A huge salute to our ladies and gentlemen in the services !!!
thanks Michael!
I must admit this brings memories! I've been out of the Navy since July 1991 but it still doesn't seem like almost 28 yrs. I'm 49 yrs old now and I tell you the best part of the Navy was the travel. There was no such thing as Wi-Fi or Internet back then. Thank goodness I was in a squadron..I guess you could say 50 percent shore duty and 50 percent sea duty. We were embarked on the Eisenhower for workups and Mediterranean cruise. Judging from the ports you were in looks like a West-Pac cruise
I served aboard 2 Battleships . Enjoy this time young man your making memories with friends that you will have for life !!!!
Roger Rathbun I’m making the best of it!
Roger Rathbun , Battleship’s damn. I was a GMG3 and those were my wet dreams.
I was in the USAF. We deployed as 1SOC Para Rescue. No girls, no cheese cake, no air conditioning, no hardened shelter. This was the Gulf War 91. Hot as hell and guess what, they shot back, burnt the oil fields and ran tank brigades over our heads at night. I wish like hell it was like this. And South Korea, was there in 88. Loved that. Funny thing I worked on the Carl Vinson while working for Northrup Grumman. Great ship and I am happy that you young sailors are enjoying it. Thanks for a safe nights sleep last night. Much love for the US Navy. Marine Corp and ok, the Army too. Coast Guard, you count too, kinda...ha. Great video.
Darrin Ros wow I can’t imagine that back in 91! I appreciate your service. Yea I hear it’s pretty easy now for MOST of the military. Carl Vinson has seen many people
Austen Alexander I showed this with my Dad, USS St. Paul, among other assignments, 1946-1964. He’s wondering about the accommodations for seniors. He’s in great shape for 91.
Thank you for your service, but this is nothing like what Dad remembers--unless those meatballs have ground up bones in them!
Other than the food he makes the navy look great
Michael Sudduth it is..... 😁
Right this is very misleading 😂 Deployment even hbder ays are a depressing bitch
Trent Robinson no wifi only emails for operational security. You completed disconnected besides a few phone calls here and there
Trent Robinson what about her, lol don't have a girl in the military it's bad a idea. Most likely she will be fucking other dudes , you will be gone way too much
@Trent Robinson yeah alright we'll see how long that lasts when your gone for 6 months at a time with little contact.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the camera quality and shots, the camera man did amazing.
Hey Guys! Be sure to subscribe to catch my other videos!! Thanks for watching!

they have several rescue swimmers in the water. Including a "shark watch" floating around in a boat. True story
You're making me miss my Navy days brother. Very tough but totally worth it
I was on the USS Independence CV 62 and USS Mississippi CGN-40... if you can't afford college or not sure what do after high school...it really worked out for me..the travel was amazing... being underway (at sea) for long periods of time is definitely tough..God bless
god bless you dude and all your shipmates
Troy Shull thanks for your support!
thank u watching ur videos really shows me that u can do it and im not giving up thank u for words of encouragement and I hope everyone that watched they feel the same way be safe and u never know I might see u out there
It’s the videos like this that I’m sure you’ll cherish big time as you get older. Will be nice to relive the memories rewatching this I bet. Sunrise/sunset at sea reminds me of my couple years spent working on an offshore oil rig. Good stuff man!
My boyfriend if 2 years is in the Navy and I’ve of course always wondered how it was and struggled with trying to understand him more through this and do all my research and this video helps me understand a little better - thanks for sharing this because even tho millions of people have been in and out of the navy it is very little real in-depth footage about it , this was a beautiful video God bless you & God bless the All our sailors 💙💪🏾
thank you very much! I think a lot of Sailors are careful about filming on the job
They say you shouldnt date in may because right now your waiting on him when you should be exploring your life I also hear they come out a changed man so he may not be who you remembered however If you do stay loyal I guess your kids will be living a good life
US Navy 1971-78, HM2. , Balboa Hospital, VA-25, USS Ranger. This pretty much was what my time on the carrier was like in my young and skinny days. Well done.
