depending on how I feel ... 5-10 a week ... It actually depends if I need money for something... IF I work, I make like 200/hour IF I work ... If I just let things go - probably 70bucks/hour (assuming a 40h-week) ... so If I need money I work a little more ... but right now I feel like vacation :naughty:

45 or so hours a week, Mon-Fri. But, I think I'm actually going to go into work here in a few to finish a couple things up. We have a huge base wide inspection starting on tuesday. GAY!!!

Im in the Marine Corps and while in the US, I work around 50 hrs a week. While I was in Iraq, I worked 144 hrs a week. We worked 72 on 24 off. Staying awake and alive for 3 days straight can be a chore if youve never done it before.

Man, God Bless you!!! When I was deployed to UAE, we work 6 days on 1 day off, 12 hour shifts. And I thought that was bad.

The only reason that I figured up the hours was because my wife told me that someone in the US had said something about how the military gets paid too much for what they do. So I decided to find out how much I make hourly......well, my pay divided by 144 hrs a week brought me to making just under $5 an hour. 4.90 IIRC.....and I thought to myself, that there is no way that anybody would volunteer to go to Iraq for a piece of $5 an hour.:biglaugh:

You are dead on!!! People don't know until they have gone over there. But, we'll save that for another day. Thank you though for your time in Iraq and making it back in one piece.

Thank you sir, I wasnt a member here during the last deployment, but were heading back out in Feb, so being able to conversate with the folks on here will make things a little easier I believe.

About 35-40 hours of work and I'm a full time student. I have weekends off though. All my weekdays are crammed tight of either school or work, so I'm dead tired by the time the weekend comes and sleep like 14hrs a day.
