Waking up on weekdays before five in morning getting my physical performance better everyday with pt. A typical day in the army was usually very busy depending on your unit. waiting on mission to complete basically diverse to civilians job as to transport, to secretary work, to organize things. being in charge of others to make sure they work to the unit standard. The hardest part of the job was working and not knowing when you will get off the most I work was 24 hours no sleep. The most enjoyable part of the job was the people of different characters work together to make sure we accomplish our job
