What are your thoughts about the video? Do you think you could handle a deployment?
Currently in MCJROTC at my highs hoop, and looking to attend the naval academy afterwards. Currently a senior as a friend graduated 2 years ago and was the only from our school to go to the naval academy as he was the only one to apply. And then I will make my decision there 😊 I want to step out of my comfort zone and try new things and the navy seems like that’s it!
MM3 here! I looooved deployment! It was dope! There’s a lot of hard parts about deployment but getting qualifications and learning more shit about my job makes me happy!! I’m happy to serve my country! Going to San Diego for new orders!
This video was how I found this channel. This looks so amazing and I’m so excited about it. Many people may not like working on a ship months on end but this looks so amazing, like a dream for me!
I’m actually in the application process. Please please pray for me! 😣
You are handsome and sexy austen very clear talking about diaries job atte. LUZ mexico
Were you serious when you said stuff from amazon comes in the mail? Like you can order stuff off amazon and it comes straight to tye carrier or do you mail it to someone at home then they mail it to you?
Sitting here in my recliner half drunk at 9:30AM after a long 16 hr shift and the absolute most fascinating thing I noticed about this video is you got someone to stand on a roof and film you ride your bike around a corner. Props to them. Thank you for your service 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Ayeeee dope vid !!!!!
🙌🙌🙌
As a former sailor I’m enjoying your videos & reliving my youth. I joined the Navy right out of HS, got out in ‘68 started a career in law enforcement that lasted 30 years.
+Old Cop That is insane. I appreciate your service
Yes. I was in the Navy 5 years. I spent my time onboard an air craft carrier. Some of my best life experience was deployments. Hard work but worth it in the end.
I love the people from the Navy, you guys are very down to earth and I can understand clearly everything you say because English is my second language and sometimes i do have difficulty understanding the language. Anyway, thank you for the insight , it help us a lot to consider or not going to the Navy.
Was first looking at Marines, now I think I'll go for Navy.
Same here
RedLine I’m still going for marines
Same I was going to go to marines but navy looks awsome
Grace Felts you say that now
@@gracefelts1479 it’s not
You are a really great story teller. Your kids and grandkids are going to love everything about you. I'm so glad I found your channel. Thx.
My husband is being deployed on his first deployment in January. He’s on a aircraft carrier as well- the Eisenhower. We’ve got 2 toddlers at home so it’s gunna be hard but I’m so happy for him and the lifetime memories he will experience.
The last sentence you said was very important and beautiful and also that about the little things in life... You give very good life's lessons. Love em. Thank you! Your videos are always better week by week. Great job Austen 👏👏👏👏
These are memories that he'll never forget. The negatives are definitely hard, but the good times are times you'll never ever forget.
“There are some bad down sides”
“My music expired”
I wasn’t expecting some horrible gruesome stuff 😂😂
😂 i had to put something bad in there
Enjoy your videos man! I’m from Guam and actually in DEP going in as an MA. Your videos are a big help and makes me even more excited. I can’t wait for my time🔥
Thanks Rogin. I loved Guam!! Keep me updated
Good job recapping your earlier video. Back in the day, RASs were called UNREPs (underway replentishments). Also, back in the day, there was no internet. That was back before Al Gore invented it (ROFL). Thus, as you can imagine, mail call was a huge deal! BTW, there was no Amazon either. The only packages you got were care packages from mom. News came to you via Stars & Stripes newspaper, delivered when there was a mail call.
Am glad to hear you positive attitude about the Navy. Looking back on it many, many years later I can say it was a great way to grow up right out of high school. I have never regretted the 6 years I spent in the Navy.
Troy Mills I’ve heard some of the more salty sailors call them “UnReps” as well. I can’t imagine what it would be like without talking to parents for 1-2 months at a time! I guess we have it a little easier nowadays haha good to hear man. I try to be as positive as I can be. Thanks for the kind words
This was amazing 👏 my son just finished bootcamp heading fir Pensacola FL for A School in the New Year. This is great to see beyond and in deployment! I an excited for his time to serve and so frign beyond words proud of him and to be a supportive family member of the Navy! Thank you for your share and insight. 🙏💙⚓🇺🇲 God Bless your service and The Navy 🙏
I’m from Guam and I hope you enjoyed your stay over at our beautiful island!! I’m actually planning on joining the navy soon.
