As you said - you couldn’t help your configuration and therefore it doesn’t seem to actually be a strategy…in spite of your eventual success rolling thunder. Semantics, I guess. And in my limited experience, luck and serendipity have been more profitable than strategy anyway.
Are you talking about a spillover green slip with X days at the end of the first month and RES days at the beginning of the next month?
If that's what you're referring to, I read your original post wrong. In that case, I would prefer X days at the beginning of the next month. If I had RES days at the beginning of the next month I would still take a green slip if I either wanted to bank PB days or would be assigned a trip on those RES days anyway.
