It actually seems like the coffin locker and wall locker give you a lot of storage space. It seems better than college dorm rooms in the sense that you have less things to keep track of when onboard.
Looks like the Damn Hilton compared the old days in the fleet. You folks should have road on the CV's after Nam... Those days Chiefs talked like “"They're gonna have to muster a 20 man working party to get my boot out of your ass.. now get up and get to work!!!"”
Wow..That is why you take you become an officer. Lieutenant Commanders and above get better housing on board. I do not understand how anybody can not go to college?
@0909bram36 I was stationed on this boat for 4 years. You cannot chose what ship you can go on, but before you join, you can chose what job you want to do. After boot camp and your first training school you will have a list of orders to chose from.To be most likely stationed on an aircraft carrier you would want to pick an aviation rate such as AT, AE, AM, AD, AO, ABH, ABE, ABF, AS. AT's and AE's have it pretty good on the boat. All the other rates i mentioned work pretty hard.
@ARzielke Haha, Have you ever had to spend 14 hours on the flight deck?? Some of the AIMD guys have it fairly easy, but Ive never seen an EM break a sweat.
@ARzielke I was an AE 2 years squadron two years AIMD. AIMD has its own kinds of stresses, but the work isnt hard. Theres a lot more paperwork and bullshit, and nobody seems to care about each other in AIMD, while in the squadron, you work your nuts off but everybody is best friends and covers each others asses.
What is the job where you don't necessarily specialize in anything? Is there a position where you're just a regular sailor or do you need a specialty? I'm looking to join.
I am a plankowner of the GW, first of all Luishazong, congrats on joining the Navy. I had a ton of fun when I was in. I honestly wish I never got out.
@TehMrNemo True there is a lot of crap to put up with but as long as you do your job and dont bitch about it. I was an undesignated seaman apprentice back in 1985 on my first ship USS Durham LKA114. I went before the striker board and was ok'd to strike SH. Made SH3 on Durham the on to USS Lake Champlain CG57 made SH2. Got out of active duty in 1990.

Can you choose to be on an aircraft carrier or does it depend on your job? I'm looking to join after high school.
