According to the Navy Times publication, sailors assigned to the Congressional Medical Office reported having to perform odd tasks that were completely outside of their job description, such as clipping the toenails of members of Congress or tending to their personal affairs at all hours of the day.
These tasks included, for example, delivering medicine to the legislatures at 3 am, as well as providing medical support at birthday parties, dinners and VIP events involving members of Congress. At the same time, the sailors were often required to work 70-80 hours a week.
