I can only echo what BN and Rip have said, except that on my boat, most of the time, coners had 4-section duty unless we were in drydock or some other special in-port period. That's because the duty sections had to supply fire and saftey watches for the shipyard-type work that was going on. Nukes more often than not had 3-section duty.

Additionally, while we did have "day-after-duty" (go home early after your duty day), it was totally up to your LCPO as to whether you got to enjoy it or not... if you had work to do, you weren't going anywhere... nobody else was going to do it for you!
