First, let's refer to other people's articles.
First, let's take a look at the answers to Yahoo's question about the overtime situation of the Self-Defense Forces.
A person at sea.
The basic idea of the Self-Defense Forces regarding working hours is "working 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, emergency response". There is no guarantee that a disaster or emergency will not occur at any time. You need to be ready to take action. Therefore, the Self-Defense Forces do not have the concept of "overtime". For the time being, working hours on weekdays are stipulated by rules, but "overtime allowance" is not paid for work outside those working hours. No special allowance will be given even if you work on duty 24 hours a day. Besides, if you don't finish your work within the working hours, you can't go home until the work is finished. In particular, the work of executives is large from the beginning and often involves the entire unit, so it cannot be postponed. It is often the case that you stay overnight. When I first worked as a unit (a correspondent on an escort ship), I went to work by 6 am while in the port and returned home before 2 am the next day. I also went to work on holidays (Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays), and I was able to take a full day off once or twice every three months. During the voyage, I kept packing in the bridge and the telegraph room except for meals, and at other times I was working on paperwork in the officer's room, and sometimes I didn't sleep for 60 hours. This is not a special case, but a typical work of a young SDF officer. For those who value the value of wanting to spend their leisure time freely by going to work on time and leaving work on time, executive self-defense officials are no more than a task.The Maritime Self-Defense Force is also busy. I also know a lot of JMSDF executives, but especially when I'm out in the sea, I hear that I can only sleep for about 4 hours a day. Of course, I keep working all day long. I can't go home and I don't get any allowance. I think the article is telling the truth (although the JMSDF has a crew allowance of about 30%). However, it is not so busy all year round, and depending on the department, there are few places where you can go home on time.
For the time being, the JMSDF can't step on the land all the time, it doesn't connect to mobile phones, and it's not recommended to be unusually busy. (I said I would quit if I became the Maritime Self-Defense Force.)
Next is the GSDF person
I want to let my subordinates rest, but requests for training support come in one after another.
The average platoon holiday was about 20 days. The busyness of work varies depending on the unit. The substitute holiday disappears after one year has passed. Therefore, the substitute holidays that have passed one year are deleted by drawing a red line. In other words, the substitute holidays that are deleted by drawing a red line will be free work. For example, if the daily allowance is 10,000 yen and the 30-day substitute holiday cannot be consumed, 300,000 yen will be free for one year. Don't you think this is pretty terrible? Despite having a large amount of substitute holidays, it became a problem to draw a red line and erase the substitute holidays. Perhaps it was a problem during the defense inspection. This is because some members were unable to digest and erased with a red line while having a substitute vacation of 30th and 40th.
This became a problem, and it was reached that the commander should confirm the status of taking substitute leave for the members and take responsibility for taking the substitute leave. From senior units and commanders
"Resting well!"
"Digest the substitute holiday!"
"Why are there still so many substitute holidays?"
Is instructed. However, even if I want to take a day off, I can't take a day off, so I have no choice but to pretend to take a day off and work, and I'm going to use my substitute leave. This is the reality. I think the spirit of cutting off my vacation, sacrificing time with my family, and doing what I need to do is wonderful, but this situation is still strange ...There is a GSDF. The JMSDF is busy only when aboard a ship, but the GSDF is busy all year round. Moreover, there is no allowance like the JMSDF. The average holiday for subordinates is usually 20 days. This means that Saturdays and Sundays are completely destroyed for 20 days in a year, and we are not resting for that amount.
Most of the causes of holidays are training. You may stay in the mountains for a week or two. During the exercise, in general society, you will continue to work 24 hours a day. Since the Self-Defense Forces are exempt from the Labor Standards Law, there is no problem even if you exceed the working hours for 8 hours or more, and the allowance for that amount is less than 1 yen.
As an executive self-defense officer, you will participate in almost all exercises (not in the case of SDF). First of all, the workload of senior SDF personnel is not something that can be completed within working hours. Basically, it is an amount that does not end unless you work overtime for 4 to 6 hours a day. On top of that he has to participate in the exercises.
Therefore, the senior SDF personnel will return to the office immediately after the long and painful exercises, and will endlessly work overtime after crushing the holidays. (Even during the exercises, there is no need to ask and answer, and work will accumulate.)
In addition, senior SDF personnel must be transferred every two years. Currently, you only pay for the cost of moving, but the cost of moving is not limited to the cost of moving things. Souvenir fee, room cleaning fee, children's entrance fee, goods fee and so on. Perhaps 50,000 to 100,000 will be at their own expense for a single move.
Also, becoming an executive self-defense official does not mean that your salary will increase significantly. It's only tens of thousands of yen.
Due to the busyness that makes life difficult as a person and low wages, there is currently a shortage of executives in both land, sea and air. A common case is the opposite of his wife. Where is the wife who opposes her husband's career advancement? She is here in such an unusual condition.
The thinking process of solving problems of the Self-Defense Forces is always as follows
"Overtime, overwork"-> "Retired"-> "This is because the members feel busy"-> "Because I don't feel rewarding, I feel busy! Make me feel rewarding!"-> ...
The obvious difference is that ordinary people will understand. The Self-Defense Forces never "let's reduce work and training." It may change if more people can think of troops and members ...
