Why does everyone on the Internet pull emotions out of nowhere? Please, tell me when I was mad over that? Perhaps more disappointed because my chain of command fucks everyone over? On top of that, the military is nothing of what you guys think of it. It is just as much a business as any other. We literally get paid to go build shit for people, run security, etc. Your kind of logic, however, is exactly the shit that makes people hate active duty, some even to the point of suicide. The logic that goes somewhere close to "you signed up so you aren't a person. You're now a number. Fuck the fact that you're 10,000 miles from home and 10 hours time zone separate you from your wife and kids. Have fun working 12 plus hours a day 6 or 7 days a week, because we can't afford to give you a day off over here in Spain because the terrorists will win." bravo zulu though, on being an idiot and viewing those of us in the military as non human, non emotion having folks that don't deserve a day off.. +1?

I found it between 20 and 40 usually. Anything over 40 was close (45) or an outlier (60+)

That doesn't change the fact of the matter that even those of us in the military can afford a day off. It's not like a 48 or 72 on deployment stops all operations. Watch is still stood on liberty.
