serving in the military.
2nd- look into federal legislature requirements on such issues. I would suggest taking a look at the newest version of the Uniformed Serices Former Spouse Protection Act (USFSPA).
