It's not that easy with some of the fighter units. I need 6 sorties a month plus a sim plus ground training...that generally works out to 8 days (sometimes you can do multiple events per day, not always). I'm attached to a normal active duty unit that doesn't do drill weekends, so my reserve time is mostly Mon-Fri.

Yes, I know I'll be crushed for a while so I don't need any lectures on that, but at least I know I'll go home a minimum 8 nights a month...at the end of each AF Reserve day. If I live in domicile, I would be gone a good chunk of the time I pull Delta reserve, then be definitely gone the entire time I'm at my AF Reserve job...that could leave a lot less than 8 nights at home every month.

No perfect choices here. I made the call to commute to Delta.
