Biggest downfall at RAH is the basing issue. They can pull the plug and shift resources fast. Very few bases feel like they'll stay in the long run. STL, CMH, IND seem to be the big dogs. CMH is their MX hub so while it isn't the biggest if feels the most stable IMHO.

they have a deal with Jefferson County (SDF) that they have to employ so many people for quite a few years, dont know the exact numbers but it got them a huge tax break when they built the new MX hanger! So I would bet that SDF will be around for a minute as well!

She may or may not go for it, but you really don't have much to lose.

It worked for me. I just told Kim that I had an issue with moving due to the current living arrangement I was in, and she jumped all over giving me a Shuttle class instead of CHQ. It was really uneventful.
