2. You will be taxed according to your home of record, should be California for you, for your entire time you are enlisted. This will only change if you change your home of record, and that's not that easy. You will still pay state and federal taxes. As far as deductions, you will still choose what you want deducted, it's the same as any other job.
Technically, you are taxed on your home of legal residence, which may be different from your home of record.
Home of Record - typically where you enlisted. Nearly impossible to change.
Home of legal residence - anywhere you can claim an address (parents or relatives are allowed). Can change as often as you want
Home of physical residence - where ou are stationed
