Navy Damage Controlman - DC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- When there’s an emergency on board, there’s one team that’s on duty 24/7. Damage Controlmen. As a DC, you are a Navy firefighter and first responder, responsible for saving the lives of fellow Sailors. Whether there’s a burst pipe on the mess decks, or an explosion on the flight deck, you’re there to keep the ship and its crew out of harm’s way. Learn more about life as a DC at bit.ly/2wGoip1.
Every Marine an Infantrymen, every Sailor a Damage Controlmen.
The main issue with this rate is you gotta train and teach other rates how to be a fire fighters on the ship. And most aren't interested in learning.
I teach sailor's that I'm working with and I can agree with you. It comes down to your home your on the ship and if something goes down the only people you have are those beside you. Fighting fires isn't a hard task until you have a bunch of little accidents that people make like not disposing hazmat properly and then it causes a big casualty. I came in the navy as Epact with experience as a firefighter in the civilian side. It is honor to serve and protect all of you. The Navy has improved it's defensive damage control! Hooyah!!
Not the Ship I was on. Everyone was involved. the ONLY Sailors i ever had a problem with were Ensigns.
I'm pregnant.
I don't feel like working.
@@benfultz4463You've obviously never written an operational report before but please do go on...
Probably one of the hardest enlisted jobs. DC's deal with actual possibilities of death...
Hey I ship out on //and I was wondering if you know what a damage controlman dose on a daily or the day to day deployed
@whosbait8895 edit your post to remove the date (OPSEC)
But DC's are incredibly important to the overall safety of everyone during emergencies. So they do a TON of drills...all day and night. Think of them as "emergency vehicle and personnel" There's more that they do, but they are definitely a 'no nonsense rate' and that's due to the nature of their work
So, you'll wear a red coveralls and be maneuvering to all areas of the ship
We definitely love our DC's and always need more good ones - do great things out there
@@bmyers6831 This helped a lot thank you so much.I will do my best
as a volunteer firefighter of almost 6 years, i have experienced watching people i care about die in front of me. its not fun at all, but the key is to communicate with your peers, and they will help you through it. im still seeing flashbacks from something that happened 3 years ago but Igot through it and anyone else can too. even if something happens, you'll be ok :)
I was in for 20 yrs , fought all kinds of fires floods etc. ! one improvement I see here is the scott air pack, vs the old A3 And A4 oba that we wore.
A friend just retired after 20 years
I'm going to talk to a recruiter wednesday. This is the rate im hoping to be able to get into!
the school is alot of fun!
You’ll also learn basic damage control in boot camp and it is so much fun
@@gus452 hell yeah I'm ready! I ended up getting equipment operator!
Jacolby Kirkhart ahhhh EO, you’ll be a seabee
I ship out next week and DC is my rate! 😀👍🏽
Please keep uploading these
Agreed
I was a BT then switched to HT and I absolutely LOVED fighting fires. I was ALWAYS #1 Hose man. HT-3 Tom Fast always had my back. Once the Chiefs berthing was on fire and once e entered the space, We worked our way to the Rack that was ablaze and everything around it was on fire I yelled over the noise "It's the Chief master at Arms rack. Lets wait minute and he looked right in my eyes, grinned and nodded and we let it burn for a few minutes and then commenced to putting out the fire. when we got back to the HT shop, after our equipment was all stowed and we sat there having a smoke. Ht-1 said That was a pretty good job guys. Fast leaned over and said "Ask Beer what stunt he pulled?" I just laughed and said "We took our time to make sure we did it right"
God bless you folks. Back in the day, we were all firefighters, not the gear you have today. OBA’s(they were explosive), mechanical foam(yeah, the stuff made from animal blood), sea water 1 1/2” hoses and if the fire pumps worked, the the p-250 gasoline fire pump complete with rigid suction hose with a foot valve, hoped they worked, at least they did when we needed them, thank you PMS, no, not that PMS(planned maintenance system, PMS and R div)HELL, it’s been 40 years, I hope they’ve improved since then. It can get really REAL when you’re 130 miles offshore and sitting on top of 3000 feet of ocean when shit hits the fan.
And above all, thank you for what you do for us and each other. Keeping each other safe keeps all of us safe.
Former MM2, Gearing Class DD GUY.
1977 USS OKINAWA (LPH-3) (2) Shipboard fires, one forward ship, Boatswain's Locker, other Marine's barracks (just other side of bulkhead of engineering living space, where I was, got too hot to the touch!)5 days out at sea, 5,000 miles away from port, en-route to Pearl Harbor, 1230 hours, jumped out of our racks and fighting fire with OBA's on, ankle deep in fire-main (sea water).
Damage Control is EVERYONE'S responsibility!
At least that what i was taught when i was on active duty from 1986-89.
What score do i need on the asvab to get in this rate?
@@Slattk1d at least a 50 I just signed my contract as DC
@@fallark2610 when do you ship,Im the going for the same rate.
elwin38 lol.
Anyone notice this the same ship we’re on during battle stations 😂
Shhh! Don't tell em that ;)
@@Jakedman21 🤣😂🤐
Swore in as a DC Jul. 7th, leave for bootcamp Aug. 9th. Wanted to be in MA, but MEPS had other plans for me.
exact same thing happened to me bro and your in A school now right? how is it going
I’m thinking about joining navy to do this to the people who are in it is it worth it and should I join go become it?
My Dad was a DC on the USS George Washington from 2001-2005.
He was a DC on the USS Sullivans from 1997-2001
i might try to join is it worth it?
When you’re back in civilian world do you have to go through any fire fighter Academy or are you basically a certified fire fighter when your time is up?
@Aiden Mardis-Rickard thanks this is very helpful
@@gasolinepark4237 what did he say? His comment is gone
@@ajjohnson6432 i think he said something about joining the AF instead of the USN if we wanted a firefighting career because in the AF its more solid.
@@gasolinepark4237 gotcha
Just swore in yesterday as a DC, I ship out to boot on Jan 22
Isaiah Libunao same here brother but I ship out next month! Congratulations to you
That's cool, I signed a contract to leave Jan 14th ,for this rate, A few weeks ago a chief called me and said they would like me to switch rates to AECF program to be a Fire Controlman.I Told them ok ,but I think I still wanna be a DC, Long story short, I might see you at Great Lakes.
John Albert David appreciate it man sane to you
UndeadRomeo hell yeah man stay a DC
Isaiah Libunao boorda hall or uss cole remember that
Is there CWO for this Rate?
Please do Machinist’s Mate and keep loading more videos of different rates!
Sebastian Pena everyone hates that job
Half of this is Battlestations footage. Just cant tell you which ones ;)
straddling that disclosure contract there pal
I thought it was
I can't tell what is real and what is battle stations. I went through boot camp before that simulator was built. (2001). We had this building where the walls were painted to look like bulkheads, and we had to use our imagination.
Just went through it, so easy to tell
@@michaelglover2871 I guess that means the guys at great lakes did a fantastic job then haha. The building they have there now really I'm quite impressive.
What do DC's do on a daily basis? When they aren't training for fires, are they just cleaning and on standby?
I wanna know too
@@Slattk1d You will be doing maintenance on fixed firefighting systems and repair locker equipment. DC3 2000-2004 USS Theodore Roosevelt
@@hughesusn how long is a school for this?
@@shotsjoms5901 it was 8 weeks when i was in. Idk how long it is now.
hughesusn it’s about 8 weeks general schooling and 3 weeks for job training.
Welcome my brothers, welcome to the fire side
We didn't have any of that gear ! 1968/72. SCBA and your Hose . That was it ! Crash guys on the Flight Deck had gear.
So basically any rate in the navy? Im an EM and ive done pretty much everything shown in here.
Jay Jay EM MM EN DC HT are all Fireman jobs
The DC rate gets advanced training though, not just the basics
Gus Rousonelos agreed
Every sailor is a fire fighter, DC/HT are the Advanced teams. While others head to firelockers to gear up, DC/HT have a rapid response team that run to the fire till the other teams are ready.
As a former HT/ rapid response team member I can tell you we train everyone onboard to assist in fire fighting. The main fire fighting force is the DC/HT as advance training is apart of those rates daily jobs.
@@qp2qp226 As a DC, does any of the training or knowledge you acquire while serving in the Navy be of any use if you were to pursue a civilian firefighting career afterwards? Saw a guy saying you're better off going into the air force for that.
...fire fighting gear has come a long way since the Cold War. 41 for freedom!
LOL...look at the "new" OBA's. They were different in the 90's and back.
Called SCBA now
I ship for this Job in November is there anyone who is or was a DC that I could ask a few questions too?
What kind of watches do DC’s stand? I’m an MC and want to learn more about
Just make sure you dont get kicked in the face going down and land on your scba and about break your back lol

