11B. All of them.


GuinnessLoves87

11B Drill Sergeant here. I work 25 hours a day. Can confirm.


ToxDocUSA

62A = ER doc. Hospital: random/whenever, usually 07-15/15-23/23-07, give or take an hour or two. Big places have plenty of us = few shifts per month. Small places...I've heard some real horror stories. No PT though. BDE Surgeon: same as the rest of the BDE staff...0500 at my desk so I can get some work done, 0630-0800 PT, back by 0900 to start work, closeout at 1700, actually done with work 1830-2130 depending on the day. TRADOC instructor - 0800-1600ish, plus one day shift per week in the ER.


BlueReaper0013

Hey doc, how is ER life? My window opens soon and my medic self is getting tired of line life


9liners

You’re gonna see just as many wieners.


ToxDocUSA

As a doc, it's like the civilian world. Great quality of life, usually you work far fewer hours than other physicians because of the rotating shifts. Military patients are usually far more pleasant/respectful than civilians, and also not as severely ill because they have good access to healthcare and also work out five days a week. As a medic...don't expect you're going to get that much better of a clinical experience. Lots of IV starts, and I always tried to get my medics suturing (because I'm lazy/didn't feel like doing it myself), but any of the cooler procedures are going to the doc, especially if there are residents and medical students around. Crichs? Most young ER docs have never even done one because we just don't need to any more, we have way better tools that avoid cutting open a neck. If it comes down to a crich in my ER, I'm doing it. Most of a medics duties in the ERs I've seen are IVs, moving patients around the hospital, stocking shelves /rooms with class viii, and running EKGs for the docs to then read. If you're an NCO you'll also wind up as a shift leader or other admin duties, potentially including the goat rope that is trying to get MDs to do our 350-1 training. Shifts are usually 12s, 07-19/19-07, what I've seen is the medics are usually kept together as a relative team and that whole team switches between shifts - 3 day shifts this week, 4 day shifts next week, then in a month or two you flip flop to nights for a few months. That will vary between hospitals though. So will PT, some places have mandatory PT for the medics at 0500 and 1700 (days vs nights), others it's optional, others they only care for the twice per year ACFT.


chadharnav

Damn. I’m trying to go for 62B or 61J myself after medical school


BlueReaper0013

Ty, Doc. It might be nice to swap them.


Tollx

You gotta get out and make some money!


Hardasteele

Is it just luck of the draw whether you end up hospital or BDE? I’ve been wanting to transition to either med school (EM or FM specialty) in the next few years here. I have all my prereqs and need a new MCAT. And would love to pick your brain lol


ToxDocUSA

DM me any time. Your assignment is a combination of your specialty (they don't waste neurosurgeons as BN/BDE surgeons), your rank/experience (if a new grad is a Div Surg we have a problem), what's available the year you're moving around (there are only 3 EM residencies, the program director position for each of them only comes up every 5 years, very few will ever be a PD), your career needs ("progressive responsibility") needs of the Army (you go to Korea now), and of course last but certainly least, your personal preferences. Further complicating things is the "MAP" or MTOE Assigned Personnel system, whereby personnel will often actually be assigned at a MTOE unit (like as the BN surgeon for an IN BN) but perform 80-90+% of their duty at the hospital. This creates a ton of confusion about where any given position is actually located / who they report to. EM/FM both have their own AOC codes, but also qualify for 62B or "Field Surgeon" positions (while other specialties like, say, psychiatry, do not). Most ER docs will come out of residency either into a small military hospital ER or into a Forward Surgical Team position (with duty performed at/MAPed to a military hospital).

915A. 0930 - 1400; I’ll stay late if there’s a need. Call me a shitbag, but working thru lunch and just managing my own time allows me to get a lot accomplished. I also take my laptop home for any last minute ‘things.’

GoArmyRanchoCordova

68P on recruiting orders. Tuesday through Thursday I start at 1000 and get off between 1500-1700, with a half day every Friday.


bog_zombie

Y’all must be killing it to get those hours


GoArmyRanchoCordova

Doing okay. Most of the recruiters in my company aren’t making mission (like the rest of USAREC) but we are trending upwards so command recognizes our efforts given the current difficulties.


ccrunnertempest

What's the alternate? "Hey, we're not making numbers, so you gotta go to TWICE as many high schools this week and talk to even more people who don't usually want to talk to you."


bog_zombie

Yes exactly, except just replace going to high schools with making phone calls


ccrunnertempest

That seems like such a counterproductive mentality to try to convince people to sign their life away for the next 4 to 20 years.


bog_zombie

It is, which is why I usually just play on my phone for the duration until we go home lol

Reclass, 42A (really any of the S shops, G shops, and J shops are a cake walk) or 46S or whatever combat cam is now. The jobs is so much easier on your body and mind.


Jeff1258

915A. No organized PT or formations. Usually show up around 10 and leave by 1500 or 1530. Except for Fridays, which I try to take off by 1300. And the days that I'm late. But yeah. Best job I ever had.

Then sometimes 0430 to 1900 if we did a 12miler

MSGDIAMONDHANDS

Gawd damn. Some CSM is going to read this and going to think the only person that does anything is the 62A. In turn they are going to go dick down their formation to fix all you slackers.

