again, the assumption is 12-18 month "temporary stay"
Depends on what your risk tolerance is. If you have a solid resume, you’d hope for a short stint. But what if for whatever reason that 12 months turns into 3 years? 5 years? Indefinitely? In that case I’d either want to live in base or
at least work somewhere with a commutable schedule.
