I like that you showed the pros and cons in this video. An actual realistic video.
Justine Agaloos thank you so much. I just want to give the people the real!!!
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 my dad did a career in the navy n his name is Dave Harris as well
Troy Harris word!?
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 yes sir, David Warren Harris, served 3 tours in Vietnam, served 22 yrs and retired an E9
😵💫
You guys are living like this so everyone else in America don’t got to. Thanks for your service!🇺🇸
Latrell Sutton that really means a lot thank you!!
12 years of ship life! Appreciate your sacrifices.
Wow! My son is a Marine that served on a Navy ship. It’s really interesting to see what it was like. He complained about the head all the time. Said it was filthy. Thank you for your service! You have sacrificed so much for us.
He was not lying!! It can get rough of the ship. Your welcome and thank you for watching my video!!
The way he described the living conditions was hilarious especially the part about the showers and toilets. I was absolutely dying of laughter. But it is also making me reconsider my decision to join the Navy.
Yeah it gets real on the ship. I’m glad you got a laugh out of it🤣🤣
I would go airforce
Not all berthing space are like this. They have no respect for them selves let alone respect for the Navy.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794I tried Air Force but I got disqualified due to my ADHD
I served in the 90's. On board 2 different ships... Thank God our berthing area's never looked this bad.... Who ever was is in command on this ship should have been relieved. Absolutely disgusting. We never left shit laying around whether we were at sea or in port. All our racks were made and if a toilet was clogged it was roped off and it was fixed/repaired/unclogged same day. Poor leadership on-board that ship bro.
E Mail thank you for your service. This was decent looking compared to deck berthing..lol but I understand where you are coming from.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 Is that a Sub? What type of ship is that?
Johnny4ME2U yes it’s a ship a LPD class ship.
E Mail lol I was thinking the same thing. No discipline in this berthing area by this mans description
Agreed I was on ship (G-4) in the 90s and my berth had about 30 guys and we shared a head with near 300. Other than often having to wait for a shower, sink or toilet we had clean squared away head and berthing.
I’m weak as hell watchin this, Navy def not for me. “Doo doo splashin round while u tryin to shower”. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Real talk..lol. it dosen't happen all the time but it does happen every now in then.
Shit I use to have a water bed so i be good
@@PAPIOSO908 lol
he was usto it with 15 brothers& sisters at home its a step up for him but congrats for finishing high school to join the navy
It's M3 lmfao
Homie you had me dying when you said “you trying to take a shower while two dudes are taking a dump”. Mad respect from a retired Air Force guy.
My boyfriend just went to Basic Training this week he’s in the Navy as well and this video definitely gives me insight on the way he’ll be living while he’s away.
Antasia Shaw yes this is as raw as it gets.
It comes to how disciplined the sailors and the leadership itself that affects the quality of life onboard
we had to clean our head every day every bed made and nothing hanging out times has changed
Thank you for serving brother god bless you. My dad was in the navy as well. Thanks for your hard work
TupacWestsideOregon your very welcome and thank you for watching my videos.
This looks rough.. I can’t lie. Thanks for the sacrifices you make on a daily basis.
Wow, that's some tight quarters. Thanks for the tour.
It’s not all that bad just in the mornings when everyone is trying to get ready for work.
Wow Dave Harris, I know exactly what you mean. I was in the Navy in 1981 and I experienced exactly what your video shows. I hated the Navy but I did make some great friends when I was in. It was a good experience for me but no way I wanted to do this for more than 4 years. Anyone who can live this kinda life for 20 years deserves a lifetime pension IMO. It is a hard life for sure. Thanks for your video. Your video shows exactly what living aboard a naval combat ship is like.
Thanks for showing it like it is, doo doo and all.
I’ve been in 11 yrs and never been deployed on a ship (Though I’ve been deployed with the Marine corps).
Honest perspective is always the best.
John Whitt your welcome. Damn your lucky, my first 5 years I got deployed 3 times. I want people see how the ship really looks.
Yeah man,
It’s difficult for HMs to get ships
Oh my gosh! This video just shows why you should respect the military
Thank you so much!!
Respect that insta if you give it
Those L-Shaped racks were just a concept when left the Fleet in 1996 to go recruiting. They look pretty nice but I always loved the closed in feeling of the older style coffin racks.
