I'm in the USAF and am stationed in GA, currently in Iraq though. Well my HOR(home of record) is still Oregon. Which means I still file(exempt) for taxes and can vote in Oregon. Also would still have a license there if not for needing to get a motorcycle license in Ga since i got a bike. I usually open carry at home, but that ain't always easy during the winter as y'all know. So i asked OFF and I thought those in my same situation might appreciate the info. Here's the email I got back:

James,
First let me thank you for becoming a part of OFF, and thanks for
protecting our Constitution.
Oregon changed in 2008 as far as who can get a CHL in Oregon, or
rather how you demonstrate residency. I'll quote it for you.

So as you can see, you qualify. As a result of a several year long
battle, you, as an active duty member of the military, can also renew
a permit by mail.
Welcome aboard.
A package is in the mail to you.
