Thanks! That's very helpful. So if I do one IVD on say the 8th and another on the 14th that would count as my two IVD instances for the year? Good info, I'll have to adjust my strategy or just plan to drop 4 IVDs in a row somewhere.

So in your situation definitely bid LC on OCT 1 because you will be completely useless.
Also, since it looks like you have a REG trip ending the last day of September, I'd consider bidding at least 2 LC days after CQ since you won't be legal for anything without a 30 hour rest, so those days are basically going to be taken out either by sitting on LC not legal for anything or you'll be on an assigned 30 hour rest and still not usable.
More excellent info, thanks!
So if I absolutely must be OFF on the 4th in my scenario is there anyway they can use me on the 4th by assigning a trip during LC on the 1st? Or does the 30 hr rest req null that?
