Question

please give full answas and proper ones

Answer 1

Not including Iraq, there are typically two environments in which a health care assistant, or a medic, will be assigned while in the military.

The first is the hospital or clinic. While assigned to a medical care facility hours will generally be as they would for someone not in the military i.e. 8 or 12 hour shifts with varying days off, with the exception of physical training for about an hour sometime during the day and other military requirements that may need to be met such as briefing or ranges...though not too frequently.

The second is a field unit. Here, most medics don't usually do what they were trained but instead spend the day cleaning weapons, working at the motorpool or attendind briefings and classes. Typically, the day begins with physical training from 06:30-7:30, then back to work at 09:00 where youll spend the day doing the above mentioned tasks and standing in formation, lunch from 11:30-1:00, then back to work until released...which could be early or late depending on tasks that need to be completed.

There are always exceptions and some work more, or less, and no two duty stations are the same. However, most fall somewhere along these lines.

Answer 2

entirely dependent on the Command set up, OPTEMPO and other factors, such as personnel availability. you could work M-F 0600-1500. you could work three 18 hour days and then have 2 days off, you could work 12 hours on 12 hours off.
