Learn it here and now, and understand that if you are serious about this path, you will research research research just about every class, course, topic, village, personality, region, country, TTP, on your own time, prior to asking for help. It is what separates us from other organizations that can summons a staff or research agency to answer their questions for them. Every QP here has devoted much of their personal time to becoming smarter, faster, stronger, and improving our weakest link of the chains that bind us together as a Team.

Your post hits home not only professionally, but personally as well as our time is heavily invested. Why should we freely give it away to someone who doesn't appear to even have taken his own time to try and understand the depth of his own question?

Your post strongly indicates you have not considered your audience. Mentoring is conducted here daily, I still log on to broaden my horizon whenever I can. Frame your questions here carefully, and you will get a response that is equally crafted with care.
Well stated but, still too many variables.

There were no "typical" days, some routine, but not typical, and every team had different responsibilities whether in garrison, the field, or on deployment.

While the road to get there is difficult, the reward often is still only what each person makes of it. If it's a "schedule" this person is looking for, SF is probably not the best fit. As most QPs know, being flexible is still too ridged for the fluidity needed to accomplish the mission. You can't put a time stamp on that.
