Dealing with stress from work.

I love it when civilians bitch about their jobs.

Except retail, retail is probably worse than the military, only because you deal with the sniveling general public-- of course, it all depends on where you work.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wait - how is the military any different. You signed up for the shit, no one twisted your arm.

Did you think it would be a cakewalk?

See, with a civilian job, there's nothing really keeping you from walking out the door. Sure, bills have to be paid, but if you're resourceful that's not that big of an issue. Not to mention basic labor rights, labor unions, and all of these other legal protections you get as a civilian that don't apply to military at all.

Even with civilian contract employees, their contracts are similar to ours, except theirs usually include somekind of escape clause. Ours doesn't.

I just think it's funny what people bitch about at their jobs. You're late for work, you get bitched at, I'm late for work, I look at judicial and non-judicial punishments and possible incarceration. You guys go home at the end of the day, and they can't take your right to eat or sleep away from you, they can for us.

It's like comparing apples and oranges, I just think it's absolutely hilarious what civilians choose to bitch about. As I'm typing this, I haven't slept in 3 days, why? Because that's what I've become accustomed to.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I don't really complain that much about my job. It's not THAT bad, except for time spent away from friends.

I just think it's funny that people complain about theirs, when it's really easy to change their situation. It's like you're saying that they can't change their situation. Because, they, like me, put themselves willingly into their job. It's not like anyone came by and put a gun to our heads and said "YOU MUST TAKE THIS JOB!"
