[Alas Babylon!]

While what you say is technically true, my 22 years experience (I am retired USAF) is that most military folks keep voting in their home of record. I married a Florida girl so I did switch to Florida, but I'm originially from New Hampshire which doesn't have an income tax either.

Very good, sir. I was an Air Force officer who spent a lot of years waiting to get stationed in either FL or TX and it never happened. I paid state tax my whole career, but I do know those who wind up in TX or FL almost always switch their residency.

So, heads up Rumsfeld, those Navy facilities in Jax and the range at Eglin AFB need more troops! And please check the registration laws on residency requirements to ensure you don't move them and their families pointlessly.
