Navy Operations Specialist - OS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- As an Operations Specialist, you are the heart of Combat. Day and night, your team tracks potential enemy targets and records their movement using complex radar equipment. From the ocean surface, to outer space, you have a complete picture of all assets in the area. Your intel gives ships and aircraft a strategic advantage, and helps weapons operators neutralize any threat to American forces. Find out if you have what it takes to be an OS at bit.ly/2MJ7doy
The thing I missed most about being an OS was being around a bunch of intelligent, motivated guys who were conversant on a wide variety of subjects, well read for the most part, and of a curious nature. When I as discharged back to civilian life I was dismayed by the number of dull, incurious people I had to deal with in the workplace. I know that sounds snobbish but that's just the way it is. They may be good people but the fact was they were just boring as hell compared to my bright, open minded OS mates. I still don't have friends as close as the ones I had in the Navy. We truly were a "band of brothers."
I know the feeling well shipmates. Im still in touch with my old OS buds from my first ship starting back in 1990. Civilians just to dam lazy and last for my taste. Most of them I havent seen in some cases 20 to 30 years but we still stay in touch and we still got more in common, than people I work with now.
I was the link guy, loved that job more than anything I've done since. Miss it.
@@orourke1972 one time just out of boredom I was asked how do you hold whiskey, I said usually one in each hand...lol OPS didnt find it funny. But my chief thought it was funny....lol
john Magill hahahahaha. Good ole days
@@johnmagill3072 what is your occupation now? Does it related with anything to do with OS? Was just wonder I am going to be an OS leave March 09
That's my daughter!!! Go Navy!!
Congrats Maam!
diana garza what time?

Stand watch while underway, sweep P ways and leave at 1300 everyday inport. OS's have a much better schedule than most rates onboard ship.
I was a OS for 20 years,lots of great times with your shipmates,civilian life does not compare.
Thankful, proud, humbled & honored to have served in the USN, as an Operations Specialist. Without question, one of my greatest regrets in life is that I didn't have the foresight, maturity & sensibility to stay in longer,...perhaps even make it a career. Oh well,...such is life. God bless the men & women of the worlds GREATEST NAVY, and God bless America!!
You sound like my older brother he was an IC2 on the USS Nimitz 1983-1986. I went in as an OS lucked up and picked order to the USS Nimitz 1984-1987. When i got there he left Engineering dept and came to Operations dept.
I hear all the accidents lately involved some OS's. You would know that lots of times, the senior enlisted guy in CIC is an OS. I always sat BBD, that was my GQ position.
@@keithyoung4158 I came on the Nimitz in 1985 until dec 88
all good you did your part and thank you for serving! I actually just did a video about being an OS on my channel if you want to check it out!
If I decide to join the military imma most likely go with Navy💪🏾 if not then I’m going with Air Force
I was an RD before there was an OS. Wonder if I could find my way around CIC now.
Join the Navy. Navy is the best in my opinion. I'm in the Navy myself. I'm going active and I reenlist next Friday.
HD 2Face awesome!🙌🏾
Andi Nicole Official Thanks! 💯✌🏾️
navy has everything thats why its the best option
Being an OS on a Carrier was tough, but being on a DDG was a lot more fun.
I was an OS on the battleship USS Missouri 86-90
I ship out tomorrow as OS, I’m worried about A school
You got this 💪💪
@@sierragraham7022 you'll be alright, A school was designed for you to pass
My cousin David Eddy OS3 was on it at the same time. Know him? please respond. I was on the SARATOGA
Shipping out Nov. 6th as an OS
Thats really awesome!! I want this rate, did you have to wait for a spot to open or was it open for you at meps?
