US Navy Submarine Officer Lt. Haney Hong & Lt.Chris Carter

[herodotus53]

I just signed my contract to attend nuclear propulsion school as an enlisted man! I'm shipping out to Great Lakes on January 5th, and I can't wait to "power" through Charleston and become the third generation of nuclear submariners in my family.

GO NAVY!

[veson231]

Could I join the submarine force with a slight breathing irregularity and mild ADHD (I take medication, but it has been increasingly easier to control without the meds, caffeine works well) I have a B+ to A- GPA. The breathing irregularity is non-asthmatic.

[dkkght46]

What long round and hard and full of seaman.....a submarine!

[turkghost72]

im thinking of doing one or two tours (8 years) as enlisted then i might do officer school after that

[jethromayham]

This is great! I want to join the Nay and become a torpedo.

[worriesovernothing]

im planning on joining by the end of this year :)

[mindylinky]

thanks all who serve

[KingDega1]

I'm a senior in high school and this video has inspired me to join the U.S. Navy and become a submariner.

[baberaider18]

@KingDega1 Be an officer, enough said.

[KingDega1]

@baberaider18 Holy shit, I forgot I ever made this comment here. Yeah, the irony is the only way I could join now is by getting a college degree and going in as an officer since I got disqualified when trying to join as enlisted. Oh well.

[Abeastlypie]

I don't know what branch I want to join. I'm a freshman in high school and I'm 99.9% sure that I want to join the military, but I don't know if I want to join the Marines or the Navy. My eyesight is too bad to be a pilot (20/100). I love boats, I love guns, I love submarines, and I love yelling. I really can't figure this out and I can't figure out if I want to be an officer or a enlistee...

Please help.

[guitarjcr]

Join the Navy as a corpsman. You'll be able to have the option to work with the Marines. Corpsmen are needed everywhere.

[Abeastlypie]

I think that I'll join the USN as an Officer and try to be a Submariner.

[monkeywagon]

be an officer if you can. you get paid more and it sucks just as much.

[wangwee3]

@Abeastlypie Well sense this was posted a year ago im guessing your a sophomore now. But I really hate to break this to you...but with 20/100 vision there isn't much the military is going to allow you to do.

[kainazzo101]

LCDR Carter is USS Charlotte's new ENG

[vipleather]

nub stands for (non useful body) a seaman which still needs to finish his quals.

[Herman8r]

I served with LT Carter on SSN 708. Great guy, would definitely serve with him again, but he did threaten to stab me in the eye with a grease pencil and give me "Grease Poisoning". I'm sure I deserved it at the time, but "grease poisoning"... really?

[19Dieppa91]

lol funny story.

[theflava]

Yeah, I did 5 years as an enlisted submariner. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but it definitely is pretty stressful at times. Choose your rate, choose your fate.

[einox81]

This video has actually motivated me to the next level. I want to join the Navy. I want to become an Officer. I want to become a submariner.

[pathos1983]

Stupid Coner Nubs actually drive submarines. Southern Belle. Trotter's. Irish rose. CWP's QA-2's SOMS. No sleep.

[jimmyc20653]

Actually I was a "stupid coner nub" (A-gang) for a while. Got out, after 7 years, as a MM1 (SS/DV) and went on to work at a nuke plant as a Nuclear Plant Operator. Made $145,000 last year with no degree and $165,000 in 2007. Navy is a great way to jump start a career. Join and work hard and you will be rewarded. We are constantly hiring in the civilian nuke field for all ex-Navy Engineering rates.

[pathos1983]

Random rant. Sorry. I know quite a few of my ex-nuke buddies who went to work for power plants and are doing quite well. I'm just trying to test my abilities in Biomedical Engineering right now before falling back on experience. Former fast attack MM2 (ss) nuke

[PrivateMat]

my uncle was on a submarine during korea and it sunked so dont call them "stipid coner nubs" their heros we fight for freedom! they will never be stupid coner nubs they protect you every day and you should thank them! not calling them nubs nor stupid!

