You must be lucky because 9/10 times that everyone else answers their phone and tells them they can't take the trip, you get the run around about putting in qualifiers so you don't come up for stuff you can't take. The only ones that they are nice about letting you out of are out of base GS's from my experience.
The reason why nobody answers their phones any more for GS's is because of them not letting you out of something you didn't know you were going to get. It's very hard to put in all the qualifiers to weed out all the stuff you may not want. A lot easier to let it go to voicemail then hop in I-crew and see what it is and if you really want to take the trip.
