How about 8 months out of the year in the red mud of Grafenwoehr?
I was lucky...I was in a battalion whose mission was airbase defense. Still, between pulling Staff Duty Officer a couple of times a week, I was on the job in the neighborhood of 80-90 hours a week, for the princely sum of $666 per month.
I'm sure there are many other examples Briefers can come up with.
This is particularly a thing for me - my first business of size was lawn and landscaping a particular thing that illegal aliens are purported to do, according to what I see...
I had a pickup, a trailer full of power equipment, a tractor with a 4' cut and the ability to bag, and at least one employee at all times. I serviced mainly luxury residential homes with an acre or better of grass. 80-90 hours a week was my normal too, because not only was I keeping lawn and gardens on some 40 acres or so for upper class homes, I was still going home every day to fix my own equipment and keep the farm going too. Eventually that expanded to a repair shop for power equipment as well, as my business opened up on another front, and I keep my fingers in that to this very day...
Believe me, we get along just fine without illegal aliens, and y'all will too. Somebody will be happy to pick up the work.
