On was on this helicopter infil-extract mission and got back and was immediately put on the gunturret of a convoy that oh by the way was going to an outpost where I was going to spend the next few weeks (read: months). I think I was up in the ballpark of two solid days. I ended up throwing up from energy drink overdose.
I can’t imagine being awake that long and having to do things that have actual consequences. At least if I drop into a microsleep while playing a videogame or get paranoid and shoot at a friendly no one gets hurt.
Definitely seen the black dog on the road driving and that was only after a 24hr stint behind the wheel under some less than ideal conditions.

It’s fascinating how much us humans can endure.
