Thank you for your service!!! I appreciate you taking the time to help others beginning their service. Great advice!!! I'd add a multitool, and a headlamp to the list. Also other good backup music sources are cassette players/or cd players. I love movies, music, and reading too.
Too bad we didn't have the technology that's available today when I was in the Navy (1987-1991). Deployments would have been so much easier to deal with. I had a ton of cassette tapes and my Walkman w headphones to keep me musically entertained. CDs weren't even out yet or cell phones. You said deployments are now 7,8, and 9 months? They were 6 months when I served unless the ship got extended. I can't imagine a 9 month cruise..
Lol you’d be surprised what Amazon can do 🤣 lol joking, so all mail shipped to a military installation gets sent to a mass shipping area that gets distributed to each base no matter where they are the world, if on a ship it gets put onto a cargo type ship that eventually makes its way to us and we link up next to it and get all our mail food and parts hauled over
Nornorvlog im “older”, been a wife, had a career, the works,... still bored and need more fulfillment. Fear is just a sign you need to break out of a comfort zone. Do. It.
Usually what you’re scared of is the best thing for you to grow. Will you work hard? Yes. But the pros out weigh the cons. I contemplated for years but I finally did and glad I did
OS2, what did you learn during deployment that you never would've expected to come across? Im in A school for damage controlman. can i order snacks online? like clif bars? how does communication with your loved ones work? how often can you speak with them via FaceTime or phone call out on sea??
jungle bungalow Yes, you can order snacks online. As far as communicating with your family, there’s your ship’s email, they have phone cards available to use pay phones, depending on where you work you may have access to a POTS line (makes calls home without paying) but they’re usually in khaki offices, and some commands allow access to FB messenger. Hope that helped a little 💜
is there really enough space for all this stuff under your rack? That's my main worry :/ Like I wanna be prepared but I worry about there being enough space
Of course. I’m speaking from experience I’ve been on 2 deployment I wouldn’t talk about it if it’s not something I can personally Vouche for , you learn to make space for things
Great video. At 14:00, discussing mp3 players, you mention certain conditions where you can't use Bluetooth. Can the mp3 player still have Bluetooth as long as you aren't using that feature, or does it have to be one that does not have the capability at all?
Thank you for this video, my son goes to boot camp in June, and I'm trying to get alot of info for when he goes on deployment. Also that way I can send him extra stuff I his care packages. I truly appreciate this. I'm going to have him watch this. Thank you for your service. ⚓💙🇺🇲. ( I'm going to rewatch and write down stuff) thank you again.
What about like women's birth control, if they choose to be on the pill. Can they ask the base OBGYN for a year supplies, or like a 7-9 months supply or do they have to switch forms of Birth control?
Hello Ma'am, Are we allowed to listen to "music", while working out on board the ship? I will be joining the Navy after this semester and hopefully join as an E-4. You've been very helpful and inspiring. Sincerely, Ron
Ok, never thought someone could bring their phone on deployment. Gtk. I'm a big reader myself, and I know that books can take up a lot of space. Speaking of books, are books allowed @ boot camp to read???? If not, no biggie.
Haven't been deployed, but based on your list, I would add baby wipes or some sort of wet wipe. It sounds like the conditions are not hygienic on a ship. There's a gentleman on a different UA-cam channel talking about showering while the toilets are clogged and black water spilling into the bathroom floor due to the ship motion 😱
I love your channel it’s so personal and informative. Plus your beautiful now I’m going to take care of my teeth because i don’t floss. (Don’t drag me 😭)
One leaf a day omgah thanks for answering, that may be my exact route too! Do you have a BA? I was told whatever the major is affects what you get. Im just starting to look over the asvab mechanical.
Vanessa Darrough A school. You'll get these things called "Orders" and it tells you where you go after graduation ( From boot camp) But you'll be able to go home you'll just use your leave days you earned in bc
Girl I brought like 2 suitcases 😂😂 and you get ready like normal , your berthing is full of other girls too so everyone’s gonna be doing their makeup etc
You truly inspire me and push me to go through with my dreams of joining the navy. Keep thriving and grinding❤️
I’m so scared to join and be away from family but it’s really what I want to do
how is it?@@katiebaudino3666

Thank you for your service from ASMAN Kevin Shelby USS Guam LPH-9 AIMD division Norfolk Virginia 1979-1983
Yay! Thanks so much for this Z!
Your welcome love

mine is 11 months next january
First. You look gorgeous 🥰😊🥰
Thank you 😌
When your on deployment how does Amazon get to you in the middle of the ocean?
Lol you’d be surprised what Amazon can do 🤣 lol joking, so all mail shipped to a military installation gets sent to a mass shipping area that gets distributed to each base no matter where they are the world, if on a ship it gets put onto a cargo type ship that eventually makes its way to us and we link up next to it and get all our mail food and parts hauled over
@@ZENEZ oh that’s so convenient, I’m in the middle of the ocean but that doesn’t stop me 😂💗
Hey lovely 👋🏾 great video
I am prepping for deployment and you hit a lot of great points
can you film your everyday make up routine for work ? 💕
Are y'all allowed to bring hair dryers and flat irons?
Most definitely
@@ZENEZ Thanks so much for responding!!!
I wonder how many women on a ship are as good about their looks, etc as she is. She is fantastic.
I wanna join but then again I’m really afraid but it’s the only option I have left

