See what it's like to be an officer living in a stateroom on a US Navy Cruiser!

I was on a carrier as enlisted. I saw some Ensigns bitching about 4 had to share a stateroom! Their mattress was twice as thick as ours & had more storage than you have. I told them "Step around the corner & I'll show you what it's like sharing a room with 72 other guys!"

On a Ticonderoga "O country" is a great shortcut to other parts of the Ship, the trick for enlisted is to walk through with a clipboard and stop at few fire extinguishers and check their safety tags so people think you're there on official business.

I was First LT on a 542 class LST back in 1959-61. My "stateroom" was positively enormous compared to these spaces. I had two bunks, desk, dresser, closet, storage, porthole, and shared with most junior incoming officer from time to time. He always got the upper, which was a lot of fun for a newby during heavy weather. Officer's country has really changed, I guess, with more modern ships.

on a junior ship such as an LST, we had maybe 4 E6''s and maybe two Chiefs. As 1st LT, I depended heavily(!) on my senior Boatwain's mate and Gunner"s Mate. As an ensign with zero experience when I came aboard my job was to "keep your mouth shut and learn" Then, one day, several months later I had the wheel for the next 18 months--with an XO who didn't care for college kids amongst other cultural traits. My favorite experience was during GQ. My station was the forward 40mm gun tub. Our one HM knew I had a sense of humor. He stood by underneath he gun tub with a surgical dressing for my behind because he know the XO would show up soon and take a hunk. We all used to laugh about it. We kidded about it 40 years later at a ship's reunion. And those guys still called me "Mister". Great shipmates.

omg sir, that's three or four times the size of officer staterooms on submarines! 😲 I was enlisted, STS3(SS), [SS = "submarine specialist" aka "Qualified in Submarines"] and on a Trident (Ohio class), which is the bigger type of submarine we have, this was 1999 to 2003 ....but the officer staterooms are about the size of an office cubicle and hold up to three officers, usually two (it depends on how many officers are aboard). There is enough room to for each to stand up, and then there are two fold out desks. Enlisted rooms are also the size of office cubicles, but hold nine enlisted members. Three amidships, three forward, three aft. There is a separate area for E-7 and above, "The Goat Locker", it's about the same as E-7 and below, but fewer people. The Chief of the Boat, which on a surface ship is called "Command Master Chief" has his (or her....there's a female COB on at least one submarine that I know of) own office on a Trident, but his sleeping area is with the other E-7+. 🙂 This is probably true of cruisers as well: the Captain is the only one who gets a stateroom all to himself. 🙂

The Captain on the Midway had a inport cabin that would look like a 5 star hotel room.
Its good to be Captain
6 Officers living in a single room?!?!? Not what I had expected tbh. Nice Vid btw
Lol. Gotta keep the nuggets together so you don't lose your gold.
Junior officers.
Wait till you hear about JO jungle
This surprised me too
my ship it had a space like this and called it the “JO jungle”
This video makes me glad that I went into private industry instead. However, I am grateful to you all for protecting our country. Thank you all for your service to those of you that have served.
I was First LT on a 542 class LST back in 1959-61. My "stateroom" was positively enormous compared to these spaces. I had two bunks, desk, dresser, closet, storage, porthole, and shared with most junior incoming officer from time to time. He always got the upper, which was a lot of fun for a newby during heavy weather. Officer's country has really changed, I guess, with more modern ships.
Green side navy still has surge capacity and berthing spaces around the upper level below the bridge specifically on LSD’S that are extremely spacious, but I don’t know about other classes of ships.
The smaller the ship, the small everything is. And with the education/knowledge gap getting smaller and smaller between enlisted and officers, sometimes I wonder if a JO deserves more comfortable living or a first class or chief who has been in the navy for decades
@@jujuandphil2020 I was an E6 and believe me when I say we appreciate it when we worked with JOs who throw respect back to those who were their subordinates. We would likely bend over backwards to help you guys become outstanding senior officers as you progress in your careers!
