Tell you what - most of my life I lived in Northern Virginia. Now I live in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Both areas are very transient with Washington, DC and its government employees, Andrews Air Force Base (in MD, but only a hop and a skip across the Wilson Bridge), and in Virginia we have Ft. Meyer, Ft. Belvoir, Quantico, Dahlgren, at Fort AP Hill. Because the area is highly transient, I believe you would understand why I didn't like how transient the area was when I was younger and in school: I didn't like when my friends moved because of their parents' jobs.
Now I am a real estate agent and I don't mind how transient the area is. What I have going for me is my understanding of what military families experience. How do I understand: 1) my father and brother were in the USMC; 2) my husband was in the Navy; and 3) I was a military wife. I know how it feels to be moved from here to there and back again. Not to mention the effect on children. I believe in old-fashioned customer service.
Maybe living in a transient area isn't so bad after all!
