Absolutely.
I was posted to Valcartier, Ottawa and Washington, going back and forth a bit. However, friends tell me they've had five postings in six years. They had to find a house and take care of everything that entails.
When I was transferred out of the country to Washington, I practically didn't work for six months, because I spent my time filling out paperwork and doing everything. It really takes support, and we have to offer it to the family as well. The family is as important as the member of the forces.