They are nice and they come with outlets!! Thank you for your service!!
Wow dude, great video! Thanks for showing me why I should join the Air Force!
Buddy anytime bro but it’s not to late to join the navy!!
Wow!!! Thanks for the tour. I hope you don't get into trouble for showing us around.
Onochie Afigbo your welcome I hope so either🤞🏾
I've seen two videos. The other two were obviously polished to give a fake appearance of conditions. Appreciate your honesty.
thank you so much!!
“We only got three stalls”
We only got two stalls

Jayden Grant lol
Things have changed...I never seen our heads dirty because we had compartment cleaners (E1-E3) who also took care of the head. My ship was commissioned in 1941 and decom'ed in 1991. I was on it from 1972-1977...When I first reported aboard I had to sleep in a sky rack WWII style with canvas bottom and a thin piece of foam rubber about 12' off the deck. The coffins were a little different but about the same and both was comfortable. There was no curtains and there was a piece of metal sheeting full of holes about 1/4" that separated you from your neighbor. The other thing I noticed was regular doors. Most of ours were watertight..Thanks Shipmate for the look inside.
We also had cleaners every morning but towards the end of the day this how the heads end up.
Looks like no place for the Claustrophobic haha
It aint that small. Maybe on a sub tho.
A ship in general is no place for the claustrophobic!
I’m anticolostriphobic
@@randomizedcontent9461 claustrophile?
Sam O. I like being in tight places
Man that sounded wrong
Brother you made the best decision in your life serving in the United States navy this country will always respect you. My life as a ex navy veteran has been one success after another. You can't see it now but wait until you get that honorable discharge you'll see
thank you for your service how many years did you do?
Thank you for your service shipmate. I'm a retired Chief Boatswains Mate. I would not ever allow my sailors to live in those conditions. I was in their berthing compartments everyday making sure the heads and berthing area was immaculate. If there was a stopped up, Toilet I'd have my engineering chief counterparts getting it straight. As far as cleanliness, my sailors were responsible for that and I ensured those heads and showers remained spotless. How could your XO allow those conditions. I think the Navy of today is not the same Navy I served. Your Chief should have been demoted!
You are nice to look at 🥰 Thanks for your informative video & thank you for your service. Please stay safe
Thank you. I’m glad my videos are helpful.
Thank you for your service to our beautiful country 🙏🏼🇺🇸
Your welcome!
Wow the navy probably didnt sanction this one.
What do you mean?
The Official Dave Harris lol. The navy is not going to put a video with crap in the toilet and showing the bad side of ship life. Lol. Not a very good recruiting tool. But it's good to see what it's really like sometimes
@@cornpop442 lol..oh ok that is so true. I just want people to see the good the bad and the ugly. Thank your for watching by the way.
@Green Bastard yes we have pay phones on the ship and land lines.
@Green Bastard its like 20 pay phones with up to like 6,000 people on a deployment lol
HOME SWEET HOME….THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE SHIPMATE 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Your welcome 🙏🏾
The navy was on the top of my list but you are making me have second thoughts with that bathroom
Andrew Townsend cleaner than my school
you should go to navy if its something you really want to do.
Join the Air force. These living conditions are not right for humans if we keeping it 100. If you feel that the bathroom is giving you second thoughts you shouldn't join.
why did he have to say you got 36 horney guys in here another reason i joind the army & not the village people
Lmfao
im sorry but its true..lol.
Those L racks are so much bigger than the coffin I stayed in at a midway overnight I did. Thinking about joining at 25. Wish I got in at 17 or 18, I'd be 1/3 way to life benefits now. Been appreciating your videos, they offer good insight. Hope you and your family are well
Bruh had me dyin talkin bout doodoo water splashin on the deck😂😂
That’s how it be!! Lol
Keep making videos bro. You keep it 💯
rooniel sanchez thank you so much!!
I had my own room in the USAF and shared a bathroom with a guy who was a germ-a-phobe who scrubbed the bathroom every day.
WootTootZoot must have been nice!!
