Sailors have different jobs, so every day will be different. I hope ya'll enjoyed a day in my life!
Might have to make a day in life as a bm aka work
This was very well put together. Nice shots and editing!! I ship out Jan 17 and then after that 2 years of A school at Goose Creek
@@Rancher1911 2 years?! Nuke?
Austen Alexander where are you from?
Austen Alexander yes sir!
Who else had PTSD when the apple alarm first rang in the beginning of the video 😖
lol
My shih tzu woke up from his nap 😂 and he made the face like wtf not this alarm again 😂
Dude when that went off I was like “man get outta here with that morning alarm” cuz that what I use, I don’t need to hear it more than I need to. Lol
I'd be careful talking about PTSD on a military channel...
PTSD lmao
This dude was on the ship with me. He's a solid dude. It was a pleasure serving with you brother.
I’m 33yr. I ship out to bootcamp soon. Since I’m older, but single, would I be able to live off base or do I HAVE to be married?
@@gotachilegendaryssj38 still have to be married
@@gotachilegendaryssj38 either have to be married or E-5 I believe
@@gotachilegendaryssj38 im 33 about to ship about next month lol
@Shark Mark I'm 33 meeting a Navy recruiter tomorrow 😂
Man, you are disciplined to get up at 5:00 just to contemplate, walk the dog, cook, and work out! 😭
I stay in bed until the last min, rush out, and grab a bite to eat.
discipline equals freedom brah
ElectricRemi True!
@@brandonjpj1 What would Jocko do
Gay
I dont even eat lol
I wake up. I ponder my existence. I walk my dog. I eat breakfast. I go to the gym. I get ready for work. I work. I get home. I sleep. I repeat.
egg sack lee
Lml
Welcome to life
lol ive never pondered my existence. maybe you need a hobby. go buy some tools are start building shit
And your point is stfu make one navy good for u
"People assume we live on a boat 24/7 , well this is not always the case"
-immediately shows himself on a boat >.<
lol jk dope ass vid !!!!!!
JTsuits You’re the best out of them all.
He shows himself leaving the boat XD #puapaaa
i'm leaving the boat bruh....................and thanks
haha i know :D ,, but the fact that you were leaving the boat means you were just on the boat ;)
But leaving the boat means not 24/7....have you had your holiday eggnog already 😅
I really appreciate that you took the time to mention little details about things like having to shave every day and what the patch on your uniform means. Thanks!
Thank you for your service. I just discovered your channel recently. I really like your positive attitude about your work and following rules. Rules exist for a reason. Great work.
It's easy to have a positive outlook when you get more than 4 hrs sleep underway and every day underway is a workday! -Gearhead222 (ex IC2) in Texas
Thank you for serving to all military members past present and future God Bless America
Hey, that looks like a sweet gig! Mornings free to chill and workout, then patrol the harbor... plus it’s San Diego! Good stuff, man.
Epic vid! Dope editing & timeline! Thank you for your service and thank you for sharing your experiences.
It takes all kinds. I enlisted in the Navy because I wanted to live on a boat for a few years. Got my wish, and, got to see a good chunk of the world I would never have gotten to see as a civilian. I spent 6 years as an HT, it was an experience I wouldn't trade for anything else in the world.
first one of these where the alarm doesn't say "Rise And Grind."
Brony Number1 Cody ko? Lol
i don't know how I found a Cody Ko and Noel collab comment on a video so non-related but I'm not complaining haha
I’m becoming an AAR and your channel is helping me get motivated and excited to start my life. Thank you.
awesome to hear! Thanks for the support bro
One thing that i notice with everyone in my family who has been in the military is their peanut butter addiction.
Isaiah Conklin and ketchup
Isaiah Conklin peanut butter is life. 👍🏻 lol
Underway in the Indian Ocean after a while peanut butter and jelly sandwiches was about the only good thing to eat. Food selection can get a bit limited especially if you are independent ops away from the Group
Peanut butter is life at sea. Also, we consume a lot of hot sauce
HaulingTH-cam ketchup and hot sauce make everything in the military taste better
It’s kinda cool to see how different your schedule is from my brother’s as an airman in the pararescue training pipeline and my friend’s as marine corps infantry🤷♀️ thank you for your service
Not every job is like this in the Navy. So those who are looking to join, don’t get excited thinking that this is the schedule of every sailor. Other than that, great video!
Well said, USN was my LAST choice, as they do NOT guarantee you a rate, like the Army! Still made E-5 in 2.5 years though:)-John in Texas
Must be nice waking up at 0500. While we are over here sweating our asses off and waking up at 0300 and getting off at 1800.
