I blame the military for a lot of my behavior when it comes to stuff like this. I’m willing to tolerate a large amount of inconvenience for the sake of just getting it done. Most people wouldn’t be willing to stand, sit or otherwise wait. No problem for me. I’m a professional at hurry up and wait, I can be here all day if needed.
I was just thinking about my 16 hour flight back to CONUS from a deployment a few weeks back. We flew in uniform, uncomfortable as fuck, all I did was put one headphone in and listen to an audiobook while staring at the in-flight map. Even after a few weeks back in the states I don’t think I could do that again, but I was still riding the deployment mindset of “sit and stare at the wall til I have to do something”

As an exonvict, I agree/understand
