There used to be some local requirements - maybe even DOD wide - where
we had to get local safety/emissions tests even if we were registered
in another state that didn't require them. I'm trying to remember,
but I think it was a local requirement to register on base. Best bet
is to check with the JAG office or the MP's at your new station as my
experience was back when clubs were weapons of mass destruction.

Re: Emissions, What to Do?
You are allowed to maintain your registration while on active duty in the
state where you claim "legal" residence. Register your vehicles at your
mother's house, or keep them registered in Florida, and maintain your
address there.
As an active duty member, you are able to claim that your cars come from
another state, and you can keep them registered there as long as you remain
on active duty. You are not required to register vehicles locally while
stationed outside of your home state, you can maintain registration in your
home state.

Re: Emissions, What to Do?
I faced a similar situation a few years back with an old pickup truck when I
got stationed in California. I spent alot of money having the exhaust
upgraded and replacing the catalytic converter. Once I got there though, I
found out that I could just keep my S Carolina tags and nobody even cared,
including the base and the state. I'm in N Carolina now and just replaced
the California tag on my Cherokee with a local one after living here for
about 7 years. I don't think you'll have any problems keeping your FL tags
and registration.
