<p>[QUOTE=&quot;VistaCruiser69, post: 25397488, member: 107016&quot;]What got my habit going was 12 on 12 off shift during the entire 5 and a half years I was stationed onboard the Midway.&nbsp; started at 1900 hours and ended at 0700 hours.&nbsp; The benefits to that was, 1/4 the crew worked those hours unless we were in a conflict, so there were hardly any lines for anything, and we were the first in line for chow at 0500 hours.&nbsp; Working those hours, breakfast was a dinner meal while dinner was a breakfast meal.&nbsp; To this day, I love eating cold pizza and spaghetti &amp; meat sauce for breakfast.</p><p><br /></p><p>Only downside was, after 45 days at sea, we&#039;d get a day off (steel beach picnic).&nbsp; The bad part about that was, the day off would be during the day when the night crew was asleep.&nbsp; So it wasn&#039;t really a day off for us night crew anyways.&nbsp; I particularly enjoyed night shift because I always felt that if we were attacked (which a higher probability of attack would happen during night) and the ship had to go to GQ status, we&#039;d be the first on scene since we were already up.&nbsp; Down aft on the port, Up forward on the starboard.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
