Only job in America where you can brag about not working and getting paid. Nothing wrong with it! Seems like a lot of money is being wasted on guys doing nothing, while guys who turn a wheel could get paid more(hint, we could all make more). It's a convoluted business model. If we could monetize the system, we all could benefit.

When I lived in base, I didn't bid reserve, didn't like the uncertainty. Many don't. But it's obviously a good gig if you can't get it. More power to bidding reserve, hoping the phone doesn't ring.
