What is ship life like in the Navy as an enlisted man?
Just want some basic information on living on a ship in the Navy. What's it like? Anything you guys have to offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Day to day life would be great. I get the living conditions. It's small and inconvenient.
I'm not sure what you're looking for exactly. Do you mean "what is day to day life like?" or do you mean "what are the living conditions on a ship?"
If you edit our past with some specifics, I'll be glad to answer any questions.
Edit:
Day to day life while inport is not unlike working at a building in which you go work in the morning then go home in the afternoon. Generally, you'll have "quarters" in the morning where any pertinent information concerning the ship's schedule, work events, etc, etc, will be given out to the crew. Then you may either go to PT or just start work. Your work will be to do whatever job you've been trained to do. Nights and weekends are yours to do as you see fit unless you have duty (which is usually once a week) where you have to stay on the ship to stand security watches and respond to any emergencies. You just sleep on the ship in your bunk rather than go home.
Underway is similiar in all things except that you obviously can't go home in the evening. Almost everyone also stands underway watches (radar, communications, driving the ship, etc). E-mail, internet, and telephone services are all available while underway (unless you're doing something secret and the C.O. shuts it down). Also television is available and the ship has an extensive collection of first-run movies that are donated by the movie studios fairly soon after they are released in theatres. Meals are available 4 times a day- breakfast, lunch, dinner, and mid-rats which is served at around midnight (mid-rats=midnight rations) for those crewmembers who have to stand the night watch. There is a ship's barber shop, a store, a post office, and a medical facility. Space is at a premium but you sort of get used to it after a short while and just learn to deal with it.
