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.
I’ll try to find the link.
Another thing to consider is that a lot of military folk and maybe a few former Air Wisconsin people have already come here for Norfolk. While I think it will remain somewhat junior I would guess that there are plenty of FOs here that would like to remain in ORF. I think there are enough of them on property now to fill most If not all of the Round 1 lines there. I have a feeling it will always remain easy to get into ORF, but you might be stuck on reserve for quite awhile since most of the future ORF Round 1 line holders are already on property.
