Drew,

Hope you are well.

Depending on where you are and what you are doing.

If you are on exercise then it depends where and what your downtime is but there should always be scope to contact family and friends. If you are operation then this will differ.

If you are in your home unit then you are able to carry your mobile phone and contact family and friends whenever you can do so.


When back from operations you will have a period of decompression. with your comrades then back to unit to sort post operation admin out before departing on some well earned post operation tour leave.

Hope this answers your question
