You’ve done great work here. Our society faces great challenges that will force us to change the way we live. Unfortunately there is always going to be a group that wants to bury their heads in the sand and say nothing is wrong while attacking the people that are trying to do something about it.

These times call for change, Trump, his supporters and others like them across the globe aren’t capable of making that change themselves, they’ll have to be dragged along kicking and screaming.

Your knees go after a while. Walking on steel all the time. Guy on my boat (attack submarine) was on his last sea tour -16 years in and was having a really hard time getting around.

Personally my hearing was affected - lost 30/40% in one ear. It probably affects everyone differently.

Not trying to hijack OPs thread, but no they didn't make you take any thing. You could have on your own I suppose.

OP mentioned sleep being something that everyone needed. Your mental psyche was probably more affected by exhaustion. I remember times we'd be at sea and I'd only sleep for 4 maybe 5 hours every other day for a couple months at a time.
