As a F-16 guy you move around more often then some others. For example if you are a BONE Driver you will live at the 2 bases there is less moving around. There are 10 or so 16 bases includung 2 Korea remote bases, you will spend at least one tour there. For those remotes your family will have the choice to move, many go live near grandma and grandpa while others stay put because their spouse has a career of their own.

Most SQs are family friendly, we would try to send guys home one week before their wife due dates while deployed, of course that was back in the stone ages. Navy wifes give birth without their spouse all the time. Your choice of mate will make or break your family life. If you have a wife who doesn’t want to move away from her family you won’t be married long (yes this happens often). People who marry brats do well because the understand the lingo PCS, TDY, AFSC are not foreign to them. Brats have lived the life understand the moving and deployments/remote tours/SOS.
