Appreciate your time and wisdom.
Yeah,
Don't sweat the commute. The military board seems to be pretty anti commute for some reason. It's not that bad (downright easy with a JS reservation system). I'm with you, I am commuting so that we can live where we want, keep the kids in one school with friends etc, and be near family, oh and to ski.
The key is to embrace it and own it. Be productive on the flights, even if that just means reading or watching movies. Most importantly, never feel sorry for yourself.
