I spent my first 2 years at FDX sitting reserve in MEM while living on the east coast. It sucked. It made the military gig easy (local), but sitting in a crash pad on call away from the family is a bad deal...period. Since then, moved to Memphis and sitting reserve is the best deal around. Commuting vs. living at your base...different thread, but being at home with the family and making the move to MEM has been a great deal.