join the Army they said...see the world they said.......
lvwrx you just have to go on deployments
Pvt Savage yea lol now I’m going to Poland in January
@@raygunreagan2274 i live in poland
Pvt Savage 2/47 on ft bliss
1st armored division
Great video! I served as an AO on the Nimitz and Stennis with VFA-41. I did 1 cruise on the Nimitz and 2 to on the Stennis, all 8 months a piece. I wish any of mine were only 180 days lol. My first year was boot camp, A school, and C school. The next 4 years were mostly deployments. I always tell people serving in the Navy was the best/worst decision of my life lol. Choose your rate, choose your fate.
Really well put together, engaging and sparks that interest about Navy life ;) I like this
Thanks my dude! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Completely phoney, innacurate and fake.
“And remember, don’t eat the squid in South Korea.” that quote aged quite well lmao
😂😂 too soon
Austen Alexander lmao. Love the vid btw. Plan on going MA once my surgery recovery period is over.
How? Or is china and South korea (two different cultures and countries) the same to you 🤔
I see what you so desperately tried to do here.
When I was about 10 years old, I used to tell people I wanted to go into the armed forces, didn't matter what branch. Although, now I have type 1 dieabetis and stress doesn't help my blood sugar levels so I feel that it is better if I don't. I do however want to be a doctor, I love helping others and I want to be an emergency room doctor so that I can help people when they are in need of it most, yes it is still stressful but at least I can go home at night and take a mentle break from it all for a few hours. Keep making vids, they are really inspiring.
Sometimes life doesn't work out like we planned and some people stay there looking back because of what they couldn't do, and others, like you, move forward and change direction and live amazing lives! Glad to hear your one of those people!
Awesome video. I've never seen a day in the life of someone in service. Thank you. Those sunsets are amazing.
OOOOOoooo I love the editing on this!
as a mom I am always worried about my son who is an aviation person on the deck on those huge carriers. love your video puts some of that worry to rest. thanks. Safe travels and God bless each and everyone of our troops!!!
I'm glad! My mom still worries everyday too I'm sure haha completely normal
Good stuff Austen, way to see and strive for the best
Was on the FDR CVA42, 1964-1968 on the flight deck, was a good time of my life. Enjoy it brother!
I always knew it was the MAs who were sneaking into the Frozen Stores Locker to eat contraband cheesecake. Nice video of a privileged life aboard the USS Carl Prison. Carry on squids!
Chuck Boyle haha but he majority was the galley crew!! They’re the most privileged
Carl Prison! Haha.
😮😁👍
This is cool man. Im 33 but during my time in service when i went in at 17 we pretty much just barely had 3-5 mp cameras. Most people had use the wind up ones you threw away after development. Units were so strict with Cameras because of the Haditha Massacre. Its cool to see how far people can take things now to document stuff. Future files to show friends and family.
Thank you so much for your service. May God Bless you and your shipmates!!
Thank you for sharing your story with us.. So amazing ☺️👍🏻
Umm.... it's very long and boring mostly. But trust me the places you'll visit are cool. You have to be a very patient person. Military is a special breed.
navy
how does social media work? some people say you can use it others say you can't
Been considering the Navy for a while now, but I don't want to leave my dog 😂
Elena Wellington me too 😭 got a whole German shepherd and I’m just like 💔
Same !!
dayanna guapisaca I wish I could loose 100lb and be on my way 😢 I got a little bit more to go but I’ve lost 50 so far running, drinking water and staying away from the bad foods
I don't want to be in the Navy at all, but I'm going to do whatever I need to do to become a Seal.
@@MichaelJordan-jf2fs Seals are the Navy...
this has such a good message i love it
Thanks sir - I enjoy seeing these videos as they give me a slight connection to my friend in the Pacific.
Thanks for the support, Thomas!
