Yep. Even with VBDs, the TDY percentage is running 11-15% in IWA this summer. We have had guys volunteering for a few slots, so involuntary TDY has only run about 5%, but it is definitely higher than it should be.

I disagree... the seasonal bases never had a problem getting voluntary TDY's.

42% of August TDYs are involuntary. People aren’t exactly beating down the door to spend a month on the road without a rental car and in hotels without kitchens or good food options.

What happens this month vs what will happen when VBD are two different animals. I’ve been here a very long time. Seasonal bases will be filled without a problem by plenty of willing participants.
