Come on. We all knew what we were signing on for when we told them in the H.R. Interview we would do whatever it took to get this job. There in lies the problem. If the average 4 day is worth 77 hours away from base and you do 4 per month, that's less than $27,000 per year gross. For most of us with union dues and medical plus taxes that's under $20,000 per year bring home. Be careful what you wish for.
