Also the duty schedule rotates, so you don't always have days, or you don't always have nights.

Thats alot different from My AF days once basic was over all that stuff was behind Us, Navy is alot different from deploying etc. As we were always on base free to come and go as we pleased I basically worked 9-5 M-f and since my home was 100 miles away I went home everyweekend. One thing is my son goes in as AM but is in the reserves, I am still trying to figure out what he will do since there is no Navy base within 250 miles of us, I guess he will drill with the Marine REserves, as he never got a straight answer on that
