The chief in the first pic was one of our substitute RDCs when i went through. He is a great guy, very good at what he does.
Chief Bevan was awesome and is definitely not a petty officer😂 hope to see him again one day, “very well”
Idk why I watch all of these when I've been in the fleet for 6 months already
Are we missing anything you think we should cover?
going to basic on the 13th and ive been binging your videos like crazy. super informative stuff, appreciate it.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great info thanks a lot. Definitely never been explained to me, leaving in a week!. In USMC recruit training I only had firewatch 1hr during night if was my night (rotated about every 2 days or so) or if you're house watch which was you didn't go to chow for whatever reason or volunteered not to and you watch the house (barracks) with another recruit, cleaning, while everyone is at chow.
Completely accurate. When I was in the Navy I’ve experienced it all. From no duty sections because we would just lock up the ship to standing 3 duty sections which was absolute hell. As a Undes we were able to drive the ship, but the officer would give us direction not really a qual for driving it other than shadowing with our pqs I do think that they should’ve taught us that at a school though instead of learning what color do we paint certain areas of the ship 😂. I’m currently in the process of rejoining the Navy and going active duty since I took a year off because I wanted to experience that GI Bill which is kick ass I’m getting 3100 a month in B&H just for school. I miss the commodity and I’m looking forward to rejoining the fleet and a 3rd class 💪🏼💪🏼⚓️
You mentioned Hawaii and wearing Whites while on QD watch. I was stationed there from 2000-2003 and we wore, at the time Summer Whites for all QD watchstanders. Unless the ship was in CMAV or the yards; in that case it was utilities for E6 and below and wash khakis for E7 and above.
And for the record the old utilities sucked... they required constant ironing just to be presentable and were super uncomfortable. The switch to the NWUs was much more efficient.
Thank you for your service!
I enjoyed underway watch standing. I stood both helm and Lee helm on Battleship New Jersey, along with standing lookout underway. The first time standing watch in the armored citadel took a bit to get used to, as you couldn’t see outside. There were slits through the armor, but aside from seeing the Captain or the OOD walking outside the citadel on the bridge, you couldn’t make anything else out. You just watched the gyro repeater and kept the ship on course. There’s nothing quite like driving a 58,000 ton, 900 foot long ship…Just pretty darn cool!! 🇺🇸⚓️
Thank you for your service!

Thank you for your service as well!! 🇺🇸⚓️
They'll be standing plenty of watches alright. Watches are maybe the most serious thing any military ever does. Which also means standing a derelict watch is an opportunity to get in the most serious trouble of a lifetime. During the Korean war, an entire US Army platoon was bayoneted in their sleeping bags. It was determined because the watch fell asleep.
The Navy sure has changed, I remembered 8 Duty Section. The only time we had collapsed duty (4 duty section) was during the Holiday winter Stand down. Also to note that when it comes to go underway some rates continue standing 12 hour watch rotations.
Agreed. The changes are recent due to incidents such as the USS Bonhomme Richard. More watches means smaller duty sections with more people. Especially smaller ships.
4 duty section was completely normal for us. I served on a Spruance-class destroyer from 1979 until 1983.
My son is currently in medical THU at BC and doing 8 hours night watches
Yes, bootcamp watches are short due to the fact that they are limited in any activity that takes them away from training. however, watches themselves are still training. so they are not eliminated but are within reason. If he is in THU, then he has graduated. Which means that he is a sailor and sailor stand the watch
Shore commands also stand watch. I was stationed at the Weapons base in PH and the watch was 24hours carrying a cellphone and doing rounds driving around the base and pier. Also, opening and locking up certain buildings for the civilian support. We were pretty much on call by ourselves. What I didn’t like was going home and not having anything go on all night then 3 AM phone call from base security because a someone didn’t lock up and sounded the alarm. So driving back to base to check the door that had a work order to fix the damn latch on the door that’s been there for months. But yes watch standing is part of life. Watch standing, cleaning stations, Engineering/Fire Drills, cleaning stations, painting, berthing cleaners, cleaning stations again, then your normal job in that exact order of priority. All while trying to find time to get your qualifications and your pin while all you want to do is chill after a long day.
Quarterdeck can also be the main entry desk of the (formerly called) BEQ, or Basic Enlisted Quarters, which is the lodging facilities for single sailors, usually paygrade E6 and below.
True. It can really be used for any military installation.
