In the words of Hans and Franz (if people still remember them), "Hear me now, listen to me later!" Seriously, if she's worth keeping, she may get ****ed off, frustrated, lonely, etc, but she will do her best to keep it out of your head. The last thing you need is "home issues" replaying in your mind when you're getting into the sim at 3 AM.
This holds true for your probationary period, not just training. I've seen several probies get the ax for attendance issues.
I'm a big fan of living where you want to and working where you have to but living in base while on reserve and/or your 1st year will make life much easier.
