I wish I could give you a formal recommendation or lead on jobs but if I were you I'd try to find work in the Denver area, especially if that's where your wife's new job will be. I've lived in Colorado Springs for over a decade. When I got out of the service, my first job was at Buckley AFB in Aurora and would commute up there from the Springs. It was easily at least an hour long commute (each way) on a good day. Plus traffic on I-25 is getting worse. Also have to factor in the climate and the unpredictability of the weather up here! Just my two-cents. Let me know if you have any thoughts/updates!