I remember back in boot camp I got pulled from Starboard (Compartment watches) because of how bad I was at it because of the questions my sister div RDC's would ask it was a pain. So when I got told I was put on ship staff, I was like huh what's that? When I stood those watches JOOW, JOOD, & MOOW me personally on JOOW I owned that sh1t when I was fixing the ships deck logs I was scared most time's because of so many damn mess ups. At one point there was an RDC who was OOD came up from behind me said "hey recruit what are you doing? Here put this in there for the UOD/Temp flags" I said I'm fixing these logs and aye aye Petty Officer I breathed in deeply thinking that was gonna be my asz but he was like carry on recruit. So I did from being a Junior to most Senior div in the ship of Ship 09 it was quite fun honestly then I got to A School Fort Gregg-Adams, VA..... Omfg I've NEVER in my damn life have had to go over ships deck logs like it was my job dotting down emergencies (EMS/MP's) and instructor's arriving/departing..... Also challenging watchstanders😂
That cheif in the start of the video he was my RDC before he made Cheif that is nice
In my memory we almost always had 4-section duty in port, sometimes 3-section. Hated it.
Yeah we were 6 section for a bit. But lately it seems like everyone is 4 section
Not me watching this video while on chow relief from the QD at NMTSC 😂
i’m stuck on whether i want to go to the navy for a couple years and advance to be a seal, or go to the army and be a ranger but i heard u should go to the army because if u don’t make the ranger selection u will still get put into infantry and combat, rather than navy where i would probably chip paint if i don’t make it and not go into anything with combat
The Marines are always an option too. As much as inner service rivalry exists, I must say I have a lot of respect for Rangers. If you are joining to do anything with Naval special warfare, the best advice I can give is swim, swim, & swim some more, and that includes if you join as a Corpsman and want to do anything special with the Marines as well.
I would say to join as a Corpsman, because when I was in the Navy, if a Corpsman didn't pass BUD/S for one reason or another, they could get sent to a Marine unit... but from my understanding, BUD/S is now an A-school, so you may not have a rate if you join up and go straight into the SEAL pipeline and if that's true, you would most likely find yourself undesignated.
Thank you for looking to serve and good luck to you, any one of those training pipelines is extremely difficult, and with that being said, don't get discouraged if you fail the first time. I know of plenty of good operators from SEAL's, to Rangers, to ODA to Raider Marines to PJ's who didn't pass on their first attempt, some it took more than 2 even.
So your comment is a little vague but i will try to give you info best we can. If you want to go SEAL, best is to be prepared mentally and physically right off the bat and go in to the Navy as such. Those are 800 divisions. The army allows you to do the same. But if you fail out, then yes, you will become undesignated in the Navy or infantry in the army. Hope that helps.
Yes as a recruiter you have opportunity to qualify CDO if you stationed near HQ
I really do appreciate your videos, I’m planning on going in the Navy after I finish my GED (High school me was not grown up). I’m primarily looking at the EOD pipeline as it seems the most interesting and engaging job for my interests but I’m worried that my GED might present poorly, regardless of my ASVAB score.
Am I worrying myself over nothing? I have other pipelines as a backup but I 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 don’t want to go undesignated and I have my mind and heart set on EOD.
Additionally, what other general advice do you have for a new enlisted?
And apologizes for the novel, again I really do appreciate your videos and they always get me excited and really help reinforce that I’m making the right decision.
No worries, your asvab score mostly reacts to what positions are available to you. but if you talk to your recuriter (and clarify to them that you want EOD) they will tell you what you need for that position. hope this helps
At what point do y'all do sensitivity training? Y'all need to work on driving ships. Seems like the Navy crashes them allot these days
collision on ship are due to failure of watch standing
@@theequalsgamer2074 either way, the US Navy, and military in general is shit. Look at their recruiting numbers. And crashing warships in port isn't a good look regardless of who is responsible.
What are the recruits doing day 10?
Any chance you can do a video on MA ?
Can you please do a video dedicated to explaining A school and exactly what it is. 🙏🏽
depends on your rate, but it’s probably the best time you’ll have in your life lol
it’s just a schoolhouse where you learn, maybe pt, and i didn’t have to study in my freetime so i got to go to the gym often and the beach
I can describe it like this. Boring. Nukes do a pretty cool one, but you have to be really smart to get to go. Ask a recruiter about it.
@@christophercole9360 Curious are you a nuke?
@@jackis5581 two good friend were, I seriously lack the brain power to even lie about being a nuke.
