Went to a clean slate. We’ve traveled and had lots of family time, and I’ve still worked. Just when and where I wanted when our plans allowed. We can pick up out of base any time so I’ve worked through several bases this summer.

Red/green (arbitrated and set in stone) rules allow people to drop and swap easily with some exceptions (often weekends can be a struggle). Drop to zero allows people to get what they need off if the days are green without worrying about credit thresholds then focus on building back up later. This creates a much more free flowing pool of open time which gives people more freedom to drop because they know something will pop up to rebuild which creates even more free flowing open time and on and on.

I imagine most that drop to zero don’t stay at zero but it allows for a lot of flexibility. Red/green is the key but DTZ goes hand and hand and I’d say being able to pick up out of base does as well.
