freeflir29 0 #8 December 12, 2006 No one has to feel too bad for me. I'm a DOD civilian and they pay me well to put up with this. Been doing this for almost 2 years now though.

Gawain 0 #15 December 12, 2006 Gee whiz, the Navy land based guys work one week per month. The Coast Guard let you take a one hour PT break from a measly 12 hour watch shift... ...you guys have it so bad. Makes me wonder how the SeaBees that were in Ramadi with my Army unit adjusted to doing all that real work...So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
