CR, unless there is some type of Month on/off home-based or similar arrangement, commuting while having a family in the States will be a very short term prospect. It takes a bare minimum of 19 hours from check in at home to arrive at Jeddah.

There are some that can deal with it. I commuted to Saudi for 4 years before I brought the family here full-time. As was said in a previous post, there are ex-pats who have been here for 25 years. I don't know any who have commuted for that long. We do have a few that have commuted for 14 years. Most of that time was on a month on/month off rotation. It was also home-based.
