He lived in base, 20 min from the parking lot but still bid 5 day trips so he wouldn’t have to drive to work more than he needed to. Different strokes I guess…
If I want to, I can spend more time home as a commuter than a non commuter. Unless the person can bid day trips constantly, at this moment of my life is a non issue.

For me I would need 13+hr overnights to make it work.
