I'd definitely be interested in the "5 acres and a place" and the commute wouldn't be bad. I drive 15 minutes each was as it is now. If that keeps me out of LA county, its a plus.
Mike, so far NG has been good to me. Not sure abut AS sector, but TS and ES sector have worked out well for me in the last 7 years.
Jason, its a foot in the door to Program Management. I'd like to do about 2 years with the company there and try to exit Komifornia as soon as I could after that. As for the toys, I'd keep the EBR's and suppressed stuff with my son in Arizona who is on the trust. I'd take my pistols with 10 or less round magazines and a hunting rifle or two but the AK's and AR's may have to stay behind.
Ben, I'd make it behind enemy lines before the end of this year if they make me an offer. Won't move unless the offer amount is substantially higher to offset the cost of living in Kali.
