    This is such a great documentary about the NAVY fleet. I was on the Nimitz during this time, I recognize a lot of people from this show. I feel everybody who is just getting out of NAVY bootcamp should watch this doc. It's very accurate!

    Brings back a lot memories!!!!! Arrived on the Nimitz in 1984 Newport News shipyard. Wasn't nervous because my brother was already onboard for a year.

    Nice to see the senior enlisted moving among/interacting with junior enlisted!

    I couldnt imagine spending 6 months to a year on a ship. I was on a cruise for a week and damn near wanted to beg to get off. Plus I dont know how a ship like this couldn't be overwhelmed like the hornet and franklin. And damn near the enterprise.

    When my ship went into dry dock, I was detached and sent to the signal tower in Long Beach Ca for the duration of repairs.

    I've always found it really weird/funny how everyone in the US navy and air force were so casual with one another when it comes to senior enlisted and officers. I spent 12 yrs in the US army (2000-2012) and I don't think I ever meet a sergeant major (same as master chief in the navy) being that nice lol. In the army if you are a private, specialist or even a Sgt you avoided senior NCO's like the plague lol. Also you better not let them see you not working because the next thing you know your team leader (E-5/Sgt) or squad leader (E-6/SSG) will be chewing your ass off wanting to know why you didn't get the hell out of sight or look busy when the SGM came around! I remember my days as a Sgt and SSG before I became a SFC, I would always tell my guess if they didn't have anything to do that they better either look busy or get the hell out sight!!! But anyone that has been in the army knows this lol.

      I grew up a Navy Brat but went Army when it was my turn. It’s an entirely different environment and may be difficult to wrap your head around ...
      Imagine this you have a Brigade size unit (6,500) on a portion of a base large enough for an entire division although about 1,000 of those soldiers are specialized and are permanently based elsewhere most of the time (your air wing) the rest of the base is divided up into smaller groups (the rest of the fleet) most of the time you have zero interaction with these people. But for 6-9 months every 2 years everyone goes on base, the gates are closed and them huge barriers are erected around every single group and communication between each groups is limited to only the command staffs via radio. Transportation between each unit is only achieved by roof top helicopters, resupply is only possible by helicopters or zip lines. Now consider that once every Seven years your unit is required to deactivate for an entire year while EVERYTHING is refurbished and rebuilt. Vehicles, barracks, weapons, even the beds you sleep on are taken apart, cleaned repaired, resurfaced, inspected and reassembled. And also imagine about once every 7 years you entire battalion is required to pick up everything and move to entire different base somewhere else in the county, if not an entirely different county. THATS the life of a carrier sailor and any sailor assigned to a ship and if you think that’s weird try imagine what the infantry version of working on a submarine might be like were you have a 18 day cycle and you have no idea if it’s sunny or dark outside. Taking all that into account it’s not surprising that the culture on a carrier or other vessel differs from a ground unit in the Army

      Depends on their Rate. I spent 8 years in the Navy. For the most part if their rate is medical/ dental they can be even keeled.
      Aircrew or aircraft jobs, laid back brown shoe navy baby! BM, GM, DC they are the bread and butter deck sailors. They make the boat go. And for the most part they can be cunts

    The on ship barbers while on deployment is that there sole job and focus? Or do they have responsibility for manning other area of the ship and responsibility.

    • @ianlally1354
      @ianlally1354 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ben Stockford they have other jobs. But they are the only ones allowed to cut hair. The barber shop isn't open all day everyday. They have specific hours.

  • @johndoe9450
    @johndoe9450 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Can anyone explain what "Mission" they are continuing while in dry dock that makes them have to live on a barge? Why dont the sailors that are not involved in the maintenance just go home or to another active ship?

    • @Nerval-kg9sm
      @Nerval-kg9sm 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      There are quite a few systems and functions that can't just be turned off, e.g. the reactor, the steam systems, electrical systems, security, etc. The ship also needs to maintain a certain level of operations, so that all those maintenance and remodeling people can work on the ship. Moreover, sailors can't just stop doing their jobs, and then hop on board and function effectively, when it goes out again. As for the other things, sailors can't deploy continuously; shore duty is important. They are the crew of the Nimitz, and there aren't 2000 empty billets on other ships. A ship's crew works on or around their ship, whether they are at sea or not.

      ***** Thank you for explaining. That made me a little wiser :)

    • @kristov29
      @kristov29 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Excellent explanation. I watched the entire series and while she sat in the dry dock, just THREE of the Nimitz crew landed billets on another aircraft carrier. Just like you said.

      actually no one lived on that barge! We only slept there during duty nights. any other night you went home or to your barracks, which is like a college dorm for bachelors

      When you ARE “ships company”, the ship IS your ‘home’. Carrier air wing personnel are the temps... that prior to, and after a cruise...”go home” to their land airbase & off base housings. Ea has their benes... as a squadon, our sleeping quarters was right under the #3 arresting wire... ‘Ships’ company had quieter, more remote locations.

    We do have money,that is why we have 11 of the 21 aircraft carriers in the world.

    Hope your career turned out ok, should of went to a squadron Undes, if wanted real chance to try different rates. on a ship in the Yards, you're going get the shaft, not given a chance, sorry but just my experience, unless you take what you want and make it happen.
