I agree with the last guy, many of us can tell you what it is like but I would start at the top of the food chain. Remember that all they can do is say no right? I would give those guys at least 1 month maybe 2 then shoot the stuff to Mesa if you can't hold out any longer. Other than this advise I can tell you I have only slept in my own bed 8 days since February thanks to those in scheduling. Yes, my perdiem is great but the wife really doens't care for that little extra money. Also there is the 14 hour reserve days and the 16 hour duty days that start to wear thin. Add a few days off out of base for various reasons and its easy to see why you don't get much time off. I'm starting to depress myself so I will leave it at that.
