This is unfortunate and consistent with what I've been hearing. When I worked at SWCS we had the benefit of good cycle breaks to keep us focused during sometimes long and stressful cycles.

With our guys deploying on annual 7-8 month combat rotations in Group indefinitely, I wonder if we are doing a disservice to them by not allowing somewhere they can get some "downtime".

It is already a challenge to find quality guys to WANT to work at SWCS. What do we have to offer them in return if it isn't quality family time and a chance to get some college?
