Thank you to everyone who served our great nation 🇺🇸
I've never hear an Australian text-to-speech bot before.
The Navy had a Commodore but it was changed to Rear Admiral Lower Half because the term Commodore seemed prestigious and the upper officers didn't like that. By calling Rear Admiral Lower Half, it put them in their place.
Navy officers....always concerned about the small shit. Yes, I am former enlisted.
@@landtuna3469They’re never gonna beat the allegations 😂😂😂. Thanks for your service 😉
I was a AO2. I loaded on F-14,P-3,A-6 and I was on a nuclear team
In 1976, when I was stationed in Sacramento at McClellan Air Force Base I saw one of the last Air Force Warrant officers in the stairwell of the Communications HQ building.
My father retired from the USAF in 1962 at the rank of CWO3. He didn't wear a uniform from the time he was promoted to CWO because his specialty and rank were Classified
Thanks Dad!!!!! 🫡 proud of the man you are and raised me to be!! Go Navy!!!!!
Thanks Mom!!! Proud of your service in the US Navy.
I always thought the rank of the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy was an E10 and therefore there was only one of them.
E9 plus bonus
There is only one "Master Chief of the Navy". There is a "Command Master Chief" at every command, Submariner have COBs... "Chief of the Boat".
@@Hosscoller When dad was in none of that originally existed. The top enlisted was an E-7. The E-8 and E-9 rates came in after he had made E-7. Command Master Chief did not exist either at the time of his retirement. Master Chief Of the Navy came into being when he was stationed in DC. He was nominated and requested his name be removed from consideration. He was again nominated and again requested removal on the second go round. CMDCM came in in 1995, 14 years after dad retired. But that does not mean that dad did not fill the role as a Master Chief. In fact, dad had other titles while serving as an E-8 and E-9. As an E-8 he was also called Leading Chief. He was also assigned as the Department or even Division Head. He was Barracks Inspection Officer also while in DC/Ft Myer. As as E-8, he also filled the billet of an O-3 for an entire tour of duty. As an E-9, he also filled a Lieutenant's billet. And even though he was a CT, he also had the title of Master at Arms on his last ship. One thing not mentioned in the video is that an E-9 also trains Officers above him up to the O-6 level. At that point the Navy expects the Captains ( 0-6, not the skipper of a ship ) to be fully trained. Dad served not only on Navy promotion boards but also on other branch's as in some cases, he was the senior enlisted person of all branches at that base. And served on other boards of other branches of the military.
And the narrator made the major error on all rates at or above the rate of Chief Petty Officer 3rd Class. It is "Foul Anchor" and not "Fouled Anchor". And depending on when the insignia was made and the company, it could either have it as rope or chain wrapped around the anchor.
t would have been helpful to indicate how long (roughly) a guy needs to server in each rate before moving up.
Here's a bit of trivia. It's my understanding that Marine Corps Staff Sgts. generally don't like serving on Navy ships. This is because in the Marine Corps, an E-6 is a staff NCO and gets certain privileges like better housing. But onboard a Navy ship, and E-6 is just a Petty Officer 1st Class and not a staff NCO so they don't get the same special privileges as they would on a Marine Base.
I was a Seabee and spent a great deal of time serving with the Marines. I would never disrespect a Marine by calling him a PO1. He is a Marine Corps Staff Sargent
It's not an eagle, it's a crow.

Admiral Dewey was a 5th FADM.
The star and the fouled anchor on the shoulder boards indicates a line officer. Other devices are used for medical, legal, chaplain, etc.
I'm an Army Vet, and Navy ranks always confused the hell out of me.
That is until the show JAG came on the air. And I learned the Navy ranks pretty darn quick. Sad but true.😮😮😂😂🤣🤣🫡🫡🫡
In the military you have to be versatile. At any given time (especially in war) you may be called upon to fill any roll, regardless of your rank/rate or specific training. Sometimes you may have to take on a position without any training or guidance whatsoever. And, you are expected to make it happen! By God, we Absolutely make it happen! Blind relief, Baby!!!
You can talk up the skills and knowledge of the W.O., but the fact remains that a boot ensign, is still above the experienced W.O., and that really sucks.
Yeah... Well... Depends on how you define "above". If an ensign so much as forces a W.O. to salute them, they can kiss their ass goodbye. No commanding officer worth a damn would ever tolerate having a boot ensign fuck with W.O.s.