Damn,that is the most unsat command I've ever seen. I feel bad for you all having to deal with those conditions. I was fortunate enough to be in a 21 man berthing onboard USS Supply AOE-6 during her commissioning days,so everything was still new in the mid 1990's. Seeing the berthing and head in that condition makes gas station bathrooms look nice.I hope you have it better at your next command,Shipmate.
DeathAngelHRA lol..everyday wasn’t like this but most were. Thank you for your service what was your rate?
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 Gunner's Mate. Thank you,but no need for thanks. Rather,thank you for standing watch today. "The only easy day was yesterday." Don't get me wrong,I still miss the Navy life and have since I walked down that gangplank one last time,but a clean command and quarters are paramount to morale. Food and women come next. 24 years later,I still have dreams I'm back in. It never leaves you.
DeathAngelHRA that’s so cool 😎 thank you for the advice!!
I was on the USS Supply The same time you were; I am sure you worked for me
the supply was not all that clean either lol
Hell nah they need to upgrade that shit big time !can you do a video on what your job is for 14 hours and what is the point of being on a ship for the navy or what is your mission for 8 months ...
Cool vid, nice advices.
Thanks and thank you for watching!!!
Man, that compartment looked tore up. Don’t wanna make any assumptions since I don’t know the details of what was going on that particular day, but damn!
Anyway as far as falling out of the top rack. I remember my father was a bit of a roller and he went into the bone yard and took out a couple of middle seat seat belts from a bunch of junked cars. Before that he used two belts to hold himself into the rack
That’s cool of your father!!
Like prison at sea.
Samuel Jackson A floating prison as I like to say!!
Prison at sea... The perfect description... But you won't have to worry about getting shanked you may get your stuff stolen though... I was on USS America aircraft carrier in the 70s and I was third class petty officer in charge of birthing the last year-and-a-half Of Enlistment... the head... I never had a backed-up toilet or a spunky moldy shower... the birthing area was shipshape also oh... and I had no watches out to sea which was great everybody called me clean CleanTreen and occasionally called me latrine and every time we pull into port in Norfolk I would get out on parole and stay at an Hotel on the weekends... I just did my time and got out... Good and bad times
Ahhh memories.... Good to see not much has changed
Lol..when were you on a ship?
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 1991- 1995
USS Schenectady (1991-1993)
USS Frederick (1993-1995)
Both were LST 's
@@rianjohnsonscrackpipe3647 damn i wasnt even walking yet..lol. thank you for your service.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 thank you for your service too shipmate
Thanks for showing what it's like to be at sea
drew nielson your welcome I want you to see the real!!
The CO of that ship should be relieved immediately. I was on a Gearing Class Destroyer in the mid 60's and we never had poop sloshing all over the place. Anything out of order was repaired/replaced same day. And the showers are disgusting. Does anyone ever clean them? The bunks are a mess. This ship is a disgrace. Jesus Christ, does anyone ever inspect this place?
OldSalt lol.. I just got it at a bad time. I guess it’s a new navy.
Thanks for sharing Dave but that 3rd toilet brah😂😂😂🙊🙊🙊
Christal Jones your welcome and yes it smelled like death..lol
There are pros and cons when it comes to joining the Navy. When one goes into a Navy recruiters office for the first time, the recruiter will mainly tell you the pros, and try to avoid telling you the cons as much as possible. But some recruiters might caution you if you get too excited. Having been in the Navy myself, I learned of what it may be that might drive some to go UA, or as far as suicide. Working hours on a Navy ship can be extremely long, especially when you are out at sea, or as some call it, under way. A lot of brochures may tell you that you can puck any job you want, but the guarantee is the technical, or "A" school that might train you for that job, but once you finish your school, you may end up wherever they need you, which could be a totally different job, one that you might really hate, and although most sailors do get to jot down their choices of where they would like to be stationed on a "Dream Sheet", very few might be lucky enough to get one of their choices, but again, most will be sent to wherever they are needed, even if it was not one of the choices they put on their Dream Sheet.
President JFK said "You know your in the Navy when you are brushing your teeth while There's someone just 3 feet away talking a dump."
I cried,I laughed so hard, if you know what this man is talking bout, then you know!
Lol..straight facts. It’s real out there on them ships.
