    I’m a sailor, but not military. I have done 9 months at sea before, it’s tough but doable.

    However 9 months without knowing when you’re going home is diabolical. We had people going insane during covid when no one knew when the ports would allow us to come in again.

      Oh ok, so you have no idea what its like, but still wanted to share you’re unrelated ancedotal experience.

      Just like when someone asks an astronaut a question, I chime in because I once rode in a hot air ballon

        Oh. I apologize then. The experience of being on a boat for an extended period of time seemed somewhat related.

        I hope my unwanted contribution did not ruin your day.
