Divorced/remarried with kids

So I’m a divorced father of 3, (by law only two but I’ve been raising the oldest since before he was 1). My fiancé has decided she has wanted to join the air force, which I fully support. But I know I likely wouldn’t be able to bring my kids with me, has anyone else done this before? How did it go?

My ex wife has already stated she will try to go for full custody of the children (I’ve debated on fighting it, I grew up traveling with my parents in the military, I think it would be a great thing for my kids too) I would do what my father did and find work on base or be a stay at home dad until the kids have gotten used to the change. They are ages 2 and 11, as for my oldest, who will be 14 soon, I can’t legally fight for as he’s technically not my son. I love my boys and currently work a job that has me traveling everywhere M-F and home Friday nights/Saturday mornings only to fly out again Monday and we have a current 50/50 custody. So it’s not like I’m present much as it sits (kids want fancy toys, traveling brings home fancy toy money) and she plans to drop it down to every other weekend within a year.
