It's unlikely you'd get it as a new hire. There were a few open spots on the last bid but not a ton. My guess is that if there is one in a class that it'd probably go senior so you'd need a high last four of your Social Security Number to get it if one did drop. If you're gonna get the extra money you get for moving to CGN you would need to live in base. Commuting to MEM from Europe sounds to me like it'd be rough... I guess it'd be only one leg in depending on where you'd be coming from but that's a long day. There is a 5 year limit. I've met guys who bid over to MEM for a bid and then bid right back.

I wish I could go live in Europe for a few bids but the wife hates the cold.