@@VSX66 or CPOs.
Back in the day at SSC Glakes I saw two full Lts get their ass handed to them with an explanation of if The school can teach an E2 to do it correctly, than you two officers better learn to listen to the instructors (E6 and E7) because of the fact that you 2 are students, therefore the lowly instructors are superior to you 2 primadonas.
Yes I was in the Navy 1967-1971 and you were a seaman recruit in boot camp I was a RD2 when I left the Navy and served on 2 WWI destroyer s
I doubt there were 4 stackers in 67......... Fletcher class yes, WW1 no.
I remember that my brother was a Chief Petty Officer by the time he left the Navy. That was I believe around when he was in for 15 years. After that much time I would have made it a full career.
In the video, it shows an ICSN? manning the rails at the 2:48 mark. When did this rating change from engineering? On a different note, I do like the piping added to the dress whites.
There are numerous errors in this video. Whoever made it clearly doesn't know what they are talking about hasn't performed even basic research. E.g. the Navy was formed by congress not General Washington, numerous erroneous references to rate when they should be referencing rank, complete misunderstanding of the difference between rate and rank and the basic organization of the Navy enlisted ranks, etc. In short, this video is a complete waste of time.
I concur. A lot misinformation, missing information, or inconsistencies.
Thanks to all the Men and Women for their service and for the ones who made the ultimate sacrifice you shall never be forgotten RIP
Interesting. According to information that I have received, President Carter's TOS officially started in 1946, and he was at Annapolis during WW2. I also recall E1 were single stripes, with promotion to at least E2 upon graduation from Basic Training, aka Boot Camp. Of course, some of this was ages ago, too.
Graduated boot camp in January, can confirm that E1 doesn't have an insignia
@@colinscherer7212 E-1's were one stripers when I served (early 60's).
1975, E1 had one stripe, but no one stayed at E1 after boot camp.
Dad graduated boot camp Dec 6th, 1946. He was considered a WWII vet as the war was not officially over till Dec 31, 1946. Dad got chewed out after an inspection for not wearing that ribbon as he felt he did not deserve it. The CO: "The President ( Truman ) said you did, the Navy says you did, and I say you did. So next inspection you will wear it or you will be out of uniform."
E-1s actually were single stripe even in 1979, just didn't see those on the uniforms then. Auto promote to E-2 on graduation from Boot Camp.
i remember then calling out for "Seaman Stains" while i was in sick call once. lol, what an unfortunate name
Hope he made it out of that
I went to BEE (Basic Electricity and Electronics) in San Diego, and there was a Seaman Swim, which isn't so bad, but there was also a Seaman with the last name Swallow. I think he had some added incentive to make PO3.
@@BruceLowry he was probably the most popular dude under way, that swallow guy
Lyndon Johnson was a Lieutenant Commander in the Naval Reserve, not in the regular United States Navy.
I joined in79 I met my lieutenant Bradford he was a real officer and man very much respect
My uncle was Rear Admiral George McFadden O'Rear who commanded the USS Arkansas Battleship and the fleet at the Battle of Iwo Jima in WW2.
Rear admiral upper or lower half?
@@Puggy42069 in WWII, there was no upper or lower. What they term as lower half now was known as Commodore.
@@geoffreywood5808 Neat. Thank you.
United States Army was created on June 3, 1784. United States Navy was created on October 13, 1775. The Continental Army of George Washington was disbanded in 1783 AFTER the treaty of Paris. The Continental Army and the US Army are separate entities. Also, the USN is the ONLY military of the US that was created within the Constitution.
YN2(SS) 1970-1976 Diesel and Nuke Qualified.
Kewl. I particularly liked the Aussie accent voice over!
Grandpa made it to e8 and was happy at san diego but found out if he actually went through with getting his e9 rank he would have had to move. His time was up around this time and everyone was expecting him to re-enlist but he gave the deuces and got the fuck outta there
Made it to 1st Class Petty Officer in 4 years 11 months. Needed 12 months to sew it on and I had 23 months left of a 6 year enlistment.