@@MicmanInTexas It was open at MEPS! But I passed MEPS back in March
Dopey Scopey ay I’m a OSSN in the fleet I take the OS3 exam soon here but good luck in bootcamp and your Aschool is in Greatlakes if you don’t get put on holds for over 1 week you’ll be in Great Lakes for 3 months
@@Chrisfrmzone6 Thanks man! ⚓💪
Same rate as you brother but I ship later
Shout out to all OS (CIC) Naval personnel. My brother served as such on the USS Little Rock and the USS King in the late '70s-early '80's. He would've loved nothing better than to pursue this as his career path. However, the politics that interfered in overall Naval service at the time overrode what he thought was better for the greater good of his country, causing him to not re-enlist. I'm so proud of my brother's service to his country. He went on to earn his RN nursing degree and served out the rest of his years until retirement taking care of service veterans at the Lake City, FL USVA Hospital. Potentially (like all men and women who sign on the dotted line for enlistment), and going forward: My highest salutations and respect for each and every one.
I was an OS2 onboard the USS ANTIETAM CG-54 from 88'-93'
OS1 aboard CG-61 USS Monterey..plankowner..91-92..
OS2 on Antietam 2013-2016.
I was a Radarman before I was an OS. That's how old I am...
old? i prefer the term salty
Did that job for 20 years. On two Tarawa class amohibs, and one aircraft carrier. Loved the job.
which platform did you enjoy the most?
i ship out august 26 as an OS! i’m so exited !!! :)
How’s it going?
I was an OS when I was in, it's a great rate.
Do they do a lot of math, plotting and graphing?
Only math I do is calculating Plan if Intended Movement haha
I was at Dam Neck in the mid 90's. I got in trouble for going to Taco Bell. They called a muster while we were gone.
@@shanestoumbough4733 oh nice for ac? o live 20 mins away from there
God I miss that job.
MM1 here, 1275 PSI Super Heated Steam, 36,000 Shaft Horse Power. Back in my day, loved being a snipe. OS's , love'em, the eyes and ears. But we made the power for it all.... :-).... 73-93. Would do it all over again.
One russian or chinese sailor gave this a thumbs down. I guess they are scared 😂
20 years and retired as an OS. Learned and saw lots of interesting things during my time. 1981-2001 including 3 ships that I was a Plankowner on. mostly AEGIS. 3 wars. and bunch of surveillance on about everything that moved. Loved my job.
Happy to hear that, I'm sure you have plenty of sea stories to share! I actually just did a video about being an OS on my channel if you want to check it out!
Enlisting in May of 2020. Either going for OS or IS, and I’m very excited to start this chapter in my life!
TNIPS11 same I’m goin for
os just gotta keep losing my weight !!
@@reesej5208 good luck, OS rate is fun, fast and technical operations!
TNIPS11 I’m an OS, joined when I was 19. Now I’m 26 and wish I did IS. You’ll see and do so much more.
@@reesej5208 im 2 years late but how'd it go?!
how's that journey going for you!?
OS on the USS Indy mid 1980's. If you're shopping for a Rating, Go OS. You'll need to be bright and good at schooling. When I went in, A School was in Damneck, VA Beach. NTDS School was there also. Wherever you're sent, apply yourself and learn as much as you can. When you get to the fleet (I don't know if they still do 3 month mess crank) do your Qualifications right away and then get on top of the 3's and 2's. It's great duty; you'll man CIC, Bridge, Navigation and a few lookout posts. If you're working with a Recruiter, knuckle down on the ASVAB exam. Score as high as you can so that you'll be able to choose from the better Rates.
Happy to hear that, I'm sure you have plenty of sea stories to share! I actually just did a video about being an OS on my channel if you want to check it out!
Also they still do crank, theyc all it FSA now because some people found the term crank DEMEANING..
@@CharlonClarke Hey shipmate! I will find your channel and give you some support!
@@RayBecker appreciate it!
I decommissioned an amphib (USS Hermitage LSD-34) in deck department, went to my A school and became an OS at my next command (USS Abraham Lincoln CVN-72).
Those were some of the best times in my life. If any of the fellas from OI are reading this.... peace.
