Nope, on a couple of counts:1031’s are only for the sale and purchase of properties held for investmentA personal residence can’t be either propertyProceeds from a sale have to be used to Buy a property, not pay down debt

Rent it out after you move because 75% of the gross rent will count as you income.When you get to your next duty station you can use the VA loan again.Keep repeating the process