Had 13 months left… not 23. Damn keyboard
Now I can see
The rank junior lieutenant is my rank for my uniform logo as well😮😂 2:22
No I was on a Sumner class destroyer and our captain on the USS O'brien DD 725 sorry WWll and made Captain + he was a mustang served his early years as a petty officer
Sumner class destroyer. My brother was aboard the USS Allen M. Sumner DD 692. From 1960/1964, out of MayPort Jacksonville Florida. I remember going up on weekends to pick him up and we would get to eat lunch aboard ship. I remember going through the line with my brother and a couple other guys if he knew and I asked the guys. I don’t know why you guys hate this food so much it’s the same stuff they service in elementary school. And I made a comment only there, I have to pay $.65 for my lunch. Later that day, my brother was able to arrange a tour on the other side of Mayport aboard, the USS, Shangri-La, the aircraft carrier was in port.
Thanks for your info and I was on the USS Sumner DD 692 from May 1969-March 1971
My Dad and grandfather were in the Navy in WWII and WWI
Check President Carter's WWII service.
use to get seaman apprentice E-2 when you completed boot camp, guess its different now
Not everyone. Most left boot as E1... what you left at boot (RATE) depended upon what you did prior to military service, college, and what was written in your contract.
@@peanuts556 I was an E3 out of boot camp . I was a Fire control missle Tech.
For the stars in the CPO insignia, is there a reason why the stars are upside down? Any significance of that?
There’s mixed sea stories of why but honestly it just comes down to it was the best way to attach them.
My dad retired as chief in 97
These people don’t know they are talking about
AMH4 here and Rh-53d aircrewman.
Best career decision i made. Rank is easier to understand. Ensign, tribble, plebes?, I prefer cruit, maggott, lowest form of life, as learning how to build yourself as a soldier with a guaranteed future in THE U.S. Army. Civilian life will be easy after the physical training and the Bust-ass-ness. Hopefully no substance problems.
AT1(AW/SW) USN ret. 1977-1997
God bless they US navy, thanks for the liberty that enjoy the world at cost tour sacrifice
@@rockwellrhodes7703 My English is very Bad, i say thanks at USA because i study your history and believe is our guide. The world hate this like a son teen at your father.
I am a lawyer 63 years old
Interesting. Did not know the rank of COMMODORE was discontinued.
Back in the day, if you went to ATD as an E-1, you got an anchor, at E-2 it became an anchor and two stripes. The anchor was for seaman ATD. I can't recall what airmen and firemen got.
What is ATD? In aviation we were called airmen and we we had green strips for E-1 thru E-3. I was an AX2 after 2 1/2 years. They don’t even have that rating anymore. It’s just an AT that maintains electronics for antisubmarine warfare. I was in a Patrol Squadron 50 years ago.
@@Chris_at_Home Apprenticeship Training Division. Ran about 4 or 5 weeks, then out to the fleet. For seaman, you learned the finer points of stripping and waxing, with a bit of painting tossed in for good measure. It was my understanding Firemen and Airmen had the same kind of deal if they didn't have an "A" school or rocked out of one. I could be wrong, it has been about 40 years. 😂
@@tstahler5420 Ok , I just never heard of it. Between boot camp, Avionics A School and C schools on P3s I was in the Navy a year and a day before I made it to the squadron,then a month later I was back in school. I was stationed out of NAS Brunswick Maine but went to Sicily, Rota, Azores and around South America. I was a ground pounder, but went on most of the detachments where they send a few planes to another base for one reason or another. South America was fun being 20 and getting per diem and staying in hotels for 3 1/2 months. 10 days right on Cocoa Cabana Strip in Rio when I was 20 was fun.
@@tstahler5420 Airmen get an anchor in a circle with wings.
Firemen got red stripes.
Minor correction we don’t call it a perched eagle only captains 0-6 where’s an eagle (a silver spread eagle) us petty officers wear a crow. Also it’s command master chief, then fleet/force master chief then its MCPON
It is called a crow slangily, but it is an eagle.
Or none of that before 1967. But back then there also was a Leading Chief.
What about the rest of them?
Dios Bendiga atodos los us Navi
Thank you for your service time
I always thought that Carter was only in the Korean War. also, How do you address a Warrant officer?
Don’t know about all of them. We addressed ours as Bosun P. He addressed us all as assholes.
Warrant or Chief Warrant
How about SIR. They definitely earned the respect back in the day.

I'm a Navy veteran. When I was in the Navy, there were an insignia for E-1. Seaman Recruit had one stripe. This is what happens when civilians who were never been in the military do these videos. They have no idea what they are talking about.
I was in 76-80 and E-1's didn't wear a stripe. I know what I'm talking about.