I served aboard ship in the 60's and what this man shows would never be accepted on my ship. This ship is an unkept ship. One of the problems with todays ships are the smaller crews with a lot of automated equipment. That also means they don't have enough people for maintenance and compartment cleaning.
That is so true! Not enough people.
Will be enlisting into the Navy in 8 months wish me luck 💪🏼
Good luck bro
how is it
Thank you for the video
Your welcome
Ships captain should be charged with neglect of his troops. Sad, Navy should be ashamed!
Somebody should have been held accountable!
Good video, I wish we had L racks😂
Thanks a lot bro. Yeah them L shape rack clutch.
You pulled no punches lol...As a former cs2, you pretty much told it like is!
stephen green I’m just speaking facts..lol
I’m a CSS2 cross rating to IT. damn man... shit looks just like a sub berthing. Great , can’t wait.
i want to cross rate too. but the year i came in is locked up so im stuck with CS
You think that bathroom would be spotless from what the stories the old timers tell i guess this new generation has let standards fall its a shame.
Fat Ass yeah it ain’t like the old days the sailors now are soft and have no pride!!
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 I'll have to agree with that. What a shit hole.
So glad I went the Air Force route. I couldn't have done this.
rand_0893 I wish I would have too!!
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 I appreciate your service man, real talk. You're still in?
I wanted to join the Air Force but I have hand tats lol navy is the only place that will accept my tattoos
@@blackpinkblinkfam7197 that’s sucks then join the navy it’s better then nothing.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 will do! Just gotta do some research
interesting stuff here! subbed man.
Allen Mike thank you for watching 🙏🏾
I subbed to you as well.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 Thanks!
Allen Mike 😎🤙🏾
See now this is why I never wanted to go navy. That living space. You guys are nuts.
Lol..yeah it gets rough sometimes!
Man being a submariner I’d love to have a place to sit up in my rack! And 4 lockers?? We have a 5-6 inch tall flat pan and a single locker 😂
I bet you do. Idk how you can be on a sub. I’m not about that life
Lmao your commentary funny as fuck, as soon as I saw you open the stall with the doodoo clogged toilet, I knew that's exactly how the military is. Should of seen the dumps some of us were living in Korea in the Army lol
Lol.. I’m glad I made you laugh. Thank you for watching my videos and thank you for your service.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 You too buddy
you gave up your freedom to make sure we have our freedom. thank you for your service.
These racks and head are absolutely filthy, I've never seen anything like it. I was in the Navy from 65 to 69 USS Arlington agmr2 Damage Control 3ed and everything was Squared away and Ship Shape. Am sure that not every ship is in this condition, at least I hope not !!!!!
6:06 Jody thanks you for yo service
Real funny😢
I've seen prison cells that are more luxurious. Seriously, you guys are putting yourselves at risk defending this country and THAT'S the kind of treatment you get?? I am SO glad I didn't sign up for the Navy scholarship program they offered at my school. I would've made a HUGE mistake!! I make pretty good money as a male entertainer, flashing my body for cash. So far it's getting me through college!
Yeah I feel like I’m in prison sometimes. A floating prison. Don’t drop the soap!!
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 - You replied! What you do is very commendable and I thank you very much for all you do. Yes, I am a stripper in a sense except I do it online through the camera rather than at a club. It's very discrete and as long as I use a good facial disguise before my showtime, my identity is protected.
OutNProud500 thank you so much and yes I respond to all my comments. Oh ok I be seeing that on porn hub with the women strip teasing and what not.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 - Aww that's sweet of you. I love TH-camrs that take their time to respond to comments. Of course very big channels can't do that as much cause there are literately millions of comments but still, it's good to see ones that do. And I am a guy so you might see me if you ever venture over into the Gay section lol
OutNProud500 year people come to my channel to get information, so I try to educate them as much as possible. Aight that’s too much info ✌🏾
Lol I love it😂good video
Thank you!
we have the same problem with showers and toilets on the ship. toilets are vacuum and often clogged. just as often the scuppers are clogged and the water is ankle-deep on the deck. The rooms themselves are also quite dirty. although we have a cleaning sailor
I remember watching your videos for fun. Now my ass actually in the navy
That’s wassup! What’s your rate?
Pact seaman🤌🏿
@@P2T3 what rate you gonna strike if you plan to stay??
