New location
Sad to say I'm being disqualified from my job due to medical reasons.. But they're are not just giving me the boot without any incentives..
So my question is, what would be the prime location to move too? I'm not really a big fan of Oklahoma (been here for 3 years). I have lived in Cali, Misssissippi, Texas and Washington. In the aspect of cost of living/weather.. what city/state/country you guys recommend for a place to start a new life? I have college benefits, (GI Bill) and am close to finishing up my AA then moving on to my BA. So for some of the older people who lived in numerous places, or anyone really, what do you guys recommend for a prime location? I'm just looking for ideas.
Thanks!

RE: New location
i dont know what your looking for but one of my favorite places is moneta,va right out of roanoke
the land scape is awsome, the vegitation looks great in the summer and last a good amount of the year the wether is nice most of the time and being in the far west of vigina land is very reasonably priced. the roads are always in aswome shape there one of the first things i noticed and they have some great twisty road and the blue ridge is only a short drive away. there is a lake right there. i dont know if you were in the military or not but becuase of the gi bill im going to guess you are. there is a va hospital in roanoke but i hear it is a little understaffed but the staff are generally good people. the other thing that is nice is that there are still season winters are very short and you do get snow but it doesnt last long and the summers can be hot but are generally nice. and the cost of living isnt all that bad. 4.5% sales tax. my mom pays 900 a year on a 190,000 dollar house. you do have to pay tax on all your possetiong though like cars and stuff yearly but its like 50 bucks per a car but thats why the land tax is so cheap but they are trying to phase that out
best of luck to you

Midwest will get you best value for your dollar as far as cost of living goes, but east and west coast will net you better $$ on average, but you'll pay out the butt for your housing. I would choose the east coast myself as you don't get the Earthquakes, tornados, snow, monsoon rains, and most hurricanes are only tropical storms as they pass by. There are plenty of jobs available as well.

Disqualified from your job? For medical reasons? I was under the impression that only those of us on active duty had to worry about being sidelined for being medically unfit are there not laws against this? Or am I just mistaken or not understanding what you're saying, what branch did you serve with?
