Non summer months one can expect 18ish days off a month. That figure is of course mandatory days off plus unused long call reserve and unused short call reserve. This is also under the assumption that you live in base. Some months I’ve spent almost 21 days at home other months as little as 16 days off at home (non peak months)

Bidding a line during summer months is def the way to go to cut down on stress and fatigue.
