Re: Military in other states?

So correct, baldeagle. Sometimes the language we use in either asking or answering a question can change their meaning without our really knowing or intending it.

"Domicile" is not the same as "residence," nor is "domiciliary" the same as "resident." Those in the military may be familiar with a third -- "permanent residence" -- which unintentionally further confuses the issue, since a military member's "permanent residence," or "legal residence," is not his "residence" at all, it is his "domicile."

Legislators and bureaucrats, both federal and state, are sometimes guilty of confusing these two words, which is not particularly helpful to those trying to figure out what the rules are.
