Of course intra-EU tax treaties as well as the tax issues with Germany and the US might make it a bit too complex. Thanks.
Problem is, you lose out on the housing allowance if you don't reside within 100 miles of base. Around $4500 USD a month.

It’s exactly $3,500 per month. Can become more, but the Euro has to get much stronger than it is now.

Right now he’s not getting a housing allowance and living there. If first year pay in the FDA ($100/hr) is more than he’s making now, I don’t see losing the housing as a show stopper.

Most people find a place to live for less than @$2K ( +/- $) and pocket the extra, so yeah that's an extra @$20K a year..
