It's real obvious who was never in the service.
We worked 4 or 5 duty section.
4 section = 12 hours on (0600 to 1800) 12 off - then 12 on 48 off. Then 12 on (1800 to 0600) 12 off - 12 on then 72 off. Repeat.
5 section = same thing but 96 off instead of 72 at end of cycle.
Upshot - in 5 section duty you only work 9 days a month.
When you're in your 20' s you can do it standing on your head....
I loved it.
