Yeah I never did the cold or hot bed thing. I would rent a room in the area when I was on reserve, and even held the room as a line holder for while. Once I figured out that I could commute the day of my trip, I got rid of the room. It was actually a good deal at the time, $400 for a private room and shared bathroom in DC. But I always had around 3 days off in-between trips on reserve and as a line holder, so I was able to get home to see the fam.
