I drive nearly 800 miles every drill weekend round trip. Yes there are units closer to me, in the same town even. I've been in four units in my career and two of them ( including the one I deployed with) we're horrible, how far would you drive to serve in a squared away unit?

That's a lot of driving! I'll take your word for it that it's worth it, and I hope I never get to a unit that would make me willing to drive that far just so I don't have to deal with them.

I have traveled 500 miles one way for two years while working out of state. I didn't think twice about it.

This is a difficult situation. I have been asked to come to a unit that is about a 6 hour drive. I would love to go to that unit. But I am trying what I can in my own state. It is very tempting. But it would put more of a strain on my family overall. If I were a single man I would. I am not saying by any means that my unit is bad but I would love to be in an Airborne unit again.
