I was in a Navy office with someone else standing beside me. There was someone sitting in the desk in front of us. The officer in front of us said that we were "Cease and Desisted" and that that meant that we wouldn't be working for the next five weeks.
He then went on to explain that due to the situation something had to be repainted or something, and, thus, the gates were closed until 6 o'clock in the morning, at which time they would be finished. I thought that that was an ungodly time to get up, and pondered staying up til then.
(defintally from 'on the beach', which I had just finished.)
