    I cannot wrap my head around anyone that would begrudge people having 3 extra days off at this time of year. Good grief! It’s the Christmas season. If there is one thing families need these days is more time together.

    @OPS….you know it’s an OPS position and all that doesn’t come with it when you take the job.

    What people dont realize is that the SOF employees that are non career services OPS employees do not get paid for these days off which impacts there paycheck greatly.
