I am reminded of a real-life military posting given to some on CVN carriers.
In short you are in a 3 foot wide by five foot high metal tube for 9 hours. It gets "better", that tube is embedded in the runway and your job is to look out little window slits and tell the landing pilots if their arresting-hook is in a good position for a safe landing and mating with the traction cable. If one of those planes was to miss that cable it would probably belly-slam into your metal tube.
So, in contrast, standing in a hallway at activated attention for a standard shift is nothing compared to sitting inside a metal tomb.

Three words: Industrial strength glue.
I'm going to say if the Federation still uses MACOs, this would be one of the places you would find them.
Per the Temporal Prime Directive, we aren't allowed to speak about what happened to all the MACOs
