Ideally, the commuting is manageable to live in CLT and bid somewhere east coast so it's not so painful.
Ok, so you’re military. Yes the commute is easy...if you can embrace it. I definitely recommend get hired, make 1 move to your top choice domicile on the AF dime. I will warn you that a lot of military guys (and I am military) will tell you to avoid commuting at all cost, but take it through a filter. Take the long view, 2 years will go by quick (obviously standard disclosure that that economic disasters could halt CLT movement for decades).
I did a very crappy 4 hour commute, losing 2 hours of time zone for 4 years.was also commuting 10 hours by car to my reserve gig. You’ll be good to go.
