It could pack in a table lamp sized box for those many moves. It can be truly universal and can be installed and adjusted for any location. The only tricky part would be if they were to be stationed on the southern hemisphere. You'd need to include two hour rings...

Instead of using a triangle style, use a post at the height of the top of the style. Then, if you move, so long as you are at the same latitude, the dial can be adjusted, up to 15 degrees either direction, to accommodate for longitude if you want. If you move to a different latitude, you can also replace the pole with a shorter or taller post. I was thinking of this because of a friend of mine. She is shortly to marry and I thought of making her a sundial. Problem is, her fiancée is in the military. This will, of course, be requiring many, many moves on her part. So I was trying to find a way to make a sundial she could take where ever they were assigned and still have it accurate.