I'm going away to bootcamp in November and was a little scared of being so far away from my family especially missing all the holidays. This video helped me put everything into perspective. I appreciate this man.
Nizar I went to boot camp on December 9th and I felt the same way man. When you get there you will be with 90 other people who feel the same way. Good luck 🍀
Good bud it's alittle scary at first but you warm up quickly. Just remember it's the best feeling in the world when you graduate. Stay strong never give up and you will be just fine. I think boot now is more like being on a ship then when I went in 2003.
Navy & Marines have the best looking men 👀👀
Thanks
My son just enlisted. Ships out in August to Great Lakes RTC.
Anthony Sullivan except anthony sullivan
myra961 :(, I promise I’m a good looking Seaman.
Rightttt
man i sure do miss those days, being underway and seeing all those ports and visiting all the different countries. enjoy it while it lasts.
Thank You For Your Service!!!
Extremely motivational. I can’t wait till I can ship out.
how was it mate?
@@RO-LO Easy. Kind of disappointing.
@@jaydood ohh lol
This is a really great video!! Please don't listen to the negative comments here. It was very well put together, interesting and perfect to me
there will always be negative comments! and thank you for the kind words ☺
I truly love your videos and thank you for your service Im testing soon to join the ship as well and I prey I pass I believe more and more of myself the more I watch your videos, your the first to really get into what time is like in the navy and how much fun and respect you can get and bring if you just do your job. your amazing and ill keep watching. thank you for the videos and be safe
thank you so much Ashley!! I try to be as real as I can be. I believe you will pass! Just stay motivated and determined
Thanks for making this, great video!
I miss my days in the Navy, Hooyah my brothers and sisters!
My Son is assigned to the CVN70 Carrier. He got on the boat this year.
I'm sure he will enjoy it!
He told me a few weeks ago which I told him that was very rare. He said that he was in the hanger bay elevator section and a Submarine just popped the surface close to the boat and it scared him. He did not expect that. The venture just begins. He likes his job.
Shorty454 My son is on the CVN 75 .
Craig Chaney God bless you and yours
That's a ship.
Wow its a different lifestyle for sure, it's good to look after yourselves each other and the country whilst seeing the world. No tech is not a bad thing these days, good to communicate with each other the good old way. Bless you all😊
Remembered that on a battleship new jersey westpac! Missed it! The friends and the liberty of ports visit!
My dream was to be an MP or MA. Great Video though! I'm from Guam. I'm currently in Navy DEP and enlisted as PACT Airman. I can't wait to ship for bootcamp!!
Anthony Dela Cruz I loved Guam! Be sure to try to stay away from cranking haha but they will probably make you anyways. It’s fun. Just save your money and be responsible!
save that bonus, just went through that a school, start training for the pt now
Please stop. Get out of DEP asap. Dont go to the fleet as undesg. If you qualify for MA, you can have it. Dont do it. Its not worth it. You'll be excited until you hit the fleet.
David you can go dep with designation. at least I did in 83
This is video that lead me to go navy thank you .
Truly the best Navy video I've seen. Not all BS, well done from a sailors point of view and truthful, especially the cake snatching. From an old army ranger.
pfdrtom thanks man I appreciate the kind words. Couldn’t survive without snatching those cakes! Haha thanks for your service as well
My best friend is on his 3rd deployment right now and I’m missing hearing from him daily. The video started and you started talking and I was like almost instantly crying
Boys I’ve secured the pie, returning to the bunk beds now.
Sailor , your the best of the best. Period. What life experiences and you're receiving will last a lifetime. Enjoy.

to be a united states sailor...take a special mentality...OS2SW 2001 2009
Hey Chaplain if it is so great than why does the Navy have so many AWOLS and suicides?
Learned of this video from the Veteran with Sign Instagram video today. Really love seeing “where it all began” stories. BZ!
Pretty darn good video. Well edited and filmed
Cool piece!
Thanks for sharing...
