Single sailor with nothing better to do really hoping to work late again

Filed · 1540

NORFOLK, Va. — Gunner’s Mate Third Class Jason Miller is hoping the divisional chief makes him work late because he doesn’t have anything else to do, according to the divisional chief.

Miller, who is unmarried, told friends his Xbox Live membership recently expired.

“I stood duty Sunday, chief had duty Monday so he kept us here until taps, and I hope I get to work late again today,” Miller said. “I’d love to do a good 80 to 90 hours of work in port to keep me busy. I’m single so if I wasn’t working I’d just be sitting in the berthing staring at the wall.”
