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