Coolest thing I did as an OS was SWG1-A engagement planner and operator. Awesome job!
what job can a os get after the navy?
Something I used to do when I was in the service. If I get another chance to be in the Navy, I'd choose this rate again
How was it overall, I'm shipping out as it?
@@kunalchanna6699 Overall, it was easy. While being in CIC to do the job, I detected, reported, plotted, & made entries in the log books.
I was a scope dope myself. OS was always a hard rate to describe to civilians. I do this, I do that, a little of everything.
How was A school?
Goofiest job in the navy 😂😂😂😂 where the Mountain Dew and hot Cheetos 😂🤣😂. You can’t do anything with OS after the navy . Good luck
I'm curios, explain why?
Ignore this guy. This man is just mad because he doesn’t qualify to get it
@@straightouttagaming3110 what ? I ain’t mad . It’s just that it’s a sea rate . A lifers rate .
@@straightouttagaming3110 I did the research. It's quite easy to get in. Some people scored low on their test and still got in. Plus, it's the lowest rank seamen.
I was an OS3 on an ammunition ship out of California.I miss that job so much. The people I worked with were outstanding. Unless you have lived, this type of life you can't relate. The best job I ever had. I regret not staying in longer.
The only good OS is an EAOS! Haha.
I struck OS on USS Cape Cod AD 43. Made OS3 1986. Re-enlisted for OS A in 1986 on USS Arizona Memorial. Graduated #2 of 75 students. Made OS2 on USS Kinkaid DD 965 1987. Taught OS A school twice from 1989-92 (Made OS1 1990) & 1996-99. Retired OS1(SW/AW) 2003.
William Sanders hooyah
I always thought Dam Neck was a little boring. I loved San Diego.
Happy to hear that, I'm sure you have plenty of sea stories to share! I actually just did a video about being an OS on my channel if you want to check it out!
Went to OS school in 1994. Went right to BUD/S after A school..made it through hell week but was performance dropped 6 weeks after hell week. Navy was short on Military police so they sent me to security police school after BUD/S. Wish I could have experienced working as an OS.
Got my contract as an OS. Leaving for basic in 9 days
happy to hear that you're going to love the job! if you have any questions let me know, I just did a video about being an OS on my apge if youre interested in checking it out
In God we trust. All others we track and report.
Got this job and now shipping out July 19th can’t wait!
BZ SAILOR!

@@dylansunico2381 hope I get to see you too!!!
@@dylansunico2381 how’s it going now
I was an OS2 when the rate switched from RD to OS in the early 70s. Onboard the USS Truxtun CG(N)-35 off the coast of North Vietnam. We were tracking and controlling round-the-clock airstrikes off of 6 carriers and air raids of 120+ B-52s at a time.
I’m shipping out April 28 as an OS
Azalea that’s wassup, maybe I’ll see you in Chicago
Shipping June 23 as OS; might might see yall in the fleet
Cj Green hope so brother
Will _ pretty sure OS job is navigation, radar, and plotting points
Will _ I chose OS at MEPs, I seen this video and a couple of papers from my recruiter
I really want this rate badly
I'm OS2. Its a great rate to have.
Your Favorite Sailor i got CTT leave May 4th i didn’t qualify for OS 😒
Jayruu CTT is also a good rate to have. Quality of life on ship is good
Your kids are in good hands. I miss working with intelligent officers and enlisted. The civilian life doesn’t compare. Best Worst times 🇺🇸
After all i have flame punished my arm for burning an ant with maginied emf for fun at 12yrs old
How about a ship internal.model or cranium internal aluminium mould i can show you scar if you like

future OS, shipping out next week! wish me luck🤝
You got this 💪
Any update?
Wish i could join
The Fishing Ginger aka TFG why can't you?
