Sorry to steal your thunder and enthusiasm. If your young and single and live in base and willing to be TDY'd for a few months until you get some seniority it's tolerable. Other than that you'll have a QOL that's horrible and you'll get burnt out. I came from a dying regional with no upgrade in sight, Ive taken a QOL hit but I'll admit the paycheck is bigger.

Hopefully in 6 months this contract drama will be behind us and we'll be on par with NKS or JB, then I'll be more than happy to invite guys over.
