this seems to be the only explanation on the internet of what a uscg 'billet' is ===================== seems to be that a billet is a position on the organizational chart and a funding slot in the budget so if a motor lifeboat is staffed by 4 people when they go on a mission - and they have 4 crews to staff the boat - with each crew working 24 hours on duty and then 72 hours off duty - then the billets for that particular boat would be - 4 captains + 4 drivers + 4 deck swabbers and 4 poopdeckers - ie - it takes 16 fulltime staff members to keep one boat in operation 24/7/365 if they work 24 on and only 48 off - then they need 12 people to fully staff that boat 24/7/365 its the same in the FDs - they dont use the term billets - FD uses the term 'positions" or FTE or staff or members - but its based on the same factors such as shift length and daily staffing etc -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
