It would be nice if you could for instance start flagging here in VT and 5 years down the line your wife gets a job offer in Florida and you ask for a transfer and you could do that an not lose your status or time or anything else.
Or let's say somebig job is happening in another state an they're seeking experienced flaggers an you could go work in another state or just be a TRAVELING flagger in general would be awesome actually an I bet alot of people would apply, right away. You get to work doing what you like and get to travel an see other places an meet new people and learn new stuff as well.
