Manage a groups of RPs.
Stay in. Shift work. Force people dig trenches. Conduct weapons training. Wake people up for contingency drills. %#@$@ people upside-down.
Sleep in dog van while driver driving. Dog got dai ji, PC jialat. Go round the base scare ghosts. Got bunk but no time to sleep. Got air-con room to rest but no bed.
Amen your friend.
EDIT: Added some more. -
Tell him to say hi to the gas mask ...

basically everyone has said it. PC to NSF RPs. Depending on how the security thing is run in Tengah, could be shift work, could be 8-5. I am only sure the FDS in SBAB is 24/7, so if its the same, its likely shift work.
PCs, as usual, mostly zbl one.. -
Basically field defence squadron is a defence unit in every airbase.
Their responsibility is the security of the airbase in the event of an infiltration by enemy special forces.
They are like more sophisticated RP, with a very large area (as big as a new town) to secure and protect. They also have specialised training because of the unique area they are protecting.
Shift work, cause its 24/7 business. -
Well, he technically works only 7 days per 14 days while most people work 10, though there is utterly no consistency nor mercy for his weekends/public holidays.
