I served aboard the Destroyer DE-1022 slept on the bottom rack and was always alert that my hand, arm was in danger of being stepped on by the person trying to climb to the upper racks.
Aaaaah, the old 4-high canvas racks. I remember, as a newbie just out of Boot Camp, our leading PO coming around a few minutes after Reville and waking everyone up. Then, ten minutes later waking us again, if he had to return for a third time he cut your bunk lashings. I had mine cut once, and it was not an easy job to re-lash that canvas bunk....took me several hours. I learned my lesson and immediately arose in the morning for the rest of my Navy career. CWO4 USN Ret.
Hate to have one of those over-the-desk racks!
Great Video, Love the content! 5:17 I love the nose that heater makes, I always look forward to hearing it when I participate in the overnights. Gives you a rely "in the moment on a battleship" type of vibe.
She ship is looking pretty good below. Did a couple overnights when my bits were young. They grabbed two of the chiefs bunks and my younger boy even slept through revelry- which ain’t easy cause it’s pretty loud down below- they do it for real. Second time had a Jr officer stateroom which was pretty comfy. RHIP.
Love this channel! One of my summer jobs in college was playing the organ at St. Mary's Cathedral in Fall River, just up the hill from the battleship!
Thank you!
Love these videos
AWESOME!!
