Honestly, going back and reading my post, I’m not sure why I wrote that. I think I was conflating two different things in my head and in my response. I must be tired, sorry.
But yeah if you live in base you won’t lose any nights commuting, so 14-18 nights at home is probably a good range, depending on whether you have a line or are on reserve.