@@jujuandphil2020 Not really.
on a junior ship such as an LST, we had maybe 4 E6''s and maybe two Chiefs. As 1st LT, I depended heavily(!) on my senior Boatwain's mate and Gunner"s Mate. As an ensign with zero experience when I came aboard my job was to "keep your mouth shut and learn" Then, one day, several months later I had the wheel for the next 18 months--with an XO who didn't care for college kids amongst other cultural traits. My favorite experience was during GQ. My station was the forward 40mm gun tub. Our one HM knew I had a sense of humor. He stood by underneath he gun tub with a surgical dressing for my behind because he know the XO would show up soon and take a hunk. We all used to laugh about it. We kidded about it 40 years later at a ship's reunion. And those guys still called me "Mister". Great shipmates.
Thank you for thr video and thank you for your service!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tour. I was enlisted in 1964 on the Richmond K Turner DLG-20, 21 people in the compartment, coffin lockers. Not that bad. New construction.
great videos! success in the service!
Howdy Juju and Phil!! Love y’all’s videos! Could you please do one on what SWO’s do on a deployment? Maybe a day in the life video? Thanks so much! God bless! :)
Yes, Please
I did MESS DUTY in the WARDROOM and had to collect the laundry and garbage in OFFICERS COUNTRY on the USS LUCE DDG 38 back in the late 70s and you guys have got it worse !! There used to be 2 to a room on my Ship . Y It looks like the NAVY took a page out of LOWER DECKS and put Jr. Officers in a BERTHING COMPARTMENT !! And its a SCUTTLEBUTT and DOWN LADDER not sink and down stairs .
Haha yeah. I think the difference between officers and enlisted is getting smaller and smaller. I have enlisted with college degrees. And honestly, a good second class petty officer is so much more valuable than an unqualified junior officer!
@@jujuandphil2020 My Captain called me by First name when I was a 3rd class BMOW on the Bridge when he wanted to talk to me semi officially. It was usually a question about the News or scores or to just point out how beautiful the Sea can be when you know what you're doing.
Thanks for sharing…brings back memories living in JO berthing on an old Adams Class, DDG 21 in Yokosuka.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Funny, we called it a head when I was in the Navy, not a bathroom.
Maybe a little bit too "PC"? He kept saying people and not men. When I was on the boat it was a 4 "man room" 6 "man room" 60 "man berthing" nothing and I repeat nothing was tagged officially or unofficially with "people". Female Officers lived in a 4 "man stateroom" Female Enlisted lived in 30 "man berthing"
Looks awesome! Congratulations on making Officer Stauts young man! Enjoy your brilliant career in the United States Navy. 'Merica🇺🇸❤🦅
Much appreciated!
"brilliant career" to look forward too? For all we know, his ship could end up being USS Liberty 2: Electric Bugaloo
I was a top-racker when I was onboard the USS O'BANNON {DD-987} that is currently and permanently sitting on the bottom of the Atlantic about 400 miles ENE of Myrtle Beach, SC.
Nice! This ship is currently getting decommissioned as we speak!
When my dad joined the navy in 1939 he slept in a hammock on the mess deck.
some submarines still do hot rack!
I was in a two-man stateroom in Warrant Officer country while serving on the USS Chicago CG-11 as a new CWO2. The best ship I ever served on. CWO4 USN Ret.
I just saw an Hsl51 patch. I served in that squadron in the late 90s
I was enlisted in the Navy. I never went on a ship and the most I ever had in a room was 4. One base I was at there was 2 to a room and a bathroom shared with the room next door. Every room had its own sink. When not deployed I just lived off base.
1980-1984, Ensign to Ltjg, I was an engineering division aboard an old LSD (Dock Landing Ship), amphib hauling Marine and their equipment all over the Pacific Ocean. My state room was huge compared to the DDs, DDG and CGs.
Semper Fi Mate. I enjoyed my times aboard as a LVTP-7 crewman. The navy was very good to us! Good chow, and berthing. Navy are badass! 1979-84! Camp DelMar.
I was use to 2-3 JO's per stateroom. More Tech must mean less O'Country Space. Dept Heads get two bunks per stateroom with may the senior DH's one per stateroom. When the Helo Flight crew embarks.....Ah Man, maybe the Ensigns sleep on sleeping bags on foam pads on the decks.
my dad was a master chief and the best thing about the goat locked, Officers could not just walk in.
