[QUOTE="klmno, post: 313369, member: 3699"] I'm starting to read about things like that, Toto, and I'm finding similar to what you are saying. I'm hoping that difficult child will have a bit of an advantage over some moving from mainland if I can get us in a neighborhood where military families and other DoD employees live and go to school. For one thing, they are transient in nature as well. We have a big military area in this state so maybe he can find a kid who used to live in this state just to have something in common with and something to talk about as an ice-breaker. If he stays in JROTC that might help him, too. I will talk to him to give him tips about attitude toward learning new customs instead of coming across as coming from a better place. Any tips you can get and pass on to me would be greatly appreciated. One big concern is where to find a place to live that allows pets and I can afford, where there is a decent high school but I won't have to drive for over 30 mins to/from work. I've looked up the rankings of their different schools and know a few I'd like to get difficult child in. I am going to call the place on base that helps military families and see what they say- the website says they help DoD employees, too, we just don't get the same discount. [/QUOTE]
