How many hours do a military active member work per week?
LOL…military doesnt work 40 hours a week… no… they work LONGER. 6:30-7:30 PT 0900-1700 duty hours 9 hour days IF youre lucky because most units keep you until between 1800 and 1900…. and if youre ramping up for deployment or youre out in the field then you are working twice that. Also take into consideration the 12-24 hour duties such as CQ and Staff Duty… Also take into consideration those that dont work regular duty hours such as Firefighters and Military Police… who often work 12 hour shifts…not including PT, weapons draw, guard mount, and paperwork. And lets not forget the actual deployments… where you could be out in the middle of nowhere on a mission for weeks at a time and the only sleep you get is 30 minutes here and there and done in rotation with your team members. The military does more before 9am than most people do all day.
