If at all possible don't take your car keys (or house keys for that matter) flying with you whether military or civvy (Or at the very least make sure there are duplicates somewhere people can find them easily). I've seen it cause unnecessary difficulty and stress for bereaved next of kin on at least two occasions. Your family will have enough to deal without trying to get your car moved or break into your house.
