So I’m American military, what I do and what branch is unimportant, but I will tell you I’m currently outside the US. We’re apparently doing important NATO things with important NATO countries. Honestly, most of the time it’s pretty boring. Although I do get to meet some pretty cool people from different places. This is a story of one of those people.
For a while when I first got here, no one was quite sure what to do with me. I didn’t really have a job, then someone went home and I took his spot. That meant I started getting off work at about 2am local. Part of our dining facility is open 24 hours a day so I would stop and grab something to eat on the way back to my room. All of this means that I am awake at really the only quiet time on the base. All the late sleepers are definitely out by 2:30 and the early risers don’t really start getting up until around 4am. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still stuff going on, but it’s about as quiet as it gets.
