What US Navy Sailors Do During Their Off Time
As we all know, defending a country is not an easy task. Doing so requires great power and with great power, comes great responsibility. As soon as a naval warship is deployed from its port, its crew members onboard must work constantly and ceaselessly to ensure the ship is operational and ready to provide naval support at all times.
On warships like destroyers, naval sailors are required to be active for most hours of the day. At some point, however, these soldiers are relieved of their daily chores and given the chance to take a breather. What do these sailors do during their invaluable spare time? Let us find out how they let off some steam.
It is a well-known fact that being a US Navy sailor is not an easy occupation. It requires being isolated at sea for long periods and away from their loved ones. As part of their initial training, these soldiers are made to understand the hazards that come with being a naval sailor. While they are at sea, they can be exposed to bad weather, drowning, shipwrecks, and many other dangers aboard the ship. This part of their training helps them prepare for and avoid such occupational hazards.

I spent around 3 years combined at sea in US Navy and never once had a swim call on the ship. I wonder if this was purposefully for the cameras and low recruiting numbers.

When you are afloat at sea there is not any real "time off" except sleeping and eating. It's work 7 days a week, with a full shift in your department followed by standing watch when you are scheduled to do so.

It ended at 4 PM but that was when we started the 4 PM to 8 PM watch. Those days started at 4 AM and ended at 8 PM.

Well, I would imagine that after a fighter pilot lands their body would be thrown into a lot of tension, because of what it just went under alone, especially since they're flying under 7 to 9 times their own body weight as they pull Gs and on top of that there is also the stress of training, or fighting in a confined space. I could go on about Navy Soldiers, but I empathize with what kinds of mental stresses you go through and how exhausting it might be - though even Aircraft Carriers prove the sarcastic saying that "There's a Starbucks on every block." 😝

I am not American but so many people do not understand how much America has subsidized the free world. Too often I hear comments about how America spends to much on there military or how we have had peace we don't need a military completely ignoring that the only reason we don't need a military is because America has one. China, Russia, North Korea they are all lead by dictators and have stated that they want to invade X for what ever reason and will invade if they believe the can get away with it. The only reason these dictators have not done so is because America remained united and strong. Russia invading Ukraine has been a wake up call for the rest of the world in that War will happen if only one side wants it, its not consensual and if you display weakness others will walk over you.

When I was in I was a Information system technician which was a combo of IT and Radioman. Most pick which side they wanted to stand watch on. I got qualified at a low rate on both sides, so I usually stood about 18 hours a day on watch. 12 for radioman and 6 for IT. After I get off watch I usually ate whatever meal was next in the day and then get my uniform ready for the next shift and then go to sleep for maybe 3 hours to wake up and take a shower and eat another meal before going on shift. The real crappy days were when they would run general quarter drills and that would run for an hour or so which would ruin my sleep time. you did all this for 8 months straight 7 days a week when on deployment except when you got into port

I was an RM (one of the last classes from NTC/SSC San Diego-Aug 1996) stationed on a FFG. You're not lying about the crazy hours. I usually worked 12-14 hours over night and without fail, while trying to sleep, they ran General Quarters. I was DC 5 (midship) lead hoseman. It could last anywhere from 1 hour to 8 hours. Definitely sucked! The one thing I enjoyed, when a watch over lapped, was going to the helo deck with lights out at night and seeing all the stars and milky way. Have never seen anything like it since.

Definitly makes sense that sailors would have a quite different work time then other branches, at least with the Army, Marines, and partially the Air Force (If you're part of a land detachment), you'd be assighned to a base, when on free time you probably could leave the base to interact with any nearby town, and sometimes your family lives nearby or on base so you could still see them. Not so with the Navy as there's no nearby town unless the ship is docked at port, so you're technically always on the clock in the Naby until you dock at port. Bases can try their best to replicate a town or homely setting, but the Navy definitly needs to get creative as we see in this video. But hey at least you got your fellow sailors for company.
@DaddyHutJr
@DaddyHutJr 8 ай бұрын
Nah, I'd say it works similarly to how other branches operate. Almost everything in this video is regarding deployment activities, while the ship is at home port, you're definitely still seeing you're family and interacting within the town you're in.

As a civilian aviation photographer I was invited on board of the USS Forrestal for 4 daysin the Mediterranean in 1991. I was flown on board by a C-2 from Ben Gurian International and back on Friday and during those 4 days I gained an enormous respect for the men on board (there were no women sailors yet at that time) and for what they are sacrificing keeping us safe here in America. I am originally from Europe and will always cherish those memories and hail the newfound respect for the people on board working almost around the clock every day for 6 months in a row....

As X Royal Navy we spent many times set at action stations on exercise and months at sea but how many people can say they have had a hands to bathe (UK Navy term for jump of the ship and have a swim) over the deepest part of the Marianas Trench, the Equator , infact most seas in the world from Australia to the Americas. Been all around the world 3 times and more countries than this old memory can remember .

Ever heard of Heather Boswell? What happened to her (and another NOAA crew member whose wound were severe but not as horrific as Heather’s)? And the crew’s open ocean swim off the stern of NOAA’s Discoverer? The great white shark attack that twice took her under water and shook her like a rag doll? And kept coming at her? And how the crew was in a tug of war to pull her from the shark’s jaws? Despite the fact a Zodiac with three crew members watching for sharks? It’s a miracle she survived. The whole thing was filmed by a crewman and it’s been featured on Shark Week. And it’s on KZbin, easily found using her name. Swims like this are fun. I know because I dove into the water and swam off the off stern of NOAA’s Oceanographer. Only once. Because later that day while fishing off the stern for mahi mahi, a shark grabbed the fish and poke out of a crew’s hands. I would never ever do it again because open ocean swims are dangerous even with lookouts.

Time off at sea???? If we had time off it was after our 12 hour shift and it consisted of taking a shower maybe watch a movie or play cards and sleep as much as possible. Swim Call... never had it. Of course I was in in the late 70's. Our only real time off was when we pulled into port and then....watch out. except every 4th day when you had duty.

don't let this fool you it highly depends on your command yes some commands have captains that take pride within making sure their crew has good morale why others do not. for instance my last deployment was 6 months and the cpt openly admitted he would not put in for port visits. we hit 1 port for 2 days and no one got liberty it was a working port. meanwhile your lucky to get at least 4 hours of sleep. you think oh we worked all we at least we get holiday routine when then again the cpt is like morale nah lets do Ras evolutions and then right after you have watch. they don't tell you about the cpts that make you work all week and then get underway on friday and pull in on sunday and not go home until 5pm then 7am work next morning. for some the navy has been trash and there is a valid reason on why no one is Renlisting.

I was on the America(CV-66). During Dessert Storm. we got two warm beers(45 days straight, at sea) and were a day away from getting our next set of beer(89 days straight), before we hit our only port...Hurghada, Egypt. They had a tour to Luxor and I signed up. I got the opportunity to visit Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens and King Tutankhamun's tomb. I was an aircraft mechanic and we worked 12 hours on and 12 hours off.@@TheSalar
