ross549 Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 Thanks LilBambi!!We just got done watching the football game.... on eof the best I have seen (in comebacks) in years. It was only beat by the Packers/49er's monday night game where Chris Jackie kicked a 52 yard field goal to win it in overtime.What other late night tales do we have here???

ross549 Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 I noticed last night during the graveyard shift, that i was maybe 1 of 2 people on the board at any given time.I really was hyped, because it was my first midwatch. I can get so much studying done that it is not even funny. Everybody at work complains about the midshift, but I think I am the only one who likes it.

Guest LilBambi Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 You are right, it really is a great shift for studying and reading (if you can stay awake that is LOL!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeber Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 When I was in the Army assigned to the NSA, I managed to get the swing shift (4PM - Midnight) all to myself. I was the only person in my section during that time. And I got the section chief to set a rule that as long as I equalled the output of the highest producer during the day shift (we analyzed intercepts...the day shift guys, in between coffee breaks and BS sessions, usually only put out 4 hours worth of analysis in 8 hours) I could leave. Well heck, by working straight through, I could do 4 hours analysis in 4 hours or less (it can be done at 4x). So I usually only worked 4PM to 8PM, then went out on the town. Man, I loved that job and that shift. Graveyard wasn't as much fun. The other half of the world was awake by then, generating all kinds of real-time intercepts. I rarely had to deal with that. Enjoy it while it lasts, ross549. As you know, nothing in the military stays the same for long. But it sure is cool when it goes your way.Around here, I keep seeing everyone leave about 8PM local. I must be giving up too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross549 Posted October 8, 2003 Author Share Posted October 8, 2003 The graveyard shift is only until January. We rotate every 3 months. Since I came back from my TAD to security, I have changed shifts 6 times in one month!! Now THAT was painful!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havnblast Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I work mostly midnight to 8 am so I am usually in and out all night long. Nights are usually always quiet - thank god for the internet at work, even tho it is a winME machine. I usually bring along a live cd of linux tho and throw that into the cd-rom and have a much more stable computer.I notice people posting thru out the night, I notice around 4 am central time it really starts picking up with people visiting the forum and stuff.

ross549 Posted October 25, 2003 Author Share Posted October 25, 2003 *NEWS FLASH*Norfolk, VA (AP)- Electronics technicions at NCTAMS LANT, one of the Navy's premier communications facilities, are facing yet another evening of boredom. "We have taken care of all the trouble calls, and no one has called with any other problems," commented Petty Officer First Class Evans. "I guess we will have to either resort to TV watching, or doing some training. What do you all think?"The electronics shop all went about thier business, steadfastly ignoring Evans. "Why don't we just do our own thing?" asked one of the techs, "We have all the work done." Evans replied, "Roger that!" and let them.At the time of this writing, work was at a minimum, and play was at a maximum. Everyone was either surfing the Internet, watching TV, or reading a book.Until someone calls with a problem, these electronics techs will have nothing to do but wait for the time when they are called upon to restore Naval communications.Reporting from the trenches, this is Adam Ross. Good Night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 Is that this is a good night with no trouble calls or this is I am taking a nap or my shift is over? Someone thinks I come on at 4 a.m. huh? Am I that predictable. What kind of crazy person would be up at the time of the morning? Or night?
