Did just over 26 years -- good days outweighed the bad, for sure. Retirement does not suck! Keep up the good work, OfficialShim.
Your profile picture reminds me of my Dad's. He was on the USS JFK during Nam. As soon as he got out he threw away all of his stuff. Uniform, ribbons and everything. The other day I asked him why he did that and he told me it was because he was young and had a bad attitude and didn't like being told what to do. He said he regrets throwing all of his stuff out and wished he didn't. The other day I was at a Military surplus store and picked up one of the ribbons he had and gave it to him. Made him very happy! Donno if you'll read this but thank you for your service!
@@lettd0wn Thank you! And, please shake your father's hand for me. Serving during that time in our country's history was a challenge, for sure. I tip my hat to him and others like him.
@@ThomasGoering Will do sir!
@JESSE LAFOUNTAIN If you are a senior in high school, you can actually begin your processing now and ship after you graduate. Contact your local recrutier, and you can get questions answered through him/her, or you can use navy.com (they have a live chat you can use), or my site, navycs.com (I answer via email and comments to the various blog articles), too.
@@ThomasGoering I know this might seem stupid sir coming from a 7th grader, but I wanna become apart of the NAVY, But my family isn't very helpful about it they say stuff like "you can be a lawyer" and I don't know what to do. Also there's this thing call JR.rotc will that help my situation? Or is it mostly for army?
The blue camo so nice man
Kachi DaMan yes I hate they are getting rid of it, it definitely stands out
HAWG! You don’t wear camies on the ship
HAWG! Navy doesn’t say Semper fidelis, that’s marine corps
So cool, so they can't see when a seaman fall out the ship
Imone Hill why are they changing it to green?
My dad did 20 years in the Navy and felt the same way my man. Retired as a chief was the best experience of his life and glad to take the torch and enlist myself. Can’t wait for the experience thank you for the insight
My dad did 21 I’m doing the same!
Just e-7 after 20 years?
I can’t wait to join the navy either! I like to shove my thumb in my bum for fun so I should be perfect for the navy and fit right in!
A new con would be how you can no longer wear that nice Navy camo that everyone loves
Theres a new prototype floating around that might replace the green (type 3s)
Whyyyy. The blue is so nice
Goodbye blueberrys :(
they said there were issues with the type I fabric, i was thinking they could’ve used the type III fabric with the type I (blueberry) pattern. The blueberry camouflage definitely stood out. The color palette used was aesthetic.
Personally i like the blue
Four things to always remember as a leader.
1) Being “unapproachable” is the worst quality to have.
2) Never forget the times when you didn’t know.
3) Stay humble (kind of goes with #1&2)
4) Never make the mistake of thinking you can’t learn from everybody, even those under your command.
Young man you put out a great video. As a retired Chief you made me very proud how you conducted yourself and your personal views were spot on. We were all junior Sailors at one time and we all had to embraced the suck at some point. Meaning no matter what we all had to endure some stupid BS rules that we didn't agree with. Some advice...get your ESWS or EAWS pin, start studying for advancement and get that Crow. Give your all everyday and put out 100%. Remember the only thing that we truly own in this life is our Last Name. Have everyone remember Alark as one of their most motivated and outgoing Sailors and who knows one day you could be a CMC or even the MCPON making the crazy rules of eating soup with a knife..lol. I wish you the all best of luck, stay safe, and keep charging. Retired HMC(FMF/SW/AW).
Thank you for the insight Chief , as of now I’m just trying to make the best of my command and I have my EAWS pin and most of my qualifications, I plan on getting my Surface this upcoming underway before leaving to go back to A school but I’m definitely going to keep charging. Thank You❗️And thanks for your service 🇺🇸
Hooyah chief baby doc here
Jay Olson isn’t a chief an e7?
@@ayedriantee aren't all chiefs petty officers too?
Carson Brewer idk lol I know nothing about the navy except an e7 is a big deal
7 years in the Navy, ended as a PO2. You WILL remember the good over the bad! Good videos man.
I’m thinking about joining but I am worried about ptsd and back/knee pains. Should I be worried about that?