P.S. but forreals nice video
Lmao your schedules a joke! there’s no mandatory 0630-0800 pt like the army. You have a set time when to get off unlike us 11B can be recalled anytime and up to the leadership when to get off. If our schedules like this then they’ll be more people staying in the army.
@@alexmelendez2118 I have that exact schedule in the navy doing the same job he does in the middle east no I'm not deployed I work 14-15 hours a day so the Navy isn't all fun and games all of it can be rough at times
@@weindalerosete6577 And like I said in my last reply working security idk where he works but he must have a nice job in security cause the rest of it is shit.. he also works on the boats which most of the time is better than being on landside
1:07 chill bro you almost got water on me
i always try to make the viewers moist
Austen Alexander thank you
Austen Alexander lol
Shipping off in February this year. I picked MA as well so this video gave me an insight in the day of the life. Great vid! Keep it up!
love the video man, Really helps me get an understanding of what i could possibly do as an MA. Im currently in MA school rn and i love it so far. Looking forward to that OC spray course lmao.
Super happy I found this. I love watching day in the life of anyone in the service. I am always curious about what happens. My brother is AF, good friend is a Marine and my bestfriend was Army. They don't tell me much about their daily lives. Thank goodness for youtube channels like this that give us a peak. :)
thanks for the support!!
Hey Mr. Alexander. My name is Chris and I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I'm 17 years old and I am starting talks with my recruiter about becoming an MA. This has really helped me to see a little of what Harbor Patrol does and it eases my mind knowing that there are things out there that I can see as a reference. Again thank you for publishing this video as it is very helpful and it gives me a bit on insight on how I should structure my life around my job.
Yooooooo!! Been watching your vids for a fat minute and I’m finally in the navy! Your vids always inspire me! Hope you’re doing well!
You’re awesome thank you for your service💪🏼💪🏼
You should do a video on what you do with your uniforms. NWU and dress blues/whites. Even if you go to a dry cleaner, you could use how you keep all your uniforms in order and what you recommend when to get a certain type of uniform washed compared to like maybe dress uniform where you may need to keep them dry cleaned every time you wear them. I'm just making examples and etc. Great video man!
this is actually a really good idea. i think even non-military would find this interesting. Thanks!
@@AustenAlexander No problem dude!
Tbh I’m highly interested in this topic. This is coming from an army soldier. Cheers.
@@AustenAlexander Maybe I just haven't got to that video yet, but did you ever do something like this?
Great video. As an ex navy (OS) its great to see your content having so many views. Got to work with alot of MA's on my shore duty and one of my favorites was a senior chief. Lots of respect man. Hope you pick up when you test.
i appreciate it! I know lots of OSs. Good people and seem to love the job
Well played son, well played! God bless you and all our military
My son just graduated from the navy he’s at A school I will like to tell you first thank you for your service you are and inspiration for the people who want to enjoy the Navy great videos great content must important great personality I’m a parent very proud Navy dad and I know you family are too thank you 🙏 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸⚓️⚓️⚓️
recommended on veterans day. thanks for your service, Mr. Alexander
I'm happy to join Sailor. Your channel will grow because your the real deal.
Be safe kid. Go Navy 🇺🇸
Editing skills on point ! Your the man
Just finished air force bmt. This man literally has the dayroom daily schedule on his wall. I respect that.
Thank you for your services 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Really enjoyed watching your channel .. very enjoyable... Keep posting... ♥️❤️👍
Thanks for keeping us safe Austen.
Great video. Thanks for sharing a day with us. ♥
Lol when you’re stationed on a ship and your day starts at 0600 and ends at?????? Never. Your day never ends.
Yup, yup and yup! I declined the ONE set of shore duty orders at A school due to my class ranking. Hard to believe that I was once that gung-ho!-Gearhead222 in Texas
Sorry bro but I had a whole different experience in the Navy and I was always stuck in the boat . With 2 deployments n countless underways for different missions. The rate decide yr lifestyle in the navy. Thank you for your service n don't forget to tell them about cleaning stations 5 times a day and duty days and all that good stuff.
@Box Top it's actually like this right now : " I have one of my best friends seeing a psychiatrist because of stress and the BS we dealing with for the daily basis. That's how it is right now . But can't lie it was some good days when I had a different chain of command and different rate . But now it suck for all hands . So yeah weather u at sea or shore u still gonna have the same chain of command.
Choose ur rate..choose ur fate!!..I agree with you
Dude the shots and the editing is incredible.
Great Video ! Thanks Man !
Your filming techniques are really cool!
Thank you for your service and I also want to be a U.S. Navy Sailor so I hope I can see you out there on the field!
