Problem is living in base is unrealistic these days. I can't even count how many displacements Eagle has had in the last 12 months. Many of us have houses, spouses with good jobs, children with friends and in schools they love. You can't just up and move every time management gets a wild burr up their keisters. Commuting isn't a lifestyle choice like Peter Bowler contends, its a fact of life and a necessity.
