While I don't have a wife or a family I do enjoy living my life and I was kind've worried about what would happen to my life when I was no kidding working for both.
The way I have it figured I'm not going to break guarantee on reserve anyway, and even if it did, for the amount of money it would warrant would probably not even be worth the extra time put in until second year pay.
That said I keep it real cheap, like rent is 300 bucks cheap, so money isn't an issue. I'll trade credit to sit around the unit any day, at least that's where I'm at now. I gotta say you had me scared for a second there.
Good on your for taking care of stuff at the unit. As for the commute, you transcon guys honestly baffle me, but I guess ya'll make it work.
There's a few of us with no spouse or kids that make an art out of RMA/ADOS/COADOS orders...and every girl I've ever dated will tell you I'm the cheapest bastaad on the planet
.
Take advantage of ADOS orders (or whatever the Air Force Reserve/Guard call them), especially if you are single. It's excellent experience, plus if you're dropping a lot of your gubment paycheck into your TSP it will pay off later
