I'm very sorry you were a 'tiny' bit offended by me finding it humorous. I'm sure the folks activated to support Haiti OPS who are living in tents and on cots at GTMO and on the island or those in Afghanistan doing the same also are astonished that an O-4 in CONUS on a drill weekend was forced to room with a fellow O-4 for whatever reason. Just sayin'.
As for my personal preference for a room? Like I said before, I could care less if I had my own room. It's two days of my life, if that is the case, I'm pretty sure I'll live.
Living through it's not the point. Sucking it up isn't the point.
The point is when most of us were cherry O-1's, we were told RHIP. (It also has it's obligations).
But, I find it insulting to be asked to give more and more time to the military with less and less support. It's not just 2 days a month anymore for most of us. It's not just you're going to be held in reserve, instead it's become an integral piece of the deployment package. In many units, Guard/Reserve guys deploy much more frequently than the AD.
So, NO. Doubling up to save money so that you can ask me to work more....instead of asking for the resources necessary to do the job.
Not only NO, but heck NO
