Uggggh,
didn't you get enough of those crazy shifts in the SPS?
I averaged 80-90 hrs per 7 day week. Three swing shifts, three mids, and then three days off, but usually had to work 2 of those days as well.
Got my leave denied for two years straight. Only got some when MPC sent a nastygram to HHQ stating I had accrued my max 60 days and had just lost six days leave. My asswipe Sqdn CC then ordered me to take 15 days leave, but only on my scheduled days off. I got even, he retired as a LTC, got passed over for Col several times while commanding my sqdn.
One of the reasons I seperated was a study done on retired SPS members, which stated they lived only an average of 4 years, after retiring with 20 years in service, mainly attributed to the screwed up schedules.
