      ‘I Don’t Want To Be Stuck.’ Meet the Military Families Who Love To Move

The Army family was still reeling from their sooner-than-anticipated leave from Fort Huachuca in Arizona. Their PCS (permanent change of station) orders—Josh’s fifth since joining the service 18 years ago—were for Fort Hood. The timeline? Report in three days. The Meltzes made the more than 900-mile trip to central Texas in a Milestone Fifth Wheel, their full-time home on wheels.
