One of the hardest parts about going to work every day is knowing that at the end of your shift the only thing you have effectively done has been sitting in a chair. A problem that plagues the ICBM force is that we perform a job 24 hours a day 365 days a year since the first Minute Man III was put in place without ever having to do our mission.
