I live in base and I am still taking the VIL (If I can hold it) Yeah it's less money and I could sit reserve and get paid 72 but I can't blame the company for this situation we are all in and I think we can all take a little hit to maybe help the company and help mitigate furloughs. It will be nice knowing I have a month off. I haven't had a planned month off in 16 years.

That plus the fact that the media is already telling the public to brace for a second wave in the fall.

Your action, or lack there of, has ZERO effect on furloughs. The only thing that will prevent, or end, them is revenue.

Media has been a little light in the fact and truth department in recent years . They are hoping to prolong this crisis for maximum damage .
