I agree with the above. I went from 3 Jul - 20 Jul without turning a wheel. That included 2 blocks of reserve and 3 short calls followed by my HDOs. I live in base so that is why it is fairly manageable.

I try to do military duty, when I can, on my last day off and on a day off after a reserve period. When placed on my last day off, they cannot contact me prior to 0100 on my first day on and they cannot put anything on my board until 1300.

By putting military duty on my first day off after a reserve block, that essentially blocks them from rolling my days off. It's working pretty good so far and who cares if they think I am trying to "game" the system. As far as I am concerned, I am doing military duty on days off.

Unfortunately, I only have about 7 TPs left until the end of this quarter so I need to be a little more judicious!
