I just barely graduated from Navy boot camp on September 9th 2020, and for me battle stations was so realistic that my brain actually.beleives it and acted accordingly. This was some of the most essential training I have done yet and I give props to all of the instructors and staff that made it that way.
As a father of a sailor recruit in Great Lakes in late summer, 2023 to know this happens in battle stations at the end of training is fantastic. Go Navy!
I balled my eyes out 💖 one of many legendary stories that make us even more supportive and humbled by the men and women who serve. My dad was on the USS Forrestal Fire and what I learned from that moment and the USS Coles moment is, the Navy does a very good job at learning from life's challenges and quickly making those moments trainable so they can create stronger minded soldiers besides building their bodies. All of the history of these ships are built into their training programs, all the soldiers who where lost in these moments are never forgotten ❤️ They live on in every new SR who joins the family!
When I went through it in 1998 mine was the USS NEVERSAIL...i enjoyed that night started at 2200 and ended at 0700 had a ton of fun...all you had to do was not stop running from station to station and you would pass...GO NAVY!!!
I was in the Navy, 1966-69. And was stationed 2 years in Bremerton, on a Navy YTB. Every few months, we would go up to Whidbey Island, and tie up at the dock of the Naval Air Station. I never knew our reason for going there, but enjoyed our travels on the Puget Sound, and the places we stopped at.. We towed the decommissioned light Cruiser, USS Bremerton, all the way from the mouth of the Strait of Juan De Fuca, to Bremerton, with just a 6” braided nylon, 600’ towline. We took over from an Ocean-going tugboat. YTB 767 was equipped with radar, and sonar. I believe it YTB 767 was auctioned off, in 2006, to Ukraine. Her sister vessel, YTB 768 was scuttled at sea-used for target practice, before that time. If anyone has heard anything about YTB 767, contrary to this, please make a comment in here.
My son is doing battlestations next week! I was army but this is impressive that it's totally relivent and the emotional impact would I'm sure be impactful.
I wish back when I went through Navy Boot camp in '75, we would have done the Battle Stations, and graduated in the sailors bells uniform. Uniformity with the rest of the sailing fleet.
I served in the US NAVY for 7 years. I am a medically retired Lieutenant. At the time the USS Cole was attacked I was onboard the USS John L Hall(FFG-32) as Administration Officer and Officer on Deck in the middle of a Mediterranean Deployment when the dreaded Red Phone wrang. It was two different calls within one hour of each other. The first from the Secretary of the NAVY(SOTN) and then from the US Vice President (USVP). Both the SOTN and the USVP told myself,the XO,and then the CO about the attack. We rendezvoused with the floating dry dock ship carrying the USS Cole in Cairo Egypt and my ship the USS John L Hall was the lead ship of a 4 ship surrounding convoy to escort the USS Cole back to our home port at Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula MS to be repaired and sent back out to the fleet. My ship first hand toured the USS Cole to see all of the damage and then we immediately held damage control(DC) drills and those sailors who failed DC drills were dishonorably discharged out of the NAVY
Which UCMJ article(s) were those sailors who failed the DC drills dishonorably discharged? The Secretary of the Navy is traditionally shown as SECNAV, not SOTN. "Officer on Deck"? Don't you mean Officer Of the Deck (OOD).

but why do y'all have to show what it looks like inside battle stations this will ruin some the the new recruits bootcamp experience. smh i mean what is the page 13 that we sign for hmmm
Their carriers and primary fighter/attack aircraft are incredibly old, outdated and much less effective than our carrier force. Plus most of the PLAN does not have nearly the training or the equipment to deal with the US. Our technology is constantly improving while they basically just rip off old Russian designs. I think your a bit off with your assessment
But if our Western States secede from the Union, who is going to protect those States from invasion of Chinese, or Russian warships heading to our inland seaports? Once our Air National Guard begins to fight itself, we have lost our protective umbrella.

Hugo Ortiz Lol someone at my A-school had to do USS marlinspike battlestations when COVID was getting bad in the early stages of 2020.

I graduated Navy boot camp in early October 2003. Battle stations was definitely intense and brought all the training full circle by the end. HOOYAH!
Thank you for your service. Praying for our military.

So proud of what you have done with your life

I just graduated RTC today :)
When I went through Boot Camp in San Diego in 1970 we didn't have anything like Battle Stations. Seems very interesting.

ALL Blue Lifes matters

Battle station is easy
Fun as hell tho
It was way easier than I thought it’d be. Only thing for me was being tired ofcourse and how hot and sweaty I was
Taking a knee was the most difficult part lol
Man battle stations was boring 😂😂🤣
US Navy is declining, China is building more ships and modern technolgy replacing the US influence and power projection in the indo pacific. 😔