I leave to bootcamp Wednesday and this is my rate:) Can you explain the tasks DCs have to do. What was the hardest part of this job and does this require a lot of math because I suck at math lol.
@@nyasia19Rosado Good Luck! I suck at math too but luckily it is minimal math. I promise it will be very challenging but so worth it. Not to mention anyone you meet in life will find this rate very cool!!

@@vatocuzzo22 yessir i made it out welcome to the worlds finest navy🫡
@@mercedesg.6301 On a day to day basis we run drills and do maintenance on all of our equipment. Since we're also engineers we also help out the other engineering rates when needed.
as a volunteer firefighter, trying to join the navy, would love that job. im going to meps on monday. do they have normal structural firefighting as well as ARFF and boat fires? whats the minimum asvab score for that mos?
Hi There- Typically one needs at least a score of 32. Additionally, a score of 50 is considered competitive.
There are study guides and tutoring programs available for the ASVAB, although recruiters are not allowed to provide coaching or tutoring. You can find more information about the ASVAB here: www.navy.com/joining-the-navy/get-started/prepare-your-journeyd?activity=1280200 And here: official-asvab.com/?sf81736525=?activity=1280200

@@americasnavy i passed the asvab but my score wasn't enough for this job so I'm going to retake it

How long is a school for this?
Shots Joms 10 weeks
15 days A-School but you must complete BECC prior which is about 6 weeks
@@davidbangura8469: Nice. 2 Questions though; Do Navy Damage Controlman do any welding?
How difficult is the mechanical "handy-work" element to the DC Rate? I'm good with basic car maintenance and Carpenter work as a civilian, but not much else.
I'm just nervous about taking up this rate.
You don’t weld at all. A DC man is specialized in putting out fires and maintaining the condition of firefighting equipment. Your primary task is to fight fires and control flooding. It’s also your responsibility to teach other rates about DC, as everyone is required to be basic DC qualified.
@@davidbangura8469 that building is the definition on depression 🤣
how can i get this job if im color blind?
Hi there, thank you for reaching out. To learn more about medical careers in the Navy, please click on the link here: bit.ly/3BouodW
@@americasnavy Thanks but im not into medical careers in the navy though, i was wondering if i got corrective color blind glasses or contacts would that be ok or what i could do to bypass this?
Hi there, apologies for the mix-up. Whether or not a specific health condition is qualifying or not, is typically determined on a case-by-case basis. The first step you should take to learn more is to reach out to a recruiter via live chat. They would be happy to provide the best insight as it pertains to your health condition.

@Fransico Buttersworth who said I was hot racking? Also would rather hot rack in a sub then step a foot on any target😂
