Of course, you could argue that 99% of the population actually pays to go to locations where Camp Mirage is.
Personnel on temporary attached posting (less than 59 days) are entitled to the same monetary compensation (hardship, risk, FSP, etc) as someone who is posted for the six months. They receive similar pre/post deployment leave (prorated to the length of time in theatre) but they do not receive HLTA (although time earned in theatre can be converted to Special Mission Leave).
The two month tours are very popular with Air Force personnel for a variety of reasons. I suspect, the reason the position is split into 2 month tasks is it negates the HLTA requirement and the Air Force will not have to backfill you for the HLTA period (loss of 2 people vice 1).
Bottom line is the member does not suffer.