I loved it!! Best of luck on your journey
I loved this video! It really makes me miss my husband who is currently on work ups for a big summer deployment. He has also deployed to all of these places you have talked about in the video
Can you do a video on what an MA does during their shifts on deployment? And talk about how often they get deployed. On my own journey right now to joining the navy. 100 pounds from my goal with 130+ down and MA is the rate that I've been interested in and your channel has def made me more interested
Brings me back to my 5 years in the Navy. I was stationed in Atsugi, Japan near Tokyo. I deployed on the Ronald Reagan (CVN-76). It was fun visiting all the cool ports. And I swam in that same infinity pool on the top of the marina bay sands hotel in singapore. It was insane.
I can't live without music.music is part of my life dued
Thank you Austen , vids are awesome. Definitely considering The US Navy
You’re positivity is awesome . You make your experience your own. That’s cool
+Jose aka Pepe Montesdeoca thanks man! Really means a lot
lol the pies reminds me of the Caine Mutiny and trying to figure out where the strawberries went! Thank you for fellow service. I went to OCS Papa Company class 02/89
hahaha yes someone is always trying to steal food in the Navy. How was OCS back then?? It has probably changed alot
i really want to join the navy, like it would be my honor. also thank you for your service, i really appreciate it!
Yes
Then do it! Join the Navy. It's a good time to join
@Love You not sure what message you're trying to convey
I hope you enjoyed your visit to my island of Guam! Hooyah MAs!
yess it was incredible!
Thank. You for sharing. I am engaged to a Austin!💜 who is retiring from the Navy after this deployment.
Blessings to you and your future wife.
Shalom

Im from Guam, and I hope you like your stay, I’m going into basic 11/22/2018 as AN AO,
+Guamtonkid I loved Guam! And good luck! I knew lots of AOs on the ship they handle the BIG bullets
Bro you're videos are dope man keep Uploading!
Thanks for sharing brother. I do miss the Navy.
Hi Austen Alexander! Great job on the video.
New favorite channel! Thinking about going Navy instead of USMC now.
don't let me change your mind! haha I appreciate the support
Ffg-Fast frigate, at the most 2 week at sea for training purposes. Heard a lot of stories about adventures on an aircraft carrier. Like family members on a carrier that never met😳
I was on a destroyer during PG in the Indian Ocean for 3 tours from 87-91. During that time we releaved the USS cole, shoot at by Iranian gunboats, surface to air misses in the straits. You new guys have it made. Go for the distance. Make rank . Do 20+
sounds like fun times! We've been struggling with the Iranians for awhile now
Long Beach is the SHIT!!! I loved when my ship pulled in at Seal Beach to onload and offload because LBC was right down the street. You are lucky, bro.
Go team supply we keep it running
Has anyone ever told you, that you sound like Lieutenant Dan from Forrest Gump
+0 0 leuitenant Dannnnn Aassss creammmm. Yes they have
Wonderful content! Congrats!!!
Great job with the video and breakdown! Keep it up bro. I love the effort you put in your videos
CART tv I appreciate it!
I leave in 8 days for basic and my job is MA and I'm hyped. The videos are a real help 👌
samurubennett 8 days that’s soon!! Make sure you learn your rank insignias! Good luck 👍🏻🍀
No homo but his Texan accent is such a refresher 😊
Not a Texas accent
People from Alabama sound like that
Carlos Jimenez because it’s a southern thing that’s just how we talk 🇵🇷
Thank you for posting your videos. I work with the navy and we have a rider on the Vinson. Always wondered how a deployment is. Thanks
no problem! what do you do for the Navy?
Great shots bro
Great content man love your videos!
