Whether you lived in RT or ABQ the commute time is the same to DHA. One is to the north and the other is to the southwest.

caliman,
I plan on contacting my Relo advisor tomorrow to get updated. I have not heard whether I have cleared BI or not. Does anyone know if that comes by e-mail, phone, or by FedEx?
Benefits documents include 401(K) election, life insurance, designation of beneficiaries, etc.
