being in the navy I would highly recommend you bring a usb powered fan for hot places. and as weird as it sounds I would 100% bring velcro!! I cant tell you how helpful it is. hanging your fan. hanging a coozie to hold your drinks. and most importantly, hanging your phone while watching a movie so you don't have to hold your phone for hours. there are tons of other things but those are just a few that I've found.
Yo shim I’m a future sailor and I fly out to boot camp tomorrow your vids definitely has me well prepared I’m ready for this next chapter and maybe we’ll cross paths who knows but another great vid fam keep it up!
I use straight talk mobile international unlimited so I can make cell phone calls when I land somewhere. I usually can call from where ever I land and its unlimited data
You are a SAINT for passing on so many tips from your experiences. Bless you. LoL I'm about to go underway for the first time. I brought seasonings, dry foods, snacks, thin towels, a bathrobe (from another video of yours), a thin bathmat, etc. Aye, thanks for the tip on downloading the VLC movie player; I bought a tablet specifically for this deployment & did NOT even think to download an app to play the dang movies on. What a tragedy that would have been, LOL
Wanted to add on: Bring every uniform item, and at least four pairs of coveralls. You’ll be wearing coveralls daily. If you’re E4+ it might make things easier to get your crows sewn onto your coveralls, instead of bringing the metal ones. Also: - Attachable rack light - Portable charger/power outlet - A few pairs of headphones, wired and Bluetooth (whatever ur preference is) - Vitamins, Advil, Tums, Tylenol, etc. - A lot of deodorant (ur shipmates will appreciate it) - Mini Portable fan in case it gets too hot in the berthing - Crocs or a few pairs of shower shoes (shit gets lost or stolen) - A few different civilian outfits for ports
Twin Memory foam topper and cut to rack size to sleep comfortably. Get a mat to put in the middle of your rack to prevent dirt getting on your rack. People accidentally step on your rack to get to theirs. Bring toilet paper because I have seen where they run out in berthing. If it’s the middle of the night you might need some. Get an eye mask if you don’t have black out curtains
OfficialShim you think softee is better than Hanes? I always take Hanes over all uniform shirt especially dress uniforms. Ive also been doing this a while now.😂😂😂
Basically yes. I don't know how it is in the military, but if you're deep sea the only communication is a satellite phone, and that's mega expensive. As soon as you get in port you're going to want to go to the Seaman's mission or an internet cafe or somewhere with wifi so you can e-mail home. I guess if you're on a submarine it's even worse.
SteamboatWilley completely untrue... satellite phones on a ship are for emergency purposes only and there will only be a couple depending on the ship. when you’re on a ship there is an internet connection (very slow but still internet) you won’t have wifi to use your personal devices but there are many computers around the ship for you to log in and contact your family at almost all times of the day depending on the situation of things.
get in contact with your nearest recruiter! you need to be 17-18 depending on the applicant.. but again the recruiter will take you through all of that.
lol super late but whatever. you have to carry it all on board, usually by yourself but I usually start taking stuff on board a month before we get underway. Also if you are wondering how you store it all then that's simple. when you arrive to the ship you get your rack. 4 choices, top rack (you get a big locker and a small locker, look them up to see the sizes). you can get a middle rack/ no coffin rack (same thing), middle rack/ coffin rack (small locker and a rack that trices up to reveal a full locker underneath the bed, look it up if confused lol) and a bottom rack, same as middle rack except they are all coffin racks with small lockers. all have their own perks and draw backs but it's all personal preference. hope that helps you or someone else reading it.
水 Stephen 水 well, lets say you about to go on deployment ya dig, and you still got Spotify premium, a Netflix account something like that, well you go on deployment they’ll still charge you, and you don’t get to go on Netflix, call or text or listen to music online, it’ll waste your money ya know. I said he should of made a disclaimer or even a separate video of just warnings.
Gotta join the Air Force if you want WiFi and phone service on deployment. The best you’ll get with the Navy is crappy internet in your work center and a phone card that you have to pay for to make calls back home.
I be making beats and shit and I plan on enlisting soon. Will I still be able to cookup while on deployment and possibly even upload to youtube? Much love ✌🏽❤️
I haven’t seen too many vids so idk if you’ve done this before but I’m glad to see you in your own merch vs your uniform. Promote yourself! Get to the bag 💰💯 !! Shirt is fire !!
Back up Shower shoes and a good flash light. That berthing will be dark a lot. Your own supply of Isopropyl alcohol to disinfect your toiletries and whatever. I can go on and on.
@@misswiseguy The berthing will be dark the majority of the time due to people sleeping. The red light is not as bright as white so you don't wake up your neighbors.
Hey Shim, what are the religious items you are able to have in bootcamp? I have a small silver cross necklace can I wear that? Shipping Jan 6th 2020 AM
Can you still smoke on the ship? Guys who smoked used to fill their racks with cartons of cigs. Running out of smokes on a deployment was never fun for those guys.
YFN Tygold I got buddies in Pensacola and that place sounds a lot more fun but trust me A schools a lot more chill as long as you get your shit done and are on top of your stuff
Wow the navy have changed since I left in 2010. Storage on board is a locker, your rack and the seabag locker. Also, if you are a small boy; you will not have access to do your laundry. It is group laundy. The SHs over pack laundry and people steal tshirt and underwear. Carry extra packs and store them in the sea bag locker. On a carrier you are limited to hours, days and usually 1 load. Wash your undergarments then. Put your uniforms in the ships' wash. Carry cans of dip and cigarettes. During a long deployment the ship store will run out and it is a easy way to make alot of money. Also, leave some space for souvenirs. Ship them home when you get back to home port.If you don't have your ESWS pin. Get it. You are fucking up if you don't and finish your DC quals for the love of God.
All your uniforms, toiletries, headphones, workout clothes, underwear, socks, and a couple of civilian clothes if you happen to have liberty in other countries you're visiting.
Dont forget to bring Headphones or earbuds so if your bunk mates are trying to sleep and you are watching a movie or show you dont wake them up
cody danz noise cancelling headphones 🎧🤗
He's so cute
Right! And then a backup pair as well.
Can you make a video of “things I wish I knew before joining the navy or going to boot camp?”