If you are an American you can join
Im have diabetes
The Fishing Ginger aka TFG yes I’m sorry but that disqualifies you from the Navy. If you had a shore only billet, meaning you just work for The Navy in an office, it really shouldn’t disqualify you, but it’s not possible on a ship, and with rare exceptions the Navy doesn’t offer ONLY work%in-an-Office-on-shore Jobs. An example would be working for the Navy at the National Security Agency, writing code at a keyboard all day. You are REQUIRED to stay on shore the entire time you have the job. I’ve even read articles arguing that those Navy Cyber Jobs should have different medical requirements than the rest of the Navy, that very talented software engineers who have diabetes, epilepsy, whatever should still work for the Navy. But that’s not the way it is now.which is too bad because there is no doubt an entire pool of very intelligent, talented Americans who miss out on Navy Service.
@@mickfunny4185 i agree but honestly i dont think i could work in a office
OS2 Reyes here. USS Patterson (FF-1061) 1987-1991
Can anyone share there experience at A school? Thinking about choosing OS as my job. My concern is A school
I went too many years ago. I liked it but would choose IS if I could do over. You can be a deck ape for awhile. Choose your rate later.
@@shanestoumbough4733 Thank you Shane! I didn't get a high score for IS.
Yo I’m in A school now and it’s a breeze. Go OS.
@@hellokitty91003gmail You need to get in touch with NickyMGTV, so yall can do a video about OS.
A school was easy
Every weapon and missle defence inoperative
This will be my official MOS upon graduation of Navy bootcamp and A School.
sameee lol i leeave on the 22nd wbu?
Brings back so many memories! some good, some bad
I am a retired OS 1973-1994 USS Constellation (twice) USS Enterprise, USS Halsey, USS Ranger, USS Mt Hood, USS White Plains, USS Midway TAD, USS Towers, FCTCP Instructor, USS Brooke, FTG Yokosuka Sea Duty, FACSFAC Pearl Harbor. Best Rate in the Navy!
HOOYAH ⚓️⚓️⚓️
Congratulations!
How does this career transition after getting out the navy ? Can you use this at all ?
The ship is in port? What a dog and pony show.
the late SOC Michael Koch and SOC Chris Kyle where OS's before they become Navy SEALs
What type of ships are Operations Specialists on, all kinds?
All ships.
Yes we can be on any ship but it’s rare to get a OS on a Sub because we have STG Or STS but be a OS It’s the best rate in the navy hands down
Thank you, How long is OS school? Is there a lot of math involved being an OS? Where is OS school located?
waterhead001 OS school is 53 days but you’ll be in Great Lakes NSTC for 3 months overall and no math really just a little bit and the School is in Chicago
Were there Operational Specialists on Battle ships?
OS forever! Navy! 📡🤠
I ship out September 21st as an OS
HooYa! Goodluck
What’s their shore duty like?
As an Operations Specialist, your work environment will be fairly comfortable, often indoors in a clean computer room environment. This role involves mostly mental work. And most OSs work closely as a team with bridge watch-standers and navigation teams rather than individually.
i ship out in aug for os so excited
HOOYAH!
U
Do i have to be a citizen to do this rate?
you don't have to be an American citizen to do most rates. however, rates that require a security clearance may be difference. Im pretty sure that OS doesn't require a clearance though.
You need a secret clearance’ and top secret for certain NEC like GCCS
I was a Naval Combat Information Operator in the Canadian navy. Loved the job and you need a lightening fast mind.
Shipping out in a few days to become an OS
Good Luck brother! Don't quit on yourself and just keep pushing through the tough times, I went in 07NOV18 and graduated 04JAN19 missed all the good holidays but man was it great to see my family and how proud they were. I'm currently on hold to start my OS class in A School.
OS3 here stationed on ddg 112, good luck & study hard
How was A school?
What do I have to get on my Asvab to get this job ?
I got it with an asvab of 55
i qualified with a 59
Only got a 55 9n asvab but yep I'm on the Dean's list at my university now. Guess the military made me smarter 🤣
