Oh @MGE Dawn , I got my commission after doing a stint as an enlisted sailor. Worst mistake I ever made. It’s not like the tv/movies make it. While the enlisted are doing 12on 12off the officers are doing 36on 12off if your lucky.
Or you can be a pilot and get mandatory 10 hour break before each work day. Oh and the PowerPoints... sitting through 300 slides about budgetary requirement 10 years in the future with multiple 4 stars and retired stars. Is soooooooooo much fun. You should give up the job with a window to go do thatSeeJayneRun, autopaint and Chinatown Thank this. -
Pilots used to work flight ops to flight ops, plus being a division officer full time.
They used "go pills" to stay awake. They'd take one in the ready room before a mission. Sometimes could find a "go pill" stash in a helo that was left be mistake.
I don't know how it is now, but Vietnam was super laid back.
Officers had it bad for long hours. Enlisted grunts did to.
Truck drivers had their own names for those pills, such as "black beauties."
Military "go pills" are no longer an open secret and the info is on Bing or Google search engines.
As you know, 12 on/12 off for enlisted seems ok on the surface, unless your in a rating that has to stand 4 hour watch/guard during the 12 hours off. To many of us that 12 hours off was just a fantasy.Last edited: Jun 9, 2020

Not only is Swift entertaining to watch on the road, but also it's thread is killer...oh well, the cat fight was good while it lasted

The thing about swift is they have no one to blame for their bad reputation but themselves. They have people with 6 months driving experience that are trainers. When I 1st started driving trainers had years if not decades of experience.... Now it seems like they rubber stamp everybody just the fill a drivers seat
DoubleO7 Thanks this. -

Dale thompson, Cat sdp and 650cat425 Thank this.

Trouble is so many drivers don't stay for years to get that kind of experience at Swift, so they have little choice.
But I presume many of the starter companies are much the same in that respect.
