Depends on where you end up working on the first part and there is no price for the second.
The work load for everyone has increased dramatically. JO's with 3-4 jobs (not flight related), DH's with 4-5! 7-9 month standard deployments...followed up by workup for surge...followed up by weps det for sharp numbers......If you are flying anything off a boat you are gone so much, its really not funny. Cant speak for other services but I am sure they are in the same predicament.