[pathos1983]

Coner refers to submarine personnel not working or having any interaction with the reactor. This term only has relevance to nuclear submarines. I am sorry to hear about your uncle, and I respect all of my fallen submarine brothers. Nub refers to newly arrived personnel that have yet to qualify much and are therefore unable to be properly used. And anyone can be stupid. I was called much worse.

[PrivateMat]

lot of poeple lie to me :( i ask what nub means and he said a sucky loser that dam liar and im sorry for the stuff

[Jovian84]

how hard is it to stay in shape on a submarine? or a ship for that matter?

[wafflejack69]

The ships have fitness areas. Not sure about submarines.

[jwilde642]

We had exercise bikes, stair climbers, a treadmill, stuff like that, tucked in wherever we could fit it. There's plenty of ways to improvise, of course.

[Guyisaritelegend]

How does the US military keep going, it seems as if half of you are hippies XD

[CaptainAmerica322]

Haha, he isn't in the military. I don't know any hippies that are in the Military. But then again, they say the soldier is the most anti-war individual.

[Guyisaritelegend]

Yeah, but in the country, or at least on the Internet, there a bloody load of them XD. also, good luck join the US army, in most people (Outside the US) they are a whole lot better than the marines.

[CaptainAmerica322]

Oh, yes. Very true. A LOT of hippies, mostly stupid college students. And thanks for the luck. I agree. I used to be into the whole Semper Fi Marines thing, but I saw them for what they really are...overrated. A former Marine actually told me that. He left the Marines to join the US Army.

[NavyMomATA]

Thank You for you service to your country.  I'm a Proud Navy Mom of a Sub Mariner sailor

[dknyc323]

LMAO

I love how he casually says "we were driving around in the PACIFIC" haha

[Firithfenion]

I wanted to go to the submarines but I was rejected because I always sleep with open windows.

[neutrino78x]

Yes, there is extensive psychological screening to serve on submarines (I am a former submariner myself, was an enlisted sonar technician, 1999-2003). Also the warfare pin we wear, for officers it is Gold Dolphins, for enlisted it is Silver Dolphins, requires knowledge of all major systems of the submarine (must be able to draw diagrams, explain use, etc.) as well as how to fight disasters. All submariners must earn it within 9 months. All personnel respond to emergencies on a submarine.

[Kingofdetroit2004]

Chris Carter?

Famous television producer, Chris Carter?

Just kidding!

[MBCenglish]

U.S. is the S.Korean ally which I can believe in most. And a S.Korean Immigration serves as in the Navy Submarine Force. That means our alliance and saved motherland. S.Korean never forget U.S veteran who fought against N.korean Communism. ----From S.korea.

[gforcewarrior]

Ha.."that 12 hours is yours..there might be SOME training"..maybe once you have your warfare pin.

I went out on a fast attack this past Summer with NROTC and the J.O.'s said they had to spend that time studying or qualifying for different things and that they had to choose between sleeping, eating, and hygiene at times.

[neutrino78x]

gforcewarrior is correct. Submarine life is very stressful; it is common to spend 2 days without sleeping. Personally, the longest I ever spent without sleep while underway was 4 days. You could stand a 6 hour watch underway, be halfway back to the rack, then get called to return to assist in operations, or there could be a drill, or an actual fire or other emergency. The mission always takes precedent over over sleeping. Also I was in 2 real fires on the submarine, they were out quickly.

[anonymzs]

im canadian =\ our navy doesnt really have as many options

[CraftLulz]

HOOYAH!

MIDN 4/C

[AarmOZ]

I was a submariner, and all I got was a lousy sweatshirt and a bill for $25,000.

[DynamicManic]

holy shit are you serious 25 grand for work

[AarmOZ]

They are asking me to pay them $25,000 back. I had re-enlisted.... then the Navy felt I was infit for duty and seperated me (Honorable Discharge) and now they gave me a bill for $25,000 to recoup for portions of the re-enlistment bonus they gave me.

[saxquiz]

w00t dominoes!

[noobynico]

[mikestrash]
