I like how he says it isn't much. We had 4 to a room with one locker for storage, Community showers and toilets in the 80's. Most rooms had bunk beds just to have more room.. No dresser, no fridge, no closet and no microwave. Yiu wanted furniture,, you paid for it yourself. These are luxury rooms compared to what I lived in.
The Navy has come a long way in Barracks comforts since the mid seventies. The time I was in, there were four Bunks and steel lockers. A small table and steel chairs. The showers and toilets were down the hall.
Wow! These rooms look awesome compared to the ones I stayed in! I didn’t have a microwave, and we had separated barracks (male in one building female in other) back in 2000
Is the section leader like RPOC/AROC? can you rank up from being a Yeoman? I’m shy but I also want to get out of my shell while maintaining a job in bootcamp. And was the initial word knowledge test hard, would you recommend mainly studying certain sections of the START guide in order to pass that test to rank up ?
No section leard was different we had 6 section leaders idk if they all made rank but some did if you lasted the whole time in bootcamp. Yes YN made rank in bootcamp.
@@Loveyourlife_ As RPOC and AROC you will definitely make rank. Study the chain of command president vice president ect.. learn your 11 general orders, learn how to right face left face stand at attention.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 I was in the Navy during the '90s, then rejoined in December 2000, and I had to spend my first month at TSC Great Lakes before going to "A" School in Maryland. Yea, it was all about living with the heavy 1960s metal furniture and old striped mattresses. While there, I came up with a brilliant idea to avoid both quarterdeck duty and barracks-cleaning duties: I started shoveling snow. Since nobody else wanted to do it, everyone left me alone in exchange for me going out and shoveling snow out of the back sidewalk/smoke area and some of the parking area (the quarterdeck sidewalk was the responsibility of those on duty). I went out multiple times a day, laid down salt crystals, and didn't mind it one bit!
I always wondered how the inside of these dorms looked. Im a California native and work on base. I used to go to that side of the base to work out at the Olde Gym and Admiral Gym.

The Official Dave Harris LS & Bootcamp Has It’s Ups & Downs But It Really Wasn’t That Bad. If You Got Time Can You Make A Video Of San Diego For Me. I’m From The East Coast & My Sponser Hard To Reach
Damn, only 2 in each room? I'm in A School in pensacola right now and we have a smaller room with 3 sailors: a bunk bed plus a single bed. And cockroaches, haha. I just got orders for NASNI in coronado, I can't wait to go there!
Yo dude back in late January I left for bootcamp. I posted a comment and you replied. I’m now a basically trained sailor about to head to Virginia on Saturday.
The Official Dave Harris Bootcamp was crazy intense starting off but once I adjusted it got a lot better. Yes your videos did help and I used what you told me. I’m out in Virginia now probably the same barracks as you had. It’s weird out here it’s not bootcamp but it still feels like it at times.
Ever stop and ask or think why the military budget is so high and yet they give you guys substandard living conditions and equipment? Those should be high quality living.
Joe Sanders yes it is nice but every barracks is different some look a lot better and there are some barracks that look worse. It all depends on what base you go too.
Damn they changed when I was an E3 we slept in open bay Barricks. Even as an E4 and I was staff in Pensacola Florida we slept in bunkbeds three to a room.
Quick question. When you rank up to E4, are you suppose to be relocated to a different room or do you remain where you were when you first arrived to your duty station?
Jenna Owens sorry for the late response, but if your in the barracks when you make E4 you can move to the petty officer barracks if there are available rooms. But at there are bases where E1-E4 have the same Exact room set up, so there’s no Perry officer barracks or E3 and below barracks there all the same.
wow very nice... I was in from 85-89 and stationed at Mare Island and for our Special Boat Unit, we had rooms, but nothing even remotely close to this nice...
My boyfriend is in the San Diego location! and I wanted to give him some things but I really don’t know what to get him what are some essentials for living in those dorms so I can pack it for him
I feel so spoiled being in the Air Force. Zero room inspections a room to yourself at any rank and some guys had their girlfriends living in their dorm room. I finally got to moved off base at E-5 but could've at E-4.
It really depends. Im stationed at Fort Bliss as an E-3 and we get out own rooms with a shared common area with your roommate. My experience in Korea however is similar to this.
@@KD-fp3qy lol..yeah hopefully some day but for now im just here to help you guys out. If you have any more questions do not hesitate to ask and let me know if you want me to make a certain video.
Man things have changed a lot since I retired. I just stumbled across your video. Thanks for sharing this. I am assuming this is at NAB Coronado? Well good to see you all get a room. When I was in it was 4 to a room and E-3 and below couldn't park on Naval Station a lot more ships and personnel in the Navy at that time. I retired back in 2006 and my last duty station was 32nd Barracks. I was the LPO there for 2 years. Great times.
