The homeless base is as described, except you can be forced in to as a newhire, if they decide those are the only openings. It's permanent TDY. Although junior people assigned a regular base still also get TDY'd. Depends on the month, the base, and the equipment.

If you live near one of our regular bases, it might be ok. If you are going to try and commute, good luck. The schedules are not very good for commuting.