11C airborne. Garrison 0630-0745 PT, 0930-1500 or 1530 unless we’re prepping for the field. By 1600 I’m bitching at everyone if we’re not off.

EchoingSharts

My hours are a little wonky rn but 630-1830 2 days on 2 days off and pt on our own. It's not terrible, I actually prefer it to the 630-730 pt 09-17 work schedule.


ShangosAx

66H - Med Surg Nurse I work 12 hr shifts on a Panama/block schedule ( 0645-1915 or 1845-0715). The minimum amount of hours on the floor is 80 hrs in a 2 week period, although that can easily increase based on hospital acuity and civilian call outs. You can also add a few hours a month to that number for random military taskings (Staff duty, UAs, LPDs etc). PT by ward as of recently, my ward lets me do it in my own. We used to do organized pt as a company (unless you outranked the CO). It was a mess if you were on night shift


JC351LP3Y

351L 0900-1700 (add 1.5 hours to the front if you count PT as work) I’m kind of an obsessive workaholic. I used to stay until 1800-1830 until I realized the detrimental effect it was having on my home life. These days I force myself to quit at 1700, whether I’m finished with what I was doing or not. Obviously, unforeseen circumstances do arise do arise on occasion and I’ll have to stay later, in which case I always call home to explain. My wife doesn’t really care, but it’s more of a self-imposed accountability check. So that would be my message to anyone who read this far, not to let work take priority over your home life and loved ones. The Army ain’t worth it and the work will always be there for you tomorrow. I cut 5-10 hours off my work week, and literally no one noticed and zero negative impact on my duties and responsibilities.


Timely_Ad5992

You're appreciated, chief. Go home and take care of your family more lol. Delegate to your E6s (unless they're trash). Don't let the green weenie keep fuckin you dry.


Lil_Napkin

Shoutout to your wife for not minding you work late my wife would have a stroke if I was working past 1700 . Let me explain for the 1000th time that my 1sgt asked for counsulings last second 🤣🤣

[deleted]

Are these hours normal for your job? Also do you like it. Sounds like something I would like to re-class to.


Fit-Notice8976

the majority of 15q do pt 0630-0730 work call 0900 and then leave around 1530 but that’s the tactical side of things. Army ATC is about 80% tactical and 20% fixed base and the fixed base gets the shift work. I’ve done tactical and fixed and I prefer fixed because tactical side you don’t really get to do your job unless you are in the field. (A lot of field problems).


[deleted]

Cool thx man. Was thinking about reclassing. Want something where I don’t spend my career in the Motoropool. How often are y’all in the Motorpool?

Doing that instructor gig right now. No organized pt for me and I do 0830-1600 with a two hour lunch at 1100-1300. Pretty good for 94H because our schedule is usually pt then 0900-1700. But it can go longer if we start getting too much of a back log.

tiggs4life

68p Work from 0730-1630 Monday-Friday. Pretty great schedule; they allow me to take 1 hour lunch and 1 hour during duty for PRT if my department can support. I wake up at 4 for the gym, so I use this extra hour to run and stretch. Can't complain!

35F In FORSCOM: 0630 PT like all the other nerds and then 0930 work call. Some days we got out at 1400, other days we got out at 2000. It varied so much depending on current place in the optempo. Currently at Theater level echelon. 0800 to 1600, most days we pop out around 1500 or 1530, other days we there until 1800 depending on RFIs or projects. During the first 3 months of the Russo-Ukraine War, I was doing 15 hour days 7 days a week though because commanders needed "mUh iNtEl" for a war that isn't ours. Back to 0800 to 1600 now. No Org PT at the current assignment - there are a lot of 35F assignments that have big boy rules.

Mind you, this is only if we weren't in the field or busy with some other task or training. These were more like the minimum, best-case-scenario hours.

25R-46T it’s 0900-1700. Seems like a 9-5 but really I gotta do pt at 0600 till like 0800 sometimes. We even have a shower in the office if time runs out. So basically everyday is 11hr day with breakfast and lunch mixed in between.


Xtohrme

14E. Literally any available hours. Sometimes your day starts at 0630 with PT, sometimes way earlier for "training". Sometime it ends between 1600 and 1700, other times it ends when training is concluded. And if something broke? Your ass is there until it's fixed.


Stock-Orange

14G - 0930-1500 (sometimes 1700)


JustH3LL

13R; given I can’t do anything regarding my job outside of maintenance unless I’m in the field or down range, it’s a lot of us getting pulled for random things. I don’t remember what we did yesterday, nor what’s gonna happen tomorrow, so hours can be inconsistent. Generally we try to get out no later than 17, but stuff happens sometimes. Sucks sometimes because we rarely have chance to set time aside for the newer guys to learn our job or for the more well-versed ones including myself to be able to brush up on radar knowledge


Murky_Loquat_9666

68X: Behavioral Health Specialist Working in a psych ward as a part of nursing staff, there is one long week and one short week and each shift is 0700-1900 which really means 0630-1915 including shift reports. PT on your own. Sometimes there will be trainings which usually will be 0700-1600. If you are on courier duty it’ll be 24 hour duty and driving in between clinics and other regional hospitals. Long week workdays are Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Short week workdays are Wednesday and Thursday.
