I was a Boats for 5 years and it was the best experience that ive ever had and i will never forget it. It takes alot of mental power to be out to sea for 9 months with one or two ports. Godbless the navy for the hard work they do.

If You or a family member is considering going in the navy and you want a non bs answer of what its like please feel free to give me a pm.

Nice pics but I always see pictures of people hitting balls into the water. Doesnt that get expensive?

[Gipetto]

Thats what they have MWR for "Morale welfare recreation" they give us what ever we need to stay sane.

I golfed for the first time yesterday. I can hit balls into water way better than any of you can.

What exactly does a typical Navy officer do? Not being a smartass, just genuinely curious.

We used to shoot ***** off the fantail of our little DDG, which oiler are you refueling from? USNS isnt it?

As far as what does a naval officer do?

Depends on how high in the chain of command you are and how good your CPO s and LPO s are that work for you - if they dont do their job you do a lot.

that a woman firing that m 14 with the shot line?

must be the new navy - that must suck

If you are talking junior officers, basically they screw things up so that the Chief has to fix them.

Seriously though, depends on what the career path is. A line officer usually moves around to different departments on the ship. Might spend a year in engineering, a year in operations, and a year in weapons learning all of those areas in preparation for more senior positions eventually.

A LDO (limited duty officer) concentrates more on a single area. For example, my boss on the Iowa was a career Intel officer, and thats all he ever did.
