I do like the improvements they said we recieved on return including the prohibition of being assigned a sim.
If they call you with a 5 day block, 16 to 24 hours before and give you a 3 day and a 2 day, doesn't seem like the end of the world unless I'm missing something else.
And not having to check in when finished with an assignment, like you had to do with CA/CP. Now you just walk when finished and wait till your next LCO period.
