Gilberto Diaz Castro Oct 20, 2008:
Duty vs Shift As guards we pull shifts of different lengths of time. If you prefer the use of the word "duty" then you would have to express it as "tour of duty" which is not commonly used. After 23 years of military service I know I pull duty on a four to twelve hour shift schedule. In between, I am still on duty although my shift is over for the moment.

I wonder if this refers to "night shift" or "on-call shift"...

Here's an example from an earlier ProZ question:

guard shift

Jornada is usually working day, but in the case of guards, I would say "at the end of each guard shift", "when the guards finish a shift", or "when they come off shift", etc

I agree that guard is not totally necessary, BUT, guardia is often used as in "hacer guardias" (in the mili), with the idea of a guard, guarding something, so for jornada de guardia, I want to include the word guard