Dude I'm an ex Marine been out since 1993.. You did the best video I've seen brah! You have a winner personality... You are going far Navy or Not.. Great job lil brah!
What would u recomend to a young high school girl to go... Marine Corp or Navy?
Gods Child Navy don’t go to the Corps
@@andyvelez3822 Air Force first, Navy second.
No such thing as an ex-Marine.
Once a marine always a marine. I gotta question your integrity on this sir.
As someone who just made the decison to enlist in the Navy, and now beginning the research and work to get ready for it, I'm so grateful to have found this video! Thank you for sharing, honestly!
how it it now, did you join?
“Ya we gon mop the rain today “😂😂
That's in the army

You got it easy try the army out bro
@@texasthib2029 you got it easy try out the marines bro
got out in the navy in 6 years as an E-4 now making 6 figures life is good...Use that GI BILL
How'd you get to that point?
Yeah how’d you get to that point?
@@Underliner07 1)got rid of my PS4/XBOX/videogames/netflix/amazonprime/spofity/any subscription/TV/crap stuff/loser friends/alcohol/relationship
2) lived minimal/read + watch a book, podcast, audiobook , selfhelp, self study videos/workout.
3) have a plan when getting out, save as much $$$ as you can
4) SUCKY PART while on activeduty. for the last 3 years I never go out if I really NEEDED to. Focus on school-work, college plans, networking, finding resources as a veteran transitioning, take a SAT/ACT/ EDX course/cousera course/PLAN ON GETTING OUT
5)Went to a community college did not use the GI BILL yet. Knock out your transfer requirements. Take a STEM degree (just my opinion)...be minimal as possible. No RELATIONSHIPS! Stay single!...Went reserve but left cuz you do all your admin check list during you free time while not getting paid. reserve is a waste of time #timeismoney #justmyopinion
6) got accepted to CAL BERKELEY in Computer Science used my GI BILL...got in internship in silicon valley, internship salary btw is around $7k per month..Used the GI BILL for getting a masters. Then now making 6 figures started dating girls in their 20s.
MOST IMPORTANT INVEST ON YOURSELF, not your wife,brother,sister,mom,dad,girlfriend,boyfriend,uncle,yourdog,themailman, YOU
Jasonism Wow man how’d you go that far with no social interaction??
Same here. 5 years got out as E5 and making 6 figures AND I’m able to go home every day. Life’s great.
“Get prescribed some Motrin” lmaoo that’s exactly how it is
Cesar shit had me dead
Cesar facts lmao
The only thing medical is really good for is getting cured for an STD when you're coming back from Liberty. Of course the throw to that is medical seems to always lose your paperwork
Big facts lol

