Mixed feelings after 5 cycles. The camaraderie is genuinely the best part, you reconnect with a bunch of guys you'd never otherwise see, and there's a shared been-through-this bond. The annoying part is the disruption, right when a work project peaks, you're pulled away, and coming back to a mountain of email is real. Family-wise, my wife wasn't thrilled the year our newborn arrived and I was away for in-camp. The system does protect you though, job security is legally covered and the make-up pay ensures you don't lose income. Does it get easier, yes in the sense that the high-key demanding cycles reduce with age, and eventually you MR and it's over. Think of it as a finite countdown, that helps mentally.
