Give me a call man. New job gives me confodentiality.

I just need some well deserved leave. Have to wait on my Senior Chief to get back.

Two hundred... and seventy? Holy shit. o_o

Sometime up to 6 in a day. Once we even had 7 cause there was a KIA thrown in there. People don't stop dying. Most are old and retired, the younger ones normally have a bigger family that shows up. Some times people from their division/platoon.

Damn. I can see how that'd get pretty rough... *hug* Try and hang in there.

I'd really cuss up a storm on the reason for all these
constant and unnecessary deaths.


...

Ugh..*Taps his own forehead repeatedly.*

about 95% of them are either old age or car crashes. Its not like they're going to war and dying. They die naturally.

Well damn...wtf, car crashes? Jeez, my grandfather didn't even go that route...
shit...

Mine was sleep. (Thank god...he didn't "suffer", and I'm thankful for that.)

Not saying "anyone" should suffer, but jeez...

And old age is, well, "common". So, at least it wasn't something
war related.

Yea, like said:
"Try and hang in there. "

Also, why the hell would your fellow Navymen "joke" on
your performance?
No need for that garbage. Sheesh. Not everyone can "work
hard".

Its not joking. You get looked down at if you're not perfect here. "Perfection is the goal, excellence is tolerated." That's the motto of the guard. I've just kinda gotten used to it.

Great motto, but understand the insanity inducing nature. I hope you get a well deserved rest! *hugs*

I thought perfection was a requirement for all of the military.
Also, That's just how things are when you are on the ceremony guard.
As for dealing with death all day, I am surprised you haven't become numb to it yet. I know I would have. After experiencing enough tragedy and people crying, I probably would have become desensitized to it.

I thought I was. I mean we joke around about death every day to keep ourselves desensitized to it. Its just the workload I think. I'm on funerals again tomorrow. I just need a break.

How many vacation days have you accumulated since you joined? Cause maybe it's high time you use some of them.

Lol I have 33 available, I'm just waiting for my senior chief to get back so he can approve it.

Gotta hate it when that happens. You want to take a vacation, But you have to wait for your commanding officer to get off of theirs.
