I was told we were 24/7 when I went in but in garrison we still typically had working hours and off duty hours and that varied.

FTXes were all 24/7 because you are in the field.

Back at the billets your day started at 5am. You got up, put on your PT clothes, started to clean your room, went out to first formation.

The end of the day was roughly between 4-5pm depending on when you got your tasks done for that day. It typically consisted of you waiting around to be released. This could be up to 6pm.

We typically did not work weekends. Those were off duty hours. Again, unless it was a Field Training Exercise that was over the weekend as well.

If you get deployed somewhere it could be 24/7 as well BUT it depends on that. You still would have some sort of on duty and off duty hours.
