Well, I would think if you knew anyone here, they would advise you NOT to buy a house. One of the first things I was told by my buddy that works here when I got hired is to get ready to be displaced a bunch of times as long as I'm at the bottom of the seniority list. It's not like displacements are new at UPS. I don't think you're an idiot for buying a house but you can always rent it out if you move to ANC for the short term.
