She leaves at 5am with five others in a commuter van and it takes about 1:45 for the trip. The van leaves for home around 3:10 and she gets home about 5pm or a little later because the traffic at that time is much heavier than at 5am.
I am trying to help her find a job transfer down here to Quantico Marine Corp Base, about eight miles away. Due to the traffic there it would still take her about a half hour to get to work on Quantico.

A half hour is a reasonable,and quite common,commute.
Good luck with the job transfer.