I served 22.5 years in the Navy and 19.5 years were spent onboard ships. None of my ships were in this condition! How in the world would the U.S. Navy allow these conditions? Why would this to be uploaded to TH-cam? Ridiculous!
Louis Karnbach thank you for your service!! It was just one of those days during the middle of the day when a lot was going on I guess.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 yeah but that mold in the shower didn't happen overnight
Brings back memories of being on a Frigate. Back from 03-06.
Curlytop Asmr Lee that’s what’s up does it look like things change in the berthings?
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 Nope things haven't changed a bit :)
wow a locker i remember those i hated those shit! Good luck with that
Hienie Nguyen lol..thanks
I was in a berthing compartment with 68 people on a carrier. The second class PO would have shit purple bricks if we ever had a sleeping area as unkept as this one..I guess the Navy really is going down hill
Lol.. when did you serve?
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 1966-69
Yo I thought the military was all about being clean
Glory Manz believe it or not we clean sooo much in the navy..lol.
Its not just a job its an adventure !
I served in the Navy from 1991 to 2006. What you are experiencing "used" to be very rare. I guess it's more common now. I don't know what type of ship you are on, however. I do know, that if that is the berthing conditions. You need to let your division chief, or officer know. That's completely unsat. There are ways you can fix this. Let your chain of command know what is going on!
I was a Hull Maintenance Technician, on three different ships. That clogged toilet in your berthing compartment would have been taken care of THAT day, when I was still active. ( I had to take care of any where from 200 to 2500 toilets and urinals daily) ((depending on the ship))
The condition of the showers, unfortunately, is the responsibility of the BPO. (Berthing Petty Officer) As well as the very few VERY young enlisted folks that are supposed to clean these spaces.
Maybe sometimes you could maybe VOLUNTEER to help?
Believe me it helps, it shows your willingness to go above and beyond what your regular duties are.
Ok done with my piece, you do you. Please consider what I said though.
This is some real stuff. Actually looks more spacious than some of the bethings I saw on carrier ships. Just curious, do you enjoy life on board a ship? Do people get seasick much and how's the food/gyms and stuff?
While im on the ship i hate it, but some things i do miss about living on board. I still get sea sick when the seas get too rough a lot of the newer sailor get sick. You start to get use to it after a while.
The gyms are decent we had 4 gyms on my ship. Its just get packed when the Marines are with us. The food is decent some days are better than others.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 Cool, I appreciate the quick response. Rough waters was kinda what I was worried about but if I can get used to it then I should be good to go. Btw, I also hear you guys don't get much sleep. Or that you work pretty much all day. That true? Also, hows the internet. Been thinking about kicking up a TH-cam channel especially after I enlist.
If you want to start a TH-cam channel i would do it but it will be tough will on deployment, but when you hit the ports in different countries you can use the wifi out in town to upload your videos.
The Official Dave Harris Alright. I appreciate all the advice bro. I’m taking a lot of mental notes lol. You’re a cook too, just like my dad say he was when he was in the navy. Yeah, the sleep thing was another big one. 4 hours is rough but doable as long as it’s not everyday. By the way, last question do y’all get to watch football games? That’s another big one to me because I gotta have my sports lol
My heart it’s broken right now seeing this video
Now I have an idea what my son is going through in two months.
But that’s what he chose😢😢
Mercy it’s not like this on every ship. Not even on this ship it’s like this every time. The navy is tough but it’s what you make out of it. I’m sure he will make a lot of memories!!
The Official Dave Harris That’s what he told me but as a mom I know I’m going to miss him
God bless! And thanks for your service ⚓️
Feeling some kind of way. I just want to rescue you all.
Back in the 80s and 90s, we had compartment cleaners, and we had our personal areas cleaned. These areas look terrible. Even the MSs have a clean berthing areas.
Great video.. Telling it how it really is.. Clogged toilet.. And showers.. Sardines on a boat
paul thank you for watching I try to speak facts only!!
I start the (British)Navy basic training in 5 month. From what I hear tho our ships ain’t that bad
Boris Johnson that’s great. How long is you guys basic training?