@@bobk4438 You know what? You're right. My memory was messed up. I was thinking about the rates' insignias. MM, BM, SK, AK, AB, MS, E1s wore them, not the stripe.
@@arnoldhenry - So....this is what happens when vets, who were in the military, respond to these videos?
Respect for admitting you were wrong.
AMEN to that Mr.Henry..I'm also a Retired Seadog put in 20+ years & got to Chief Petty Officer
For my grandfather it was just a stripe around the shoulder seam. But that was the 40s,and he came out Master Chief
I met this sailor with a gold 3 stripe seaman rank...his hash marks on his right sleeve were 8 gold ...this guy was given more respect than a senior chief.. I talked to him..an old guy...
@@de7073 you won't be awarded "gold" (good conduct) hash marks if you have been busted down by court martial.
That's BS. No E3 will ever have 8 gold hash marks....

@@peanuts556 well its been a while since i was in the navy @39 yrs, so i forgot some of the terms. i was the head mess deck master at arms for 3 months. i was sent there after my court marshall , didnt get a reduce in rate or pay cut , just got extra duty and sent to the mess decks, even volunteered to stay longer on the mess decks after my term was up. i never had to stand watch, got liberty every night, while in port.
@@dennismckown4951 Yeah, its only been 28 years since I retired from the Navy, but I am also the historian of my training base. So things I forgot (or chose to forget) have been coming back during my research! lol! And with Orlando being a former ARMY AIR FORCE base prior to becoming Navy, they used a lot of Army terminology (mostly by the civilians)! And nothing irks me more than to hear someone call a SAILOR a SOLDIER! Well, looks like you made out with Mess Deck duties! ;)
@@peanuts556 i went to boot camp in San Diego, but i read where the only boot camp now, is in Michigan. if i remember right, use to be 2 bases, one on the west coast and one on the east. now they just have one? must be a very large base to handle all the new recruits.
@@dennismckown4951 Great Lakes is the only one now, but also the original... SD opened in 1923, GLs in 1911, and Orl in 1968. Orl closed in 1994 (last graduating recruit class but base was officially locked in 1999.) SDs last class was 1993. About July/August of 1994 females were sent to GLs. Last females to graduate Orl was Oct 1994. Last males was Dec 1994. GLs also had female recruits there in the 40s and 50s. Females had trained at Hunter College, then GLs (there is another place also before GLs, but the name escapes me. One of my shipmates, his wife's mother went there and will bring her company book to our next reunion for me to scan). After GLs, females went to Bainbridge and in 1972, to Orlando. There have been several training camps (upstate NY, Sanford Fla, Norfolk VA to name a couple). It was to fit the needs of the Navy. At our last reunion, I scanned the LAST PASS IN REVIEW for SD someone had. I may add what info I have for GLs and SD on my webpage, but for now, it's all about NTC/RTC Orlando. BTW: I checked an aerial view and saw the barracks my daughter went through, those were torn down. GLs once again, moved the Recruit side of the base.
They made order to get promoted
When I joined in 1969 you came in as E1 sailor took test to become
E2 for your job title E2 1st class
Petty Officers each class pass test go up in rank
You can take the petty officer test, but depending on the rate, you can always get the morale busting 'passed but not advanced' score. Some rates were so tight that someone had to die or retire to make rate. Other rates were so wide open all a person had to do was to fog a mirror to get promoted.
Hallelujah, I've reacted to a number of these types of videos, and this is the first video of this type that understood that Navy enlisted are broken into "rates," not ranks. However, the video missed the mark for warrant and commissioned officers as what was referred to as "ranks" are actually "grades." "Rank" only exists within a grade, i.e., a Commander (O-5) who is promoted to that grade before all other Commanders "outranks" them.
"Ranks" is used for commissioned officers on official US government websites. Should we poor civilians presume to know more about the system than the Department of the Navy?
Ratings in the Navy are your job. Ranks are third class, second class, etc. Pay rate is E-4, E-5, etc
Retired Master Chief here. My rate is AW. My pay rate is E-9. My rank is Master Chief
its both you would call a sailor as both his rank and rate. Ex:BM1, ITS3, LSC
@@jwoo1800 When did you retire? Master Chief was your title and not your rank. Because you were not an Officer. Even E-9s were rates. Ratings were what your specialty was ( MOS in the other services ). Dad was a Master Chief, CTMCM to be exact.
CWO2-5 are commissioned officers
The W in CWO is for "Warrant".
