You ok, great virtue signalling. Why dont you wake up and stop being woke. It costs on average $65000.00 a day to feed this crew. Do you know how many carriers the navy has? That amount of money just for food. I'm no hippy, I understand there is aggression in the world, we needed it and need it to survive, yet this is a fookin travesty joke concerning the amount of resources being spent, to kill each other. To hell with this and anyone supporting it. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much money its insane, and with this continued mentality, well we are as dead as the dinosaur and obviously we just dont know it. You are so naive saying all that money spent is to protect the sheeple lol. It costs $25000.00 for a 1 hour flight time of an F18. These are just to costs Im giving an example of, can you fathom the grosssss amount of money involved here in military expenditure, world wide? So much money spent on killing each other, instead of fixing the worlds problems. FUCKKK THIS...V
No offense, but how are they protecting you??? Let's be honest: all those guys are on an insanely expensive ship because your country can afford it. Everything else is simply propaganda. Nobody is attacking the US, so then don't have to protect you from anybody.
I've never been inside female berthing - thanks for the tour! Nice to see you and your shipmates have a bit of decorative touches, but it still looks neat and military. Good luck!
Interesting lifestyle. My son is married with three children and he serves in the U.S. Air Force. He’s a Technical Sargent. I think it’s a E-8. God bless you. May our Lord grant you peace and Joy as you serve our country. You’re a beautiful young Lady. Godspeed!
Served pre communit on CVN plank owner still in the shipyards when I got on! Was lucky one of only 6 guys in unit got rack number 2 a middle rack. Since the other guys were all married and had their families in apartments. When ship went coed they switched our compartment for ladies only since it was centrally located but that happened after I did 4 years and had the GI BILL! Got to see Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Israel, Masirah, Diego, GITMO, Bahamas, St Thomas, and Singapore. Flew to Philippines, Okinawa, Alaska and Travis AFB to be processed out, They would not let us out of their site! Budweiser at Diego had a couple but others drank too much so just a little bit of trouble! I could never stand the colt 45 and PBR they served. Missed out on Australia due to emergency! Make sure you see the world I took some of the tours too. Have a career or school choice when you get out. I only miss Magens Bay! We always seemed to head south when winter started up! Good Luck!
That's a well done video, good job! I've seen a variety of ship tours, most of which have typical amateur flaws. Your video was simple, good volume, steady camera, up and down decks...just a simple, yet very good video. You make it look so easy, as it should be. Your fortunate to have the top bunk, the bottom bunk looks like it sucks. Take care! -Peace
Memories, I was attached to VA-34 BLUEBLLASTERS out of NAS OCEANA, Virginia Beach back in '77. John F Kennedy CV-67 and we broke in brand new at the time Dwight D Eisenhower CVN-69. Was fun working on the A-6 Intruder now mothballed. I miss it huge.
Congratulations to our fellow navy battle buddies..I thought us Army had it tough...6000 people equipment n aircraft on one ship..Dammm that's one heavy ship
Omg look at all that space. Y'all livn on the big boys got it good. 😂🤣 -- always loved the top rack so I could sit up a read. Sucks when the birthing cleaners come through flipping on all the lights though lol.
From what remember you didn’t have much of a choice. I was deployed on the Coral Sea and when they took me to the berthing and gave me the bottom rack next to the crappers , totally sucked then after two weeks was sent down to the mess decks for 3 mounts. Just some of the stuff they don’t tell you. It did get better as people left and I got more of a choice .
Thank you for this I was wondering how life was. I’m kind of claustrophobic around people so it would Be tough but I’m sure it’s something you get used to
You learn to do it, and everyone is in literally the same boat. That’s where that term comes from. But those bunks are like your private space, they have curtains, you really do get used to it. And that is your space no one can go in it. In a place that doesn’t have a lot of space, is constantly being used, and is occupied by thousands of people, having your own space, even if it’s just a bunk, means a lot
I think I know which female breathing you are at (Near the Yeoman). I use to reside in the Nuclear breathing near the rear. Our berthing was a Pway, so it's nice to see yours is more private. The bottom rack is the best rack! If I was not there, I was too busy getting chased out of other spaces trying to read my book. I hope you do a fine job, best of luck.
