I'm done with this topic...again. I'd like to think most commuters are honest, but frankly, you are the only one to admit to NOT abusing sick leave. For that, I applaud your high character.
But I'm embarrassed to be associated with a group in which most commuters on this board apparently have such low integrity.
And i am embarrassed to be associated with a group of guys whe "think" they have a moral high ground because they have lived in mecca with no base closures or furlough's.
The reality is bases close and people get displaced and furloughed (twice for me), moving to base is fine and dandy if you feel you have a little stability. But that is not the case for most of the guys hired between 1999-2010. PG i am mostly a lurker and sometimes i agree with you but i think you are out of touch on this subject.