Brings back memories while serving aboard the USS Donald B Beary FF1085
USS South Carolina CGN-37
Best part of being a part of the navy you get free good hotels and get to explore other countries

That's so great! I finished high school 3yrs ago and I still don't know what I want to do with my life and now I'm finding myself watching all this kinda of videos and I'm REALLY enjoying it and actually considering it. I think I just found out what I wanna do and I'm so excited to do something about it!
Btw I'm Australian too!!! Can I ask how old are you?
My 1st ship was homeported in Yokosuka Japan..USS Independence CV 62..an Australian Navy ship visited us.. I took a tour of the boat..back then u can drink alcohol on Australian Navy ships..the Australian sailor showed us where they got"pissed"... awesome...also we did some exercises with Australian Navy..u guys rock

Someone didn't pay attention to uncle sams opsec. Nice video bro
Hey. My husband is leaving for navy basic, on June 20th and I found your channel doing some research on what to expect. Do you think Sara could a video on what it’s like to have a military significant other?
Love this ! Thank you sharing !
From time to time I like to watch this video to relive some of the memories

Wishing you safe travels my brother and to all you serve with.
Cheers

We were so close to going to port in Perth. Thank you and I used a Canon t6i. I recorded the audio on my iPhone down in the seventh deck because it was the most quiet place haha
Austen Alexander thanks so much for replying back. Yes we get the USN here quite alot in Fremantle.

I hope you enjoyed a beautiful sunrise from my state of Hawaii. I have enjoyed many of them on my surfboard.
Beautiful video🙏🏼
Can't wait until my first deployment!
Austen, will unpaid loans/debts deter someone from becoming an MA? And what if the payments are in progress?
First video I watched about the navy. Its crazy to see it again
Gotta love RAS days. I'm a CS on the roosevelt so I totally understand that freezer
YOU MAKE U. S. STRONG💪
I'm in the navy and I've never seen such a handsome dude omg ♡♡♡♡ please be in my next command 😍😍😍😍
😂😂😂 I’m getting outttt
@@AustenAlexander Crossing fingers to meet you in the civilian world 😍 Haha
Also mad at myself for replying 2 weeks later 😭😭😭
Great Video!!
Yeah! I love 3M and spotchecks on NEALs lighting!
With all due respect to your family I just imagining how much money it has been saved back home for NOT FEEDING YOU . !!!!!👍👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🥳🥳🥳
What memories this brings back. I am a plank owner from the 1982 commissioning crew out of Newport News shipyard.
Wow that was some time ago!! Do you recognize any of the compartments in the video?
Different world brother, I was in M-Div so was rare when I was above the hanger deck underway.
But I have stood where you were on the fantail watching air ops and taking pics of the escort ships (or Soviet “fishing” boats), only I was using my Cannon AE-1 35 mm camera I bought from the ships store for $235.
Man, the plate and cup look familiar. In '82 underway there was two mess decks with two lines apiece. This operated 23 hours a day. Instead of a sandwich line the alternative was what we called the “Boner and slider” line ie Hot dogs and Hamburgers.
The swim call scene made my day. We did one on one of our shakedown cruises to the Caribbean, I think most of the MAs were in boats around the swim boundary or on the flight deck with M14s on Shark duty.
I actually did SP once for duty on a port call to St. Thomas. We were disappointed when the Falkland war started as that caused our cruise to South America (with a Rio, Brazil port call as the highlight) being canceled.
I rotated off in '83 to stay on the east coast but still kept up with some buddies during the Vinson's maiden around the world deployment to its new port in Alemeda (using snail mail of course). They were hitting so many ports in Asia that folks ran out of money and just stayed on the boat for 2 or 3 port visits.
Yep that was 36 years ago. Time flies so who knows ~36 years from now you might run across some sort of documentary about the world of Vinson in the year 2054.
Be safe Brother!
Respect. Great vlog.
Brings back memories.. when I was in e-div our little go to gym spot was "the pit."
