West Virginia is another state that Pays 100% tuition for in-state schools, and select online degree programs IE AMU on top of GI Bill benefits. To be able to go to school at WVU for free and essentially get paid to go there....AWESOME, that's if you enjoy beer and football of course LOL.

According to the latest issue of USAA, three cities in Texas were in the top 10 areas to hire veterans. Houston being the number one.

I was thinking MSG Quick, that the DMV area would be great considering all the federal opportunities to transition to, but once I pulled the Forbes listing, VA only hit the list once. TX and FL actually produced better results.

How about family benefits? I have not lived in the states in years having been stationed overseas for some time, however, my children will start graduating HS and heading to college.
I don’t really have state per se that I would call home (though I claim Florida residency for pay purposes). What state(s) have the best set-ups for dependant education programs? I’m no millionaire, and putting two kids through college will be rough even with the 9-11 GI Bill helping them out.
What state, in your opinion, is the place to claim residency and pay state taxes to for this reason?

Florida has to be one of the top states for vets and retired vets. Has good locations for VA health Care access to commissary stores on all the bases. We have and a temped climate year round so maybe a little hot in the summer months. And lots of activities such as fishing, cycling motor and bi, theme parks, beaches, and many more things to numerous to mention.

Oregon is a good state to be from but not to live in for military personnel. I pay no state income tax because all of my pay is earned outside the state. Also, Oregon has no sales tax, so in most states I don't pay any sales tax when purchasing a car since I register it in Oregon.
I'm not really sure how it is for veterans or retirees though. I don't really plan to retire there. I'm looking at retiring to Utah or Arizona...maybe Idaho or Wyoming, would love to hear how those states are for veterans/retirees.

As a veteran in Oregon, you qualify for $200 toward your university degree per term. Yep, $200 bones is it.
If I knew then what I know now...I would have moved for 6 months before enlisting....
