2. Vacation at G4. Could you describe the bidding process and how it affects your schedule in a vacation month(virtual credit, trip touch, etc...)?

Vacation is 20 hours of credit for the 7 days. You bid annually for your vacation. You are required to take it, or it would be assigned. Because awards are made pre-schedule bid, and we work one day trips at G4, there is no vacation touching.

Honestly, vacation sucks here in my opinion. In the small bases, there is not anywhere near enough vacation slots available to have a decent vacation slot. You are not allowed to pick up Open Time on vacation, so basically you just wind up with a random week off for no reason.