Awesome video!
Nice video LT JG! When I was an IC-2 in the navy sometimes I had to go into officers country to repair a sound powered phone. This was years ago. As far as racks go, I found mine to be very comfortable with an air conditioning vent and a reading light. I wonder if sound powered telephones are still used on navy ships?
In the spaces it’s more of a landline, or a old phone where you spin them to the right number and rinse and repeat, on the weather decks, exterior and bridge to name a few there are still sound powered phones.
I found them to be very reliable and seldom had to service them. A typical repair would be replacing the handset cords. They are very simple in design .@@Faith_Through_Struggle
Yes we absolutely still are! In the nuclear navy and the conventional navy. I was in charge of IC and ET on my previous ship (my title was ICE-T) . Very found if ICman, great hard working people
@@jujuandphil2020That is great. By my experience, the sound powered telephone systems were just about indestructible. I loved being an IC man. I was petty officer second class. I worked with the EM's and the ET's. I had heard that the IC rating was no more. I have never heard of ICE-T rating. It must be something new. I regret that when my commitment was up and was ready to be discharged, I should have "Reupped" and stayed in the navy.
The Warlord Det sticker cracks me up. Lol!
On my carrier, Junior Officers sleeping quarters was referred to as "boys town".
Haha we call it the JO Jungle
Only ship-berthing I ever experienced was as enlisted on a nasty ol' non-nuc carrier. This was a really cool video! As a side-note: I would bet that the "handy-sink" in officer country also served as a pretty convenient um.... urinal at night time too perhaps? 😁 😂
I was on a Tico from '87-'91. Funny, how I can tell where you are from the bit of the passageway you show at :23. Starboard side, right? And the door opposite leads down to the main deck. You go forward from there and its where the enlisted mess is.
haha, you are basically mapping the ship!
Wow if that's the officers billets , I don't even want to see how the enlisted guys live . No wonder recruiting numbers are down ; they must have seen this video .i guess it's true : the worst shore duty beats the best sea duty . True patriots to put up with these living conditions . All I can say is God bless the US Air Force . 20 years active duty and Air Guard and I'd recommend it to any young person who asked .
Haha, I agree that AF definitely has the best quality of life!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!
Comfort is relative I guess 😂. I’m a Navy JO (prior enlisted Air Force who was with Army most my career) . I’ll take a cot & tent in the desert or FOB over a ship any day . But it is what it is . It has been a hard transition getting use to Maritime world
So true! Everything is relative!
😅 I had 12 years of sea duty..retired Chief.
No disrespect meant, but these quarters seem to be just one step above a prison setting. I know it's designed to be totally functional, and this isn't a Las Vegas hotel suite ... but my claustrophobia would be kicking in so hard there, haha. But I am grateful that people receive a calling to join the military life. It's important.
Enlisted below him is much more cramped
@@ecclairmayo4153 Makes me shudder, lol
Yeah….. it’s not easy living….
In 1961 I had a rack and a 24x38 inch locker That was it, Cpo mess was better but a empty rack was the rule. Work was on the deck and get to it. So when the going gets tough I can sleep anytime anyware
Did he just call the head a bathroom?! Actually you have an enlisted warfare pin on your uniform, prior enlisted?
I was not a prior some other officers were tho!
omg sir, that's three or four times the size of officer staterooms on submarines! 😲 I was enlisted, STS3(SS), [SS = "submarine specialist" aka "Qualified in Submarines"] and on a Trident (Ohio class), which is the bigger type of submarine we have, this was 1999 to 2003 ....but the officer staterooms are about the size of an office cubicle and hold up to three officers, usually two (it depends on how many officers are aboard). There is enough room to for each to stand up, and then there are two fold out desks. Enlisted rooms are also the size of office cubicles, but hold nine enlisted members. Three amidships, three forward, three aft. There is a separate area for E-7 and above, "The Goat Locker", it's about the same as E-7 and below, but fewer people. The Chief of the Boat, which on a surface ship is called "Command Master Chief" has his (or her....there's a female COB on at least one submarine that I know of) own office on a Trident, but his sleeping area is with the other E-7+. 🙂 This is probably true of cruisers as well: the Captain is the only one who gets a stateroom all to himself. 🙂
I left the military after 12 years…could not stomach anymore the class distinction. My Chief Master Sargeant had more brains..more class, more everything…than the people he had to salute! Didnt get it after a while and saw no future as an enlisted man..E6 when I got out with no slots available to advance..I do miss it though..the comradary!!
