I was also doubtful when I started Lance captain, but given the proper seniority in your seat, it's actually not that hard. Weekday 2 days and turns fly off the shelf. I have also been able to get -2 through -4 in net zero every month that I have tried. Dropping to absolute zero isn't a given, but it's definitely a possibility if you're near the top of your base.
I am sure this changes with the seasons and manning, but that has been my experience.