Im thinking about joining. Kind of nervous. Gotta get in shape first
Gene Hutson right because right now I am not in shape like I should be
Gene Hutson same! how is it going for you ?
I'm doing the same thing
@@mherrera1162 its still going. Vetting weights today to lift. Last year I was so built. Could run 10 miles without stopping. I let myself go. It would be an honor to serve our country.
Same here
Shim, as a retired NCC (recruiter type) who spent 27 years in service, I like what you are doing!!!! Consider recruiting duty! I think that you would be good at it and it can be a career booster!
great video my guy
Thanks bro
I was expecting you to be here, lol What good JT.
JTsuits JT!!!!! Ily
"go out there and mop the rain" 🤣
It's great to see informative videos like this that weren't available 30 years ago. Thank you for your service young man!
Great video! I’ve served in the Navy for 24 years now and the best lesson you’ll learn is formulating your own leadership style.
Pro: You’ll interact with all walks of life in the Navy and learn a lot from them. VA Home loans, free college, support services of all types not just for you, also family.
Con: Personal space is very limited, especially on a ship no matter the size. Announcements, Bells, Pipping, Talking, Aircraft taking off/landing, your sleep time is definitely another Sailors work time.
All of these examples are my interactions, they are probably different from person to person.🤷🏽♂️
Stay blessed!
Lots of VD especially in PI . Dirt bags and skaters
“BUT I GOT A SPOON!!” 😂😂😭😭 bruh I would be heated
You understand internal politics. I can tell that you'll do well in the Navy.
How u mean?
More like pros and cons of joining the military overall tbh, not just the navy.
Yeah, cuz those marines gotta go out on the deck and mop up the rain too.
Steven Jones 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
why would somebody speak on everything as an overall if they don’t experience everything and potentially end up confusing or misleading someone???
@@djontrai exactly
Pros - None
Cons - it’s the navy
(Kidding ❤️ )
Great video keep it up!!
😂
From an Air Force vet, respect to you for serving the world's most badass Navy.
Bro I miss the navy so damn much. Some of the best times of my life, without even realizing it at the time
Should I join the navy I’m 17 what should I expect if I were to join
@@AntWok27 did you join?
The spoon metaphor is SO accurate
Idek how to swim why am I watching this lol
Edit: I ship February 5th lol and no I still don’t know how to swim i should probably get lessons before I go
Edit edit: I just graduated! It was a lot easier than I thought it would be if yah have any questions I’m here to answer them!
They will teach you. It’s not hard just gotta push through the fear
U will be surprised how many ppl dont know how to swim and is on active duty 🤣🤣🤣. Iron duck gang
they will attempt to teach you at basic
lmao man i said the same thing but i made it through and served my 8 years. If you really wanna try go ahead and step up to the challenge. Just dont expect it to be easy.
bruh u gotta swim? I know how but I’m scared imma get pulled under water by some shit. yeah idk bout the navy now
"You are now forced to eat your soup with a knife". My dude, the level of accuracy in that statement blows my mind. I have been in the Navy for 9 years and just made first class. I always appreciate how accurate the input can be from new sailors. Your video will help a bunch of people.
That soup metaphor spoke straight to my soul bro...not military but same ish applies in corporate life
People with too much time on their hands get in trouble easily so all that pointless work is to keep you busy. It also makes the time go by faster. There is nothing worse than spending your day doing nothing. The major pro you left out is your access to learning. Studying for the next higher rank and learning a useful skill like computer science, electronics, electrical or mechanics all for free. These are high paying jobs in civilian life. The other is security. You really have to try hard to get stabbed, shot or become a crime victim. In many U.S. cities this is a constant threat. I think the younger you are the harder it is to live the military life. You'll find that as you mature partying and risky behavior becomes much less appealing. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and may God bless you and everyone you love.
"BUT I GOT A SPOON" 😂😂 idk why I found that part so funny
My favorite part of this was the soup analogy... Best of luck in your career. Stay positive and offer your leadership solutions to the problems you encounter everyday. As a division officer I valued my junior enlisted's feedback! Be the one that your chain of command never has to worry about. Once they give you something they know it's done without having to follow up on it.
Cons:dying,water is scary
Pros:taking off from an aircraft carrier,FAST BOI
It’s hell on earth with a kickass uniform
Can you expand
Dollar Change lmao
😂😂😂
sounds like the perfect thing for someone who has no other resort after school
Nizz is Nice I’m about to find out
I am a Disabled Navy Veteran. Ty for serving our country. This video was spot on; hopefully you will become MCPON or an Admiral! Pass that advancement test and get those EAWS quals! God speed! Safe travels!
That spoon , fork and knife analogy is relatable. I’m in the marine corps and that shit happens daily . Every time I know I’m right and I could do something better a nco always say do it in another way that’s stupid asf
Haha me at my job definitely frustrating I'm 17 and these people cant run a restaurant after 20 years I'm going back to school since I got the opportunity
That happens everywhere. The benefit you got in the navy is that you’re getting paid more for wasting your/their time (I guess).
Yes two year mark 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Time be flying 😂

Good morning. I am a new subscriber. My son and I started watching your videos a few months ago. He has been in bootcamp a little over a month now, and has already written me about these very things you speak of in your video. Thank you for being such an inspiration to others. I can tell you have been raised right..thank GOD for your humility and kind spirit. I pray for your strength as well as all others fighting for our country!!! #GODSPEED ♡
Thank you for your support & kind words❗️I’m glad I could help, and I’ll say a early congratulations to your son since he’s made it through the hardest part already 💪🏼
@@OfficialShim Thanks so much...I needed to hear that!!!!
How YOU doing ?
I joined the navy and backed out because they were trying to give me an apprentice type job. Now im with the USAF doing what i love. Best decision i ever made. Guys make sure you do an immense amount of research on the branches.
What are some things to research? I think the basics are what each does, but what are the deeper questions?
What type of job were they trying to give you? (Anything specific?)
Hey young man. You're starting to get the hang of enlisted life. I keep the hardheadedness and emotions out of your military job and you'll be a Master Chief one day.
I did twenty-three honorable years and retired as a Chief. You present yourself well, you are articulate and smart enough to make notes for the video. Job well done. Don't take orders personally and keep those young man emotions in check. Proud to say you and I are/we're in the same US Navy! God bless you and your loved ones son. You're never alone. Keith
Shipping on October 2nd, wish me luck!
cole631999 what did you need to do to get ready for it ??

