This young lady is very articulate, mature in her thinking and descriptive. So glad You Tube exist for this generation,so recruits can know what they're getting into.
My brother went in the Navy and a year later after HS I joined. After graduating OS A school, I lucked up and got orders to the USS Nimitz CVN 68 the ship my brother was stationed on. We both worked in OP'S DEPT. me OI DIV brother OE DIV.
I think you should stay in for 20 but if you decide to become a civilian again keep that discipline,work ethic, paying attention to detail,and being organized, you learned in the navy you'll be successful at everything you do as a civilian no one will ever be able to break you I'm telling you this from experience
Because I served in the navy as a civilian i got hired at the long beach naval shipyard after that I took my DD214 to the coast guard they gave me a us merchant mariner credentials I used that to sail on civilian merchant marine ships 14 years I retired my union book with the SIU Union now I'm working as a west coast longshoreman. It all started from the navy. This is just an example of what you can do after the navy
may i ask why staying in for 20 is better than the average 4 year contract ? i’m planning on going in 2021. i see people have different opinions on the navy so i just wanted to ask.
@@bre9111 You would be eligible for a pension after 20 years of active duty. Most people would be at pay grade E-7 by then and would get $2500 every month for the rest of their lives.
I'm ex navy 1979 - 1982 USS Guam LPH-9 Norfolk Virginia did Two deployments north Atlantic and Mediterranean I was also in gitmo Cuba two months. I'm proud of you and your navy career I love watching your videos bring back so many great memories
I had wanted to join the Navy, but unfortunately based on my score I got low rate jobs such as ABF, ABH, ABE, MM, AO, BM, PR. I was only fine with pr, but my rates that I qualified for it doesn't allowed me to join, cause I don't feel comfortable with them. I took the asvab again and scored lower, and was then told I can't retake the exam again, cause I scored lower in my second attempt, I'm banned from taking it in 3 years, the only way I could get in is with the job rates they offered me, but I'm going to have to pass
Thank You! I'm Navy mom! This Her first Dep. This is really cool hearing your story ! Blessings! Thank you for your sacrifice! You are doing some wise things!
I love your energy a pure MATURE WOMEN 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💋💋🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹DHATT...... I'm in Orlando Fla and working towards to become a U.S Navy Seal, thanks for all your videos it's helping me understand how to get NAVY ready. Thanks Girlie Back DHATT Up Boo 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I stumbled upon this video in my feed and I can't help but say how cute you are. I guess cause I've viewed several other Navy videos. I was in the Navy back in 1987-1991 straight from high school. You are right the Navy is definitely expanding cause Men and Women weren't even on ships together when I was in. I was in a squadron attached to the aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower and did 2 Mediterranean deployments in 4 years!! There was no social media or cell phones so...you guys have it a lot better than we did!
Bruh I was a Corpsman with the Marines, we had those crappy canvas racks and one locker that was maybe a square foot in space. One of my deployments on a gator freighter was the first deployment with females, we had like 5 in the ship and they were all officers.
Saved money as a youngin while I was in. Glad I set up an investment account right after bootcamp.. And you are on it and good luck on your journey hooyah!
In conclusion when you get out of the navy take your DD214 And your transcripts of sea service to the U.S. coast guard office they will give you a merchant marine credentials. There's lots of opportunities for you there also
my rate doesn’t go on ships, i’ve always been curious on how deployments work! i’m in 10th fleet (US Cyber Command) and never really knew what that meant. not exactly the same as one that would travel but gave me more insight. thanks for informative video!
Love your mindset! I’m definitely going to take of those major points that spoke to me. I ship off for Bootcamp March 1st. I’m excited for my 1st deployment!
I'm going through the process of joining the navy and you help me so much! I go to MEPS Sunday and Monday and I'm in Dallas so it'll wish me luck! Also the duck walk sucks =_=
Thank you for sharing! It's nice seeing updates on your experience in the navy, gives someone like me a lot of information I need right now. Welcome back and keep doing you ❤
Hi Z! Great video! What about a What to pack for deployment video and those bunk lights are epic, I’d love to know where I could purchase them. Xo glad you had a save trip and returned home safely as well!
A recruiter can tell you what jobs there are in the navy that you'd qualify for once you complete the asvab. Google navy bootcamp jobs. Other recent recruits have made tons of videos.
Wanted to join, but unfortunately I'm banned from taking the asvab again since I scored lower in 2nd try. If I would have scored higher in my 2nd try they would have allowed me to retest, I'm banned for the next like 3 years until they switch management/supervisor. I could still enlist with the rates they offered me based on my score, but I don't feel comfortable with those rates they are aviation jobs.
Thanks for posting this video. It was enlightening and offered some insights into some of the daily experiences on a ship while deployed. As a civilian I would have never thought about movie night, steel picnic (this is probably not accurate) but the idea of having picnics on a ship with all of those actives while on deployment. I also enjoyed the way you educated me about the different kinds of ships and regions that they are responsible for etc. I took note of the book that you showed and wrote it down I like material like that. Do you plan to make the Navy a life time career? Also, can you elaborate on the psychological process you go through when you return home. I will keep looking out for your videos. I realize that this is one of your older videos.
Hey girl! Going on my 1st deployment in March . This video answered all of my questions except what size those bins are?!? I love to be organized and that’s definitely gonna help. Please lmk , thank you in advance!
They sell those bins at the nex it’s the only size they have that look like that ! They’re like 1$ , I don’t have them anymore so I don’t know the dimensions exactly
May i ask where you got those too little push on lights button under your bunk bed for your compartments, and also for the side of your bed when u read?
Thanks for sharing, any advice for some who’s about to go for their deployment right after A school (snipes), I literally don’t know what to pack for 8-9 months living on board of DDG, please advice OS2
Okay so. That’s not how it works. Basically your never a civilian. You have periods when your at sea and at shore but even at shore you still work everyday on the ship. Your just not out on the water. And you get paid regardless your on a salary
@@ZENEZ ohhh ok makes sense thank you, also you’re videos are really helpful i’m 16 and in the uk and hopefully i can join so i really need to learn more. thank you!! :)
Thank you so much for these videos. They have really opened my eyes to the possibility of enlisting after college is done. I have a question, are you allowed to bring books on deployment ?
WAIT YOU CAN STOP YOUR LEASE WHEN YOU DEPLOY??? And when you get back do you get the same car again and have to start all over? Do u re start your monthly payment
I was already liking her then when she said she rather take her money and invest it I started liking her even more😩 I hope I see her when I get stationed on one of the ships😩🤞🏾💍

Most detailed and unbiased view of a Navy deployment I’ve heard in awhile, a lot of good information here.
I sailed with the merchant marine 14 years traveled to more countries and made a lot more money. The United States navy opened up that door for me god bless America
Could you do a "Day in the life" type vid so people that are interested in your rate can know more about it
Security clearance dictates she cannot do that.
yeah shes not allowed to do that...

Becoming a registered nurse in the navy do u get deployed on the ship as well ?
Assuming you are talking about Corpsman or HM it is rare to get deployed on a ship because of how many people have that job

How long are deployments ?
It can vary, but usually the average deployment is about 3-6 months

do you get paid off duty? like when your not on the ship and living as a civilian do you still get paid?

WAIT YOU CAN STOP YOUR LEASE WHEN YOU DEPLOY??? And when you get back do you get the same car again and have to start all over? Do u re start your monthly payment
