HAHA I know how you feel. I usually work about 4 days straight then get a coupe off. I am allowed to sleep but I usually cant until late in the second day.
What do you do?

Graves are bad enough, try working 5 grave 8 hour shifts a week. On my weekends I have the choice of being sleep deprived or staying up all night by myself.

i usually work monday through friday, 2300-0800. I hate it with a passion. I have been on this shift once before, same time of the year. I got sick and was constantly pissed off. This year, same thing im getting sick and i have been pissed off for the past month. Every night when the alarm clock goes off i smack it and swear.

Hey you get a radio. Man I should have joined the USAF. I dont get anything for keeping Marines in line. I know how you feel though I wait for someone to do something stupid and then I explain to higher how we can fix it without to much fuss instead of thier way. HAHA God I love the military!

Could be worse for me I guess. When I was a troop handler for the Comm School at 29 Palms I worked 24 on 24 off for 6 months straight. The only way to get a real day off was to take leave, until I took over making the schedule. My schedule turned it in to 24 on 72 off.

I would think being stationed at 29 stumps would be bad enough it its own right!

At least you didn't get called in on your 4 day weekend because some drunk ass SGT can't make it into work on time. So now I'm calling everybody on the alert roster to ensure we have good numbers and addresses for them. The CO and 1SG are talking field Grade article 15 for the SGT. Man I love the Army.
