Before you think the cargo lifestyle is for you, I’d find a way to somehow simulate in your life, working the back side of the clock, while also spending time away from your partner. You might think you’re a night person, but until you’ve done it, you don’t realize the effect it has on your health. I don’t do cargo, but I was in the military and worked the midshift on a rotating schedule with a day and swing shift at one of my duty stations, it messes you up more than you think both mentally and physically. Really took at toll on my marriage at the time because I was perpetually in a grumpy mood and I actually came home every day at the time. We aren’t meant to be awake all night. Being gone over two weeks at a time might not seem too bad, but combined with the schedule it can cause a lot of stress, not only for you but your partner as well. The grass might look greener, and the money better eventually, but the truth is you don’t know what you don’t know until you’ve experienced it.
