Since I live in base, having a single day off here and there is just fine with me.
Living in base would rock!! I’m not sure if I want to move and then get bumped and have to move again. Corporate has been good to me but the schedule or lack there of is sometimes brutal. We are a small company and taking off is hard especially when you work 100-125 days a year!!
