A Typical Day

Transcript

We would drive around the AOR we call it, Area of Responsibility. A typical day on duty is not like being in Canada. When you are overseas, a typical day is 24/7. You could start at two o'clock in the morning, you could start at eight o'clock in the morning and you could go right through for 24 hours, 48 hours. There is no set time on your duty. You're on call 24/7. There is no, “Okay, you did enough today,” or anything like that there. Yes, you do have your down time. I mean you can't work yourself to death, no, but I mean there is no set time per se or schedule.
