Re: Study links shift work with increased risk of heart disease

Re: Study links shift work with increased risk of heart disease

1970, NavFac Coos Head. In the spring, the Sea Bees started renovating the OT's living quarters during the day. I for one, after coming off of Mid watches, would go down to Bastendorff Beach just below the NavFac and get some sleep to the sound of breaking waves.

Re: Study links shift work with increased risk of heart disease

I'll take on more parting shot at this thread by saying, like a lot of you, I get fired up on occasion when something occurs or someone write a post that brings back the extremely fond memories of being a member of the greatest system in the world.

Then reality sets in. The truth is I can normally NOT get through the day without a cat nap, sometimes two. So, standing the watch at my age? Suffering through a swingback? I think not!!!!

Its nap time.

Re: Study links shift work with increased risk of heart disease

NAVFAC San Salvador--1967-68: we had so few STs that we had to create a 2-2-2-32 watch rotation for 9 months. But oh were those 32 hours off sweet. I remember drinking Mateus and getting drunk and "falling asleep" while sitting in the catchment basin at night. Luckily I didn't drown.
