Actions to take before (eventually) being "assigned" a RE market

[Padric Lynch]

I feel as though this maybe be unique to military personnel, but also pertains to those who are just starting out. Contrary to my previous post, I am now uncertain of my next Permanent Duty Station (PDS) due to the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) I was assigned. I was studying the Jacksonville, NC area diligently and becoming familiar with the different sub-markets within, but now East/West Coasts are both possibilities (maybe even Hawaii or overseas). I'll be in that area for MOS school, but it is unclear whether I will be stationed there permanently. My question is: How can I be productive in this time of uncertainty? What actions would be an investment or catalyst for my future real estate endeavors, regardless of the location?