Are Senior Chief Petty officers on the fleet?
Yes, and every command should have a Master Chief PO of the command. On some smaller commands a Senior chief may fill that roll.
@@whirledpeaz5758Thanks. I asked cause one of my characters of my series, (the youngest sister of four) is a Senior Chief Petty Officer).
@@whirledpeaz5758 All depended on when they served as the CMDCM did not exist before 1985. And a Senior Chief could be even filling an Officer's billet.
Rates for USN, ranks for other forces.
If you're asking for a video featuring USN Rates and videos for Ranks of other Forces in the USM and other militaries, there are videos up, but if you were trying to say that the USN calls Ranks "Rates", they don't. Ranks are ranks still, but Rates are MOS, like ITS (Information Technician - Submarines), FC (Fire Control/Command), MM (Machinist's Mate), BM (Boatswain's Mate). You can still ask a sailor "What's your MOS" and they'll understand, but Sailors would ask each other "Yo, what Rate are you?" or even go around that and ask "What's your A-School? / What A-School did you attend?".
@@DevCav That's not right. Enlisted men have rates, only officers have ranks. Rate = "rank". Rating = "job". Most sailors refer to rating as "rate", but this is actually incorrect. Seaman, Airman Apprentice, and Petty Officer 2nd Class are "rates". Electrician's Mate, Machinist's Mate, Electronics Technician are all "ratings". Ensign, Lieutenant Commander, Captain, these are all "ranks".
Or we could just look at the patch on their dress uniform.
@@seancornell1263 Petty Officer and Chief Petty Officer are also ranks.
@@Riceball01 They are NOT... they are RATES.

Rank of Commodore went out of existence in 1950 when the last one retired. It was confusing to give a star rank to someone not called Admiral. Army Air Force and Marines call their one star ranks Brigadier General.
Commodore is now a title for people in command of a squadron. We also use captain as a title as well. I was part of submarine squadron 6. The commander of that squadron at the time was a Captain. We called him "commodore". The commander of my submarine held the rank of Commander. It's customary to call him captain.
@@HowieIsaacks Thanks for that info. I only meant that the “rank” of Commodore was discontinued in 1950. As you say the “title” still exists in a looser sense just as the skipper of a ship is frequently called “captain” even if he or she does not officially hold that rank.
Commodore is also an honorary title given to a Captain traveling on a ship but is not in the direct line of command. Temporary “bump” up (NEVER down) to avoid confusion.
There were Commodores when I was in ...1979-1985...they were changed around that time..

Really? No rating exam for 3rd class Petty Officer? That sounds odd.
Yes, it does sound odd
Promotion to E-4 does not require testing in any branch.
It used to.
I’m in the Navy the ranks are the worst between e-4 to e-6 how tf am I supposed to know what everyone jobs are.
Study. And look at their ratings. And you need to correct your terminology as if you are in the Navy, it is Rates of E-1 to E-9, not ranks. That is Officer's territory.

E-4 thru E-9 are all considered "no commissioned officers". Also, at least back in the 1970's when I was in the Navy, (10 years), E7 thru E9 were appointed by Congress just like Officers.
I didn’t know that, my late brother was a Chief on submarines. He made E-7 in 8 years. I was an AX2 when I got out. I never went on a ship except in port. I flew over a bunch though.
Still are. Captains can’t bust them down at mast because of it.
That has never been true
Depends on the service...
E-4s in the Air Force are not non-commissioned officers since Sergeants no longer exist in the Air Force. I was a Senior Airman, then a "Buck Sergeant" before I became a Staff Sergeant.
E-4 through E-9 are non-commissioned officers (NCOs), and they're not appointed by Congress! E-7 through E-9 are selected by a NavPers selection board, not Congress. CWO4 USN Ret.

Right? Just like SAILORS do not understand the difference between ENLISTED RATE AND RATINGS and OFFICERS RANKS.
Not everyone has been enlisted 😂🤣🦑
@@foylebutler8952 Wrong. Rate refers to pay grades. Ratings refer to specialty. Rank is Officers territory. For dad's last one it was CTMCM. Communications Technician Maintenance Chief Master, an E-9. The Navy also broke down the specialties as to what Branch. In his case there were: A Branch, I Branch, M Branch, O Branch, R Branch, and T Branch. N Branch came later. Or before they broke the branches down, his was: CTCM Communications Technician Chief Master.
