My job is swing shift...

Work 7 days (0700 - 1900)
2 days off (mid week)
7 nights (1900-0700)
5 days off (including the w/e which means I only get every 3rd w/e off)
start over

It has its pluses and minuses.

That's the same schedule we had during Desert Storm.

I miss that schedule... I'd work 16hr days to get that back... once I get back in the states it'd allow me to take a 3 day trip every other week or so... that'd be AWESOME! I'd rack up so many fuck'n miles it'd be insane!

That schedule isn't worth a shit when you're on base lockdown for 6 months......I felt like the guy in the movie "The Shining".
