    When I was in the Navy back in the late 1980's, I was an OS onboard an LPH , which was replaced by the LHD's. when we was underway and was on Port and Starboard watches, we had some personal off the watchbill to do cleaning and such. When we was in 3 section duties, the morning watches had become working section that afternoon and that afternoon watch had morning working section. We generally had watches from chow to chow, except that that eventually the 4 watches that was 5 hours and one 4 hour watch (22:00-0200). In port, when I first reported onboard, our schedule was similar to how you destribe it. When my first LCPO got his Commission as a Warrent Officer, the new LCPO, who actually make Chief onboard got tired of other Chiefs decided to have us go on liberty at 14:30. When we got a new XO , the XO was worried about the Internal Survey that was coming up and we had to stay onboard until 16:30 we kept it until I got out of the Navy.

They all had smiles & different prospectives and are dedicated. Tell them all that this US citizen thanks them for their service & the United States is safer each day because of their presence. My dad was in the Navy in WWII & my nephew just retired after close to 25 years from being with the Nuclear sub program & was a Mustang (enlisted to officer). I am officially “older then dirt”.

    The Navy sure has changed since I was in. I started out on the deck force in 1965. A month later I was asked to join the guys in CIC. We were called Radarman back then. We stood 2 and 3 section watches (4 hours each). The only free time we had was from 1600 to 0700. When we weren't on watch we were cleaning. chipping paint and painting the spaces we were responsible for. We never could leave the ship early. Liberty Call was at 1600. Underway was the same. I never got to go to A school but did get to E5. We had SPS 10 surface search radar. SPS 37 air search radar. SPS 8 height finder radar and an ECM equipment setup. On watch we rotated every hour to a different station. We had a DRT and manuevering board to plot contacts and the log book of course. We were also the sound powered phone talker on the bridge as part of our rotation. It was a different time but the day I Turned 17 I was in Bootcamp.@ $66 a month and would do it again if they would take me. I served on the USS Duncan DDR 874 from 11/65 until 7/69. Homeport was San Diego. I did 3 trips to Viet Nam on her and got to witness Appollo 10 come back from going around the moon. .Good luck with your Navy career. Stay Safe.

    We never got that much time off during the week when stateside, unless we were in the yards. The XO would inspect the berthing compartments and heads around 1500 every day so those cleaning crews had to stick around for that. Plus we had exterior spaces assigned to OI Division so there as always some chipping and painting that needed to be done on those. I was lucky enough to be POIC for CIC so all we had to do was a quick sweep and swab each morning and some light dusting. This was '75-'80 on a tin can so take that for what it's worth. We had NTDS Mod. 4 and there were video game programs we could load on the computers and play them on the consoles. They were much more advanced than the ones in the arcade and the duty section would stay up all night playing them sometimes.

    I am OS1 but in the Reserve,(riverine/supply side of the house) I applied to Os or AT, but I am a bit unconfident since I lack many skills that are learned out to sea, specifically DDGs. And I don't get choose my next station lol, but a good thing is Os are used in everything in the Navy. Os is a good rate, received lots of respect from officers, and they trust your judgment if you have a decent one, even as a junior sailor. One last thing, this is a sea type work, so everyone will expect you to be out to sea, and that's what breaks most people!

    22 years USN retired OS1, I was a qualified CICWO. I also was PIRAZ during the Iran crisis. I was LPO of a 40 man OI division. We always stood port and starboard watches, I did most my sea duty on tin can type ships, one cruiser and one amphib. I was in when you looked like sailors, talked like sailors, and went on liberty like sailors. I guess you could say I'm an old Salt and of course a Golden Shellback.

    I was a Marine Corps Mortarman and if I could do it all again I would have joined the Navy and pushed to be either a CT or OS. It pisses me off how back in 2011 we didn't have all this information on KZread and Reddit so you could know everything there is to know about every job. Edit: I could see that I'm not the only one who would do things differently with their enlistment. Maybe if I actually got to be an OS I would still want to do things differently. That girl who wants to be an accountant actually has a rating that translates well into accounting in my opinion, I know that since I'm a CPA. If you're still in touch with her you could send her my way and I'll guide her.

    Great content. I'll be going to meps on March 30th. I got the ASVAB score for the OS Rate however I'm not a US citizen. I was just wondering if that will hinder from picking the rate.or have you seen non citizens recruits enlisting as an OS?

    I don’t think you can because you have to have a secret clearance to be an OS and non citizens cannot get a clearance , it could be different now but just ask your recruiter

    Cool video. I was an OS 89 to 94. Was on the USS Thorn DD988. See you’re from Dallas, I’m in Rockwall and I’m also a Pisces. Lots of rates don’t like OS because they don’t do anything in port. So, I was a JOTS operator back in the day. What do they have now?

    Way to break the rate down and get feedback from your division. I'm a retired OSC(SW), and my advice to all who are bored waiting is to find a good book and learn something during those times when you are slow. When you get out of the Navy, and you have good habits of doing something like learning (anything, even when you don't feel like it), it will help with any career, or skill you want or need. The perspective of boredom is a choice, and being useful in any scenario breaks you away from the lemmings, aka followers.

    If you’re thinking of being an OS in the Navy just join the Coast Guard 👀. This isn’t a rag on the navy just tryna help someone out. There’s a 50k bonus to go OS in the CG. You’ll make E5 super fast, same schedule underway/job that she’s speaking of. You’ll do all she said plus more. You can work outside the shop as well. There’s OSs who are helicopter tie down members, boarding team member, and more. You can get all the same quals. I’ve gone to the Navy ADC course, SLQ 32 operations course, Surface EW journeyman course, EW threat rec, AN/SSX, plus more. And at every school i go to with the navy. Let me tell you they all say the same thing “dang I wish I woulda known about the CG before I joined” just saying 🤷🏽‍♂️. Again this isn’t a diss on the Navy she seems extremely happy with her job and I’m sure tons are. Just know there are options to this same job outside the Navy.
