So for instance, I'm on an X day on the 22nd, I GS and then I'm on RES again the 28th-1st, won't I be forced to use the PB day in that RES period?
Yes. To use PB days to either drop a trip or reserve days, there must be adequate reserve coverage.
If you are on reserve and get a GS on your off days you get PB days that start (basically) on your next scheduled on call day. You bank PB days when the end of the month rolls around and you haven't been able to use all the PB days you are due. In your example of 28th-1st, it depends on what bid month the 1st is in. But yes, your off days roll over to be used on on call days in the same bid month. This is what allows one to "Roll Thunder."
