I can relate to this, While stationed at a military base we had an overage in the rank I was at. This particular rank was more of a technical rank requiring those who held it to be supervisors and trainers and not the worker bees. Because I was just promoted to this rank I was low on the work shift list. I was assigned as a gate sentry one day, an ammo arear guard the next day, followed by a gate and so on. I found that no one liked the ammo area so I requested it as a permanent post., While the other people of my rank constantly complained about their assignments, I went on my merry way. When asked why I responded that no matter what I was doing, I was getting paid the same. I happened to choose the post that had the least amount of people show up, was at a remote part of the base, and required absolutely no supervisory duties. I got a lot of homework for college done on that post which freed me up to spend more time with the family.

You were seeing your situation with different eyes compared to the others who were still stuck in their box. Great share! Thanks!
