We are house hunting in the Dayton area. August 15th is my last work day and we are moving back to Ohio. Hopefully I'll get a DoD contractor or Fed job at Wright Patterson AFB. God help the Ohio button bucks.

Just a couple tips from a guy that lives in the area.
Stay away from the cities. They're full of trash both white, black, and mixed. The exception is anything east of 675. Beavercreek, Kettering. Etc.
Consider splitting the distance between dayton and Columbus. When I got out I took a job at WPAFB but I bought a house north of springfield 30 min to wpafb. 1 hour to Columbus. I worked at WP for 2 years. And in Columbus for 6. The Columbus job market is 50 times stronger than dayton. And DFAS in Columbus always seems to be hiring. If you split the difference try to stay Max 15 min from I-70. It took me 15 min to get to the highway (8 miles). 30 min on the highway (35 miles) and 10 min in downtown cbus. 3 miles.
It's just hedging the bet for the job markets.

Good to hear Chuck! Once you're settled we'll attend a shoot or two. You are good at finding arrows, right?
Ditto what Joe said - Good choices Beavercreek, Kettering, Centerville, Washington Twp. Springboro if you don't mind a little farther south.
Welcome home!
Welcome home!
Damn, that went quick lol.... Good luck with your move and future job hunting.... You shouldn't have any issues in that area..... If you do then it's just more time in the woods.... You earned it lol.....
Good luck and welcome back.
Just remember there are still 1000's of houses under Bank control from all the foreclosures. There are some real good values out there in Real State if you dig deep enough.

Awesome news TF.
Joe has some good food for thought in the location of your house shopping.
Thanks again for your service to our country.

Thanks we never thought in a million years that we'd ever be moving back home. We put an offer on a house in Springfield today. I doubt we get it because we low balled them pretty bad and there are a few other folks interested in it. We'll see how it goes though.
I was actually shocked at how much opportunity there was IRT DoD program manager contractors in this area. It's a huge leap of faith moving with out having a job, but I'm sure I'll find something that fits nicely.
Jack, thanks I will definitely send you my resume.
