From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
no edit summary
[[Space Marines]] have very organised daily routines including combat duty, prayer and indoctrination sessions with very little free time. This lends itself well to the disciplined and monastic nature of the Space Marines. They also spend very little time resting, made possible by the training and implants.
<br> <br>
*'''0400 - Morning Prayer''' - Led by the Company [[Chaplain]] , the Space Marines renew their oaths to the [[Emperor]] and the company relics are displayed. This time is also used to give out orders, announcements and other administrative tasks.
*'''0500 - Morning Firing Rites''' - The Space Marines engage in target practice with their personal and squad weaponry, awards and punishments are dispensed for consistently good or poor accuracy respectively.
*'''2000 - Evening Prayer''' - In addition to prayer, gene-seed testing may occur at this point.
*'''2100 - Evening Meal''' - A feast (by normal human standards) is provided by the Chapter serfs, and some [[Chapter Masters Master]]s may allow alcohol to be consumed.
*'''2130 - Night Firing Exercises''' - If the chapter is based on a planet where there is no perceptible night or they are based on a fleet, firing exercises are under taken in exotic environments such as underwater, through dense fog or smoke or in zero gravity.
*'''2315 - Maintenance Rituals''' - Each Space Marine is expected to maintain his own [[power armour ]] and weapons, and it is often checked by the Chapter's [[Techmarine]]s.
*'''2345 - Free Time''' - Space Marines are permitted this time to reflect upon their duty to The Emperor, however many Chapter Masters regard free time as a frivolous waste, and a dangerous distraction in the extreme.
