Luckily for me I've moved several times in my life already and no I'm not a military brat - did go to three different high schools though... I have no illusions about being stationed in exotic places. He is thinking of inquiring about an ROTC slot when he returns from this deployment (and again he wouldn't have much of a choice as to where we went) and if he can't work something out, he'd like to go Guard and I do realize there's no guarantee there that he won't deploy again if that's what ends up happening. Even under IRR I know you can be called up again. I have already told him though that I'll go wherever he goes when he gets back - I just hope it's in the South, preferrably GA. But if he does the ROTC thing and gets, say, VA Tech, I won't be mad