Damn, I’m in the Air Force, and I’m glad we invest more money on our dorms than other branches living quarters. Where I was stationed, every Airman had they’ve own room and restroom. A full sized mattress and a full sized fridge. And I didn’t even have to live in them for long, as an E-3 they let me move out for BAH/BAS. You won’t really see any E-4s in the Air Force not on BAH/BAS
Cali AirmanB17 that’s crazy y’all living good in the navy you we find some E5 living in the barracks..lol. You won’t get BAH until your E5 in the navy. Sometimes they make exceptions if the barracks are running low on rooms.
It all depends on what ship you go to and when the ship nexts deployment is. Ever ship is different. When i got out of A school it was 6 months until i went on my first deployment.
Dam dude, never had to share room, in the Army. Our own room, camp humphrey, we have our own oven and stove top, fridgerator, microwave. Fuck!! You guys have a better bathroom though.
Cassius smith it all depends if your ship you are going to is going on deployment soon they will make you stay on the ship. Some ships it’s mandatory for E3 and below to live on the ship 6 months before going to the barracks. Or some places let you go straight to the barracks, so it all depends. If you are married or have kids you don’t have to worry about living on the ship or the barracks. You can live out in town or in base housing.
Is housing easy or hard to look for in the military like off base where ever stationed? We get help for all the movings? Need some advice from the more experienced. Might need it in the next few months coming up like the summer. Thank you 😊 (I don’t know why it seems so easy but I think it‘a hard... 😩)
What determines who your room mate is? Is it random or do they try to put people together with other rates in their same duty assignment? Navy brat but I went Army and I was always curious both on ship or on land if they tried to keep people as close as possible with those in the same section.
Because all of our bases are near the water and there is always beaches near by or the city life. Other branches get stationed in the middle of nowhere or small towns.
I have a Question I hope you answer but my question is during your contract do you deploy every year or is there rates where you don’t deploy that often
Xavier Kluttz it all depends on what ship you are on and how many times that ship deploys. My ship went on deployment every 3 years so if you on a ship for 5 years like me you might catch 2 deployments. There are some rates that don’t o out that much like master at arms, Seabee rates.
The Official Dave Harris Thanks Man But I’m striving to be a Seabee I love working with my hands I’m going back to my recruiter at the end of the month or early June
Xavier Kluttz make sure you go back and get the job you really want it will be worth it in the long long. Seabee will be perfect for you if you like working with your hands.
Yes you can have your own blankets and pillo, you can put a rug down also. You pretty much can do anything to your room. You just cant vandalize it or paint it. Just keep it clean thats all we ask. You will get a welcome package with all the rules and regulations when you check in.
Brianna Harris learn the difference between a petty officer and chief. Remember your 11 general orders, sailors creed and navy core values verbatim. Also learn the chain of command from president down. Make sure you do a lot of push ups and sits up and run a lot before you go.
Cascade HyDRO the blue uniforms are type II and the green are type III. They are getting rid of the blue uniforms in October of 2019. The entire Navy will be switched over to October 2019
The Official Dave Harris that really sucks. I always thought the Navy had the best uniforms. I’m in the Airforce and it’s a joint base and I see a lot of sailors with the green and some with blue. I never understood the purpose of a green uniform when you’re the water based branch. Same with ABUs if we’re mostly sky based why wear sage green instead of grey or bluish grey like aircraft. But everything has purpose I guess. Thanks for the answer!
Cascade HyDRO yeah that’s one of the reasons I joined the navy was because of the blue Camo now they are going out of style..lol I don’t get it either they say change is a good thing but we shall see!! Thank you for watching tho.
Not in this particular room but most barracks rooms do have desk just not this one idk why tho. You could always buy your own desk and put it in your room just an option.
Thanks for you great Videos. Help me out a lot. How will I know if my son will get a barracks or not. He arrived in San Diego December 4th he's on the ship right now, but wont leave out to sea for a while
Mrs.Davis Forever it all depends on the the command I know some command that make sailors live on the ship at least 6 months before moving into the barracks or your son could go straight to the barracks.
TheLifeOfQuin in most military housing there’s a waiting list but if you go on Lincoln military housing.Com you can check to see how long different wait times are.
GMacho most likely you will go to the barracks you would just have to check in at the barracks front desk and they will assign you to a room. If you are going to a ship you could either live on the ship or get a barracks room it all depends on what your command will have you do.
Sea Dubs on my ship it was mandatory for us to live on the ship for at least 6 months before we were able to stay in the barracks. I believe its different for everyone most sailors go directly to the barracks as soon as they get to their command.
