    I served in the 90's. On board 2 different ships... Thank God our berthing area's never looked this bad.... Who ever was is in command on this ship should have been relieved. Absolutely disgusting. We never left shit laying around whether we were at sea or in port. All our racks were made and if a toilet was clogged it was roped off and it was fixed/repaired/unclogged same day. Poor leadership on-board that ship bro.

    Things have changed...I never seen our heads dirty because we had compartment cleaners (E1-E3) who also took care of the head. My ship was commissioned in 1941 and decom'ed in 1991. I was on it from 1972-1977...When I first reported aboard I had to sleep in a sky rack WWII style with canvas bottom and a thin piece of foam rubber about 12' off the deck. The coffins were a little different but about the same and both was comfortable. There was no curtains and there was a piece of metal sheeting full of holes about 1/4" that separated you from your neighbor. The other thing I noticed was regular doors. Most of ours were watertight..Thanks Shipmate for the look inside.

I never had a backed-up toilet or a spunky moldy shower... the birthing area was shipshape also oh... and I had no watches out to sea which was great everybody called me clean CleanTreen and occasionally called me latrine and every time we pull into port in Norfolk I would get out on parole and stay at an Hotel on the weekends... I just did my time and got out... Good and bad times

      Thank you for your service shipmate. I'm a retired Chief Boatswains Mate. I would not ever allow my sailors to live in those conditions. I was in their berthing compartments everyday making sure the heads and berthing area was immaculate. If there was a stopped up, Toilet I'd have my engineering chief counterparts getting it straight. As far as cleanliness, my sailors were responsible for that and I ensured those heads and showers remained spotless. How could your XO allow those conditions. I think the Navy of today is not the same Navy I served. Your Chief should have been demoted!

Food services such as cooks, bakers, and such, Electricians, Gunners, weapons, radar, Laundrymen, Communications, Medical, Engineers, Engine, Boatswains mates, clerks, Payroll, and many more, Navy ships for the most part are self sufficient and are like a town or city, Most jobs run 24 hours a day, (not all) and some sleep while others work, there is always, chipping, painting, basic repair and preventive maintenance going on....Plus ontop of that when at sea, we stood watch besides our regular jobs.

  • @johnoconnor6356
    @johnoconnor6356 Před 6 měsíci +1

    There are pros and cons when it comes to joining the Navy. When one goes into a Navy recruiters office for the first time, the recruiter will mainly tell you the pros, and try to avoid telling you the cons as much as possible. But some recruiters might caution you if you get too excited. Having been in the Navy myself, I learned of what it may be that might drive some to go UA, or as far as suicide. Working hours on a Navy ship can be extremely long, especially when you are out at sea, or as some call it, under way. A lot of brochures may tell you that you can puck any job you want, but the guarantee is the technical, or "A" school that might train you for that job, but once you finish your school, you may end up wherever they need you, which could be a totally different job, one that you might really hate, and although most sailors do get to jot down their choices of where they would like to be stationed on a "Dream Sheet", very few might be lucky enough to get one of their choices, but again, most will be sent to wherever they are needed, even if it was not one of the choices they put on their Dream Sheet.

      With jobs, do the job that you’d like to do so if you like cooking, be a cs, everyone recommends you do a job that can transfer over in the civilian world, but if you’re miserable doing it then it doesn’t matter what job transfers in the civilian world, for example ht can be plumbers when they get out, but if you hate cleaning crap, then why would you want to be a plumber in the civilian world? Hm don’t transfer over in the civilian world, I had to go to school to get my nursing degree after I got out, but I loved being an hm.

Also, don’t make your supervisor look good, make yourself look good in front of your supervisor.
