My husband recently came home from deployment, and we families were told that they'd be working half days until block leave. But mostly he's been working from 9:00-4:00. I quipped that only the Army would consider seven hours a half day! But the real joke came on Monday when I wisecracked, "You went to work at 6 AM and got home at 6 PM; I suppose that technically is half of a day." Oh Army, you crack me up.
