I did originally live close to my unit, but my wife wanted to move closer to her parents creating the double commute. However, life is so much easier and less stressful for her and our kid when I'm gone (especially when the lil' one is sick) so the double commute is worth it for me. What's that ol' saying, "happy wife, happy life?"
So you're saying you get IDTT funding from AETC or your squadron to drill at your permanent drilling site? I didn't think that was allowed, I know its not allowed in the Navy.Originally Posted by TexanDriver
It's AETC, that's how. And pardon me, we receive a "GOV" not a rental car. But yeah, having a bought ticket or being reimbursed mileage definitely takes away from the pain of double commuting. However, it doesn't take away from the fact you're still away from your loved ones an extended period of time i.e. minimum of six days in a row for us commuting TRs.
