Moving to Georgia

I spent 20 years in the Air Force. During that time, I was gone for a whole year twice. In my opinion, you will deeply regret being separated from your family for 3 whole years. I can't even begin to tell you what all you will miss. Trust me when I say that kids are resilient, and changing schools will not be the end of their world. After making a few new friends and going to a few school functions, they will be fine. I would strongly recommend renting out the Florida house for the 3 years. Find a retired military person who does Real Estate and Rentals to handle it for you. Keep your family together.