The Official Dave Harris ok that makes sense. Jus asking because i seen another youtube video about life on a navy ship and the guy was saying how he’s been on two different ships for about 3 years. Does it mainly depend on what MOS or does that have nothing to do with it?
Also every one will have their own rack on the ship but the doesn’t mean you have to live on the ship. You will only sleep on the ship on your duty days or when the ship goes out to sea.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 I talked to a navy recruiter today and I think I'm going to meet up with the recruiter this weekend hopefully it goes well but I've been struggling on the practice test for the asvab.. any tips..
Sungjettp Retioust I just studied the asvab for dummies book. You can find it on amazon that helped me a lot. You can also google asvab question and that should help. I seen people in the navy with a 35 asvab score so don’t stress it too much you will be ok
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 thank you I appreciate it ! So what if I got a 35 I can't pick a job that I really want ? And it's funny that I'm asking you but I have 2 brothers in the army and 1 brother just got out of the marines and 1 sister who is in the air force but that being said haha I'd rather watch your videos because none of them are doing navy .
Sungjettp Retioust yes try to score as high as possible, but if you do try your best and a 35 is the highest you can score your probably going to end up being a cook like myself or a Undesignated semen.
Tanishia Mccoggle until you make E5 you will get BAH to move out in some places it’s E4. If you get married or have a child. You can move out whenever it depends on you but you will be paying out of pocket.

Well the NWUs are green now so I guess that's an improvement
Can u have ur own tv and game system in ur room or u only could have ur game system in the lounge room?
Yes you can put anything you want just about in here.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 thank I just sign up for the navy I’m just waiting for a reply back from them
@@rara_sav2157 ok cool good luck!!
Do they have decorations restrictions for barracks like can I have my own comforter and can I put down area rug?
Yes you can have your own blankets and pillo, you can put a rug down also. You pretty much can do anything to your room. You just cant vandalize it or paint it. Just keep it clean thats all we ask. You will get a welcome package with all the rules and regulations when you check in.
The Official Dave Harris is it the same for CS A school? I’ll be going there in June. Can I have my own comforter and rug n stuff?
@@NoirAngelz3D to be honest i do not remember if CS A school barracks allowed us to decorate our rooms because you only ther for 4 weeks.
The Official Dave Harris I know I’m asking a lot, but on my contract it says 9 weeks so it’s actually 4 weeks?
@@NoirAngelz3D your fine ask any questions you have. CS A school should only be 4 weeks at Fort Lee Virginia. Im not sure why yours say 9 weeks.
I'm joining in March of 2020. Any advise on getting threw basics?
Brianna Harris learn the difference between a petty officer and chief. Remember your 11 general orders, sailors creed and navy core values verbatim. Also learn the chain of command from president down. Make sure you do a lot of push ups and sits up and run a lot before you go.
That’s about it bootcamp is pretty easy they will tech you everything you need to know.
What’s the difference between the blue and green uniforms? I’m AF and we just have ABUs and OCPs
Cascade HyDRO the blue uniforms are type II and the green are type III. They are getting rid of the blue uniforms in October of 2019. The entire Navy will be switched over to October 2019
The Official Dave Harris that really sucks. I always thought the Navy had the best uniforms.
I’m in the Airforce and it’s a joint base and I see a lot of sailors with the green and some with blue. I never understood the purpose of a green uniform when you’re the water based branch. Same with ABUs if we’re mostly sky based why wear sage green instead of grey or bluish grey like aircraft.
But everything has purpose I guess. Thanks for the answer!
Cascade HyDRO yeah that’s one of the reasons I joined the navy was because of the blue Camo now they are going out of style..lol I don’t get it either they say change is a good thing but we shall see!! Thank you for watching tho.
The Official Dave Harris no problem. But hey, at least you got them before they were completely phased out 😂.
Cascade HyDRO I know these are going to be collectors items now..lol
Damn the navy is privileged compared to army. Smh
Maya Rose yeah we are until we get on the ships..lol
Is this rule for every base and is it for certain rates.
Different bases may have their own rules.
Can you visit your girlfriend/wife if they live in the barracks?
Lord Gully yes you can but they can’t stay overnight. Company has to be gone by 10pm
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 sorry this late but arent u busy all the time workinh
Joshua Walker yes on the ship we are but on shore duty we have more time off!
No computer desks?
Not in this particular room but most barracks rooms do have desk just not this one idk why tho. You could always buy your own desk and put it in your room just an option.
Are these the barracks for NAS North Island? I report there in march.
No they are NAB. The barracks on North Island are way better!!

How do the married barracks differ than these?
Samantha Stout you can not be married and live in the barracks there only for single sailors.
