My dad was in the Army most of his adult life. I was in the Navy six years.

We moved. I moved.

We lived on and off base, mostly off. I lived on and off ship, mostly off.

My mom had a few odd jobs off base but mostly didn't work. My (ex) wife had full time jobs off base.

My dad retired near-ish a few military bases, but it was more because of the ties he'd made in the community while stationed there.

And?
