I am just making the best with the cards I have been given in ALB. Believe me, when a spot opens up in PVD I'll have a good QOL considering thats where I live with my wife and daughter. Thats the main reason I came to CJC. If the base closes (PVD) or takes a lightyear for me to get it I'll just stay for my contract term and go elswhere. I will NOT stay in ALB for more than 6 months thats for sure. If I lived near ALB I wouldn't mind keeping it as a base but the 5 on 2 off sucks while on reserve. I'm home for 36 hours once a week! I call Mikey once every couple of weeks just to see whats up and he tells me I am next in line so we'll see..........
