Seriously no one stood watch in our berth in port or at sea. We had about 180-200 in it. Berth was for all of A and R Div. The BT's and M - division had split berths though fwd and aft. Enough persons were coming in and out all hours of the night it wasn't needed.
What I am questioning is the quite possible conditions that may have brought the guys sleep on. If Uncle is handing out stress pills as the articles say in some persons it could make not going to sleep an impossibility or in others on rare occasions it could make them flip out. I know what those pills are capable of doing. Second thing is there are several disorder which can make staying awake impossible for some and I've seen that also. Those disorders can show up under stress. Four times sleeping? Then at fourth time too take his own life with a note written on his arm that really did not make sense? I have a lot of questions that I would need to see answers too before I could say any of it was justifable.
Wow, didn't know that but it makes sense. I guess flight deck personnel had it the same way, I think they were on 24 hr call.
