Reserve is 11 days off, 12 days off in bid periods that are 31 days. If reserve allowed for 13 days off per month it would allow for more stretches with 3 consecutive days off.
For example, August is a 30 day bid period.
Let's say you wanted all weekends off, with 11 days you could pick 3 sets of days off that give you three consecutive days (Sat, Sun, Mon) then your last weekend off would be 2 days (Sat and Sun, or Sun and Mon). In PBS this would require you to waive a stretch of 4 days off, or if not you'd end up with two sets of 2 days off.
