EM2 did five years, Amphibious. Best five years of my life served with the very best shipmates, yeah you can get on each other at times, but would not have traded that experience for anything!
great video! i really enjoyed the behind-the-scenes look at life on a US Navy destroyer. it’s fascinating to see what goes on below deck - so much teamwork and dedication involved. honestly, it gives a whole new perspective on their daily lives and the hard work they put in. thanks for sharing this insight!
IMHO. to me it makes sense to build the destroyers 100'longer and 10' wider with more room for stores/ munitions/ and fuel capacity. Plus more room for ventilation below decks and a tiny bit bigger bunks.
Four years as a Quartermaster. That's someone who specializes in Navigation for those who don't know. Not a technical innovation but berthing spaces that aren't passageways to other compartments would be good. My rack was next to the hatch for Fire Control.
Been there, done that...however, I did it on an aircraft. carrier. More stable ride, a bit more room and 12 on - 12 off shifts. Sea deployment is a work environment where ordinary people accomplish extraordinary things. It also prepares you to handle things in civilian that would upset inexperienced people. Training you will never outgrow.
GMM 10 year Navy Veteran & 2 deployments in the med,living & working in a confined area/space becomes routine,a daily juggle of work,watch standing,maintenance & little down time,something you learn quickly to adapt & adjust to & except as day to day living,wouldn't change the experience enjoyed it 🫡🐐🇺🇸
I knew an HM1 in Vietnam with 10 years in the Navy, and had never been on a ship. He had always requested duty with the Marines as a Corpsman. He carried a sawed-off 12ga shutgun. (to protect the wounded).
@@Ned-r4t I don’t think I missed anything. I did deployments to Rota, Spain, Azores, and Sigonella, Sicily. I also did things like was dropped off in Athens for five days, spent some time in Souda Bay, Crete. Did a 4 month good will tour (UNITAS 14) of South America staying in nice hotels and going to gatherings with our enlisted peers in those countries. My son was a green shirts on bow catapults on a carrier, my brother and brother in law were both STCs on submarines. My other brother was in a VP squadron 7 years before me and I served with some of the same people he served with.
Loved being at sea. Spent time on Minesweepers and Tin-Cans. Great rides.
Spent time on USS Cayuga and USS Boulder. Great times, great people.

love being able to recognize each space. Bath built is best built!
Was a Snipe on a Newport Class LST, worked with some of the very best shipmates possible! Miss those guys to this dsy!

Have you served on a navy ship?
wouldn't make it a Cruiser?

Thanks!
Thank you, I was looking for something like this.
Tin-Cans are like a five-star hotel when compared to a SSN. Rode boats, skimmers, air, Grunts, and even the Air Farce. Was a Spook.

There was no mention of maintenance and upkeep.
Perhaps an anti rust metal and paint.
I did from 1983-1989 BT
I saw those cooks on a air craft carrier on a video about carriers, Just Say'n
What happens below decks, STAYS below decks!

@ I was an AX in a VP squadron. We used to kid around about it being to nice to work on planes with no tail hook.
Bummer you have no idea what you missed!

Below deck is where the captain or head DEI INPLANT usually do their dirty work…….
