For instance, I have a free crashpad with free transportation and free food/beer when I get there if it is ever needed when I can't commute out the same day. I can also pick up trips from the base that I actually live in now that I will be a line holder. I will increase my pay significantly. Unlike most people I actually enjoy my job. I know, *** and I doing on here speaking such sadistic ideas.

75hrs + 200hrs perdiem = $3040
95hrs + 450hrs perdiem = $4170

So really, will I commute to pay my mortgage plus some? Yes.
