Understanding the Effect of Military Moves
Leading up to the MFAN Solutions Summit, we decided to take a closer look at what military families were experiencing this PCS season and during previous ones. To do that, we distilled experiences from 5,546 military moves. Whether they have been in military service for 2 years or 44 years, they helped us understand everything from their finances and job prospects to their mental health and family dynamics.
