But it is what it is, and rebuilding is always an option. I would hate to get so burned out moving and transporting them that they lost their joy.

I appreciate all the input.

With my ASFC choice being stationed overseas is an option, but we have an 18 month old daughter so I would at all costs like to avoid an unaccompanied tour.
Did you settle on an AFSC then? As an airborne linguist, I didn't have much choice about where I was stationed (3 options, and 2 were overseas). You'll definitely be moving around quite a bit for the first few months as you go through your different training schools (for me this included moving from Texas, to California, back to Texas, then to another part of Texas, then long TDY to Washington, then to Nebraska, and finally to England in the span of 2 years). However once you're settled in, you can sometimes stay in one location for your entire career, especially if its CONUS, and if you have a family, and you make friends at MPF. One of my coworkers had been in England for 18 years, and just received orders keeping him there for 4 more, because he just kept asking to stay, and the government likes to not have to pay to move people. If you have a supportive and snake knowledgeable spouse, it can work, but as others have said you definitely can't be in base housing, although IMO that's a bonus because sometimes there's a wait list for base housing, and you get what you're given.