I remember we had one guy from North Carolina who wore these nasty white socks while sleeping. I know I walked through berthing area after watch and you could smell them about 15 feet away fortunately we lived way back in the corner. About 2 hours later Man overboard sounded and we headed up to muster! The guy with the smelly socks complained someone had stole his socks off his feet! We then figured out what went overboard!
When I served in the Navy (84-88) if someone stunk so bad and refused to shower or wash their clothes they would get a shower party. Case closed and they never let themselves get that bad again. The chief would see them the next morning at muster and just smile knowingly.
I SPENT MANY A NIGHT ON A CARRIER BUILT IN 1945,THIS IS THE MOST BERTHING I COULD HAVE HOPED FOR. WWII type racks and one chair for fifty men was the norm. New sailors have it much better now. That was fifty years ago.Retired Chief 1980. Freedom is not free.
Top racks in the male supply berthing are more often than not coffin racks, not a flat rack like you have. Retired LS, retired in 2014 from the Stennis, slept in the Supply berthing for 3 years.
I just signed my contract for AD, so I'm expecting to be on a ship. What does social life/off days look like on ship? What does everyone go do aside from chilling in the rack area and gym? I'm not expecting extravagant bouts of fun to be happening lol, I'm super curious though!
Eddy Kaletch. USMC 64 -- 68. I was with the Marine Detachment aboard the USS Saratoga from 66 to 68. Well actually I had to go to Vietnam first ( hey you know, things happen ). From 65 to 66. Well I know what your saying. But I really enjoyed it for the most part. Thanks for serving with us and God Bless my Fellow Veteran.
I congaulate u girl on doing this. Ur thriving so much I can tell. This is beck btw from A school. I think this is so cool that u started this. I always wanted to start a channel I will be open to being on ur channel if u ever need other military personnel on here for ur video.
Shipmate, this is way more room than we got on submarines. I was STS3(SS) on the USS Florida SSBN-728 (since converted to SSGN) and USS Asheville SSN-758 in 1999 to 2003! And, junior enlisted berthing was a series of bunkrooms, each the size of an office cubicle, that each held nine men! Three forward, three aft, three amidships. There was also a little container with about one cubic foot of space for each person. Officers also had staterooms the size of an office cubicle but only had to share it with one or two other officers (depending on how many officers were aboard at the time). There are women now, I never served with women but always supported the idea. Starting in 2008, they first let on officers, then senior enlisted, now any woman can join. 🙂 (I would assume they would reserve however many bunkrooms need to be reserved for women only.) There's actually a female submarine officer who is now an astronaut! LCDR Kayla Borron! She was on the ISS for I think six months or a year! 🙂 She said her time on submarines helped prepare her for space. 🙂 Anyway TYFYS 🙂
I ship 202107xx lol. It’s so far away because i’m still in school so I have to graduate first to be able to go to boot camp. But thank you for your service and i hope to see you in the fleet soon! Edited my exact ship date out because I was informed about Opsec. My bad
Hello Monique, amazing video to see the life onboard, this is Sergio, aerospace engineer with UA-cam channel about all that stuff, few months ago NATO invited me to USS George W Bush and now I am making all the content about it. There is one video I want to crerate about the life onboard and was wondering if I could use some pieces of this video, of course I would put credits to your channel on the screen while showing the pieces. Thanks very much for the content
Was on 3 ships my last one was the Constellation CV-64. On board 99 till her decommission. Ops had a fairly large berthing. But it was directly under the stbd side cat. Loud as hell. Surprised that berthing had so many racks like yours. Depending on which carrier it is, it may be because that was an overflow breathing at one time, and it was turned into a female birthing since theres no head on that level for it. USN OSC SW Ret
I'm in the Royal navy and the living quarters seem more fair on US ships, if you're in RN as a female you get a 6 person mess to live in, where if you're a guy you get put into a 30 person mess
USS BLUE RIDGE (LCC 19) FLAGSHIP sailor from 95-99...aw, what found memories this video brought back, rack 34b was mine the whole time on board...#gonavy #UKRAINE 🙏🙌
Thank you for your Service. At least you are part of the most effective Protection-System the world possesses. And I think you got the best food 🍱. Stay healthy 🙏
I took my friend aboard a World War II aircraft carrier she was asking me why there was No Doors in the Stalls I explained to her about the US Navy and ships back in the 1930s and 40s
I always wished I'd had the opportunity to serve on an aircraft carrier. I was a Coast Guard Aviation Electrician... 50 yrs ago. Long before lady's had the opportunities you have.
