Tower Duty Explained

Tower duty is demanding and easy all at the same time.  You have to make sure you stay awake, and there is no sleeping or playing games while up there.  We take shifts so you are not in there all day, but the time seems to drag.  There are towers at all remote sites, and we are looking to our areas for any sign of troops or vehicles and boats moving where they are not supposed to be.  Mostly we see the same stuff, but there are sites in the desert, on mountain tops, and even on the beach to look for boats and marine traffic.  It is a duty we do not take lightly.  We do get a tan and usually have a fan, or in the more modern towers, air conditioning.  Not exactly the battlements of medevil castles or anything.
