This.
Additionally, if you are commuting to reserve, your reserve will start at 5 am so you will need to be in base the day prior. If you pick up just the last leg of the day before, you will get premium for that day (16 hours or 12 if only double premium), can get a positive space from your home, and they will add the days of that trip after onto your reserve days saving you $$ on hotels or a crashpad.
Guys that live in base were regularly crediting 150+ hours during the summer
