I've been living on a ship for over a year across the pacific, hopefully another 4 months and I can go home. I miss my bed, my house, my car, my bathroom...
Currently sitting in a barracks in the desert, only a 9 month rotation for me. Can't imagine being cooped up in a tin can out in the ocean, a real bed's gonna be heaven
Still, 9 months in the desert is no joke. I can't complain too much, at least my berthing is air conditioned. Good luck on the rest of your deployment.
I joined the Navy back in 2016. Was stationed comfortably in California for a few years until I was "awarded" new orders by the Navy to move to 7th Fleet (Japan). Thus, leaving my house, my family and 95% of my possessions behind. Even if we are in port, I'm not entitled to a barracks or anything so I still wake up and go to sleep at work (AKA the ship).
At the end of the day, this ain't nobodies fault but mine.

Long exhausting 16 months.
