That is very true. DONSA for this DONSA for that. All federal holidays. Block leave for Christmas for all of December and first week of January. At 1AD at Fort Bliss mandatory family time everyone is off NLT 1500 EVERY Thursday.

We had that 1500 cutoff on Thursdays at ft. Stewart as wells
But being in the only light infantry brigade in a mechanized division and other things in my chain of command, that hard time rarely happened.

GTFO with that shite. 6 month deployment every 2 years. The time between deployments was spent going out for weeks here and there to train for deployment. In port we were 3 section duty (sleep on the boat every 3rd day). Non-duty days were 8 to 9 hour days unless there was a lot of maintenance going on which could put you working 20 hours some days.
Maybe the punk arse Army got "family time" but if you want family time on a fast attack you better get them to come eat dinner with you on the boat.
