"At any given time, thousands of U.S. Navy sailors are plowing the seas all around the world, and sometimes in some very rough neighborhoods in which relative peace and turn into outright hostility in a matter of seconds. We hear quite a bit from the officers aboard everything from supercarriers to nuclear submarines, but not enough from those who actually make the Navy's goals even remotely achievable, the enlisted crew, some of who aren't even old enough to legally consume alcohol. This stark reality is precisely why I really enjoyed this mini-documentary that gives sailors' perspectives of life aboard the Navy's most numerous surface combatant, the Arleigh Burke class destroyer, in this case, USS Paul Hamilton (DDG-60)…" YouTube link link So many young people aboard this ship..where are the oldest?

If you get caught having sex with a shipmate, you go to Captain's Mast (or court-martial, if you request, but that's not going to end well for you). This includes getting treated for an STD outside the usual incubation window from a port call. |
