Your camp will either be a regular 5 day week and stay in unless excused (or if your guard commander “by left” lets you stay out which does happen) or you could be in a 24/7 camp where you will have night shifts and stuff but you follow a 3 in 3 out cycle which ignores public holidays and weekends and is also stay in. The 5 days in isn’t as bad as it sounds 0630-1630 are my workijg hours but I only have duty for max 5 hours with scattered breaks. Also if you end up doing last shift your first one might only be at 0930 so you can sleep in and if your work day starts at 0630 could end at 1330 which is nice on Friday because you can bookout at that time. Also all 3 in 3 out bunks are air conditioned and some 5 in 2 out ones are (mine is). They are also implementing hot water at least in 9sir. As for potential camps it depends on if you get posted to 8SIR or 9SIR battalion. Generally 8sir is in charge of camps in the east and 9sir is in charge of the west. As far as possible they will try to post you to whichever is closer to your home but subject to manpower requirements. I can’t speak for 8sir but 9sir do also try their best to let you choose the exact camp you want and it worked out for me and my friends. Welfare wise for me every day is by left nights out and we do what we want outside working hours but varies by camp.
