10 Things You Didn't Know About Life in the Navy

Anyone who’s ever been in the Navy knows that life aboard a military ship or submarine has its own unique challenges and trials, but most people don’t really understand what it’s like to be in the Navy until they actually spend some time there themselves. If you’re considering joining the military, whether as an officer or enlisted person, here are 10 things you didn’t know about life in the Navy.

1) Navy food.

The food is always available. It is made twenty four hours a day and there are food stations on every floor. The food was of high quality with lots of options. Everybody ate together, and everybody was doing some kind of exercise at all times, so you had to be ready to eat. Even if it was dinner time, you might need to be running five miles first. So you would have a snack before dinner so that you didn’t feel like you were going hungry while exercising.

2) Navy protocol.

When joining the Navy you have to know the protocol. Protocol is a set of rules and guidelines to ensure discipline. Protocol consists of customs, courtesies, traditions, and rules designed to guide and regulate the behavior of military personnel. Don’t forget that entering the Navy means you are serving your country with pride and commitment. Even though serving comes with all these obligations you still have rights just like any other person so don’t let anyone take them away from you! Here are 10 things you didn’t know about life in the Navy - Naming Convention (Every thing has a purpose): Everything that is bought by or named after something or someone receives an honor title such as ship names, bases names etc... One example of naming conventions would be USS Gerald R Ford; USS stands for United States Ship and USS would indicate it was owned by US government. Gerald stands for President Gerald Ford who was president when it was purchased, called The greatest Navy Hero (by Harry S Truman). On deck signal: Each naval vessel uses many signals like semaphore, signal flags or signal lamps to send information at sea or on rivers.

3) Leave time.

Navy leave was like going on vacation but with more time spent with the family. I always liked my days on leave because of the extra bonding time and freedom it gave me, such as being able to sleep in and make leisurely breakfasts for everyone in the morning. When it was especially nice out, we’d even go on little day trips together to other cities within a day or two of driving distance from my base. We would eat out at restaurants or play miniature golf.

4) What you can bring on board.

There are restrictions on what you can bring with you, such as alcohol and food. The following is a list of items that the Navy allows you to bring on board an aircraft carrier. Just be sure it all fits inside your sea bag! Soldiers/sailors did not have access to social media <This part should talk about - Soldiers/sailors didn’t have access to any type of social media. It was not allowed because they believed if someone is coming onto base then we shouldn’t trust them:

Types and categorizations of injuries caused by explosions:

Explosions are messy business, literally. Explosions cause both primary or initial wounds (like burns) along with secondary or follow-on wounds (like penetrating or perforating). While primary wounding only happens once during detonation event, secondary wounding can happen multiple times as fragments ricochet and shatter through victims bodies.

5) Not having personal space.

When you join the Navy, you are told that military life is a buddy system. In other words, you don’t have any privacy in the Navy because everything is built around the team. Your living space is no exception; in fact, your living space is less about personal space and more about function. If someone needs your bunk to sleep on (or whatever), they take it from you.

6) Living by yourself

When you’re living in the Navy, you have to live on your own. It’s a challenge that doesn’t come without some feeling of loneliness. However, there are ways to avoid feeling alone and becoming depressed in the Navy

7) Showers are rarely taken alone.

This is a Navy rule; you are not allowed to shower alone. At least one other person must be in the shower room with you at all times. This is a safety precaution in case the water becomes too hot and someone needs help getting out. It’s also considered good camaraderie and makes it harder for the wrong people to wander on in. Debriefing is like talking to your high school guidance counselor: After every patrol, SEALs get together and talk about their experiences, both good and bad. If you want some support as you go through life—whether that means through training or your first deployment—you should probably consider joining an organization, even if just for a short time. That way, when things start going haywire, you can have someone there to listen who might actually understand what you're going through.

8) A normal day for civilians is never a normal day in the Navy

If you’re a Navy man or woman, there are certain expectations to live up to; a lot of what goes on is considered normal behavior. For example, if you aren’t living by the clock, things can get awkward in your civilian friendships. If you have time to spare at lunch because your department isn’t too busy, grab lunch with friends! If a co-worker is taking an hour for lunch instead of 30 minutes, don’t ask questions and just order pizza for the team instead. In the Navy, we had to be strict about our eating habits; otherwise someone will get sick from spoiled food or chow hall meals.

9) You do not have your own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom or anything but clothes.

Even though you have your own clothes, living in them is a bit of a hassle. Unlike most military jobs, shipboard housing is crowded and you do not have your own kitchen or bathroom. In fact, when I joined, every sailor had his or her own drawer to store items like soap and shampoo. Although on large ships each sailor has his or her own stateroom (bedroom), it comes with bunk beds that usually hold four sailors—two on top, two on bottom. For four months at sea, those beds are so uncomfortable that I developed tennis elbow from sleeping there! It was bad enough sleeping while rocking back and forth but adding motion sickness made sleep impossible!

10) And when you leave... it's hard to come back.

The first thing that you'll notice is that when you leave, it's really hard to come back. The everyday grind becomes a distant memory and all of your friends are living their lives without you. Of course you can go back, but it's a lot harder to get things done. Not only will everyone be busy trying to do their job, but they also won't want to spend time with you and catch up. Everything moves so fast in the military: For example, if you go on deployment or TDY (Temporary Duty Assignment), most people will move on while you're gone. If they work directly for you and know how to manage themselves, everything should run smoothly while you're away; otherwise some things may fall through cracks until your return. The nature of being constantly busy also means that a business move goes by incredibly quickly. https://t.me/realjaynamy
