I'm actually Air Force. Getting out after 8 years. Just tired of the deployments.
The reason I was asking about AK was because they had a good VA job posted for the new clinic that is part of the Air Base. Im a Biomedical Equipment tech.
I think I may just wait on the move until I can come up and see what its all about up there. The Air Force will move me up there for free when i get out, but moving back is all on me. So, if I dont like it, its on me to move back and that I imagine will cost some serious cash.
Thanks everyone for your thoughts and experiances. I plan on trying to come up this summer if I am able to get away from work. I also have a wife and kid to think about. I dont know how she would feel about it either. A long ways from home for both of us, but it would bother her more than me.
