Low NSS's get boarded

Ask your bros who went SWO how many days they have off ON CRUISE at your same tenure, right now, today, this minute (count yer blessins). It was funny to watch the attitude adjustment when OIF1 kicked off, and the marine studs saw their classmates kicking ass and taking names on network news, while they were either sipping a Mojito in Key West or Not Scheduled for the 4th day in a row in Meridian.

Press through, flying for advanced strike guys doesn't really get fun until phase 2.

Absolutely, phase 2 was awesome. I enjoyed the heck out of it, we actually went through the hurry up phase and then the 2 weeks of not being scheduled in Meridian gig. Gotta say, it did suck at times (10 times better then deployment though) but the 6 days a week, 12 x's a week was so much better then the sitting around with nothing to do in Meridian deal.
