5 Ways to Research Schools When PCSing
It seems like we have a conversation like this about once every quarter in my house.
“Branch just sent a memo about possible next moves.”
“You know there is always a possibility we could end up staying here.”
“Should I throw my name in for that job?”
But last week when we were looking for something (I really wish I had read this article earlier) and my husband said, “Go ahead and keep that…we’re about eight months out and we might need it for the move,” the realization hit me. My brain automatically became a scene from the movie Inside Out. I could actually envision little versions of myself running around in my head.

5 Things to Know About Opening Custodial Accounts
As parents, you want to get your children set up on the right path. You want to ensure that, should rough times fall upon you or your career, your child’s future is protected. It’s a scary thought, but one you no doubt must consider. It is one of your only means of protecting your child from the trials and tribulations that could potentially come your way, and you don’t want your children to suffer negatively as a consequence of your misfortune.
The problem is, some people set up custodial accounts for flagrant uses. For instance, some parents have used their children’s accounts to qualify for a lower tax bracket. However, most people use custodial accounts as they’re meant to be used; which is to say, they put money aside for their child for when they come of age—like a preemptive savings account. That’s a good thing!

We are broaching new and uncharted territory in our house. The last two deployments, my kids were little. First one as a married couple (his second) was over before the oldest was 8 months old. The second one was when the kids were 5 months old (until 12 months) and 2.5 until 3 years old.
