US Navy First 72 Hours - Year 2000
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- One of the early videos showing what an impact the first 72 hours can have on a Sailor and his/her career. There is a newer version from 2008, this version was uploaded for historical purposes. Much of the material is still applicable and may provide a different way to demonstrate similar themes in the new version.
A few weeks ago, there were two ladies new to the ship. They asked me where their berthing was located. Being honest, I said I didn’t know. I didn’t feel right walking away after that. I like to help others as much as I can. So thankfully I saw a Chief and Senior Chief to see if they could help. It worked out. I’ve heard a lot of people having terrible sponsors when arriving. I think that is wrong and selfish. My assigned sponsor didn’t help at all! Thankfully someone from my department who was a Chief helped me a lot! Helped me on the ship and showing me around town. Very grateful for that.
The acting in this older version of The First 72 Hours is far better than the most recent version. This video seemed more realististic.
I agree 100%. It fills out details missing in the newer version and the narration is so much better and yes the acting is way better.
I remember going back to Great Lakes for A school. I was too ignorant to plan a ride from the airport to the base. It was Christmas break so there was nobody left who knew or even cared. The OOD was the only person who was help me out.
What rate?
@@hamhami9742 I went back for EN. For the OOD he was a MM2. Nothing but Firemen and Engineering Rates are offered at Great Lakes.
@@wolfenstien13 nice
Sound like a ASVAB waiver - HOO YAH!
I fortunately had a good experience on my first ship. A screemen seaman. The deck crew was top notch and they put me with the smart go-getters and steered me clear of the shitbirds. 6 months I was working the sickbay, I made HM3 by the end my my first enlistment. There is an old saying first impressions are lasting impressions. Mine were good both ways and led to a wonderful career.
piss poor leadership. this happens alot in the navy. young sailor trying to do the right thing. but gets screwed by "leaders"
It hurts a lot 🤧
This MESSAGE SUMS IT UP!
That's an UNDERSTATEMENT!
well yeah i mean it all boils down to XO and below even CMC could kill a good sailor's career.... i got screwed over out of NEC schools so many times, and i had this shipmate kept telling me to go for BUDs boy oh boy i shouldn't have refused him could been his swim buddy.
I saw this exact same video once, word for word, with different actors. They made the same video at least twice.
I saw that as well. It was filmed more recently as well.
I am spinning the throttle valve at 12:40. Was in leadership course once and told them I was in the video and nobody believed me until they paused it...we were probably way worse than the guy in the video but I retired at 20 years.
You failed seaman Tyler because you were too busy spinning the valve! 😭😭😭😭
@@chicago618 hahah
Legend! How did you manage to do 20 years?
this brings back some memories. I watched this at my recruiters office and at boot camp before I went to yokosuka Japan
I was there on the Kitty Hawk.
Currently stationed here in Yokosuka
@@yequalsemexplusbee4322 2 questions, is Popeyes in the Honch (dive bar) still open and is the Chuhi stand near Station station still open.
@@yequalsemexplusbee4322nice
I served in the Marine Corps from 1979 until 1981. I was honorably discharged for medical reasons. It's too bad that the military, as a whole, just figured out how a new command and a young service member's arrival to it can impact that young person and the kind of experience he/she will have while serving. Back when I served, no one ever "sponsored" a new unit member, especially one who was relatively new to the service. Similarly, there was no such thing as "TAP" (Transition Assistance Program) briefings/classes when one exited the service. A person was left to rely on what they'd been taught in boot camp and then left to just "figure it out", usually with only the help of the "sea lawyers" (members who were usually in trouble, themselves, and all too willing to help a new member to follow in their footsteps) and the "trial by fire" method with getting in trouble. Learn by error, as they say. Yes, it is a "new" military, compared to the one I joined in 1979. I wish I could have had the benefit of this kind of care. Leadership is everything and does wonders for good morale. Semper Fi.
I watched this on my first ship, ironically, the USS Higgins
I’ve seen a sailor get screwed in 8 hours.
Ive seen one get screwed in 2 hours. Straight from bootcamp. To the gulf. Puddle jumping to the Tarawa off the coast of Iraq. Checked in amd 2 hours later. ....in a vestibule.
