The better question is how backed up training is for both companies. If you have to wait 6 months longer for one compared to the other, you might want to adjust your priorities in life. I’ve recently moved to live in base. Once I’m senior enough to live in my base of choice at my current company I’ll move again. I have a significant other who’s been willing to make those type of sacrifices with me, very lucky.
