navy its not just a job

[squidb8]

What the hell is that dude doing to the anchor chain. He might think its maintenance, but I'm seeing a clusterfuck.

[MrChestypuller1775]

I would join the United States Navy back in the 1940's-50's, but I think that the Navy got a little soft... That's why I'm going to be like my ole dad and become a Marine that way I can still live the lifestyle of a sailor just I'm trained better and more badass...

[Daddysatyr]

As a long-time resident of New Jersey, I can tell you Bayonne isn't exaclty a "glamour spot", either

[BarbossaThePirate]

One of the all-time best SNL commercials! Classic.

[KevlarNinja]

LOL, I saw this on SNL goes Commercial!

[samcook2003]

Turn 2 turn 2 lol

[DBMalone]

I was in the Navy and my ship was in Guam of all places (Guam stands for Give Up And Masturbate) at the time when this aired. St. Pat's day, 1979 (Guam was one week behind the US in network broadcast. I must have had the duty... I saw it on TV in my division's lounge area. We just watched in awe with our jaws hanging open... "someone was telling it like it is!" When it ended, we all fell over laughing and woke up everyone trying to sleep for the 0400 watch. LOL!

[4threconmarine]

Funny.They should title this:"This is your future if you flunk out of BUDS," and show it to all the little kiddies that want to be SEALS.

[BeechTreeITS]

@4threconmarine You must mean WHEN you flunk out of BUDS. Make sure you have Sub Vol in your pocket before you PT for BUDS or you could be Deck Div'n your entire enlistment. Love to the Trident from a bubblehead. BZ for all you do!

[wftjet]

Dan Aykroyd must have been the writer of this one (he's the narrator). Brilliant. Eric Idle even once said in an interview it would have been great if Dan Aykroyd had been in Monty Python.

[Gunfighter1b]

I chipped a lot of paint, and poured on a lot of red lead. Then I made BMSN and that was the end of the ape work for me. Went from chipping up non skid on a Tuesday to running the cleaning gear locker on Wednesday.

[eold2412]

I was stationed at Bayonne reserve fleet in the sixties. I had a great time here.

[irenaprude2010]

BAck when the US Navy was fun!

[l00c1v]

that s shitty

[purelysophia]

LOL

[squidb8]

I've finished my 20 year hitch, and this is still my favorite commercial.

Every booter thinks all they're going to do is the exciting 1% of the job, but someone's got to clean up and maintain equipment, and it isn't going to be BM1.

Just think of cranking as an award for being such a hard charger.

[techlogi7]

Im an Australian sailor and im telling you all, this is exactly what you do in the Navy. EXACTLY.

[doubanjiang]

Port of call: Bayonne, New Jersey! LMAO!

[jarkoer]

The sad thing is that nowadays they've got civilian contractors doing all that stuff now because they're cheaper than regular sailors.

[Gunfighter1b]

@jarkoer They are not cheaper it is just that someone can make money off them.

[4Freedomrider]

Lol I remember when they did this. Classic! Added to my Indy playlist.

[RoundenBrown]

Holy shit, this looks fun! Sign me up!

[wagsk8throo]

Happy hour bitches!!! lol. This parody brings back bad memories to anyone that knows what that means. Get over it!!! lol

[MrMoBidnizz]

So Im thinking of joining the navy..I assume its a bad idea?

[erniesharp]

@MrMoBidnizz Expect to spend the first few years as a janitor.

[EnriqueLovinLife]

@MrMoBidnizz Yeah... I'm an E-4 with 4 years in, heading up training for my department and getting nothing but perfect work evaluations. I'm still expected to field day (clean the shit out of your work space) 4 hours every Friday under an E-5 with half the time in the Navy that I have. Stupid 2% advancement...

[Vargas87]

@EnriqueLovinLife Yyyeah I was an E-5 on a sub doing the same shit you were bro lol. Good times =p

[wheatpuff]

I was thinking "wow, they were really honest in this commercial" and then I realized it was a parody lol. =l

[fighterpilot2k1]

That sums up the US Navy alright.

[soonerdave01]

I was in during the 90's. Guess what? Nothings changed. Haze gray and underway. FTN! PAPER CLIP!

[mistapohl]

I loved this when I saw it as a kid, now being in the military, this holds so true still today even 30 years later.

[chabba77]

Never

Again

Volunteer

Yourself

[InsomniacGirl]

Thanks so much for posting this, I've been looking for it as well. I remember this one, still get a huge laugh out of it, lol!

[mr357]

yeap the 70s when the cast was all coked up to the hilt. the last time SNL was funny was atleast 25 years ago

[jhillst]

@mr357 I think the last time SNL was funny was about 15-20 years ago, during the Hartman/Schneider/Farley/Myers­/Carvey/etc. era. But yeah, I agree there hasn't been much worth mentioning since then.

[narahimi]

Thank you thank you for posting this!!! I've been searching forever!!!

[koos219]

If I would have saw this before I joined...

[punkkaiser]

true its a shitty job!

[BankScamTakeover]

Cleaning big ass chains? I'm in!

[Oolarg]

Nothing says Navy excitement more than peeling potatoes and scrubbing toilets.

[Mycoollllllllll]

Lol, superb. Takes me back to the good old days of SNL. Please add more SNL commercials if you have any.

[DavidSontz]

I remember this also. This was when SNL was actually funny and was worth staying up late for.

[bambizzoozled]

I remember this skit from when I was a kid.
