[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Military families move kids. Yes high schoolers.
Does your kid want to split up the family to stay at same school? Well say no.[/quote]

Military families have a built in support network with OTHER military families, common housing etc.

They also have made several moves by the time in high school, so develop skills on how to manage. Moving someone for the first time at 15 is very different. [/quote]

This largely is a misapprehension.

There is not much *automatic* support network for military. That needs to be built from scratch with each move.

Most military families CONUS have to live in ordinary non-military off-base housing (i.e., same housing that PP might use) that they lease or buy on their own.

Many military kids move house, school, and metro area for the first time at HS (especially true here). An example or two might help. I know an officer whose job assignments were Pentagon, DISA, NSA, and then NRO.  Spent 16 years in metro DC. Another who worked in Colorado on the front range for 17 years at Peterson, Schriever, Buckley, and then NORAD. [/quote]