The red headed guy in the pway was my roommate in gunners mate A school @5:22. Redding!
How was it being a gunners mate
Oh lord I remember seeing this in 2001 lol Dudes whole command set him up for failure.
I boarded my first Ship 🚢 The USS New Orleans LPH 11 in the Yards Halloween 🎃 night at 8:30 🕣 and it was a Saturday night also !!! What a nightmare that night was !!!
I was stationed on board USS Decatur DDG-73 based in San Diego at the time.
This was one of the training videos in boot camp. Crazy I remember watching this and now that I know what I do this type of negative scenario was not uncommon. Fortunately every command I pcs'd to was the positive part of the video.
Me as well (73-77)
LIe. I arrived on board after boot. on 28 Dec.... yes, New Years weekend. .... was welcomed and shown everything I needed.
These two films are touching. The uncertainty concerning the dialogue of the newby.Never again return home without one single plan.They consider Los Angeles an airport (LAX). I must get into a niche and pull up.
They didn't give one single fuck about helping that kid. Shit like that happens all the time
It sounds weird that it’s up to ship officers to make sure new sailors’ families are resettled - even in 2000 this should be something the Navy could do centralized? Dear lord I hope this isn’t still an issue
Yep that's the way it was for me. Horrible leadership! I had to learn everything on my own! It was soo frustrating! Hardly anyone got special treatment like in the second part of the video.
What kinda of stuff is a sailor expedited to learn?
So just a bunch of people not doing their jobs and what they're told to do? Wow
Exactly, Being in the Navy and following BASIC rules are common sense. These are grown adults by the way, not 10- 15 year old people.
You have no idea how common this is.
It happens, but never as bad as this anymore
I remember watching an older version, before Higgins was even commissioned. Anyone know where we can find it?
I was to report to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 7 Gulfport MS, early 2011 I could not reach anyone, I was legit lost, I had to drag my seabag and all belongings through the hot sun. I finally get to the quarterdeck cover in sweat and get yelled at by a LPO (CE1) why iam reporting Friday afternoon when nobody is there, and why I did not take a shower. That should of been a warning sign about the nonsense that was coming my way. From then on I just kept to myself and did my enlistment and got out. I can't believe the Navy never figure this issue out.
Hand Shakers ave Good People
Only the government could do this, have a 40% failure rate. Any company that did this (outside of fast food) would be finished.
Wow they were laxed back than. I am surprised he didn't stroll aboard with a blunt in hand. A officer without an E-Markmenship LOL
peacetime navy man
80s-early 2000s were the Golden Era of the Navy. Warfare designations and ribbons weren't handed out, nor were they a pre-requisite for advancement.
Its funny he was able to meet him at the gate. I had to remind myself what year this was fro
I Iove the Higgins my dad was a NC on her
Ah, the good old Higgins.
This video illustrated WAY MORE care than I got on checking in to my first command. FAR less than I ever gave to one of my new sailors. This dude was just a dirt bag waiting to happen.
I watched this video in the first year of first dissemination.
I just watched the most recent version of this! Same script.
Which makes no sense that they keeps asking his name, since its on his uniform in the updated one d
This original version is far superior
I saw this video during my petty officer indoc class
My first command was like this second one was a little better
thats why you always need sponsors
Ha! The good ole days going down to TJ, getting trashed, then showing up for work..I remember when I could go day after day working, going out till 0500, shower and chow, and working again. TJ piers!
What went wrong?? Lol he went to the fleet! That's the main problem lol
Oh boy, Tijuana! Trolley ride back to base sucked!
Every navy in the world is the same
I wonder what happened to these people
Last I heard seaman Tyler joined the Taliban. They had a better welcome program.
They probably treated them better🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s been 20 years crazy to think that everyone featured here is no longer in the navy
@@Me-eb3wv actually 24😳
🤣🤣😂😂🤣 holy shit flashbacks
To my Asian brothers. I'm hoping this doesn't come to terms. I have high regard for the anchient history you contain. Though we can't have everything, I had to get this out in the open..now. though paralleled to war machine,an honest Outlook in civilian life. is what's this is about. When you get it know I'm sincere.
They treat people like shit for no reason like df
