    Typically home time only counts for your full days off. For example, say you earn 4 days off by staying out 4 weeks and you get home Friday at 2pm. Your 4 days off should be Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. You would then be ready to head out again first thing Wednesday morning.

    First full day off. Don't let your DM pull that bull crap about counting your "half day" as a day off. If I'm getting the 10th - 14th off, that means Im getting home on the 9th and leaving out on the 15th.


    It's crazy what some of the mega DM managers can get away with.

    This question came up for me once. My dm tried to say if I got home early in the day then that day counted. I now realize what she said was rubbish.

    I always say home is where your heart is. So my hometime is wherever I am. Plus I am home daily.
