Now you've lost a man for possibly a whole month if he does a span of 12 or 16 R-days in a row............
Of course, the guy has to realize that if he drops those days for recurrent, and doesn't pick up something, he's not going to make squat for the month. Those 4 or 5 days of reserve become his new BLG.
