I don´t understand how someone could do 20 years at sea. Granted I know it aint all at sea but still. Chiefs berths is a little bigger and wardrooms are actually decent but most don´t make Chief. Wild thing is compared to the Army which routinely send people on send off missions treats their people better. I knew a chick who requested to be on the Truman with her Baby Father and the Navy said she not only had to do shore duty but sent her to San Diego ( The Tru was in Norfolk) so she got out and became a Navy Civilian.
Why not just marry her baby daddy?

Middle coffin rack was the best one. When I was in combat systems we had a small berthing so it wasn't too bad . When I crossed over to supply it was totally different. I always slept good but yes hard to turn over lol
I had a top rack when I first got on and hated it.

I think I was with CS’s too. So it was cold at because I’m near the AC vents and getting in/out took forever.

Eventually was moved to a smaller, less crowded berthing (I think was Engineering) and loved it. That middle rack was open so claimed it and we had a corner of it to ourselves basically.

Idk, it depends I guess. I know the higher your rank the better it gets so that’s one reason why some do. Then there’s the pay, excitement, ports (if you get a flag ship especially) etc.

I thought about doing merchant marines. Idk what a Navy Civilian is unless it’s just regular Civilian and San Diego is one of the best places to be stationed. I had a teaching position out there which I should’ve took. But yeah, she did right I guess to be near family. Navy is just a big ass game where people try to fukk you over based off whatever.

Mufukkas always thought it was a flex to get middle rack, I would just laugh at they as as I gymnasticsd my big ass up to the top rack that was open air and I could sit up in........

Partially it´s me low key hating. I know a guy down here with a checkered career in the navy ( had at least one DUI and still retired) he made a fortune with MSC he tried to get me to join.

shyt could be wildly different I knew a Legalman who was assigned to Aviation should´ve been cake but his berth was near the flight deck so it was loud and hot since he was in the middle east.

Another guy was the cook for the Admiral so he had a cushy number until he got kicked out for being fat and not being able to swim.


My issue is I can´t stand being around people all the time it´s like being in Jail to me. When I was deployed I could´ve gotten out of going on some missions but I went out just to get the fukk off the base especially the tiny ones.


Same nikka that made a fortune in MSC was trying to get a house with me. I questioned why in the fukk would two Men get a house together no matter the size. I put that up to about 30 years of being in fart filled cabins.

That´s another thing I was working on a partially submerged sub and a dude was working on the other bulkhead and the nikka farted. I felt the heat before I smelled it The room got at least a degree hotter then I smelled it it lingered for at least ten fukking minutes. nikkas on attack Subs gotta spend weeks off the coast of North Korea with nasty nikkas on Burrito night.

That chocolate drop would have been much ship wife...:noah:


She would be sleeping with me in my shop in comfort and privacy.......:steviej:
I knew a dyke who got herself discharged because she was wilding with hoes on her ship while underway. She got out because hoes was fighting over her and she joined the Air Force and got assigned to the Mortuary department at Dover and left that because of all the dead bodies.

where was your hiding space for weed? I heard the main reason to get the top bunk was the access more spaces to hide the weed on the boat.

By the way Baby Mother did ended up teaching classes for the Navy again probably the real reason she got out more pay less bullshyt and no cruises.

Like I said, it all depends.

Depends on what you chose to do as well. I came in trying to be a CS just because I was already working at a bar as a cook. Got pretty high test scores and they moved me to RadioMan (aka IT/Comms). But I chose that because I didn’t know wtf the other shyt they offered was at the time and I had already went to school for computers and got certified.

My first duty station wasn’t at sea either, because I got top of all the schooling shyt. But when I got on one it wasn’t all that bad to me but I wasn’t ships company. My schedule was basically Eves/Mids or whatever so ship was pretty much dead when I would get off.

Berthing was pretty much dead when I was awake. I don’t remember the coffin racks being crazy either. That top rack sucked idc if you could sit up or not. It was cold af up there and loud af. Was definitely not doing the floor shyt so I grabbed a middle rack and was chilling. I had my laptop with thousands of movies on external so I would just do that shyt until it was time to do something.

My new berthing was chill too since engineers were basically never there except to sleep. So it all depends on random shyt imo.

And only subs do that hot-racking stuff you described and 90% of the navy is like hell nah.. subs are some different shyt even to most of us.


And yeah, it’s like jail a lil bit, especially on an all male ship (but it’s less bullshyt without women around). Workout, sleep, work, repeat. I worked with the spooks so I was mainly only around them.

That’s wassup

Yeah they were going to let me teach while still in uniform but I wanted to go out to sea so turned it down. In hindsight, probably should’ve took the new gig but they would have to cut new orders, I would’ve had to move to a new state (not oconus), etc., and I just didn’t want to go through the hassle.

But teaching was probably a good decision as a contractor or civilian.