Yo thanks for the reply and it’s 10 weeks basic training and 30 weeks phase 2 training
Boris Johnson damn y’all trainings are long. Our training is 8 weeks then we go to school for our different jobs. Do you know what job your going in as?
Yeh I’ve applied for a marine engineer which is basically a technician (keeping the ships electricity and engine running) what job do you do in the navy?
@@jp-lw5gl thank you for your service from an American Sailor ! 🇺🇸 🇬🇧💪🏼 I say thank y’all because y’all are NATO we keep the peace amongst our countries we’re brothers in other words ! Hooyah !

This man really just put this video up to let the navy know what’s up with the shower/bathroom conditions lol
Lol..somebody needs to know!
5:34... And you speaking that troof. Men and women be pent up and be waiting for that portcall. I know, I did 21yrs of Coast Guard and I was on ships most of the times. We all have needs.
Yuck yuck so dirty!! I was almost going to join Navy instead of Army but I have just changed my mind.
Sophie C lol..don’t let this video discourage you about joining the navy every ship is not like this.
Also it's the military you can't expect some 1 st class royalty bathrooms
hi true that. It’s not a carnival cruise..lol
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 exactly 😂
@@jbcf4490 Unless you get some cushy job in the Chair Force where the only thing you have to worry about is a paper cut.
I’m assuming you set an alarm to wake up when you have to. So, How do you wake up at a certain time without waking up everybody in the berthing?
Jadyn Perrotta yes most people use their cell phone as a alarm.
The ship calls Reveille every morning at 0600 to wake everyone up. It’s pretty much like someone telling us to wake up over the
Intercom.
I was on an Adams class destroyer, our berthing space was tight,, all coffin racks,, but very tidy. No females then. The head had 4 or 5 showers and the toilets maybe 5 to 7, we had just plastic shower curtains. Odd though if we had a clogged crapper it was fixed immediately.
Not all ships get that much storage space it all differentiates on CVN-69 Dwight d Eisenhower we have a coffin rack and a stand up locker. On the CVN 75 Harry s Truman they have racks that have nobody in the top racks normally empty for your sea bag. That’s the air department berthing though so it all differentiates and they all look different as well.
king_jojo21 oh ok good to know!!
lol this guy keeps it real
As real as I can..lol
Mannnn!! Do doo water!!!😭😭😭😭😂💀
For real🤣🤣🤣
Been there and he is not lying

FCA3 here. headed to San Diego/hawaii next month for my 1st ship but 4th command 😭 thanks for the video! luckily I'm going on a pre-com. I've been wondering what a birthing looks like
Ariel Neal I’m not sure what the berthings will look like. Is your ship in Hawaii?
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 it's a DDG..and it's in Mississippi finishing up being built as of now. going to San Diego to wait the process out til it's ready to be rode to Hawaii
Hey I'm an FCA3 too haha. What baseline are you?
Never remember it ever being that nasty on my ship, no one in charge there? LOL
When were you on a ship?
the shit in the crapper was too much in the army we were sanitary
lol..thats how it be we dont have plumbers on board just HTs who job is to fix toilets.
I don't like dirty shower walls and I hate seeing or using backed up toilets and heaven forbid if backed up toilet waste were to hit the floor or even touch my skin. I would be pissed as hell.
I remember taking a shower and the ship was rocking and I would bump into the walls🤢🤮
I served decommissioned ex-hmas Newcastle (modified Oliver hazard Perry class frigate) and we had a 60 man mess. Same number of heads, showers and sinks with cleanos twice a day. I slept in a top coffin and had my Jesus bar. Getting out wasn't the issue, getting in was. I had to swing off the light bar in and one day I missed. Straight into a coffin locker and slashed my leg up.
Peace from the r.a.n brother
Man that’s crazy! Peace and thank you for serving!
About to enlist in the Navy (hoping for AC!). Now, I'm not throwing shade, but I would think that Navy leadership wouldn't allow THAT kind of uncleanliness to fly in the service. I'm not Mr. Clean over here, but if it's to the point where feces-infested water spills into the SHOWER AREA . . . that's a problem. I was homeless this past year, and even the shelters had enough sense to do that much. To stop toilet water from forming puddles all over the place. Are you at liberty to share what ship this is? I appreciate the video either way. Definitely a real video without frills.