Edluis Rivera It is mot hard to spell... also Google exists for those too illiterate to sound it out.
Excellent video, Alark. I completely understand where you come from with the cons, such as leadership. I have seen good and bad leadership in the Navy and I try to take what I learned from good leaders and give them the kind of leadership I would like to work for. Unfortunately there are leaders who don't care about anyone but themselves out there, but I hope the poor leaders don't ever form your opinion on the entire Navy. Anyway, whether you stay in or get out, enjoy your time and don't ever let the cons of the Military get you down. At the end of the day, the Military life is only temporary. We were all civilians before and we will all be civilians again. Just go out there and do your job to the best of your ability and acquire some skills and take those with you whenever you decide to leave the service.
As another Navy dude living in Japan, I second this video. You don't have to be 100% Hooyah Navy but you should fulfill the promises of your contract. That's the best way to keep those post-navy opportunities open. I'm getting out in a few months and I strongly recommend sticking it out and finishing strong so that when you want a government (better) job paying way more, you will have the option. Otherwise, enjoy the place you're at, but don't let that cause a bad mark on your record that is irreversible.
Giannis Antetokounmpo joined the navy 😂
imagine like aircraft carriers had basketball courts that you could play on and there was like a league
💀💀💀💀💀
My son just join the Navy and I shared your video with him. I think that you are passionate and transparent about your job in the Navy I am a disabled Army Vet. Keep up the good work and you will make your dream come true.

@@mariohernandez9608 boot camp was stressful, but not hard IF you want it
GamingElke Is it worth getting into the military I’m having second thoughts
Great video! I definitely experienced the hair thing in boot camp I felt like most of the Petty Officers and chiefs would say that all the people of color needed to fix our hair when our hair was already fixed and then grab someone not of color as an example of what our hair “should” look like when every ethnicity has a different hair texture.. anyways that kind of stuff is found at any job so it’s just one of those things you have to charge it the streets... congrats on 2 years in though!
Days where you can’t wait to leave vs days where it’s “kinda cool” 😂yeah I’m straight on that
“You gone do them years”😂😂
Originally I wanted to become an engineer, until I started to watch some RUclipsrs that are in the marine/navy. Seeing this video inspired me more to become a marine officer. I’m only 14 and still have a long wait to go, but I want to achieve like you.

Thank you for everything you do for us.It's too easy to take your service for us for granted. You guys DEFINITELY deserve a day off. Monday through Monday,that's too much. 🙏Thanks again for all that you do.
My recruiter made it sound so good to join the Navy. Still thinking about it though..hahaha
I've been in for about 5 years. You should, there are alot of good opportunities that could help you with a career....it has its ups and downs but at the end of the day, it's what you make of it. Everyone's experience is going to be different.
I am definitely considering it. Thanks!!
Daisy Roma did you do it?
Warriors fan 303569 Dub nation i didn’t but I know people that wanted to join so I gave my recruiter their numbers
It all depends on the leadership. At sea, long days strung all together for weeks at a time. In port, I always rewarded my guys with plenty of time off when we're not at sea. Some leadership feels it's more important to always work hard so that the division can earn points for their leaders.
my boyfriend left for bootcamp a week ago, i’m trying to educate myself to be there for him. we were both bummed there’s no more blue uniforms lol. i hope he loves it as much as he’s hoping.

Spoon and fork reference spot on, Marine veteran 11yrs, and yeah Your going to do those years when you sign that contract. USMC (You Signed the Motherfucking Contract)
If you’re “laid back and lazy” and you like that about yourself I am being recommended to the Air Force a lot but I’m more interested in something else
Air Force is easiest, navy gives you the most travel, marines are the most hard core and the army... is the army.

