Id'a been at the beach. Fuck'em.Shit......I was on shore duty at Newport RI when it happened. First thing that happened was that all the civilians (about half of the command) were told to go home without pay, and they would be called back when the budget was passed.
The military was then assembled and we were told that even though the civilians went home, we still had a job to do and all of it still had to be completed.
We were working 10 hour days for a while.........
Then, on the 15th, we were told that the budget still hadn't passed and that we would be given back pay when the budget did pass, but for now, go to Navy Relief and get a loan and tell them you'd pay it back when you finally did get paid.
Yeah.....that month sucked.
I would have been steaming.