I always thought Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy was E-10.
@@jerryinsc Yeah I just found my old Bluejackets manual and there’s nothing about an E-10 for MCPON.
Still an E9, with more seniority than any other E9 in the Navy.
And when you finish the job as MCPON, you are forced retired.
@@tomasthomas8563 Did not use to be that way. You just went back to your old rating after your tour as MCPON if you still were in.

I remember one time a marine vet said to me that the marines existed before the navy because they had to guard the boats being built
We might want to refer to John Paul Jones as to the beginning of The U.S. Marines. A😮 Sailors job is to run the ship all the time. A few select sailors were reserved in battle to handle the cannons. The Marines were required for battle on deck when confronting enemy fighters from an enemy ship. Mostly hand to hand combat. While the sailors ran the ship. The U.S. Marines aboard Sailing Ships were a very tough lot. They had to be stone cold killers. When John Paul Jones commanded the U.S. Navy. He did so as a decorated Ships Captain and as a fleet admiral. Admiral Jones knew shipboard combat intimately. Fighting aboard a ship is primarily hand to hand. The rifles and pistols at the time were flint lock firearms. That required a lengthy process to reload. Thus making it impossible to reload in hand to hand combat which was conducted with swords, knives and blunt devices. So you see a wooden sailing that's a ship of a military purpose had to have dedicated fighting men. Every ship of this era had these dedicated fighting men on board their ships. Including the VOC The Dutch East Indias Trading company which had its own standing Military incorporated into its Trading Ships. The Dutch were so good at defending themselves. They even took on the British Navy twice and defeated them. John Paul Jones studied the Dutch VOC.
The US Navy is a good study. Well worth a persuit. The U.S. Marines still maintain tge8rvrelationship with the Navy. But since WWII Theri mission has changed to a Seaborn Army.
Marines are part of the Dept of the Navy and even the most senior Marine officers report to the Secretary of the Navy. IOW, there IS no "Secretary of the Marines", a fact they can't STAND to admit. 😂
Grunt humor...

Pretty sure that's a Kiwi or maybe Aussie tbf

You forgot "Sister" and "Drag Queen"
Navy needs to get with it and along with all the other branches of the military..and all chamge their ranks to be the same uniform as the Army
I served 22 years and did just fine in the long established rate/rank structure, including serving alongside my Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps Brothers and Sisters in the air (airborne), field, ashore, and at sea. Oddly, I never heard any of them say that we need to "get with it" and change our rank structure because it was different than theirs.
That will never happen. There is a lot of honored tradition with the Navy and the Marines. You will just to learn the ranks.
@@francisvantuyle Navy Enlisted = rates, Navy Officers = Ranks, when talking about pay grades.
The Navy is not the second oldest branch ... that would be the US Marine Corp. Do your homework.
their literally false the continental marines were made after continental navy and the us marines were after us navy
Actually the Marine Corps was established before the Navy
@@frankdd987 nope right after the Navy, with the express job of defending against boarding parties, and comprising boarding parties against enemy ships/installations.
Semen.... lol
Actually kid it's seaman, airman or fireman.
Yeah,Yeah, Thanks ,Butthead.........Fire!........
The navy ranks fill me with pure rage. It's so infuriating how over dramatic the ranks are. 😂
Did you ever serve your country in the military?? Young men 17-18 yrs old learn the rank structure quite quickly because they are told to do it!! As a Navy Doctor who requested duty with the Marines, I learned their M.C. ranks in an hour or so! From the tenor of your comment, I would seriously suggest you get yourself into therapy/counseling ASAP
@@RonaldMayDMD-nt3fd Thank you for serving. Although there is something I learned to dislike about Navy Doctors and Corpsmen. You never want to hear them say: "Roll up your sleeves and drop you pants." It means you are not going to be comfortable sleeping that night or maybe even a few days. My yellow shot record books attest to that. Some of the shots we had back in the 50s-70s just plain hurt even if given correctly.
Too hard make rank, give pay increase, too many uniforms especially. Whites, need army type ,not marine which is rediclous
What d'you mean?
@@schrader3393I think he is saying he was a failure in the Navy.
Worst military in the world 😂
Today it is but not when we served. It's a joke today I agree with you. They're using pronouns and birthing persons. You're a birthing person your mom sent you a letter? No a birthing person sent you a letter.😂
Nope, the worst is the rrrrrrruzzian mil
