Military 101 - You get into the military at age 18 or 22, or so, depending on status, ROTC, Academy, whatever.

You get stationed somewhere in or out of the US at a base, most likely. Every 18 months to 3 years, or so, you have a change of station for which you move to, most often, a different state or country, and you reside in that place, keeping your permanent (official) residence the state from which you came, or another state, depending on your preference and other factors, there are certain rules and regulations. You don’t change your permanent residence every time you move.

When you retire, or otherwise get out of the military, and you then live in a state that is not the same as your permanent residence, you then must change the state of your permanent residence to the one in which you reside.

So, you can actually live in a particular state for many years, but if you apply for official residency later than a certain amount of time before applying for in state tuition rates (for Texas, I thought it was two years, but am told here, it is three), then you and your family members do not qualify for in state tuition rates, at least not right away.

However, if you come into the state from another country illegally, and I am guessing this does not apply to just any old country, then, under current laws, over which this Governor presides, then you have no rules; you get in state tuition rates for you and your family.

This fact, when recently revealed in the primary, (look at the responses to my post #3) cost Perry much support. THe injustice is apparent to many, he, however, seemed surprised that it would gall anyone. And that in itself should portray the atmosphere in Austin.

How did I do with that explanation?
