Some of my proudest moments was when I wore my Big Bad John coveralls. Our CO let us get custom made patches and embroidery in the Philippines. I still have mine. I don’t get many opportunities to wear them in Florida, but they see some light in the winter. My Dad ganked my USS Vincennes (CG-49) coveralls. Seeing him wearing them was priceless. Then my son Josiah ganked a pair, I started to cry. SKWID Rider’s Shipmate ET1(SS/SW/MTS) US Navy, Ret.

CGN sailor here. The Virginia class was fantastic. Big, fast and great in heavy seas.

[@anthonyfaye3344]

Some gooood sleeping weather right there.

[@dundonrl]

Plankowner on USS Momsen DDG-92 and retired while stationed on USS Halsey DDG-97. Great ships!

I was a Gunners Mate on a Perry class Frigate. The average age of the sailors was 19 to 24. If you were older you were a grandfather. What's always impressive is these guys operating multi million equipment, and knowing their $#!t. My enlistment was 84 thru 90 during Regans buildup for the 600 ship navy. Hit a lot of great liberty ports Subic, Pearl, Guam, Japan, Vancouve, San Francisco and Seafair in Seattle before it got weird. Worked hard but partied hard too. Great times.

Ive been sailing all my life. The worse the weather is, the more exhilarating it is to get through it to safety! It gets the blood pumping and the adrenaline rushes are better than any drug or wine!

[@Santiago-qr8du]

When the helmsman wears a cap with the spanish bull on it, fear disappears 😁. Thank you.

[@Вадим-м3ф3г]

@Santiago-qr8du - Ты скоро испытаешь страх , по настоящему . Всему свое время🤣

[@stoehrcov]

Well done and thank you

[@johnmagill7714]

Watching this makes me wish I could do it all over again. I wanted a Arleigh Burke class DDG so dam bad. I would have loved the chance to work with that Aegis set up. My shop was CIC shown starting at 6:15.

[@adamedwards2261]

Thanks y’all 🤙🏻🇺🇸

[@sondrabowers4837]

Thanks to all on ship!

[@halilturksoy8376]

Love you Amerika Love you Florida love you californiya ❤❤❤

[@supercal333]

8:18 is called the bullet farting mgs

[@johnnunn8688]

Google is amazing, you should try it. The Beaufort scale goes up to 12, 10 is stormy, 12 a hurricane. Don’t mention it.

[@bbaff8622]

Went through Hurricane Hugo on a CG, was bad but nothing that threatening.

[@brooksc900]

When you are looking up at the seas from a bridge 35 feet above sea level, that's when you are in the "massive" zone. The seas shown in this video are not. Try the north Pacific in the wintertime going west about up by the Aleutians or the short steep seas off the North Africa coast in the Atlantic. Like falling off a cliff or being hit by one.

[@garygolfer3243]

Yup. Blue water over the bridge is what we considered heavy seas.

[@wattsmichaele]

Why not 16” guns included along with all the other “modern” stuff????

[@mgrove8840]

Tell you young guys and gals. Stay in, make a career of it. Unless your daddy is a CEO, you won't find a better life. Even if so, Navy is way to go! China Lake NAWCWD! 33 YEARS !

[@damienweber2067]

Pour une fois que le prix n’est pas mentionné dans le titre… 😏

[@wattsmichaele]

Why not just go a lot slower in high seas?……or avoid them altogether with all the weather satellites available?

[@patrickmccrann991]

Waste too much fuel dodging around weather. Navy only avoids heavy weather or seas like hurricanes.

[@wamp9175]

How fucked is is that anybody is still using video of these guys with masks? Jeezuzzz...

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Not a big deal. Have you seen a movie or TV show from 2021. They were all wearing masks. It’s a reminder we can never fall for that S again.

[@Campuch]

🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲❤

[@lindsaystewart-zn3sv]

Well John Taylor your little world is about to collapse around your feet and you are not going to like it ,mainly because we didn’t spend enough nor were we any way ready enough!

[@J_Razz]

Still with the FN masks.

[@patrickmccrann991]

Because they asked for equal rights.

[@Dariush-ng7ph]

🥰🇺🇲🥰💪👍

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Special day. Congress is seeking the return of draft registration for people 18-26. If you don’t register it’s a felony.

[@bobwoods1302]

Good. Your country can ask much more of you than taking a flu shot. Reality check.

[@roykiefer7713]

Not exactly; draft registration for males at age 18 has been the law for many years (even throughout the now five decade “all volunteer” military period). What Congress has just done is more fully automat registration, based on existing data. Accordingly, just-turned-18 Johnny would no longer have to obtain and fill out a postcard form, and then mail it to the Selective Service System, or register online.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

@@roykiefer7713 that’s cool except I don’t know 1 18 year old male that has registered for years. I would like the stat on people that are currently registered. .

[@I_SuperHiro_I]

Should be 18-55

[@I_SuperHiro_I]

@@thereissomecoolstuffI did

[@johntaylor5968]

Always plenty of tax payers money available for this stuff eh. ? What the world spends on “ war readiness “ is mind boggling.

[@wattsmichaele]

And why are females on a ship????!!!…

[@patrickmccrann991]

Because they asked for equal rights and assignments.

[@NoGoBu]

To hell with that S, I'm joining the Infantry. 🪖🫡
