You consider Tues/Wed/Sat off to be *not bad*?!
Hopefully there's some sarcasm in there I'm not picking up on. Even if you do live in base - what are you supposed to do with Tues/Wed/Sat off? And it's worse if you're on reserve. Say goodbye to a quick "weekend getaway".
Too many people willing to accept sub-par conditions/rules in order to be home every night. Just remember that not *all* of your coworkers are home every night (due to multiple months of TDYs, RSV stints, etc).
