Do you think one more move is worth the trade off of more time at home vs. being the new kid one more time? I know there is no right answer, but I wouldn't mind hearing from those who have been there.
It comes down to how much personal time you want with her. You are going to spend a couple of days a month going to and from work. Attending her HS events and functions will be much easier living in base. Your bidding options to get to your daughters soccer game at 3pm go up exponential living in base.
It does also depend on your commute. All commutes suck, some however more then others.