Is there more living space on a carrier? I served on a DE out of pearl and it was pretty tight anywhere you went!!!
thank you for your service. Other than the CAPTAIN of the ship, what rank do you have to be to have private quarters?
Room=compartment. Downstairs=below. Water fountain = scuttlebutt.
I was an E-3 in 1st Division aboard ship....we were only allowed in officers country to clean the officers staterooms and passageways.
All I'm gonna say is that if our stateroom ever looked like that, we'd have been in hack for 3 months!! ROFL. CG-58 here.
The JO bunkroom. How senior do you have to be now to get into a two-person stateroom?
I was a damage controlman on the Lincoln, I don't really remember officers doing anyting except drinking Red bull lol
lol pretty much 😂
Heh. LoL. Not very observant, were ya? 🤣
Good god that stateroom is a shitpit with all the gear adrift!!! It truly is a new Navy from when I served active duty. And or perhaps just shows the differences in standards enlisted are/were held to vs officers for gear adrift?
😅 let me go knife hand Philip real quick
@@jujuandphil2020😊😊
I slept in supply berthing , on the top rack ,onboard the U.S.S. Oliver Hazard Perry (FFG-7) from ‘93-‘96. Thank god for the “ OH SH*T!! “ straps during rough seas.
was she still in Philly? Had a frind on the Sprague in the mid 80's
@@jimmccormick6091 The Perry was turned into scrap metal
@@jimmccormick6091 I also served on the Sprague
Have a Canadian in the berth. With that photo of the CN tower on the door ?
I'm shocked at how little personal space officers get.
well, officers or sailors, we are all human and some are just more privileged and luckier to become officers
I was a naval officer, but I have no idea about officer country, since I never had shipboard duty.
Gosh you are so lucky!
Kind of surprised by the lack of use of nautical terms. Door, bathroom, wall and not hatch, head, bulkhead?
are the mattresses hard or soft? what happens if you can't handle the bedding style, because truly that can wear you down over time
Yeah… navy is more or less and young man’s job
I hope the Lieutenant and his Lady will accept the respects and regards of an old cavalry corporal. A tip of the Stetson to you.
Ticonderoga class cruiser.
I launched the missiles in the thumb nail haha no joke
How many bunks are occupied over the course of 24 hours? 2-3 per work shift?
That really depends!
How do you guys keep the top of the coveralls out of the floor when on the toilet? Can someone explain? 🤷♂️
hummmmm you can hold it or it's just on the floor... now the fleet is pushing out the new two piece cover all
@jujuandphil2020 that's nasty bro 🤮
JO Jungle. Much smaller on FFGs.
Looks like the three-man on a Spru-can I was assigned to on a Med cruise in ‘94. Boy, I miss those days…not!😂
As Enlisted Flight Crew in the USAF, I got a single room. 😅
Sometimes I really think AF is the way to go.
@jujuandphil2020 highly recommend..
That's why it's called the Chair Force.
@@edwardpate6128 yep... when you can end the entire world, while sitting in a chair, playing x- box, the other services get jealous.
A lot better than being enlisted stacked 3 high!
why's that?
Fun fact... you can stuff someone in the coffin rack and close it. The more you know.
My father was a officer and enlisted. I don’t understand why people are upset with the officers. My dad aged so fast when he commissioned. There’s a lot of responsibility involved when you’re an officer.
No comparison to enlisted that’s for sure, same as the food
Can you do a video about Naval Academy Nominations and how they work?
No, figure it our yourself like we all did!
@@james-pierre7634 yo chill this was ten months ago and it was before I looked more into it
@@sushidog7323 The point is you still asked someone to do the work for you.
