Alright, so a bit about myself.
I've been military for 17 years now. Coming up on an unfortunate career change soon (more later). I have been a firefighter for all that time, with the last year being a "Ground Safety Officer"...a military way of saying safety inspector, like OSHA safety stuff.
I used to skydive. Finances/family caused me to pack away my chute though. I used to teach it on weekends at my local DZ. I enjoy cooking...especially grilling. But recently I discovered I could make a mean loaf of bread. Really, any kind of cooking, and I enjoy it...I love food. I also like growing food. I learned when I was a kid, then I quit, but one day in order to lower our food expenses, I started planting and we did pretty well. I wish I had a place to grow lots of food. I love woodworking...making things. I've always said if you know how to make stuff, fix stuff, and grow stuff, you can make it in this world.
Politics: well, I've always been a registered Republican. But then I realized I was more a "constitutional conservative". As time went on I figured out that I was more libertarian than I thought I was. Recently, I have been studying up on "ecovillages" and other communal living environments. So what am I, politically? Hell if I know. I still consider myself as libertarian, but would love to check out living at one of these ecovillages.
Like I said before, I've been military for the past 17 years. However, I am facing a potential stint in prison (the brig) in the near future. Welp...there goes my career. Potentially my family too. Just to put it out there, because I am sure if convicted at court martial people will find out anyway, my allegations are sex-crime related. So if convicted (hard to fight any allegations of this type, so I am not expecting a victory in court), I will become an RSO. And since it will be by General Court Martial ((GCM) highest level military court martial), if convicted, it will be a felony. If you got convicted by GCM for "farting in public" (no that's not a crime), it is automatically a felony.
I am married...have been for over 13 years. I have a stepdaughter and 2 daughters. With my future charges (haven't been charged yet, but that's only because investigation is still open), my wife and kids have moved home to her parents' place. I am getting things ready at the house to pack and ship to her, and trying to tidy up financial affairs so that it impacts her the least bit possible. She has supported me through all this, and will always be there to support me. But if we remain married?...I don't know. After I-don't-know-how-many-year-of-brig-time, I don't know if she will still be married to me. I told her to divorce me, so opportunities open up to her to go to college as a single mother (she has been a stay-at-home wife for 12 years, so out of the workforce for that long). I told her that I would understand, that we have paid into the system, and that she is (or will be) in a position to legitimately need assistance. So take advantage of it. I also told her that if she divorces me, I will still consider us to still be "married" unless/until she tells me otherwise.
So I do have a question, for those of you who have traveled, squatted, etc. extensively. When I get out, where is the best place to get started again considering, of course, that I'll be an RSO and felon? I want to get back to contributing to society so that I can get back to contributing to my family, as quickly as possible. Any ideas?
