  • How long have you been at your current location? About 15mos.  DH has been here going on 2 years though (he moved here with a ship being relocated, I had to wait for orders).

    What is the shortest period of time you have lived somewhere? Between when we sold our house in VA and when I could move with our stuff over to CA, 7 months.  I got an apartment in the meantime so I could keep working.  If we're talking PCS'es only than my answer is 15 mos and here.

    What is the longest period of time you have lived somewhere? That would be at our house in VA.  DH was in VA for 5 years, I was with him for 4 of those.  We lived in the house 3 years.

  • I'm presuming this is since I've been married with the military in charge.  I'll also answer for how long I've been in one spot which doesn't correlate with assignments since we've lived apart quite a a bit, mostly for me to go back to school.

    Current: Less than a year

    Shortest: Since being married (5 years), we've had 4 assignments (just started the 4th).  I took a quarter off school and lived with H for 3 months when he was in Japan (I'd lived there for 18 months with him before moving after he deployed).  After I finished school I went to Korea for the last 4-5 months of that year long assignment.  Personally, I think of the 3 months as a long vacation, since I kept my apartment and stuff back in Denver, but I count Korea as a move since everything I owned was in storage, and I never went back.

    Longest: 18 or so months consecutively.
