I would guess 10 out of 12 months a year I actually start in HSV. And probably 8 out of 12 months I operate into or DH into HSV after my trip is over. Not EVERYTHING is into and out of HSV when based there, but a majority is. Sitting R2 at home (if within 130 miles of HSV) can be nice.
Thanks Chip, great insight. I had a friend that was awarded HSV, while in training, about a year ago, however I guess there were a lot of classes and movement then.
