159 hours of overtime over a month period. So basically 80 hour work weeks.

If this was 159 hours in a month then I would have to agree with you that is not as bad as it sounds.

When my dad was in the Gulf 7/7 , I am sure he logged easily over 100 hours plus.

Reminds me of when I was in high school and we hada a Japanese exchange student. Dad was home from work by 530 every day M-F , didn't work weekends.

One day she tells him "you lazy man, my dad no come home all week, work too late sleep in city"

weird culture.

What kind of pansies are they raising over there? "Land of the Rising Sun"? Land of the slackers more likely.

Okay - so you're at work every day (boo hoo), and you're there about 11 1/2 hours a day (maybe 12 if you take a 30 minute lunch).

I mean, come on - you got 12 hours to rest - EVERY day.
