Are you a social justice warrior?
My brother-in-law works all major holidays. Triple pay, catered meals. He can clear over $1200.
I was a CG cook in my young life. Unmarried and because the duty crew still had to eat... I don’t remember EVER having a holiday off. Fact of life.
Most if the younger married crew brought their young families to eat at the galley too! They all payed, and we ALL made a day if it. Even the Old Man and his family would show up. Retirees, vets... we were a Coast Guard Family. I hear it is not like that anymore... the lawyers got involved and killed off the morale.
People put too much value on merchants holidays anyway.
