20 days off a month????

Not sure where you get your info from but no one on SAR gets 20 days off a month (without leave).

Oh, and don't give me that bull about seconds being a day off - even on the seconds day we spend at least 10 hours AT WORK (midnight to about 10am).

Those unlucky enough not to live within about 20 miles of work will spend 22 hours AT WORK on a seconds day in summer (don't ask why - the answer is beyond human intelligence).

Soooooo, for some a shift can be 22 hours at work on day one - up to midnight, followed immediately by another 22 hours until they're allowed home.

Hey - Maybe that's why MilSAR is so expensive? Seconds!!

Regards.

Sooooooo, a run of 4 can equal 148 hours at work in an 8 day period.

Aren\'t there EU rules about the 148 hour week?
