Rinse and do it 3 more times, except if you are a reserve, you get the super special treat, Ready Reserve, before you try to go home(usually after the last departure has left). You will become a Skype expert, and learn to love hotel turkey sandwiches on thanksgiving.
My bet after reading your posts, 2 years tops, before you quit. This is not a job for home loving family guys/gals. It used to be, but not anymore. Add commuting into the mix and its old before it starts.
I've been here almost 4 years, and I've never experienced a 4 day like that. You are such a whiner, it really is incredible. I give it two years, tops, before you have a stroke and lose your medical.
