I know it must depend on the roll and that, but generally...

Usually as much as 5-6 hours per day. Some days more, some days less. At Cranditz in the first weeks nearer the 5.
PS, if you didn't guess, that includes sleep.
PPS. Years ago civilians got 2 weeks holiday per year and military officers got 7 weeks including bank holidays. Next year ALL civilians will get 6 weeks which may include bank holidays AND all servicemen will also get the same. Now that is an erosion in comparability and the AFPRB said it was entirely in the gift of the military how much leave was granted and was not part of our pay and conditions.
When we had that great leave advantage we also had a half or full days travelling time to get home. Then this was routinely 'stretched' to include all ranks. Then some beanie said it was cheating and it was stopped. More erosion.
