So this requires a bit of backstory sorry about that. Thanks for your time reading and possibly replying to this.

So I am an army brat but a lucky one. My dad retired about 6 months before 9/11, so he wasn't in that mess. We moved a few times, well few for the military. About 4-5 times total. So even though he's retired the military will pay for our moving costs one last time . My parents promise me that I will be able to go to all 4 years of high school in the same school. Unfortunatly my parents stink at math. The move was only being offered until the year before my senior year of high school, not the year after like they thought. So we moved from TX to AL with very very short notice (about a month from possibility to moving van) to start my senior year in a new state. So I got over it, as military brats or anyone who moves a lot tends to do, made some good freinds, heck I go to college now and my boyfreind moved here so we could be together.

So now my dad is thinking of changing jobs. Tonight I realized that after his retirement he's had about a job every 3 years or so. Now we moved our how life to another state, for his job, which is a great job with wonderful benifits, great people. He's apparently had a monster resume up for a while.

This pisses me off. We moved, after he promised me that we wouldn't, and now the main reason for moving, his job, is basicly gone. So we moved for nothing at all. The job market in the town for his skill set is great and my mom says we would have moved here even if it hadn't been for this particular job. But I'm still pissed.

Wow that was a lot of backstory and ranting. Sorry about that. Any general opinions would be good. Coping tips would be most appreciated. Thanks for listening.

i'm sure he didn't intend to upset you. it does suck that the whole reason you moved in the first place is pretty much gone now though. and it does suck that you had to switch schools right before your senior year started. i know it sucks that you didnt get to stay in the same school when they promised you wouldn't move away. but they just skrewed up the math. by the way, your boyfriend moved so you could stay together? thats so sweet! <3

..same thing for me, aside from the fact that my dad being retired navy. Well, I'm not all for change, so when we kept moving, it was hard to keep starting over and again. We moved from Texas to Washington State to Arizona-where he retired. I was very shy, so I had no friends to worry over leaving, but for you- Try to gather as many contacts as you can-phone numbers, e-mails..and you won't be alone. Even though you're miles away, you will still have someone you know. I think it's sweet that he moved to see you, by the way. ^^

So.. When I was really little, I was told that my dad was gone a lot, and one point only saw us about 12 days that year. Mom raised me then, and I do remember him gone alot! It's not that he doesn't care of you or her, it's just what he does-his job, so he can take care of you and her..that is how he shows he loves his family. Thing is..if there's nothing you can do about your location -for the time being-, just build up again, you never know what can happen in life. Good luck to you and your family. ^^

Hi readera, you said you were in college now, is there any possibility of you being able to stay on campus if you family decides to move again? If you are really happy there, the added student loans may be worth it.

@Larele - Thanks for reminding me i'm not alone in the crazy military life. The base here isn't that good, and all the soilders are new and have no kids. The base is really small. But Good Luck with you and yours too.

@aoi midori - Not at the moment, as I'm going to a two year commmunity college that doesn't even have dorms. But my dad probably wouldn't move states, maybe to a nearly town, becasue our city has a ton to jobs in his skill set.

Yeah..it can be crazy..somewhere one day and gone the next..like a pack of nomads..but if the jobs are good can't argue, nowadays folks are having trouble finding them. >< I guess if there's something good from all the moving, it would be getting to see different places, hm? ^^ Well anyway..if you ever want to talk about it, just send a pm or e-mail, okay? Thank you. =)
