<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If the next guy tells you he is &quot;bubble up&quot; and good to go. Get out, get fed, get clean, get to sleep, and get ready for your next shift. <br /><br />Our MEU had an S-3 who would not turnover the command center during ops. He found out the hard way. We were on 15 minute alert for an extended period. We were running 6 hour shifts with an hour of turnover. 32 hours into the standby he was so tired he was ordered ordered to his state room for not less that 6 hours. He missed the green light. (It wasn&#39;t a big deal we were recalled before the birds were feet dry.) But he learned his lesson.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Mission success can&#39;t hinge on one person. If the unit will fail due to one persons abscence, then that unit has issues far larger than one person can fix.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Shifts? The only soldiers I ever knew that worked shifts were cooks. There was never a time I departed work on a schedule. 1630, what was that? Formation for Retreat.

Personally, if my unit was going through shit when my shift ended, I&#39;m staying until they can handle me not being there. Other, however, I have seen cut-and-run the second their shift is up because they don&#39;t think it&#39;s their problem anymore; not realizing that if the problem isn&#39;t resolved by the time they rotate back in, guess who&#39;s dealing with it?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Shifts, as a grunt we only had shifts on guard duty- everything less was until mission accomplishment or a rest order.
