I am happy to go to Lorado for a year or two to do my time with the goal of eventually transferring to McClellan in Sacramento.

1) is this reasonable to achieve?
2) what do they fly out of McClellan (KMCC)?
3) would they let me work 4 on 3 off at Lorado to leave my family in place in southern TX?

Any other info about hurdles I might face would be appreciated. Thanks!
your should really reconsider the airlines:

you could easily work 4 on 3 off (more likely 4 on 4 off or even 3 on 4 off)

if you are willing to commute to this crappy job, a commute to the airlines where you can jumpseat will be no problem. (or a drive to SFO/OAK)

you can have none of the administrative BS and make at least double the money in a few years (or less)

if you really really want a badge and a gun then become an FFDO

good luck whatever you decide.
