Look, there is a high military population, and a majority of people (at least where I live) are high ranking military officers (ever heard of a dumb general?) or are engineers for companies like Boeing and McDonnell. The public schools in Pcola aren't that great, but go about an hour to the east--the high schools (which for the most part are International High Schools which prepared us for admission to any University in the world) are some of the best in the state, sending kids to all the Ivies, MIT, and Caltech--every year.
Usually, I'm pretty antagonistic towards my home state. But cain't no one knock my North Florida!

I'm with you, Munchkin03. I've got family members down in Ft. Walton Beach who were brought to Florida many years ago because of my Air Force uncle being stationed at Eglin. I love the area down there, and the people are great -- highly educated, fun-loving, and polite... an awesome combination. I'd move there in a heartbeat. (Just gotta talk the boyfriend into it!)