Can you hang thing’s from the ceiling above your rack? You could put cloth drawers up there for lots of items. Even uniforms and such just to hang from like a wire or rope?
I can’t see the point of joining any branch of the military to work in a restaurant. Sorry. I was army Ranger in the early 80’s. I was a lowly infantryman. I loved EVERY minute of it! What other job could you get to shoot and blow crap up? Not a lot of machine gun shops out there. 😂
Although France's lone carrier and the UK's 2 new carriers are smaller than American carriers, they have nicer, more spacious berthings. I think that on the Queen Elizabeth, the racks are in dorm-style rooms with a small degree of privacy.
@@moniquejohnson8644 I was stationed on Carl Vinson from 84 to 88 i had a middle rack. I made Chief while I was stationed there. What a difference in the berthing and the messes. I retired in 02, what memories this brings back. Thank you so much. After the Vinson i served on an FF, an AE, a LHD, a DDG and a DD. Personally I liked the small ships better because the crews were tighter. I remember the chow lines on the carrier being pretty long underway with the airwing embarked. You might want to do a video about chow and "entertainment" underway. When I was stationed on Vinson we had 3 full sized gyms and a sauna
@@moniquejohnson8644 Next time can you show us how aircraft carrier prepare meal and food storage, and basic communication system to talk to your loved ones while onboard in on aircraft carrier
When it comes to internet you don’t have it on your phone while you’re out at sea unfortunately. But, you’ll have internet to get onto the computer’s though.
No coffin lockers anymore? Damn though... Lots and lots of gear adrift and deck tile dirty. Compared to the CARL VINSON and the ENTERPRISE back in the late 80s, this is unsat.
Thank you for serving, shipmate! Joining the Navy was the best thing I ever did, well, next to marrying my wife and becoming a Christian, but I met my wife and rededicated my life to Christ in the Navy. You'll never regret this, I hope, though I know everyone's experience is different. Where I was, we were in hazardous duty stations in the 80s and my rate, OTA, was the only place women could serve where they might have to fight. I was in the Ground Defense Force in Iceland (Naval Infantry) and my squad was all females in a fighting hole and we always won. 😂 they were kick ass! I know it's been a year but I hope your career is going good.
Even in peacetime, military people accept a lot of disconfort and sacrifices while we live in our comfy homes and soft beds and private showers and private baths. For those of you who think that's easy living try living with all those people, no privacy, cramped, tight beds, no storage space, long work hours, minimal personal time, no visit with loved ones and families, no going out with friends and blowing off some steam. They're stuck on a ship for 6 months as a time. Can't go camping or hiking or to a bar or eat in a nice restaurant. Life is a sacrifice and the military people accept it so you don't have to.
@@moniquejohnson8644 I joined the AF so that was my question. im thinking about switching cuz MAN I REALLY DO hate the desert and on how they sent me to the dam desert. like everyone around me is getting orders to go someplace else even for the people that have been in less then me are getting orders and im just stuck in the dam desert.
