Why are you only considering cycling through entry-level jobs. I mean, in theory, the point is to stay in one of them and work your way up, no?.

1. Do you want to raise your kids on an army base, constantly moving them around? Think about what that will mean for them making friends, making memories, defining their own concept of home, etc.
I have never, since the day I was born, lived in the same place for more than two years. I have never had a chance to settle. I never had friends and any concept of home I ever had was fleeting. Usually it was because my mother would remarry, or my stepfather would find a job in another state, or our landlord decides they want to sell the house we live in and we have x amount of months to buy the house or GTFO. Or it's just the need to move into a bigger and better place that just happens to be 500 miles away.
Today it's much of the same thing. I would have a pretty decent job had I stayed in Texas, but had to move back to Florida after not quite two years because my stepdaughter needs to live close to her father, my wife's ex-husband, who's tiny one-bedroom apartment we are all now living in until I can come up with the money to move yet again into our own place, where some unforeseen event will inevitably force us to move not two years down the road.
I always come off feeling like all of you live in some distant magical world filled with freedom and opportunity.

Therapy
I'll look into it, but I have a feeling I won't be able to afford it, and last I checked any free/low cost options were backed up by 6 or 7 months. That and every time I open a newspaper I hear about mental health services being cut, which leaves me wondering if it's even an option.
