Domicile assigned!

skyrocketocelot · 04-13-2007, 09:43 AM

It's a HappySad thing.
The bf was assigned yesterday to ATL. I'm happy because there's more flights out of there than MCL!

He'll also be able to crash for free; he's got family out there. And it's a lot cheaper to live there overall than MCL too.

But it's sad because it's Mesa... oi. Eight days off a month isn't much at all, epecially when they're so erratically thrown throughout the month

But it's one more step to better QOL and that's a positive thing!

Yay for getting a commutable base, and for having a free place to stay! That's not a small thing, I tell ya. Good luck with the transition.

Atlanta is a very nice city! The busiest airport in the United States, maybe even North America, i think..

I hope everything works out well!

Oh Yea!!! Congrats on the free crash pad site and a good base for you guys. My dh is based in ATL with ASA. He has a crash pad down there. Even though we used to live there we really couldn't find anyone willing to host him while on reserve.

Congrats how exciting!!

Yay for free places to stay! That's a BIG DEAL. Reserve is hard, but you guys will be okay, and it doesn't last forever!

You are going to save tons by him having a place to stay, plus a comfortable place to be with people. YEAH!

A free place to stay is such a bonus for when the trips are not commutable! Concentrate on the good things and the rest won't seem as bad.

Thanks everybody

Congrats! Ditto on what everyone else is saying. FREE is COOL!
That's why Nick is staying with my sis in NJ- it's FREE!

When he worked for Mesa he had "crashpads" although they were really apartments with guys he knew from groundschool(s). He paid more since there were assigned rooms.

Good luck!

1/2 the battle is won!! he's got a place to stay, a set domicile and will be saving a ton of money at the same time! seriousy, it might be more than 1/2 the battle!! it's a major coup...

Congrats on that!!! just having that portion figured out is going to make it easier to adjust.
