Alas, this isn't true. I once had a 4-day OBR block where on Day 1, they had me DH to a base and sit ready for 4 hours. It was not at the end of the trip.
Ended up 'sitting ready' at the pool at the Renaissance PSP hotel. (You can just about do it, if your bags are packed and you're ready to sprint to your room, put on the monkey suit and hail a cab.)