Twin Memory foam topper and cut to rack size to sleep comfortably. Get a mat to put in the middle of your rack to prevent dirt getting on your rack. People accidentally step on your rack to get to theirs. Bring toilet paper because I have seen where they run out in berthing. If it’s the middle of the night you might need some. Get an eye mask if you don’t have black out curtains
Even if you don't chew, a roll of dip. At times they will run out at the store. you can make some coinage, or trade favors.
Im bringing a suitcase for deployment aint big at all but its a suitcase, where can i put my suitcase?
I don't know when you'll see this but what would be a good pillow?

Yo how many bags you trying to bring?
It depends on how well you can pack stuff into your rack and if you have any extra storage space in your work center
Bro, Shim has the best outros. Frfr
i got my asvab tomorrow love the videos!
You should make a Whats in my bags video
What about a portable hotspot?
I got some Hanes brown shirts 4 pack for 13 instead of softee 3 pack for 18
You will soon regret lol pay a little extra for better quality
OfficialShim you think softee is better than Hanes? I always take Hanes over all uniform shirt especially dress uniforms. Ive also been doing this a while now.😂😂😂
My boy on that video grind !!
Where do you get your haircut when you deploy?
Your videos are really helpful. I had the chance to meet you in the galley and your a really nice guy. Keep it up.
Can’t wait to leave December 30th!!!
What are some great sites to down load movies and TVs shows from?
So do you have absolutely no way of communicatin to the outside world when on a ship?
Basically yes. I don't know how it is in the military, but if you're deep sea the only communication is a satellite phone, and that's mega expensive. As soon as you get in port you're going to want to go to the Seaman's mission or an internet cafe or somewhere with wifi so you can e-mail home. I guess if you're on a submarine it's even worse.

Can you bring laptops and can you use your own phones wifi
Why you have two phones also what your job in the navy while underway
Also how much longer u got in the navy
My biggest regret was not bringing a mattress foam, springs on the mattress make it horribly uncomfortable
Loving the often videos! Keep em coming!
What should my son pack for boot camp?
Dollar tree puts out those old school safety razors. The pack has the razor and pack of 5 blades.
My dad went on a 6 month deployment to Singapore and hes leaving in 2021 in the summer for a year deployment to Djibouti Africa have you ever been?
666dram facts like bro don’t be sayin shit like that online 😂
Honey mustard for the win!!!
what is theswimming distance required to pass the fitness test before and after boot camp and how hard is drownproofing?
You still need it my guy
What's the very first step in the process to join the Navy and what's the minimum age?
get in contact with your nearest recruiter! you need to be 17-18 depending on the applicant.. but again the recruiter will take you through all of that.

Can you go more in-depth about the gyms on the ship
Shim, asking for my boy who’s in GL right now. How do u get all this on the ship in your own personal space?
lol super late but whatever. you have to carry it all on board, usually by yourself but I usually start taking stuff on board a month before we get underway. Also if you are wondering how you store it all then that's simple. when you arrive to the ship you get your rack. 4 choices, top rack (you get a big locker and a small locker, look them up to see the sizes). you can get a middle rack/ no coffin rack (same thing), middle rack/ coffin rack (small locker and a rack that trices up to reveal a full locker underneath the bed, look it up if confused lol) and a bottom rack, same as middle rack except they are all coffin racks with small lockers. all have their own perks and draw backs but it's all personal preference. hope that helps you or someone else reading it.

Naughty Knights wym?
水 Stephen 水 well, lets say you about to go on deployment ya dig, and you still got Spotify premium, a Netflix account something like that, well you go on deployment they’ll still charge you, and you don’t get to go on Netflix, call or text or listen to music online, it’ll waste your money ya know. I said he should of made a disclaimer or even a separate video of just warnings.
Naughty Knights yeah but couldn’t you download the shows/songs?

You don’t have to cancel it just put it on a military suspension
