Came apart at the nicest times like during E&E. Plus, had to build our the straps for our backpacks...crap that sucked too!! God I miss it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ntrprnr 0 #28 September 8, 2007 58 hours nonstop to finish a final 3-month paper that I waited until the last week to do. No drugs or chemicals other than niccoteen and caffeine. It sucked. I know SEALs who went five days on 7 hours sleep total. I totally tip my hat to them._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

ntrprnr 0 #29 September 8, 2007 Should also add a flight to Tokyo to Newark, home for five hours, then the last flight to Vegas to catch a late dinner/meeting. By the time I got to sleep it was about 6am EST, 3pm Vegas, I'd been up with sans 30 or so minutes of fitful sleep on the plane about 36 hours. That one, though, was kinda fun._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumper03 0 #30 September 9, 2007 I routinely did 96 hours for the last six months I was finishing my doctorate. Explains why I finished a year faster than anyone ever in that dept. I don't recommend it. Scars remind us that the past is real Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymedic 0 #32 September 9, 2007 QuoteEMS Earning Money Sleeping shhh it is a secret That's news to me....where can I find a job where I don't get woken up almost every night i'm at work. as far as being up for 24 hours...I've been up for more than 48 due to working a double and never getting to sleep due to multiple calls. It happens..no big deal...I just crash afterwards. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
