How did you stay awake?

Question

During air ops on a carrier, its my understanding you can end up being awake for days at a time.  So how did you guys do it?

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

I see you have never worked over 8 hours in your life

Edit:

I am 41...I have stayed awake...5 days...twice in my career...and 72 hours or more more times that I care to remember...without any supplements.,...all while doing sh*t that could cause people harm

It is called having discipline and balls...
