Move to Texas (San Antonio is loaded with military types) or Florida.
Bless you! However......we came up here for Loring Air Force Base in 1983. Bought a home in 1984. I landed a job with SATO, a government travel agency for TDY's and PCS moves. I worked there 8 years, right up until the base closed on September 30, 1994.
Hubby retired from the military in 1992, but went back to work on Loring as a civilian. When the base closed, a Government Finance Agency moved in. He was really lucky to land a job there as an accountant for the government.
We are pretty well dug in here, and he is just working so he can retire for good! So, at this stage in our lives, we just want to pass on through with some peace.
But........they say hind sight is 50-50. If we had known back then what we know now, you can bet we would never have settled way up here at the top of Maine.
When we first came to Maine back in 1983, we had a Republican Governor, and taxes were pretty fair. But over the years, the lawmakers became more and more liberal, and now since King has been Governor, taxes have gone through the roof, he has allowed a LOT of pet programs for the DemocRATS, and the whole government has gone to hell.
At least, living this far north, we should be pretty safe from terrorists, though. Nothing UP here. hehe! Unless they want to blow up potato fields. LOL!
Now my moto is: "It's their world, I'm just passing through." :(
