Also do you even have a say in your base or is it wherever they want you?
You can change bases anytime a standing bid comes out. Although I don't work for republic I would assume that they probably run one every month.
As far as if you have to stay there, the answer is no. On your offtime you can stay anywhere you want. I'm sure you've heard the term commuting before right? Those are the pilots that choose to live some where besides their base. This choice definately cuts into your off time but if moving to your domicile is not an option then this may prove to be necessary. hope that helps.
