I've commented on that earlier. Buy.

I talk to a lot of marines in Oceanside. Some of them move every 3 years. And they're in and out of Iraq. They don't want to buy. All they can see is the next move.

Sgt. and above have off-base housing allotments and still they rent.

One of our clients however is a 28 year old Gunney. We helped him buy here and then I went to Nevada to find him a house when he transferred to Bridgeport. He now has two houses appreciating. By the time he retires, he'll have 5 or 6 houses or a small aprtment building.

All this could be done just as easily if he rented the primary residence though. You are making him a real estate investor. Fine. No reason to do it with your primary residence when one is moving frequently.
