Is it normal to feel like I get bored after staying somewhere too long?

Ever since coming home from my last deployment after getting used to doing one every couple months now I feel like residing in one spot a long time starts to mess with my head. That is Despite how Good I may be doing where I'm at currently. Anyone else get this feeling?

Yes. I moved twice last year but I'm glad to say I plan to move again next year. I like what I get from jumping out of my comfort zone, especially when it's helping me achieve all my short and long-term goals.

I guess it is normal. It's nice to know I'm not the only one.
Aside from multiple deployments, my family and I were never in one place more than 4 years, and that just once out of 25 years of service. Most of the time we spent 2-3 years at an installation between each PCS. Now that I'm retired, we have been in Hawaii for 5 years. We are ready to move again. Our plan is to buy a home in Texas and get an RV so when we get the itch, we can just take off for 3-6 months. Who knows, we may just end up moving again.

Wanderlust is normal if you're used to it. Many people celebrate the ability to settle in one place, others like new experiences...