I was in during the transition from the old working uniform to the blue cammies. I hated that shitty blue shirt and the cheap pants. The cammies were so cozy and felt tougher at the same time. No more having to tuck in a shirt and constantly trying to fix it. No more ironing creases into the back and sleeves. You could sleep in it, get up, and still look presentable
@@moniquejohnson8644 Thanks! Any advice on how to deal with being deployed/stuck on a boat for months? Honestly, that's why I am hesitant about joining the navy.
Honestly February 11th that just passed was my 1 year mark in the Navy. I haven’t been out to sea yet. But we are heading out soon in the nexts couple of months. The best advice I can give is find a routine that works best for you. Like working out, or find you a group of friends. However, they do be having basketball games going on while out at sea so you can definitely attend those. I’ll make a video on that topic for you.
Lots. I was stationed on USS Carl Vinson for 4.5 years and for 3 I helped with Zone Inspections and I didn't see all of it. It is so long that on the level below the flight deck you can be at the stern and look down the passageway and not see the front
The island has 7 levels, there are up to10 levels below the flight deck. Deck 7 is the lowest level you can actually stand up in but there are small holds below that. Deck 1 is the hangar deck with 3 levels above that, 01 02 and 03. The 03 level is the largest level covering the entire underside of the flight deck.
All service personnel need to be commended for sacrificing themselves to protect us while we continue to live in our comfortable homes.
I totally agree with you! 💯❤️
@@moniquejohnson8644 Thin mattresses just like a jail.
That's luxury compared to how we had to live in the Army.

It can't be bad living on a carrier. One of my uncle's done it for 24 years.
Can you have your own blanket? And maybe a hugging pillow and you get to choose your bunk?
Yes you can and sometimes they’ll let you pick your own punk but usually they’ll just issue them out to people.
No stalls in the old days, just a row of toilets.
I took my friend aboard a World War II aircraft carrier she was asking me why there was No Doors in the Stalls I explained to her about the US Navy and ships back in the 1930s and 40s

I retired in 02, what memories this brings back. Thank you so much. After the Vinson i served on an FF, an AE, a LHD, a DDG and a DD. Personally I liked the small ships better because the crews were tighter. I remember the chow lines on the carrier being pretty long underway with the airwing embarked. You might want to do a video about chow and "entertainment" underway. When I was stationed on Vinson we had 3 full sized gyms and a sauna
@MoniqueJohnson What ship is this?
Better title, “Hell on earth.”
Thank you for showing us what's life living on aircraft carrier 🇵🇭
No problem! If y’all have anymore ideas let me know 🙏🏾
@@moniquejohnson8644 Next time can you show us how aircraft carrier prepare meal and food storage, and basic communication system to talk to your loved ones while onboard in on aircraft carrier
Most definitely!
@@moniquejohnson8644 Did you find the bowling alley?
A lot of us old timers may agree with this. And please, no offence to you who took the watch. That's a 5 star hotel compared to our berthing's.
I’m so here for these videos Mo 🤞🏾
Thank you! ❤️🙏🏾
@@moniquejohnson8644 are you on the 77
@@theblackknight9783 yes I am
@@moniquejohnson8644 The Navy is small. It was nice, saying hello. That mess decks is no joke. More power to the CSs.
Thank you! Lol I’ll need it for sure lol
Thank you for your service.............
Anytime! 🙏🏾
Navy’s version of the back rooms
I thought living outside in the Army was bad, but this here is a whole new level of hell nawl!!
So how much sleep do you get in a night underway?
I have a dumb question. When you are out at sea, is there internet?
When it comes to internet you don’t have it on your phone while you’re out at sea unfortunately. But, you’ll have internet to get onto the computer’s though.
No coffin lockers anymore? Damn though... Lots and lots of gear adrift and deck tile dirty. Compared to the CARL VINSON and the ENTERPRISE back in the late 80s, this is unsat.
