From the looks of the graph above I’ve got a good chance but the whole forced upgrade & re-basing sounds bad. Also have offer from Endeavor but don’t like their bases and wouldn’t move to any of them, therefore would have to commute.
If you aren't retiring from the Navy, find and read TheDude86's (I think it was his, at least) posts explaining the financial difference between us and Endeavor and start a great career at Endeavor.
If you are retiring from Active Duty as an officer, do what's best for your QOL and family. The Norfolk base should be around for a while and stay fairly junior.
