We are considering packing up and going full time as a family of 5 and our dog. We have always homeschooled so that is not an issue, my work schedule is on 2 weeks off 2 weeks. So we would have to sta...

An affirmation here (again). You added you are a military family and your family has moved multiple times. THAT DOES make a difference in the mind-set of the kids, opposed to kids born, raised, and die in the same house all their lives.
I was in the military for a little stretch and many families in the military did just fine. Kids adapted, move, get new friends, leave old ones behind, part company with folks they'll never see or hear from again, and make new friends, new schools, new COUNTRIES!!!! too! In the end, (really) ... your family will do much better full timing than mine ever would have, and both my kids were born at DeWitt Army Hospital on Fort Belvoir, VA. (Yea.. we moved a lot too) in their first 21 years of their lives!)
Funny, my daughter ended up in the Navy, met her husband in the Navy, and had kids born in the Navy too. Although now living in Kansas City, MO with 4 kids of her own now! (She anchored down eventually). My son took a different path, went to college and became a computer programmer. Anchored his roots down right away.
So you know ... YOU and your family really do have a great advantage over non-military families. Follow your heart's dream. Sounds like YOU are the kind of people that CAN adapt to changes and small spaces easily.
Good luck!