Thanks! I appreciate it
Man your channels awesome!
thanks Angel!!
Good shit man .. but as a fellow MA I don’t recommend this rate for anyone wanting to join .. unless you don’t have a problem checking IDs at a gate for your first couple years .. every command is different and some people just get better orders but mine has been a complete dumpster fire .. we have many qualified E5’s who still ride the gate it’s a shame .. with limited to no upward mobility whatsoever.. my seco was a egomaniac that only cared for himself.. I could go on ..going to ship is your best bet but when I was at A school .. only fleet returnees could go to a ship .. best of luck to you man but for anyone out there Ide say choose an aviation rate or gunners mate something to where you’re guaranteed to be on ship and get the full Navy experience
Great insight, love the videos.
Its interesting to see this Part of ur job
The world ain’t always sunshine and rainbows
Good video! Oh loosen back tire and pull back on it while you retighten. Chain shouldnt fall off anymore.
Gotcha 💪🏼💪🏼
I go to the meps and the hotel tomorrow and ship out on Thursday HOOYAHHH! Great video btw
Good luck!!! And thank you!!!
Ik I’m commenting on this video late but I have a few important questions, what was your shift like how many hours did you work and also what does a ma do while deployed while you are on the ship
I’m also wondering the same thing!
@@dmitrius3980 12 hrs a day, every day, when you are underway. When you are in port, it's 8hrs a day
I like those boots. Hope you do a video sometime on the boots you have/ wear for work
i could definitely do this
@@AustenAlexander I would very much like to see a video of your boots, when you have the chance.
this is awesome! it helps me to understand what my bf going through right now except for he is in Japan
Yeah I was thinking of joining the Marines but I think I found my true calling which is the Navy.
No stick with the marines I promise you the benefits are way better
For me the Navy was like doing the shuffle dance. I never thought I could do it, it was hard but when I did it was grrrreat.
Mid rats is the leftovers from lunch and dinner lol. Does y'alls combat cargo try to nab the good cereal off the pallets during a RAS like ours did? Lol
yess hahah i loved nabbing the fruits too
I’m currently a high school senior in DEP and my rate is AECF. Nervous but excited!
AECF I haven't heard that in a long time. Good luck my dude!!
Hey, hi this is Vincent I have my son Brandon at Boot Camp at the navy Great Lake, he’s doing pretty good in his fifth week. So I like all the details and explanation are you being given about the Boot Camp at the Navy a Great Lake, so the graduating is on October 26.I going to have a Lot a talk with my son, his job is the boat made, I be watching a lot of videos about the boat made, I learn a lot a info from your videos keep it up what you doing and I know My son he’s in a like his job. And so keep it up what you doing you are doing a great job with your videos.
i appreciate it, Vincent! He will like his job. I'm kinda snickering at when you say "boat made" lol did you mean boatswain's mate? I know it's a weird term
Hey OK my Mistake boatswains mate, OK how’s everything going so my son he’s going to he six week starting Monday 8
"Voluntold" that is outstanding! Hahaha
happens more than i care to talk about... haha
Austen my son is in the final weeks of a school. Guess what he is coming your way. He is an MA. Watch out for him come Dec.
Love your vlogs. Thank you for all you do!!
is he coming to Seal Beach? Thanks for the support!
Lol, got a video of you flipping over the handlebars of that green and white scooter thing? That would be good!
As someone who has been on three cruises this so true. Keep positive love God, love yourself, your family, take care of your shipmates and remember don’t be a douche bag 😂
Wow. We didn't have "liberty cards", we just left the ship and as long as we were not on a duty section we could stay off base as long as we wanted. But if we came back drunk it was a different story.
Enlisting on my 40s bro. Hope it’s worth it.
Your videos are outstanding!!
I don’t know if you have but you should make a video about your camera equipment while on deployment, if you liked the gear you had what you would change ect..
Wow nice story Austen
as always...another great video!
I leave in 5 days for RTC!
so close!!! Good luck and remember to always be honest in boot camp no matter what the outcome.
Super close! I will!
