Send us a text

In this episode, we dive into the complex realities of working overtime in the Army. For service members, the demands of military life often extend far beyond the standard 9-to-5, with overtime becoming a common part of the job. But is it always a good thing? We explore the benefits of working extra hours—like the opportunity for career advancement, skill-building, and increased pay—while also examining the potential downsides, such as burnout, stress, and the impact on personal life. From my perspective, I offer a balanced look at how overtime affects both the body and mind, and discuss strategies for managing workload, maintaining morale, and ensuring work-life balance in a high-pressure environment. Whether you're in the service or just curious about military life, this episode sheds light on the hidden costs and rewards of going above and beyond the call of duty.
