What’s a typical drill experience supposed to be like?

I’m a 25B in Denver where I’ve been with my unit for about 8 months now. I absolutely hate it here and I’m not sure if this is the standard with how drills are but I wanted to check if anyone else has this experience or has had this. This is my first unit so I have no idea what other units are supposed to be like.

Drill starts at 0600-0630 every drill. Our schedule always says we will get out by 1700 but we never leave before 1830. This happens every single drill and for today’s drill we have been here from 0630 and will be here till past 2000. This is the night before an overnight operation tomorrow for the rest of the drill weekend.

On top of that, I thought my MOS was meant to be doing networking and cyber security related stuff. I have basically only been PMCSing humvees each drill and have only touched CPN stacks twice.

My unit has done more 4 day drills than 2 day and we have not had a single day where I have spent less than 12 hours here. Working full time and then having this for the weekend and then another week of full time is genuinely soul crushing and I can’t keep this up. I want to transfer units so badly but if this is the norm I everywhere than I feel like there’s no reason for me to even try to transfer. I’m at an expeditionary unit if that makes any change.

I’m really struggling with this and I have no clue how to make things better other than by requesting a change in unit. I really hope this is different at other companies and units because there’s no way I can keep this up for the rest of my contract.
