I say go to wherever you’ll be happy. If you’re from CAE and want to live in base? AWAC is a good fit for you. If you live in the Northern VA, DCA or ORF area and don’t want to commute, then PSA would be a good choice.
During my time, except a year I had to commute and commuting sucks. It’s aggravating and stressful. It’s no fun getting bumped off jumpseats or being sandwiched between two fat people in a middle seat oozing into your personal space. Plus commuting you have to come in the day before sometimes or can’t get home that day when you’re finished.
Plus, commuting you deal with delays, cancellations, weather and perpetually full flights.
Take a fool’s advice and if you value you’re sanity, don’t commute.
