okay what is with this stupid shit of working us 12 hours on a FRIDAY NIGHT. from 3:00 pm to 3:00 AM!! and why are we still here for broken shit on airplanes that can be fixed in the morning by the weekend crew. NOTHING is flying this weekend let alone this coming morning. the shit I fix is all done with. it has been since like 6:00. WHAT THE FUCK!!! why do I have to be here just because other people don’t know how to do their fucking jobs! and i don’t want to hear about that fucking “were a team” shit. when was the last time one of them help us fix some of our shit. not that a engines troop would know what the fuck he was doing but what the fuck!! I don’t see any of the people that fly the fucking thing here this late. and they get fucking payed more. but i have to be here on a friday night and all I want is a beer. and a person to drink with, but no I have to be here because we have people that aren’t motived to do their jobs until 9:00 at night when we all want to leave… FUCK THIS PLACE.
Regarding friedo’s comment about the universal value of furbies, and his sig line about Jack Chick, I had a great idea.
The Jack Chick Furbie. When it comes into close proximity to another Jack Chick Furbie, both start screaming something like “Gays are bad!! Gays are bad!!” I could make a fortune I tell ya’
Don’t every get one near a Tinky-Winky doll though.

What if a war breaks out at like 2a.m. and you have gone home? huh? Where would that leave us? The preceding was brought to you by Jokes by Deb[sup]TM[/sup]
Now for the answer I saw in the military. Hey the guys on the night shift are the better troubleshooters and repair people. The day shifters are the better at playing “crew chief” and helping to launch the planes. Not to insult the day shift cause when it comes to repairing a plane fast, they get the job done.
So what you want is to be able to carry on the tradition of not working like the rest of us did? [sub]also brought to you by Jokes by Deb[sup]TM[/sup][/sub]
well if a war broke out at 2:00 Am and I wasn’t there I would get called and woken up and would be there in less then half an hour. it’s call a recall. we train those all the time. second, yes the later shifts tend to be better troubleshoots but that doesn’t mean that me and the people that work with me need to be here when it’s not nessisary… I think of it as a moral thing.
nooc reread my post, the first and last paragraphs are jokes. But I am sure you saw that.
Also I was in… now remind me what is that branch of the service, you know the one, where you are active duty, you fly planes, wear blue, you go around singing “off we go, into the wild blue yonder, fly high into the sky…”, uh what branch is that again? Spent my four years on the flight line.
You sign on the dotted line, you works the time your superior says you have to. I know you have a moral obligation to bitch and moan, but this isn’t about morale it’s about you going out on Friday nite. Just cry me a river.
How would you like to spend your Friday night changing track on a tank? It really sucks, especially when that tank isn’t going anywhere.
I got fed up too. Like deb said, we all signed the papers. Don’t reenlist. Make the best of it.
There was all kinds of stuff I didn’t like, but I don’t bitch about it in a public forum! Think OPSEC! Geez you have no idea how much someone can put together by reading little tidbits here and there.
The next middle-management weenie who tries to make me pick up someone elses slack by telling me “we’re a team” is going to get beaten with a flaming two-by-four wrapped in barbed wire.
