Don't want to sound harsh, but if that was your number one concern you should not have joined the USAF. We need pilots who are able to focus on the mission - do a few operational assignments and then you will have earned the right to take a stateside "good deal" (shore duty as the Navy calls it) to take care of the family. The first couple of assignments are where you learn the most - and the quality of the USAF has not gone up now that we're more kindler, gentler, and focused on the family. They don't call it a sacrifice for nothing.
