QOL wise: The show times are early, so you'll have to get used to that. If you are going to commute in, you have to come in the day before your trip (or start of reserve), and go home the day after your trip ends. Some guys that live within a few hours drive chose to do it that way. As I mentioned I bid the option "I want to have a single 6 day off block" to maximize the days off to commute time ratio.
