The UK Armed Forces will soon only be available 9-5 with weekends off, and don’t expect an answer during lunch or tea time.

We have seen a siege of single digits and teens here since the beginning of January. Working outside at the refinery, I can’t help but sympathize..!

I was stationed at Camp Lejeune in 1969 and our standard training schedule was 7-5, w/ two hours for lunch. We also didn't work on weekends.
However, there were many times when we were training in the field and worked 24/7, through weekends, etc.

The Swiss air force is a 9-5 M-F gig. There was a recent hijacking of a Florence-bound plane to Switzerland that revealed this.

Or they might just unionize like the Dutch armed forces did.

Similar to the Swiss air force response during the recent hijacking. "It was after office hours".