@@james-pierre7634 I just thought they might have some insight
Did you need permission from the CO to post this video?
The 'nooks and crannies' are probably better for privacy so you're not all six of you in each other's hair, but otherwise it is a visually difficult environment and my guess is, full of afterthoughts and designed by committee. Feel like an officer should have no more than one roommate.
I agree. But it is what it is at times...
Ask me again why I joined the air force.
If Navy life and mission were easy, we'd let the air force do it.
@@jeffreywolf8332At least we don't need the Marines to baby sit us.
@@briangulley6027 Neither do we. In fact, they can't even get to the fight without us.
What sort of jobs would a junior officer do?
Getting yelled at by O-4s and lots of powerpoint.
If you think this is cramped for six, you would not believe the berthing for Marines embarked for deployment. Bunks 4 or 5 high and gear on the bunks during the day, on the deck at night.
No shot.
Downstairs? You mean below? What stairs? They’re called ladders. What do they teach you boots at the Academy? I spent 3 1/2 as an E5 on the last all-gun cruiser. You probably wouldn’t understand the lingo. I guess that’s progress 🤷
Golfer5824, oh MAN! Those absolutely BEAUTIFUL All-Gun HEAVY CRUISERS! Never served on one, but they were awesome warships! I think our Navy made a huge mistake in taking the All-Guns out of the fleet, just like they screwed up when they eliminated "Lighter-Than-Air" squadrons (ZP) in the very early 60s.
Yeah. “Outside”? “Wall”? Weatherdecks and bulkhead.
Oh, man. Bro, fuck that lol. DDGs get 2 to a room. Flashbacks to when I was enlisted berthing. DDG life is where it's at!
Downstairs?
I will tell you this, and I think many will agree with me- Those grey, wool blankets? The one current active duty sailors HATE? There will come a day when you will MISS those damn things... (at least I do)
Sickening that enlisted have to clean officers quarters
If our Enlisted berthing ever looked like that, we'd get our asses chewed out big time by our Div Officer and probably have our liberty secured! Nowadays, young officers such as yourself would be old enough to be my kid so these days I would likely call you "Son" rather than "Sir!" 🤣Thank you for your service!
I agree, lot's of gear adrift.
Classic boomer
Closet? They're called lockers lol
Have a field day. Clean your stateroom!
Downstairs, hey down below salty
Most Royal Navy are single occupancy
Do they still get Grog?
Gear adrift EVERYWHERE
Why is there a picture of the CN tower on a US ship? 😂
Drake album cover
You are a Mustang Officer ?
Nah straight out of high school to the academy then to the fleet
I'm glad I joined the Army lol
Zone hit...that photoluminescenct tape is not material condition ready for a combat ready ship. Way too short. All jokes aside, cool video :)
Some JO needs an Alpha inspection. Or maybe go back to INSURV standards
"Living" he says. Pretty low bar for that term I'd say.
Pizza shark
A sink?? Try scuttlebutt!
No, a scuttlebut is a drinking fountain. A sink still a sink.
go mustang!
You guys need to make an Eighth Amendment case. A prisoner has a Constitutional right to more space.
lol a lot of enlisted sailors have worse living condition than we do
Not that much different from the enlisted berthing as far as rack space is concerned.
Oh yeah. Definitely!
Transfer to a Amphib Get a actual Stateroom!
Why TF would anyone join the navy? Ship life looks like hell and these are the “upgraded” quarters.
If you have to ask I cannot explain it to you.
The berthing you showed in this clip was an absolute pig stye. You would have never gotten away with living like in day, not even in O country.
Damn. He’s gorgeous
The ship or Philip? 😂
You get to pee into a bottle in a ship full of rejects.
this is awful
Downstairs? When did that become a Naval term on a warship? Not in my navy.
#NotMyNavy #LowerDeck
This officers area is known as "Boys Town" where the junior officers sleep. When you get to be a more senior officer you get a stateroom with one roomie. Department heads usually get private staterooms.
Haha we call it the “JO jungle” and on a small boy, it’s not rare to see a first tour JO sharing a room with a DH!