I never made it to my ship 😞 looks like camping fun
Fk no
like ya know and alright so. Amazing vocabulary
Thank you for serving, shipmate! Joining the Navy was the best thing I ever did, well, next to marrying my wife and becoming a Christian, but I met my wife and rededicated my life to Christ in the Navy. You'll never regret this, I hope, though I know everyone's experience is different.
Where I was, we were in hazardous duty stations in the 80s and my rate, OTA, was the only place women could serve where they might have to fight. I was in the Ground Defense Force in Iceland (Naval Infantry) and my squad was all females in a fighting hole and we always won. 😂 they were kick ass!
I know it's been a year but I hope your career is going good.
My career is going great sir. I’m a CS2 on a career. Thank you so much for sharing your story and as always thank you for your service 🫡❤️
Even in peacetime, military people accept a lot of disconfort and sacrifices while we live in our comfy homes and soft beds and private showers and private baths. For those of you who think that's easy living try living with all those people, no privacy, cramped, tight beds, no storage space, long work hours, minimal personal time, no visit with loved ones and families, no going out with friends and blowing off some steam. They're stuck on a ship for 6 months as a time. Can't go camping or hiking or to a bar or eat in a nice restaurant. Life is a sacrifice and the military people accept it so you don't have to.
Thank you for the Great video
Anytime! Thank you for the support! ❤️
Family photos and the emergency air mask in the bed area u missed thanks 😊

Question... Are you able to choose your rack? me Personally I want the top rack
At first I didn’t get to pick but I asked if I could switch with someone.
@@moniquejohnson8644 I joined the AF so that was my question. im thinking about switching cuz MAN I REALLY DO hate the desert and on how they sent me to the dam desert. like everyone around me is getting orders to go someplace else even for the people that have been in less then me are getting orders and im just stuck in the dam desert.
And i thought it was horrible living in an open warehouse with double bunks durning Army deployment to middle east.
I prefer the Navy uniforms of the 1980s and 1990s all they had was Navy dungarees dress blues dress whites
I was in during the transition from the old working uniform to the blue cammies. I hated that shitty blue shirt and the cheap pants. The cammies were so cozy and felt tougher at the same time. No more having to tuck in a shirt and constantly trying to fix it. No more ironing creases into the back and sleeves. You could sleep in it, get up, and still look presentable
@@Kraken9911Yes! Screw the dungarees and the utilities. The cammies look so much more respectable and you can wear them off base.
Damn, I’m too claustrophobic to be in the Navy!
Imagine trynna overcome claustrophobia through navy, then they assigned you to a submarine
I love it!
Hi. i Am from Bangladesh. watch your life on board. Really amazing. wanna know about u more. thanks
Not stairs... it's a ladder.
You have internet there?
I am thinking about joining the navy. Do you all stay on the ship all year, or do you have rooms on base?
While we’re in port you can either get barracks, ppv, apartment, or make friends that have a place and go over there.
@@moniquejohnson8644 Thanks! Any advice on how to deal with being deployed/stuck on a boat for months? Honestly, that's why I am hesitant about joining the navy.
Honestly February 11th that just passed was my 1 year mark in the Navy. I haven’t been out to sea yet. But we are heading out soon in the nexts couple of months. The best advice I can give is find a routine that works best for you. Like working out, or find you a group of friends. However, they do be having basketball games going on while out at sea so you can definitely attend those. I’ll make a video on that topic for you.
@@moniquejohnson8644 Thank you! 🙂

Great vid! How many floors does the carrier have??
Lots. I was stationed on USS Carl Vinson for 4.5 years and for 3 I helped with Zone Inspections and I didn't see all of it. It is so long that on the level below the flight deck you can be at the stern and look down the passageway and not see the front
7 floors up and 7 floors down
The island has 7 levels, there are up to10 levels below the flight deck. Deck 7 is the lowest level you can actually stand up in but there are small holds below that. Deck 1 is the hangar deck with 3 levels above that, 01 02 and 03. The 03 level is the largest level covering the entire underside of the flight deck.
