Well, in my day, they were usually done during the work day. If they were hallway parties, people probably spent less than 20 minutes there -- just grabbing some food. Other parties were held at the lunchbreak -- starting at around 11:30 and usually ending by 1:30.
The government doesn't pay for the parties per se --- (other than to contribute a bit of comp time), but the attendees usually pay a per person fee.
According to Alahusker, in his day, they were held "after hours"... but then military people are on duty 24/7, so I'm sure what he meant was outside of the normal business day.
Either way, let me assure you GF, tax dollars are not going to waste. When you work in the Pentagon, your normal workday is anywhere from 10 - 14 hours, and you don't get overtime or comp time. It's just the way it is. And it's not unusual to work on Saturdays, if you get behind or if there is something hot. The average turnaround for information is 24 hours.
