Great job 👍👍👍! My dad was a Boatswain (1946-1969 United States Merchant Marines). Served as a S1C US Navy during WW2.

Good job!!! I bet those with negative comments never even seen a ship. I'm a veteran and you brought me back to the ship lol.

I was a BM on the uss tarawa, and uss mount Vernon, both ship were amphibs. This was the best time of my life, remember these days, have pride, God bless ya and thank you for your service and also keeping the oldest rate in the us navy alive.

I am ex Navy USS Independence CV-62. You made an INCREDIBLE video! Thank you for helping countless seamen in the future to understand the US Navy! Anchors Away!

The job of a BMSN is yeah sure at first painting and sanding. But we are a sea rate so our job is not really exciting until you go out to sea. The helm and lee helm thats your job. I am on a carrier, actually this very same carrier and the now BM2 Anderson. And we rotate in watch. Helm, Lee helm, Forward lookout, Aft lookout, port/stbd life bouy, and port/stbd aft steering. If your just starting out at your first command you are going to have a lot of studying to do. Getting your quals!

Hooyah Boats!! Great video and love to see the new Navy haze gray and underway... BM1/DV Hughes 79 -87!

Fascinating and great job of demonstrating the Call/Pipe in contemporary service on board a working vessel. Maybe you might advise me, in reading various manuals on the Pipe, some seem to say close fingers for a high note; but some videos seem to show fingers open for the high note - the latter work better for me, but not sure if I am getting misunderstanding something.

that was very interesting. iam glad that some traditions are still in use.

Nice BM3, on the Connie we had a BM that was like Fog Horn-Leg Horn from the cartoons. LOL it was fun. Thanks for the post CVN-70. God bless the crew.

She is awesome! Carry on!

I was a qualified BMOW the day I put on my crow at 18. I never needed any script. I knew them all. Even General Quarters and Oscar. Qualified master helmsman. My longest time at the helm was 9 hours hooked up to the USS Nimitz. The 1MC hasn’t changed one bit. Good times!

As a hull Tech i use to tune the pipe for the guts I liked in Deck . I would braze the pipe tighter and part of the top of the bowl. I was giving a pipe from Deck and the rest of the crew was AMAZED that the BMOTW had so much lung power. I still had to learn the knots. figure 8. mast head , square knots and clove hitch to win them over...I was a HT!!! the whole ship was tight except the officers.

@josephwonderless1258

5 жыл бұрын

The only knot I knew was the square knot that I learned in boot camp. Expect that I was a RM3 while on board the Enterprise. Plus the GQ gong sounded SICK, and the BM use to sing This is a drill, this is a drill, General Quarters, General Quarters , all hands man your battle station. Then we heard the Gong, Gong,Gong,Gong,then it repeated.

Love it!

@USS Carl Vinson can you show what general quarters on an aircraft carrier is like?

I retired with 21 years in the Navy as a BMC. I always felt that the Bos'n pipe need not be used for every announcement over the 1MC. The primary reason for using the Bos'n pipe is to "get the attention" of the crew for something important about to happen. The overuse just to announce sweepers was one example of overuse. Over time the crew will just tune out the announcements because each becomes just noise. When a pipe call is sounded, one wants all to listen to what is going to be announced.

Well I'm about to join the navy, just waiting to go to MEPS. This is one of the rates I'm thinking about getting. Still can't decide between bosun, i.t. or ao. I'm leaning towards bosun

I was a BM in the Coast guard aboard the Campbell and the chase 73 to 77

Outstanding job boats

She did a great job.

That bell looked way better back then than it does now. My deck department sucks.

She seems super cool

For the most part yes we do paint a lot when we are inport but all commands are different. On a carrier there is not a lot of work for us to do as boatswains mate. Small boys are the best you do more of your job. I have a lot of buddies on a small boy and they love it.

You have to serve 5 years active duty but including an extra 3(inactive years so no affiliation with the navy) for when you get out.

I'm miss my crewmates and the overall daily life of underway.

The boatswain's pipe is properly called a boatswain's "call." OR pipe; never a whistle, as she explains. Go, Navy!

Soulds like the Captain Crunch whistle. It might be useful for phone phrraking. Cappy Dick does not know about this.

The USS Vinson is Nimitz Class NUCLEAR powered ship. I take issue with a BM saying their work area is the most professional place on the ship. Obviously has no clue what the Nuke down below are doing. That is where the true professionalism is on a carrier, in the Reactor/Engineering spaces, and also on the flight deck. A lack of professionalism in either space could have severe to grave consequences.

I'd have to agree with kristov29. This young lady (BM3) speaks too fast and unclear. I spent many a night aboard the Chucky V during the 80's and if the Bosun spoke like her back then. G.D. O'Brien and the Gator would have bounced them off the bridge themselves.
