Do you necessarily need to live in Philly?
Yes, Philly residence is pretty much required as when you are not deployed, you will either be using your personal vacation time or will be flying flights out of Philly.
As far as deployments, two options really...
You arrive to work at 7AM and they ask you if you have a bag packed and if it is with you because they need you and the plane in XXXXX. If you don't have it, you turn around and go get it...
Or
You will be told a few days out you will be going to XXXXX.
Once out, you could be out on the road for a single day or six months depending on the schedule and where you are needed. I was in Florida from 1/22 until 3/20 this year. When I first arrived at the company on 1/5, one of our conquests was leaving one 1/6 for what was supposed to be like a four day trip. They were still on the road on 1/22 when I left for Florida and I don't think they came back until almost February, if not into February. Also have heard of people going out for a day trip and being told to stay where they were for multiple days.
