When I was in the Navy the various base COs had lists of jurors they would use for courts-martial, consisting of officers and crusty old chiefs, none of whom were exactly known for their soft views on crime. So for trials we'd have a few groups that would rotate cases, so these people would probably end up serving on five or six juries a year. But our jury trials were generally either for drugs or desertion, and were over in a day or two. I can't even begin to imagine how disruptive that must be.
