Elsewhere....
Oct. 17th, 2008 09:05 pmElsewhere, people got home from work today more than 15 minutes ago.
Elsewhere, sailors are going out with friends and looking forward to a full weekend, instead of dreading have to be up for work in 9 hours.
Elsewhere, people don't wish every day that their place of employment would get hit by a well- aimed meteor.
Elsewhere, men can make plans with their girlfriends on days of the week other than Sunday. And sometimes, not even then.
Elsewhere, sailors aren't lied to by their chain of command so their bosses don't look as incompetent as they really are.
Elsewhere, sailors don't have their tuition assistance chits disapproved because "You're only writing one contract a month."
Elsewhere, good, skilled, hard-working senior sailors aren't treated like dirtbags because they don't write more than one contract a month.
Elsewhere, sailors are actually allowed the 90 minutes 3 times a week to work out that was decreed by the Navy's top admiral, instead of being told to get back to work and fake their workouts on their planners.
Elsewhere, 80% of an office isn't on one form or another of anti- depressants because of the constant stress and abuse they recieve on a daily basis.
Elsewhere, sailors don't routinely have leave chits and other important paperwork "lost" or "misplaced" by their direct supervisors.
Elsewhere, men and women in uniform are respected and praised, not cursed out, treated like second- class citizens, threatened, and harassed by snobby, coddled, lazy, shallow, little snot- nosed asshole kids and their narrow- minded, racist, materialistic, wannabe high society nouveau riche parents- they very people they've sworn to protect and defend.
Elsewhere, sailors with millions of dollars worth of experience and training aren't being turned into babysitters for what should be full- grown men and women.
