Psst Gunther. I hate to rain on Elton's parade, but the shifts are 8 hours long. There's 3 operators per shell with one or two backup operators, so shifts are midnight to 8am, 8am to 4pm and 4pm to midnight(give or take half an hour as platoons have staggered transitions). Our squad happens to have the midnight to 8am shift.

Doh! I don't know how I missed that. I will rewrite as necessary. Thanks.
