Assuming you intend to stay in VA for an indefinite period, it has become your tax home.
You retained your state home of record, PA, up until you left active duty. If you did not return to your home state but started working in VA, you became a VA resident.
So technically, you would file two part year resident state income tax returns, PA until Dec 16, VA from Dec 16 to Dec 31.
As PA does not tax active duty pay earned outside of the state, you would owe PA tax on only "other" income while on active duty.(interest, dividends, cap gains, etc). PA threshold for filing is $34.
Any money earned after Dec 16 would be taxable on a part year resident VA income tax return. Filing requirements are here: http://www.tax.virginia.gov/content/who-must-file
About the license and auto registration, most states have a period, usually 60-90 days for a new resident to obtain registration and driver's license in their new state. If ever got stopped by the locals, they could hit you up with more fines for being a VA resident with improper registration/license if they found out.