Cool video I was in the Army for 6 yrs now I'm going to join the Navy.
I'm actually going back to the Army I have MEPS this upcoming week
Pimpishone why did you decide to go back to the army instead of joining the navy?
As soon as you said you’re from Baltimore, you had me hooked😂
I grew up in the projects to a single mom and me, my brother, and sister all in one room. Did ok in high school, not great, worked jobs in my free time, and joined the Navy just to get out of Dodge. Every day, those first four years, I'd swear under my breath about getting out, but the bastards kept promoting me. Made rank pretty quickly, Chief at 10 years, and then a few years later (after doing college at night when I wasn't deployed or on shore duty) got picked up for LDO and got a commission. I retired as a LCDR because I didn't want to stay longer to pay back time for O-5, but my opportunities were endless, and I'm grateful for the Navy. After service I was very much in demand as a civilian and worked as a Navy contractor but working with civilians will never be like my boys when I was in the big canoe club. Think long and hard about your options because as I fly around the world, I constantly talk to men and women about the regret they have for not staying in and doing something much bigger than themselves and many of them felt their life would've been better had they done so. Either way use your GI Bill and get where you want to go in life👍🇺🇲
Man Ive been in the Navy for 12 years and idk why but I appreciate this video alot.
As a former corpsman it is a great experience to travel the 7 seas. See the world for yourself. Meet new people. It’s a great job to have and serve your country at the same time.
However just remember you are the government’s property you will go where they need you. My time in the Navy was great however i have been in a combat zone with the Marine Corps. (Location classified). Horrific unforeseen events did occur. I will never forget.
HM (6) Disabled Veteran. USN
Go Navy !!!!
Building this channel based on your navy experience was genius. Great video!
Great video. I am a retired LCDR and started enlisted. I think you summed it up well and respectfully. Make the most of it!! You are already well ahead of your peers.

Him: names all the “countries” he’s been to
Also him: **names 2 cities and a continent**
Gamelife11 well australia is a country and a continent so he is right
I don’t think you watched the video he said he’s been to japan,Australia Korea and I think Hong Kong . Those two cities he was referencing was were he would travel before joining
Great video brodie. I'm out to bootcamp on the 6th. Stay grinding.

Chris Taylor same here bro, where you coming from?
@@louvenskycharles1797 study everything. wym? get your asvab book from the library. take the practice test. its as simple as that.

Keep going man, you've got a good head on your shoulders. I would of never gotten out of active duty if I could go back and do it again. Make sure you are 100% sure you're ready to get out before you make that final decision. Once again keep going man.
The blues the best bro.
The blues are on sale for 75% off now cause they are being phased out in October. I've been thinking about buying me a set just to have them.
@Nice. that's before my time.
@@theblackknight9783 I can actually see scenarios where they might work.
I'm deciding whether I am going to join air force or navy. I'm more interested in navy but I heard air force is more freedom and better hours. Any advice?
same
go Navy
In the Air Force (or naval aviation), a single tiny mistake could cost the lives of a pilot, possibly a crew, and a $20+ million aircraft.
Too high stakes for me to even think about getting involved.
Some of your cons are situational. I tell my division to get the job done and do it safely.... like the spoon and fork thing, if I see a Sailor doing something wrong I'll show them why is wrong, like if it's unsafe or can cause damage.
Keep up the good work, you're the future
Yo I'm a senior in high school and I'm about to officially enlist by going to MEPS next week 😣 the nervousness and reality is starting to hit me hard but I'm still feeling hella energized and go into the Navy lol

Can always change the cycle bro. You seem like a good dude. You can be that one NCO that actually regards what his junior guys have to say. Enjoy your videos, keep up the good work man 👍🤙

I was in the Navy also & was watching videos with my nephew bc hes interested in joining & came across your video. How ironic im from Baltimore also!!
Only did about 2 years before I got medically dropped from AW(aircrew) and got an honorable discharge, since I learned I was getting out I started going to medical for any issues I had and now I'm out with 50% disability, I'm only 24. About to use my VA loan to get a $350k house and I'm starting my own business soon, I definitely don't regret joining because of the tools they give you, mental and physical fortitude as well as the benefits. Wish I stayed in for my full contract but it is what it is, biggest mistake people make is when they get out they get lazy and I almost fell into that trap too.
Dude met the love of his life in Australia
