LIFE AT SEA..
My life at sea, well imagine a cold ship , with alot of people and the same old food cycled throughout the months , the years. Advice . The best meal is breakfast ..Why. Made to order ,, no other time during your navy career will you have the choice of having you way.. So take advantage.. Also, drink milk early in the day , because they ,, leave that out the whole day,, so figure it out , bacteria, etc.. builds up.. If you like salads , that's cool, but after watching these fat sweaty dirt bags dripping and touching the salad with their hands.. yea, think another about another food choice.. Well the Pinoys.. the Filipino's have their illegal rice cookers and what they do with spam and eggs or corn beef ,, is amazing.. I've had master Chief's eat with us.. No names to protect their reputation's please , but they know who they are..
More advice, don't leave anything in the shower stalls,, because it will be gone faster than you can go back and get it, i know I 've done it and went back only to find nothing.. great ship mates huh? more like ship wrecks.. Oh,, Your rack,, don't even try to hide things underneath your rack,, yup,, nothing is sacred ,, these dirt bags will even steal your freaking underwear,, skids mark and all,, lol..
Another thing , dirt bags are a plenty.. and useless no common sense folks seem to thrive at sea,, They ask dun questions and do dumb things.. They demand things and wonder why we SUPPLY GUYS GET PISSED.. First off, SUPPLY DOESN'T DELIVER PARTS ! , NEXT YOU CANT FLY WITHOUT SUPPLY.. AND last. We work harder than most people think.. !!
Lastly, bring supplies , extra toilet paper , snacks,clothing like underwear t shirts , socks, medicines especially cold remedies,, because ship med will only give you the bare necessities..Now if your going on a deployment-- that's a long time away from family friends and life.. You need to bring your lap top, camera's i pods, cd, dvd's whatever to entertain yourself on those long days and nights in the middle of now where, As much training and drills , and working parties, you have alot of time to get depressed , restless , angry , upset , etc. deployment and the the navy life will either make you or break you. For me, I've become more jerkish, more anal , even angry when dealing with shipmates, especially the new school or the young bloods, because you guys are clueless. The old timers , we are less patient and even down right mean to the new schools, because you guys have no idea what real navy life is.. Imagine the days I had to go through , no Internet, no ipods , or cd's , dvds. lap tops.. back in the day we had the ships site tv,,, or maybe a vcr recorder in the berthing and of course certain fellas , like myself that would entertain my ship pies with stories and jokes and of course pop lockin, which is a African American street dancing i picked up during my days growing up in south San Diego.. The hood..
Life at sea is not for everyone, it's lonely , boring , frustrating , repetitive , and down right hard times. I mean , just imagine you have to sleep eat and work along side people who stink , who curse alot and have no respect for your belongings or your self. I mean , their are some good shipmates, but on a big boy like the one Im currently on.. It's a rat race, a working hell and a place of borken dreams and misguided youths, I do my share to strengthen my shipmates, but I see too many dirt bags and losers here .. But I go on.. because we have too, and for you guys about to go to sea life.. Good luck and be prepared for things that you never imagined possible , like people throwing up , people not paying attention to their watch standing duties, long hours , alot of work , no common sense, no respect for one another and most of all a general feeling of why am I here? It's a good life if you can handle the stress , because this is the most stressful thing you will ever do in your life.. Be a sailor on a sea going ship on deployment. Its a dream for those that can take it.. And a scream for those who cant'.. Those are the ones on restriction , liberty risk , working parties, shits lists.. and ultimately kicked out.. Its sounds like a scary place .. ?? But it's real maybe too real for you shore duty folks.. In all my years in the Navy.. Sea duty is the ultimate test of your will and mental strength.. Be strong and be ready because the life you are about to encounter will decide your decision to stay or go away
Navy!! Until my next story take care.. THE SOURCE PRODUCTIONS @ 2011
