SF workday

I'm wondering what the typical work day for a QP consists of. I'm sure it will vary with the MOS but when the alarm rings in the AM what goes on?

I have read a bunch of books on SF but they tend to focus on Pre-Deployment and deployment.

In order for us to accurately answer your question in the manner you would like us to, please provide us an example of what type of response you are looking for. You can use your own typical daily routine as the model with which to instruct us. Make sure you don't leave out any details. Also, as each day can be different from the next, please start with a typical Monday, say at 0400am, and continue on until Sunday, midnight. Don't spare any activities or special occasions. Every detail is important!

Help us help you by demonstration please.

Blue, please excuse my ignorance. I have no experience with the army.
I know the recruiters come to the office and tackle their mission for the day. visiting schools, calling prospects or taking care of paperwork. I'm wondering what an SF soldier with such a vast skill set and intellect does. If its even acceptable to talk about.
I get to work at about 6 AM and prep the boat. I advise the other Deckhands on their duties consistent with the type of fishing trip ahead of us. I collect money and pay the crew. I throw a lot of anchors and Cut a lot of fish. These are some of the things i do when the boat sails. When it's at the dock we do a lot of maintenance. Sanding, painting and more sanding. I also have the prestigious job of changing the oil on the three Caterpillar engines about once a month.

In case you missed it, you were given an assignment.

Mboog...

You have 2 choices now, and only one of them is truly acceptable:
1. Answer the query by a QP fully, so that you might get a full answer from a QP
2. Apologize, STFU, do some research, do some PT, study, do more PT, Keep yourself STFU, get to IET/AIT, BAC, SOPC, SFAS (and get selected), get to SFQC (and graduate), get to a TEAM and find out what a day looks like.

I hear a clock ticking.

Troll sends.
