while deploying in inevitable, the home life isnt bad. i worked sunday-thursday 330pm-~1130pm had PT 3 days a week. went home when i was done with work. had a nice house, great benefits, time off isnt hard to get if you need it and the pay is great. my 5th year of AD i had a taxable income of 47,7xx$ in 2007. not bad for playing on the internet 5 days a week. (seriously)
you make up for that when deployed and 16 hour days are regular, 7 days a week for 8+ months.
oh and worst job. Real seafood company when i was 15.
