I feel for you guys still pulling them.
They have really slacked off the staying awake for 24 hrs. You're still not supposed to but they don't get pissy if you sneak an hr or two. In this battalion that I am in now they had 3 guys get in to accidents on their way home after pulling 24 hrs. One of them was killed and the other 2 were seriously injured. Every since then they really slacked off.

Funny, I don't either sometimes. Maybe that's why I'm stuck at E-7.

Man, my ass is still whipped from having had this duty. Normally, we get to sleep on duty in the IOC (Installation Operations Center) as long as one guy is awake. Your hours of rest are from midnight till 0600. But we had a bunch of shitty weather coming through the area, as well as being a Friday night on a training post which lends to a lot of Military Police interactions, so I didn't get any sleep.

Seems like for each year I get older here lately, it takes an extra day before I feel rested after being up that long.

Of course, my mother-in-law and brother-in-law being in town meant I only got 2 hours of sleep when I got home.

I had it once this month and will have it twice next month. Then I'll go a month or two without having it. So it basically works out to once every 6 weeks for me. Every unit is different though and your rank plays a big part in how often and what type of duty you have. (level of responsibility)

Like Quakindude said, it has a lot to do with what Unit your in, what your rank is, What duty roster your on, and how many other people are on the same roster. I was duty exempt for 2 years which was nice, but lately I have had it about every 2 weeks. Now that I am leaving I am exempt again until I get to FT Sill, then I go back on the roster again after 30 days (supposedly, usually you end up on the roster right away) The suck factor really depends on what duty you have. Most places you have internet at the desk, but some places you don't, just depends.
