I had EXACTLY the same experience when my squadron deployed to Nellis once, I was one of the Marines!

One of my co-workers...
Always talking about what he would have done and how bad assed he would have been. Once he said his wife (girlfriend at the time) wouldn’t let him join the military, it was all over.

I LOVE the wanna be Rangers.....

My favorite are the "I would've joined but I would've fought the drill instructor. I have a problem with authority"...
Thats fair but no body breaks more shit or reports "random machine failures" like third shift. If its going to break, it's going to happen on third shift.
When I was active duty Air Force, we had 2 shifts, days worked 8 hours and nights worked 12 or more...
Ouch. My experiences refer to manufacturing shifts. Our company installed an automated system at a plant in Virginia. Whenever there was an issue, it was third shift.
Yep, in the Navy day check works until night shift comes in. Nights work until all the airplanes are fixed.

We used to say "Sleep faster! When you can get 4 hrs sleep in 2 hrs time, you are ahead of the game"

Literally listening to my boss (huge ego) telling a coworker how he almost enlisted for the Vietnam war...."i was gonna be in the 82 airborne, I was ready! but then the war ended..."
I think these stories are better than the ones that act too tough. "i was gonna enlist...."
