The only way to get a sick day in the US Army is to be wounded to the point where you're making a mess on the floor or you're unconscious.
And, as an extension of that, there are no sick days in my current field. If you need medical attention, you have to travel several hours to another city.
If you sprain your ankle? Drive on. Volcanic diarrhea? Drink water. Temp of 104? Ibuprofen 800s. Sucking chest wound? Okay, you can see a medic.
...
Needless to say, I can't wait until I have a lame office job where I can call in sick just to stay home and make sweet love to my girlfriend.
