Originally from Houston, Texas currently I'm a soldier in the military.

First off I am Andrew, I am a soldier and am In El Paso TX.

To steal Kevin O’Leary’s analogy of $’s being soldiers and sending them out to find reinforcements... many a war was lost at home whilst the army was invading someone else’s homeland...- decisions need to be made now, yes.

Personally I don't like lakeside houses...Too many bugs, the Canadian Soldiers are nuts, cover your whole house for a month or two out of the year.

Example: If an Army medic were to tell you he used a plastic bag to treat a soldier on the battlefield for a sucking chest wound, did you actually learn how to treat such a wound or simply that a plastic bag might be used?   

I think considering all things I'm leaning more towards leaving my 401k as is (which is a change of mind from the start of this post), but I'm still going to talk to my CPA about options.I invest in Fayetteville, NC, near Ft Bragg and rent by the room to soldiers, all on the same lease.

For example, a soldier changing duty station could do a short sale without any hardship whatsoever.

Unlike Soldiers these folks are pretty stable and don't move that often.

Soldiers returned about the time I closed.

As they say the Constitution is a "living document" it changes with the times, the founding fathers never invisioned an M-16, and a militia was a groupd of citizen soldiers under government control, now we know them as the National Guard.