Zenez Belalcazar awesome, thanks so much for the info 💪🏼
Did you bring a suitcase
Girl hell yeah I had sooo much stufff in there too lol
Im watching this kind of videos so I can send stuff for my husband. This is his first deployment and I heard that the ship isn’t very hygienic.
Can you make a video about tattoos and policy especially while in RTC
I sure can love
@@ZENEZ thank you so much!!!
They honestly don’t care too much about tattoos
@@karrijoy2323 ok because I have tattoos but then I qualified at MEPS both times
ladominque hamiton when do you go to basic?
Great video. At 14:00, discussing mp3 players, you mention certain conditions where you can't use Bluetooth. Can the mp3 player still have Bluetooth as long as you aren't using that feature, or does it have to be one that does not have the capability at all?
Great video... I shipped so many snacks to my daughter when she deployed. HooYah sailor!! what’s your rate?
Hi, I’m an OS, operations specialist
Zenez Belalcazar awesome! thank you for your service!!! Praying for you and all our sailors daily!
@@ZENEZ girl i could tell by how pretty you are that you an OS😍

Another tip on electronics, make sure the automatic offload app feature on your phone is turned off lol
What about like women's birth control, if they choose to be on the pill. Can they ask the base OBGYN for a year supplies, or like a 7-9 months supply or do they have to switch forms of Birth control?
You have a medical clinic onboard they keep all that
As a former OS3 on "The Mighty Ike (CVN-69)" you represent us "scope dopes" very well!
Is deployment different from being stationed? Is deployment only on ships for long months? I’m asking for the travel sense.
Hello Ma'am,
Are we allowed to listen to "music", while working out on board the ship?
I will be joining the Navy after this semester and hopefully join as an E-4.
You've been very helpful and inspiring.
Sincerely,
Ron
Yes I throw my AirPods in and I’m in my zone
Can you bring a hair straightener?
Can you bring art supplies? I'm a drawer/painter and am headed out in a month. I wasn't sure if those type of things would be okay to bring
Yes! Bring whatever soothes your mind, your gonna need it
Those rack lights though!
Are they authorized aboard?
Whats the food differences and activities on a carrier compared to a small ship
what gel nail kit did you purchase from amazon?
The gellen brand
Hey girl, your comentraries is true and right on target.
how would you compare ship food/galley. to bootcamp/ A school food/galley?
As a future BM I wonder if I will get deployed with it being my first year?
did you end up deploying
I was thinking of getting an old MP3 player for the ship lol
girl I love you sm your hella helpful ❤️❤️
I’m curious, this is a lot of stuff but how many bags are you allowed to bring ??
You can bring as much as you want as long as you make space for it
Zenez Belalcazar thanks for replying :) when I get out of school I want to join the navy
If I send mini cup cereal do they have access to milk ?
I ship for boot camp on January 29
Rebecca Marie good luck & be careful!!!😎
Im preparing for the ASVAB test
Omg yes !! you answered all my questions especially the wig/weave part 🤣❤️
Ok, never thought someone could bring their phone on deployment. Gtk. I'm a big reader myself, and I know that books can take up a lot of space. Speaking of books, are books allowed @ boot camp to read???? If not, no biggie.
Can u bring your stuff onboard before you deploy?
Yes
i really want to join to US Navy 😭
Why don't you?
Same here. I'm trying to lose some weight so I can join.
Looks like I’ll need 3 suitcases 👁👁😁
Why do you have to bring your own food and toiletries? Why aren’t they supplied?
They are supplied, but they aren’t always the best of options
Haven't been deployed, but based on your list, I would add baby wipes or some sort of wet wipe. It sounds like the conditions are not hygienic on a ship. There's a gentleman on a different UA-cam channel talking about showering while the toilets are clogged and black water spilling into the bathroom floor due to the ship motion 😱

Lmfao awwww well it’s never too late to start
Love your content. Mind doing one on older women joining or already in the navy? 🙏
I sure can love
Second that, I'm 39, just joined, supposed to go to bootcamp on May 20th
One leaf a day hey good luck! What do u expect to be doing out there?
@@disbeesh5673 Right after bootcamp I'm going to Pensacola to A school, training as an aviation technician
One leaf a day omgah thanks for answering, that may be my exact route too! Do you have a BA? I was told whatever the major is affects what you get. Im just starting to look over the asvab mechanical.
Do You Come Back Home After Boot Camp ?
Vanessa Darrough yes and no
Huh ?
Vanessa Darrough i legit just got out boot camp Dec 13th and it depends on the time you graduate and if you wanna use your 4.0 leave days
So If You Dont Where Do You Go After That ?
Vanessa Darrough A school. You'll get these things called "Orders" and it tells you where you go after graduation ( From boot camp)
But you'll be able to go home you'll just use your leave days you earned in bc
Zenez, how many bags are you allowed to bring on deployment? And where do you keep the suitcases on the ship? Sorry if that’s a weird question lol
You can bring as much as you want as long as you can find somewhere to put it lol
Do you stay on the boat.??
I do not I’m on shore duty now
Thank you for your service. I appreciate you. Btw - You look like Toni Braxton.. I'm sure you heard it before. Lol 😘🙏🥰❤️💋 #ManyBlessings
Imagine seeing her on a ship like gawwwwwddddd
❤️Thank you
whats the song in your intro
No way by kodie Shane
🔥🔥🔥
Do alot of people steal?
I didn’t experience theft in my berthing On my ship
How many outfits did you bring for port calls? Any advice on what to bring for them and how to get ready on the ship?
Girl I brought like 2 suitcases 😂😂 and you get ready like normal , your berthing is full of other girls too so everyone’s gonna be doing their makeup etc
Are the showers Co-Ed in deployment? Asking for a friend. Literally.
Nah , you have separate showers lol . The only time it’s together is in bootcamp
There are NO Co-Ed showers in the military period.
Just got back and we’re leaving again 😩
Gahhh🤤
Dis bitch is beautiful
Young lady you are fantastic. I hope you find some lucky guy to marry. You are so feminine and beautiful. Best of luck.

Will you be my girlfriend
