- On this ships, we had to be in for Officer's call at 0700, then Quarters at 0730 to deliver the plan to the troops, but from there it was off to the races. Leave when done. Manpower studies said my job in port was 69 hours a week. Underway? Add 12 hours of watch daily.
- When I checked in on staff at the Academy, I was told "I don't care what you're schedule is, just get the work done." I was in the office from 7:30 to 5:30, but often did homework before heading to night school.
- Medical school. No rules, no assigned work. Pass the tests.
- Internship: Only 80 hours a week, but every second was accounted for and usually assumed you were wearing running shoes.
- Current job: doing QA on Navy corpsmen trained to something between an EMT and a nurse, assigned to small ships (300-400 mostly young healthy people).
show up by 8, see clinic, get the work done.
- Pathology residency (next job, knock on wood): have to get to work by 0645 because that's when parking fills up. People are usually around until 5. Get the work done. Side projects are required to graduate.
