Typical work day in supply consists of lining up for formation at 6 am but if there was PT the line up for formation would be earlier. And then going to work and checking the work load on stratis and then picking the gear for the work load. Then there would be another formation in the morning and then one prior to lunch time. When we returned from lunch we would continue our work load and if we finished early we would spend the rest of that time cleaning up the shop or other things that our NCO’s asked us to do. This would be a typical work day without PT. Our work day’s with PT (Physical training/running, etc) would be a much different schedule.
