please put places lived history in signature

As many of us are academics (I'm not), the question comes to me, do our
idiolects come from the greater communities in which we live or the specific
subculture (Army, for me) in which we spend the majority of our time?
Private schools would seem likely to draw from a wider group than state
schools.  My own influences would seem likely to be something reflecting
Army demographics (medical subculture.)

I'd like us all to put a line history of places lived like mine below in my
signature.  I find many  responses I get are from non-American natives, even
though this is "American" Dialect Society.
