That would be a welcome scenario:-)  

My concern is that our decision to rent the home after we PCS'd is a disqualifying factor for the partial exclusion.  There's language regarding the "main reason"  was a change in workplace location, health, or unforeseeable event.

I have a couple of other life event occurring simultaneously (divorce, retirement planning, etc) and just need this to go smoothly and not get rocked with a huge tax hit.

Again...appreciate the assist!