My nephew is at boot camp right now as I’m typing this. I’m one proud auntie! God Bless America and my nephew and everyone else who is serving in our great military....🇺🇸....Go Navy...🇺🇸⚓️🇺🇸...
Yesss GO NAVY
I joined the air force and did 22 years, but wished i could have been on a carrier. navy life looks very cool
eifeldude1 it’s definitely an experience. Some good and some bad
Number 1 air force in the world: US Air Force, Number 2 best air force in the world: US Navy.
Number 1 Navy in the World: US Navy, Number 2 best Navy in the World: US Army. Yes the Army has boats.
#1 Air Force in the world: US Navy. Takes serious skill to land on a carrier moving in the middle of the ocean in rain, high winds, etc.
Yea, when your stuffed in a berthing area with three other dirt bags that couldn't identify a bar of soap and hadn't seen a shower in three weeks or done laundry in a month, you'll think, god damn Navy, I should have joined the Air Force.
Just found this channel and I'm loving it ! keep up the good work man 🤗
That's good to hear! Thank you
Keep up the good work man I’m your biggest fan👍🔥
Must be nice to see the sun rise underway... XD
served on the uss dwight d eisenhower and the uss america 81-85
Michael Davis that was some time ago! Thanks for serving 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awesome Michael Davis, I was on the America around the same time as you (84-86), I was in VA-46
i was ships company aimd im3 loved our captain
I too served aboard that USS America cv-66 75 to 79... A division... Hydraulics... steering and elevators.
Amazing man
+Austen Alexander Hafa Adai che'lu (hello there brother) from Guam 🇬🇺! It was awesome to see that you visited. Hope you had a great time. Ayyyye this video is awesome man. I'm thinking about joining the Navy. I just need to take care of some personal matters. But, ayyye Dangkalo Yan' Si Yu'us Ma'ase (Huge Thank You) for your military service. Take care and stay safe che'lu (brother) 🤓🤙🏽🇬🇺!
I’m having a hard decision on joining the Air Force or Navy,I’d like to live on board an air craft carrier & travel a lot. But I’m use to the Air Force since I’m in JROTC & this will be my 3rd year in it
I'm not sure that your JROTC will carry over to the Navy, but it could. As far as the air craft carrier.....I think you'll get used to it after your first deployment haha It is fun though.
Shipboard life sucks. Carriers suck worst. Being a deck ape on a carrier looks truly awful. You can see places in the air force and really be able to experience it since you won't be there for a couple of days in port with all of the sort of negative crap that surrounds you there. Of course, you could end up stationed someplace really bad for years, too.
I’m having the same complication. What branch did you choose?
PC_Noob12 I started off air Force, and fixing to go navy. Are you wanting to go active or reserve? I would stick with air Force if you have jrotc. Update. I'm going army instead since the navy recruiter isn't responding.
PC_Noob12 it's a trap! Join the Air Force!
I wanna join the us navy ⚓️💪🏾
jay adams go for it!
Austen Alexander yeah I am I’m studying for the asvab
I didnt need to study. Took the practice test and passed. You only have to make a 30 to pass. Its simple stuff. Like 5×5. Also. Taking the practice test first they put about 15 points on the actual test when you go take it. And i will be doing that tomorrow. I could guess and pass .-. Its np. Just go for it.
Keep in mind, a high ASVAB score opens up a lot more ratings (jobs) to choose from. A low score will get you in, but you'll be much more limited in your choices, increasing the chance you might have to choose a shitty or uninteresting job.
ashur kun Have fun being PACT Seaman. 😂😂😂
What an amazing video👏👏👏
Can't wait to join you in the fleet!
I have a few friends who are on the Carl Vinson they’re all CSs
CS are cool people!
I had a Chief who came from the Vinson, his name was RMC Hickson.
Done
I was wondering why this guy looks familiar until he said what ship he was on. Was right there serving with him, saw him before and recognize almost everyone in that video. Brings back memories. Hooyah
Thank you so much for serving our country
