I think most here would agree with the fact that what makes the schedules so great living in base makes it equally as bad if you're a commuter. All day trips, no exceptions. Still can be scheduled for a limited amount of single days off. It is doable with some seniority, but you're going to be away from home a lot. There are a handful of commuters in the bases I've been in but a crash pad is a must and most of the bases require a decent drive from the primary airport, as they're not able to be commuted into directly(BLI, PIE, SFB, IWA, PGD, etc).

VBD(virtual base, think permanent TDY) makes it much easier(hotel/car/per diem/round trip ticket home once a month).
