In my experience that was the type of work schedule (or more) that you operated in when assigned to the fleet squadron. Our squadron tours in my community were often around 3 years (though they eventually got as long as 5 years - and yes - burnout was a problem). You take advantage of the other tours to help *recharge* your batteries for your next upcoming fleet tour.
