I live in base and hate 1 days. I much prefer driving to the airport and doing the employee parking and airport song and dance 3-4 times per month. Plus anything less than 30hrs home I feel like I'm barely home at all. Just enough time to shower, sleep, cook a meal, prep a uniform and leave again. The only real benefit is sleeping in my own bed next to my SO but we get enough days off now that it's not really worth it. I'll happily fly a 5 day trip unless it's complete garbage. I even like international 6 days. Back in my 135 days I used to do 21-30 day trips, that stuff wears on you fast. Now I've become used to airline trips, 5 starts feeling long but for the right trip can be worth it, 4 is not too bad, 3 seems to be my sweet spot. Good thing there's a lot of variety in the bid pack.