Fleet*
Yeah, no fields at sea, bro. You will quickly learn that after you join the navy. Hahaha. Might want to think about Army if you are hoping to be “in the field”
In the Navy you are out on open water... on the high seas...the deep blue and beyond...in the fleet... etc.
@@agmsmith4079 I know lol. I soon realized that a day after I posted it.
This video is amazing. Thank you for your service! I’m always curious about the other careers in the Navy. My husband is Navy EOD.
I was an ABE on the IKE. 90-94. Love ya.
Can't wait to join this amazing branch!
You should collab with Jtsuits. Also how often do you go to the gym and what’s your workout routine?
i told JTSuits if he wanted to collab with me then he'll have to pay me 😂and it's usually 6-7 days per week normal split. Chest/Arms. Shoulders/Abs/ Quads/Hams/Calves
Everyone I see who does these “a day in the life of” ate so inspired and so regimented. Just once I want to see someone who wakes up 10min before PT and works some combat job in garrison 😂😂😂
Very good bro it definitely shared some insight on the job I’m thinking of doing keep up the work bro 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
That melody in the beginning of the video is a great bedtime tune. I think I'm gonna listen to it to fall asleep
If you want this schedule DO NOT go engineering
I have been an engineer for 22 years and i dont think i have had 2 same days that whole time
As an EM or electricians mate in engineering, you have to suck it up when the ship pulls up to the pier, and your shipmates are shaved, showered and in civvies just waiting to dock. Soon as the brow is in place they are off into the arms of loved ones or heading off base, while you are dirty in coveralls tired from the heavy watch rotation plus work and knowing you won't hit the shower for another 2 or 3 hours while rigging shore power and staying until engineering spaces secured and using "hotel" services.
Fuck
Or AO lmao
@@lucillechavez9939 poor babies. We usta call yall *the mole people* because yall never come from below the ship. Us LSs usta be mad about our chief not letting us off the ship on time...until we realized we weren't the mole people.
When I was in..I wore the old ww2 dungarees on an average workday..wish we had the nice BDU's...I guess ur a Master at Arms..ur life as enlisted Navy doesn't look to bad..I'm sure you have videos showing the not so fun side of Navy life.. ultimately I like ur videos..and yes I'm old 👍👍😎
That was super great! Grand-daughter to a WW II American Navy Sailor, something nostalgic about watching this!
Gotta love some of that retro 80's electro music. Awesome video man!
Looks like Steve Rodgers joined the navy too🤔
Damn man I’m starting to think I chose the wrong rate 😭 I wanted to be a quarter master and got it but watching this I wish I went with naval security, looks like a blast. But I’m sure it has its boring times but either way thanks for the great video 👌🏾
Your videos are interesting, thanks and keep making them.
Awesome video! Thank you for your service!
+Kona 88 I appreciate the support!
The question is, do you enjoy what you do and how does it affect personal relationships?
You look like a straight Tyler Oakley lmao
never heard that one before but that's hilarious lol
Dusty Rhodes too bad I didn’t include my gf in this video
@@AustenAlexander i know "straight" married gay guys lol.
Na but we know you straight no worries Austen . Lol
More like a straight Davey Wavey
@Dusty Rhodes you wish 🤣
I love the way how you take care of your baby Lucy🐶🥰 Im just newly on your channel and I enjoyed watching your vlogs. KEEP SAFE AND GOD BLESS HERO!🙏❤
Thank you for your service
I’m taking a 💩while watching this.
Love my DD2-14
Brad Adrian Williams lmao
me to
😂😂 Me too
Dude I’m inspired by your videos just recently enlisted as a ma and maybe one day we can link up 🤙🏻🇺🇸
4.0 vlog, shipmate! Loved it. Outstanding
+2A' ZZ thank you!!
Really enjoyed your videos. I was active with the army for 5 years with the infantry and am entertaining the idea of reenlisting with the navy. I’ve gotten some good info about the navy from your vids.
Heads up the patches on your arm are IR not UV.
I’m joining the Navy after highschool. I’ve been waiting since I was 13. 1 more year and I can’t wait!
Sweet, I want to join the Navy as well, right now I'm only getting ready to start 10th grade though.
@@anarchy2118 Check out ALL of the recruiters before settling on the USN. You will see mostly sea if you are assigned to ships company-John in Texas
Finishing off highschool, I ship out June 17
I'm in now. Best decision I've made.
OK Sailor, cool schedule. Former Airborne Infantryman here. You live the life, wow, what a nice regimen. Gym session, shower, geez.
Rivet Gardener define you not a normal life. He’s nota real sailor lol he’s an MA
Thx for your service
Wanted to say thank you for your service!! And God Bless thanks again!!!