Getting Better I get what your saying but when I did this video it was in the middle of the day when everyone was working it’s not always like this but I do wanted you guys to see the ship no sugar coating. We could do a little better with cleanliness it’s just be so much going on when we’re out in the waters it takes time. This is a LPD class ship I won’t put the name out tho.
Thank you for watching by the way🙏🏿
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 LPD? I might not be on it then seeing as how ACs are on bigger crafts (for the obvious reason). I'm happy to watch though. Keep showing more of the ship. If I end up going ship duty first instead of shore, I was hoping to go on the new Ford supercarrier they're working on. Will you be uploading more content?
Getting Better yes I will so stay tuned and thank you for watching.
When you sleep at night does the ships provide Air Conditioning. I need AC to sleep lol
Yes they have AC the berthing can get pretty cold.
The Official Dave Harris I feel like the top beds need some type of fence that can be pulled up or down to keep people from falling., Especially if the ship is moving a lot. Just a thought.
NS R they should but the ship doesn’t rock that much probably on smaller ships. It’s still a long way up if you fall off in your sleep.
Im on an LHA and our sinks and showers are on a sepearate but connected space with the toilets.
idestroi1 that’s how they should have designed this type of ship.
I was on a cruiser in the late '70s. Our head was always kept clean, even underway. The HTs were pretty good at getting clogged shitters cleared. We also did not have gear adrift like this. Our division was usually on port and starboard watches, so someone was always sleeping, so uniforms would be hanging on the sides of the racks, but that's it. We had coffin racks but no curtains.
Thank you for your service I know times have changed a lot since the 70’s.
What’s the point in having so many people on board a ship? In my mind you only need like idk 100 people to drive the ship and clean it etc. why is there like 1000-1500 people on a ship?
because they need to be able to give people time off to sleep, and if multiple people with the same job were to get sick then they would be undermanned. they have people working at all hours of the day
I LL give you less than week of running an LPD with 100 people for crew before the ship sinks .
I was on an ammunition ship in 1973 we had a crew of 350 enlisted and 50(I believe) officers. You have to remember, there are so many jobs to do onboard ship. Food services such as cooks, bakers, and such, Electricians, Gunners, weapons, radar, Laundrymen, Communications, Medical, Engineers, Engine, Boatswains mates, clerks, Payroll, and many more, Navy ships for the most part are self sufficient and are like a town or city, Most jobs run 24 hours a day, (not all) and some sleep while others work, there is always, chipping, painting, basic repair and preventive maintenance going on....Plus ontop of that when at sea, we stood watch besides our regular jobs.
Hi , I’m still in high school and I joined a whole year before I graduate , and I am so worried that I picked a horrible job which is a CS. I’ve been hearing so much negative 😢 I ship to basic June 3. About a week after graduation lol
Curlisha Robinson I personally don’t like being a cook but that’s my opinion it’s different for everyone. If you check out my other videos I go over the pros and cons of being a CS.
With jobs, do the job that you’d like to do so if you like cooking, be a cs, everyone recommends you do a job that can transfer over in the civilian world, but if you’re miserable doing it then it doesn’t matter what job transfers in the civilian world, for example ht can be plumbers when they get out, but if you hate cleaning crap, then why would you want to be a plumber in the civilian world? Hm don’t transfer over in the civilian world, I had to go to school to get my nursing degree after I got out, but I loved being an hm. Don’t worry about the bs, every job in the military has bullshit you’ll deal with, just do what you want to do
Julie Riddick wise words💯
You will do alright if you just say "Yes Sir" and do what you are told. Do the best you can at WHATEVER and keep your eye out for any opportunity to improve yourself and help your supervisor look good.
The same goes for any job in civilian life. Always hold YOURSELF to a high standard.
When you get out, use the GI Bill for school. Good luck and God Speed. (US Navy CTT2 1967-1971)
Mike H I agree with most of what you say, but do not say “yes sir/ ma’am” unless they’re officers. They now require you to call them by rank. Also, don’t make your supervisor look good, make yourself look good in front of your supervisor. I’ve seen it when I was in, being passed from promotion while my supervisor just used what I did on his brag sheet and evals.
I like that plunger you got from walmart. LOL.
lol
