OK, here's a VENT for you...
When I started this contract almost a year ago, we worked 5 days a week, average 6 hours a day. Since then, it has been changed to sometimes 6 days a week, minimum 8 hours a day. No change in pay, teaser of overtime pay dangled, but not seen. It's not that this is all that hard, it is just ridiculous. We spent 2.5 nights last week staring at each other, then getting bored enough to help another shop, cause we had NOTHING to do. We're supposed to be there to assist, train, and guide the Kuwaiti's in aircraft maintenance...... can't do that when they all leave! We had a new site mgr come in a few months ago, he decided we needed to be there regardless. Like I said, it's not hard, it's just frustrating!
I know I shouldn't complain, but anyone who was ever in the Navy knows....
A b******' sailor is a happy sailor!
