Yeah, I know what you mean... I've BTDT with the Navy (not as an Aerographer's Mate, though)...
Yeah, it's just crazy. I had a few evening shifts (my normal shift) earlier in the week and then I was switched to a couple of night shifts. Now I get a day off and go back to evenings. I don't have a grasp on what day it is anymore.

They thought they were, but they were really talking to the Gulfstream. Which can give them no info, lol, cuz they aren't really investigating the storm. Moreso the upper air environment around it.jhamps10 wrote:get your tv's on weather channel NOW!!!! they are talking live to a hurricane hunter aircraft right in Dennis!!!

Switching shifts without a day or two to adjust is no fun at all... I was somewhat fortunate on shore duty when I was working for a DOD agency; I spent a year on a straight midshift (8 hr) and the other year as what we called a 'day whore' (Monday-Friday, holidays off, etc). My only problem with the midshift was when the Navy wanted to have me do stuff during the day (and I had to go out with my friends in the evening.
Aboard ship on deployment was the devil as our shifts were not in sync with the rest of the ship's... had some times when me and the shipmates in my divsion were the living dead.

Man, do I remember the rotating shifts. For years in the Air Force, I worked on a cycle of four swing shifts(3 to 11pm), 24 hours off, then four mid shifts(11pm - 7am), 24 hours off, and then four day shifts(7am-3pm). After this, we had four days off, but actually only three full days, and started all over again. Your body never knew whether it was coming or going!

That sort of thing is exactly why I say I was lucky to have a straight midshift (as lousy as it could be at times). I saw/heard of every variation of shift you can think of, most of them wretched. A common evil one was 2/2/72. Work 2 12 hour shifts, then 24 hours later work the opposite shift twice, then back to the shift you started on 72 hours later, ad infinitum. And as bad as that was it wasn't the most evil that I saw...

The storm is getting stronger by the minute. It looks very good at this time. I expect the recon to find 75 knot surface winds(Or around 85 to 90 knot flight level) I also expect 980 or 981 for pressure this time.
I think if every thing works out this will have pressures down near 930s by Saturday south of Cuba.
