Nah, that stuff about staying in all the time isn't true. There
will always be a standby company, but even they're a a few hours
NTM - all they have to do is make sure they're contactable. In the
pre-mobile phone age when I served, almost everyone carried a pager
and the COS had the numbers.
BCU and parades is fun for all of about five minutes - the rest of
the time it's a pain. Give me a strike mission any time - at least
it's not boring.
