John, this is aimed at you because I know you went through with a wife and kids. Frumby, feel free to jump in with the Dog's eye view as I'll be a Marine as well.
I read back over the year or so on the forum and found much info on family life while in the pipeline. The schools, I know, are all over the country, depending on your pipeline. Obviously, this FNG has no idea what his pipeline will be. If I end up helo most of my time will be in Pcola, it seems. Jets, I know, gets me bounced around a little more. Basically, what is considered a PCS and what is temporary? Will the Corps shell out the $$ to move my wife each time I go to a new school? Is it even worth us doing that? John - how did you handle it? Is it best for me to go alone and her to visit and maintain a home elsewhere? Anyone else feel free to jump in too.
Thanks,
Teddy.
