So while on vacation how many people do you expect to send on vacation?

Well after that pun it's clear where he should start.

[Asmodean]

Since Greece is Nato, whatever his rank is called in Greece, if he is a junior officer, he is probably either second leutenant, or if he is a noncom, he would be a sergeant.

this might be a greek invention. i'm still in the army doing my mandatory service, but i get to be a low rank officer. my rank is just below a junior/second lieutenant, i'll do more time(17 instead of 12 months of a normal conscript) but now that i'm going to a unit, i'll have (or that's the catch line) an officer's work hours(m-f, 7:00-14:30)

Nope, sounds pretty much the same as it used to be done here.

And Poly isn't enough for him?

[alva]

Well, he can still do that in the evening. As long as we don't have a life....

no,no, depending on the number of officers, i'll have an "officer on service for the night" duty every few days(or more days if things are better)....

[notyoueither]

Sounds like you are having some fun, Mark.

Does that mean you will walk around with a sharp ammunition loaded gun those nights? (And is there a similar posion for days?)

Of is there something less important.

[MarkG]

no, this kind of duty(which exists) is done by privates(i've done it as part of my training). each night(literally after 14:30 when all officers leave) an officer(and helping officer) stay in the unit in charge of everything...

Sounds pretty much like it's the same as it was for me when I served as a second leutenent in the Danish army 12 years ago.

Only difference: We worked untill 15:00, not 14:30

But them greeks have always been lazy bastards
