I wish that I could make it so you could choose multiple options in this survey because this is 2 part. (Hint hint for new feature RP) I want to know if you think it's ok to sell it or not, and I want to know what the going rate is in your Unit.
So I will make the survey for yes or no and 3 amounts. If you choose an amount we will assume your answer to the question is Yes.

I have at various times and different units, both paid for and been paid for pulling duty. At the time (over 10 years ago), duty typically went for around $30-$40. The other option we used was to do a complete duty swap - someone would pull your duty in return for you pulling theirs.
When I switched over to Special Ops, Staff and CQ were managed by a team of Soldiers who were detailed to that duty for six months. They would pull 8 or 12 on and then off for 16 or 24. The SDNCO only had to check buildings before going home, lock up the Motor Pool, and then open it in the morning - so, there was never a need to pay anyone to pull your duty. If something came up where you couldn't, there were other NCOs that would step in, and you'd eventually just do a swap - the next time their duty came up, you'd pull it instead.
As a senior NCO, I didn't care who pulled the duty, or what agreement was made, as long as the duty was pulled.

I've been serving since 1984, and to this day I still don't know what the issue is with selling your duty. We are in the business of protecting capitalism. So what's wrong with selling your duty? In the eighties I made so much money off this. And while college boys had no money at the clubs for the honeys I did

People know when they see my name on the duty roster they are about to get paid. That's all I'm saying.
