I'm at TSA...qol sucked when I was commuting and when I was on reserve. Now I live in domicile, and have a line, so no complaints. I've been here less then a year, and a normal month is 85-95 hours, with 100 plus billed. I can get 13 days off, sometimes more, unless I want to make a little extra money, then I can pick up some open time usually pretty easily. My mid year pay should be at 12.5, so I should make right at 25000 for my first year. Not great, but liveable.