Can you bring a rice cooker or crock pot
Jalin Manning a rice cooker is ok but not a crock pot. But if you keep them locked up in your closet we will never know.
This is the naval amphibious base right?
Yes sir
Thanks for you great Videos. Help me out a lot. How will I know if my son will get a barracks or not. He arrived in San Diego December 4th he's on the ship right now, but wont leave out to sea for a while
Mrs.Davis Forever it all depends on the the command I know some command that make sailors live on the ship at least 6 months before moving into the barracks or your son could go straight to the barracks.
When are you able to grow facial hair?
Does The Navy Allow You To Get Housing For You And Your Wife And Child To Live ?
TheLifeOfQuin yes the navy provides housing for you and you family. Me and my family just moved into housing a couple days ago.
The Official Dave Harris Is It Giving To You First Thing ?Or Do You Have To Wait ?
TheLifeOfQuin in most military housing there’s a waiting list but if you go on Lincoln military housing.Com you can check to see how long different wait times are.
You the BPO? Lol. Sounds like it when you say "empty room".
Yes sir..lol
So in navy you will not get your own room?
This is luxury compared to Groton's Thresher Hall lmao
Where is that at?
Groton
@@reallyhappenings5597 ok cool
why is the bathroom handi cap accessable?
They made the room Incase of sailors in a wheelchair if they happen to get hurt and need to use one. Which I never seen happen!
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 if you get hurt that bad you would be transfered to a medical hold unit.
What base is this???
NAB San Diego
What command is this
31 navy the base in San Diego at NAB.
That’s wild when I served army we never had rooms this small🥲
a drawer you can't open. nice!
Hooyah CS life
Thank you for watching hooyah CS!!!
what base is this
NAB San Diego
im going to san diego soon, im e-1 so do i have to apply for barracks or is it already assigned to us when we get there ?
GMacho most likely you will go to the barracks you would just have to check in at the barracks front desk and they will assign you to a room. If you are going to a ship you could either live on the ship or get a barracks room it all depends on what your command will have you do.
Aren’t u automatically an e2 upon graduation from boot camp?
Blake Bebout no, automatic e2 after 9 months
Golden Girl you’re right. I think some rates grant you e2 after boot camp though.
Blake Bebout after 6 months
Great Content. Great Channel
Thank you so much. Let me know if you have any questions. Ill try my best to answer?
That's some nice ass barracks in Pensacola it's not that good
Officer Pagen we have even better barrack room here in San Diego.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 what no way
Officer Pagen yep
how do you know if you’ll be on the ship or in the barracks? anybody know?
Sea Dubs on my ship it was mandatory for us to live on the ship for at least 6 months before we were able to stay in the barracks. I believe its different for everyone most sailors go directly to the barracks as soon as they get to their command.
The Official Dave Harris ok that makes sense. Jus asking because i seen another youtube video about life on a navy ship and the guy was saying how he’s been on two different ships for about 3 years. Does it mainly depend on what MOS or does that have nothing to do with it?
Also every one will have their own rack on the ship but the doesn’t mean you have to live on the ship. You will only sleep on the ship on your duty days or when the ship goes out to sea.
So my last ship I was on for 5 years so I had a bed on the ship but I also had an apartment out in tow that I lived at.
Do you like the navy?
It was ok I like be a civilian more
Can you decorate?
Yes
I'm considering joining the navy
Sungjettp Retioust you should do it. Joining the navy really improved my life.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 I talked to a navy recruiter today and I think I'm going to meet up with the recruiter this weekend hopefully it goes well but I've been struggling on the practice test for the asvab.. any tips..
Sungjettp Retioust I just studied the asvab for dummies book. You can find it on amazon that helped me a lot. You can also google asvab question and that should help. I seen people in the navy with a 35 asvab score so don’t stress it too much you will be ok
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 thank you I appreciate it ! So what if I got a 35 I can't pick a job that I really want ? And it's funny that I'm asking you but I have 2 brothers in the army and 1 brother just got out of the marines and 1 sister who is in the air force but that being said haha I'd rather watch your videos because none of them are doing navy .
Sungjettp Retioust yes try to score as high as possible, but if you do try your best and a 35 is the highest you can score your probably going to end up being a cook like myself or a Undesignated semen.
Do OSVETS get the same rooms or are they separate ?
What are OSVETS?
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 prior service i mean lol
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 other service vets
Veterans don’t stay in the barracks just active duty military.

How long do you have to stay in barracks
Tanishia Mccoggle until you make E5 you will get BAH to move out in some places it’s E4. If you get married or have a child. You can move out whenever it depends on you but you will be paying out of pocket.
In single and I’m 25, but I plan on going soon as I turn 26 is this possible?
Nope age does not matter I seen 30 year olds living in the barracks.
