Soooo, I’ve been getting recognition from my command, a few people in the base I’m currently at and a few people from the USS Vinson. It’s just wild that a simple video can really affect how people can see the boat life. I just made this video just so people need what to do when it comes to entertainment on the ship but the fact that I got recognized just blows my mind. For the people that watched this video and mentioned this in person to me. Thank you.

@@elijahbaker6196 They get better food than the enlisted side. The main galley usually have premade food which pretty much okay but not the best. Then the CS’s in the wardroom/officers galley take their time to make food better.

@@ChaiRockyy I gotcha. I'm still pretty torn between surface warfare and aviation before I talk to a recruiter on what my options are. I have the ability to play in college but right now I'm split between playing at the navy prep school and then going to usna or going to norwich for a year and then either transferring and redshirting or just sticking at norwich for my bachelors.

Definitely sending my boyfriend a switch when he’s goes to navy school at least we both have something to play together while he’s away.

I served aboard the USS Bryce Canyon, AD36, from ‘66-‘68 as an HM3. Our only entertainment when underway was a nightly movie, reading or playing cards. The ship didn’t even have AC that I can recall.

Chai, after seeing this post all I can say is count your privileged blessings. I went to sea 60 years ago on a WWII era Sumner class Destroyer and life at sea was much different and I think so were the Sailors.

This was a fun video thank you

nice video...so now we know..cant wait for another

Good to know about the wired headphones. I didn’t know that.

I'm going in as NUPOC, still doing paperworks lol. So much work left to do. Wish me luck. Also great video!

how did you download your shows and movies to the hard drive? I also have a macbook pro and going on deployment next year on the USS Abraham Lincoln so I'm trynna prepare now lol btw I love your content!!!

Not a bad break down of being forward deployed... to A aircraft carrier, not same as being stationed State side/ but yes over seas to area that is A Aircraft command that has scheduled deployment requirement. which if I remember correctly is every other year. or 9m out / 9m in. I only been stationed States side. 20 years, 6 full 6 month deployments during my career to the med/gulf; and shore commands in D.C./ Florida. Internet At sea Sucks, Rank has it's best internet access. Or rate.. Hmm IT, But Spades is usually best form of passing time. Library is Nice as well. usually where most Blue shirts go to hide, very easily accessed from from flight deck. And Don't forget MWR, They provide many comforts to pass your time. And great cup coffee from Starbucks...

Very informative on entertainment, what about family, how do balance visiting family in the states?? Do you use like 2 weeks of the 30 days off a year for family and the rest for overseas?

When I was overseas in Japan the only time I use leave is when I went back to the states which was 18 days. I just go off base and visited Japan in the weekends without using leave days since the radius is 500 miles which is pretty much a big leave saver.

How many times does a navy ship stop at a port a month during a nine month deployment?

@ChaiRockyy

Жыл бұрын

Didn’t experience a 9 month deployment. Only 6 months. At the same time there is no specific answer on which ports you’re stopping at or how many ports your going to. It all depends on the plan you get from the chain of command. You could expect 5 ports or you can expect 1 fingers crossed. And to answer your other question you can use you command PO Box for mail no matter where you are. The time you will get mail is from razzes.
