I was in the Air Force for 20 years, and worked 25 years after that, till I retired 2 months ago. For those 45 years, I was a shift worker, nights, holidays, weekends. I did not necessarily like it, but I knew it going in, and sucked it up, and just did my job. It came with the territory.
I appreciate your service and sacrifice for our country.
Now, do you think that working at a Pizza Hut equates to what you did? I don’t.
(Yours was better, btw)
