Yes.
I am just pointing out of what seems to me to be a millennial "entitlement" attitude that's more out in the open in Delta/Mil double dippers than in years gone by.
I was in the USAF for 9 yrs. (30 yrs ago)

While on deployment, I've taken R&R at places you C-17 guys called forward deployed.

There are cheaper (econolodge) and fancier places as well. Crown Plaza friendly to crews, but not sure if they offer crew rate.

Is the chitty-c(h)att off line or something?
Seems like an unusual increase in the "attitude" here of late!
I don't think anybody disrespects volunteers for their service.
Just seems like sometimes, some of the volunteers expect an extra cherry on top.

We in the Navy knew the real reason it was only and "air base" and not an Air Force Base was due to the lack of a required golf course.

Sure, mil members can bid reserve instead, but why force them to give up the benefits of line-holding just to have a shot at premium pay?

I just retired with 30 years combined active/reserve including 16 years at DAL + Reserves. There is no way MIL LV should count to the GS trigger. Does anyone really think a guy should be able to do 3 weeks with his reserve gig and have the opportunity for every trip at DAL to pay as a G/S?
The reserve retirement is compensation enough and far outweighs the opportunity cost of missing a few GSs.
