Last I knew, the official position on you going home while you are in the homeless base was going to be your problem. They are not going to help you go back and forth.

Also, your ability to take a weeks vacation while in the homeless base is somewhat questionable. Currently, if a pilot from a regular base has vacation during a month they should have been on TDY, they skip that person and move to the next. It's too hard for them to figure it out. Not sure how they will handle it for people on permanent TDY.
I have been involuntarily tdy'd for MANY months. I can assure you that I was tdy'd on the months I have vacation. You are thinking of voluntary tdy, if you have vacation they will not take your request to be tdy'd. They have no problem forcing you into tdy on a vacation month. And they still do a great job making you work the day before and after your vacation when on tdy.