Excited for my new adventure!
@@werejustwingnit what's the update how was it?
@@dankdandy Hey! Well, all I can say, is that it has been a year! If you'd like, I made a video when I was in A school, if you want to check it out, it's on my other channel. ruclips.net/video/Jy9I6F_0CWg/видео.html (Hoping to post another video soon, had to sell my camera so I am just saving up atm)

Hey man I was born in Guam 🇬🇺 chamorro inside and out hafa adai!
I love your motivation keep going I love watching you my idol😘
🙌
Jessie looks like me, one day I'll be like her
@Austen Alexander I recommend if you don’t have it yet you should subscribe to Spotify premium. You get to Dow load the music you love and listen to it off line
Amazing video. 🤗😎
Yay
Austen i love your smiles and your eyes and your lips and I love your tattoos looking sharp with your strong arms 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👄👄👄👄👄👄👄
Whole video is great, leaving for boot in 2 months
I've been contemplating very seriously about joining navy goof luck man this is motivation for me
Good
Your amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can you bring a hotspot tho😂
My rackmate built a portable wind-up satellite receiver hotspot so we both had wifi........i lied
IT here...currently at nctams pac but nxt year ill try a carrier..outta norfolk...im on my first sea rotation. lol wife and 2 kids man oh man. gotta prep for that deployment n underway life
Pride and strength
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Liberty phases now huh? Interesting. I got in 2005, back then it was always back on the pier by a certain time for E-3 and below and overnight for everyone else. The was the best part of getting promoted to 3rd class.
Loved my coveralls
Really enjoy your. Channel. This video is great. Gives me a better idea of what deployment will be like. Thanks for the info. Maybe I can run into you one day. I ship out dec10 for bootcamp as HM 👌
damn you look so much like van damme ofcourse when he was young wow
Amazing video! How often do you get the chance to record your whereabouts on the ship?
hi Annie..I hope that's your name lol I'm not on the ship anymore but I recorded myself a lot. Where I am now, I can't really record lots of stuff unless it is approved by my superiors.
@@AustenAlexander it is. I guessed so, still impressive how much you were able to record
Great Video! How likely is it that i'd deploy as an MA? I've heard that MA's are mostly a shore rate.
Austin how is the pension plan, your retirement package when you become a vet
If you were able to go check your FB, why couldn't you renew your music subscription?
Did you ever get into contact with any enemies?
“Because I’m just a peasant” that’s great aha but fr you’re my hero man! I wanna be in the navy I’m 15. I have a brain tumor but as far as I can tell though I can still join.
Hope you get better bro, I'm shipping off in a month I cant wait
Ian Flynn-RUclips account that’s awesome bro! I’m only about to be a sophomore so I got a bit. I wanna go to the academy too!
I'm kinda scared lmao bootcamp is the hardest part.. I cant wait till I'm on the vessel and have the experience of being on the open waters
Oh man yeah open water is awesome on a boat I’ve been on so many that are permanently docked and I’m sure it just gets better as it goes on.
No phone or no fortnite will kick my ass. Let alone now the ships are "dry" so we cant be a sailor and drink lol
Were you scared or did you have a lot of anxiety when you first got stationed on a ship?
yes at first I was anxious and a little worried to be honest....but after about a week I started to get better and better. It happens to everyone
How often do you get port visits while on deployment
about once every 30 days
I like these videos because there real
How long was your shift for security department during underways? I was with your boy Quin Conley during CVN 71 deployment 2015.
what are your thoughts on enlisting as Full Time Support? I'm going in as a YN. Will I miss out on deployment?
LMFAOOA I HAVE THE SAME SHOES
dude you sound just like the legend himself Patrick Swayze
do you mean my voice orrrrr
Awesome video!
Thank you!!

Yo Austen, Do you know how it would work if I eventually join the Navy, or any military branch as a Nurse, but my girlfriend wants to be an education teacher? How would that work? Do they got schools on base for my girlfriend? Or would I just be forced to leave my girlfriend behind
