Also you will credit 15ish hours more per week of vacation in that month and 5ish more hours per CQ day. All while having the opportunity to get PBs if you choose. If you aren't bidding RES during months with VAC and CQ, then you're doing it wrong. The added utility of PBs during the month allows you to effectively move your off days to where you want them if you got coverage days by bumping them back later in the month. 4 coverage days awarded in AUG on PBS and I never sat RES on any of them.