What’s the song during your workout session!? I need that when I work out :D
Good bless you man keep it up
First ever vid i watched from you and 4:46 in and i already subed lol great editing and i love that you listen to audio books. Great morning routine as well thank u for your service !
+4evaluvyah I appreciate it! Thanks for the support
Couple questions! 1 what kind of watch are you wearing? 2 where were you stationed?
Excellent video brother! Filming with a GoPro?
Thanks bro! i did the gym/bike with a gopro yes. it only does wide angle :( Finally got a 7 Black!
Since I am aiming at the JMSDF special guard, I am longing for my job like the US Navy Security Force.
Please take good care of yourself!
Is it a question, what is the wristwatch you are using?
Thanks for this video.
Thank you for your service ❤ My husband retires in August!!!
You just gave the enemy the secret now they will wear UV patches so they don't get hit with a Drone Strike
LDG 508 “secret”, yeah right
Opsec
@T D what
I love the schedule, no time for the GF! lmao!
lol she pencils herself in there most times
I noticed that too but women take a lot of your time,energy,and money
@@BatMajor true!
Do more day in the life’s I love it!!!!! Keep it up Mann
Great insight! Thanks for sharing!
I appreciate it!!
For alot of people it is. Most rates are sea going rates. LSes for example are 5 years at sea and 3 on shore. Also yall dont have command ball caps?
that's true. We do have command ball caps but I prefer the 8 point
Bro someones using u to catfish on insta, they literally asked me if they wamted to be my sugar daddy
I got their account deleted don't worry lmao
I am an active duty Navy Chief (GMC). Great vid man. Keep up the great work! HOOYAH!!
Thanks for enlightening us😁
Currently stuck in deck department as undesignated but I hope to strike MA this december
Good luck, as it's a tough job breaking away from the ship as an undesignated to go to school. To put it in perspective, ALL Royal Navy sailors are sent to the fleet with a rate-John in Texas
Must be nice to go to work-out on your own like an adult. In the Army we are forced to do PT with the whole Platoon at 0630-0800. Work at 0930-1700ish then get told we have to workout on our own to improve.
Don't forget the weeks gets u if ur injured
I was going to post something like this lmao must be nice to be in the Navy. In the Marines we wake up at 0500 and start PT at 0515. We PT until 0630 and we’re at the shop working by 0800 until 1730. When we get back we clean the barracks and get told how we’re pieces of shit. P.s this guy looks like every other douche military member and thinks he is hard but does no physical fighting skill.
Thank you for your service ❤😊
Thanks for your service
I read the title as "A Day in the Life of an Entitled US Sailor
I would imagine that would be the case for female sailors.
Everyone say the sailor boys are baby's cuz their life is so air-conditioning 😂
@@ChuukeseStink some but certainly not all
@@Peayou... True, True. I know some hard chargers. And I know some female E-3s who talk back to 2nd and 1st classes. And if they do anything she'll threaten them with an EO complaint.
@@ChuukeseStink Yeah of course there will be. there's still are some really hard-working females in the military :)
How did you exactly decide you wanted to be a sailor? Was it for travel, opportunity, or school? And when did you get in? (Did you enlist?) Sorry for all the questions. Love your youtube channel
it's ok! haha it was for multiple reasons. I hated college and felt stuck. I wanted to travel though most of all. I enlisted in April of 2013
Okay, really cool. I want to enlist in the Air Force or Navy too
U just know x navy
@@anam-bt9gb Why not Army or Marines?
@@anam-bt9gb Dare I say coast guard?
Thank you for your Service
Your awesome dude thanks for everything u do for our country
What’s the age limit to joining the military? I feel like I want to do more for my country and myself - and even though I’m older now I’m interested if I can enlist. Thanks!
Gino Vanaria it all depends where you are from i think! i’m from canada and my dad is in the air force and he joined at 18.
The Navy sure has changed since the mid sixties. If you want a taste of what the real Navy was like, try a couple of years on a Gearing Class Destroyer.
The navy privy to a time machine?
Amen to that
Austen, thanks for the video, I always wondered what you Navy guys do on vacation.
first off, im a new sub, great video's A+ reason for the sub, second, Thank you for your service ! and look forward to seeing more
My last name is saylor.. naturally I’m gonna become a us navy.. person..
Lol.
Hi from Greece, I really like your video
I served in the Greek ARmy in Artillery and discharged with the rank of second leautenant and now i am curently on reserves officer if anything happens they call me back.
Ι just want to ask you, why do you choose the US Navy and not other branch of the US armed forces like marines or army or Air Force?
If I was American i really want to serve in the Marines....
Thank you for time!!
Great video brother.
