Military Families Support Group
Today's military family faces a lifestyle that is comprised of frequent deployments, which results in increased family separations. This often proves to be a stressful challenge for military families. This community is dedicated to the families that are dealing with the unique challenges of distance and military-related stress.
My husband has been in the Navy for almost 6 years and in 2 years we are planning on making it back to our home town, with hopes that there will be lots of job offers. Well I am just curious how many of you do plan to go back "home" or if you stay where ever the military takes you?
I am so confused at this point....I love my home town, but as the years pass I am noticing that its not how it used to be....family isn't as strong and friends are going their separate ways. Its depressing and I wonder if it is worth a try to find a different place to call home.

My husband and I have had this convo many times before. We have talked about moving back to NC, where we were raised. We have talked about moving to another state. Heck, we have even talked a little about moving over seas! What we decided is to wait and see where the military took us, then, once we found a place we loved out of all the places we moved, we would settle our roots there. Was there any place that ya'll enjoyed the most? Or a place that made ya'll happy? GO to where you heart guides you...it will never lead you astray! Huggs and good luck on finding your home!

Yes! We were stationed in saratoga ny for about 3 years and I hated to leave there. We love going back to visit. Its also only about 3 hours away from our home towns. I just wonder sometimes, if that is still too far.

You can always visit your home town any time you want, but things do change, such as the home town. You can live in or around that area and just find the place that makes you and your family happy!

as much as i love my family at home, i do not want to move back there, i am with susan on thins one. plus i had been there all my life before military life. i will say that i do not want to stay here at bragg, fayetteville sucks, maybe west N.C but not here. i was thinking somewhere not far from home so i can visit with not much trouble. maybe tennesee or up state new york, i am use to the cold winters so that isn't a problem, what i would really love is colorado, o yea.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
