My daughter is going to be on the Bush. But she is not thrilled, not quite ready to embrace the ship duty.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom Ship03Div233 11 hours ago My son is an IT but will be on the USS Brisbane.
Comment by Tonya M 11 hours ago Oh my gosh, I can't show her this one!! She is a college graduate and has decided that we are going to work on her ODS school paperwork. I tried to get her to go in as an Officer but she didn't want to wait, now we have to get the packet together. She will be home for two weeks so we are going to have a lot to do!
I think she is JCC which means radio so hopefully she can call.
Comment by Dad of Sailor, USS Bush CVN-77 11 hours ago No, there are MANY Sailors living off the ship/base that are not E5. It's not actually living off base, it's just sleeping off base as they are on the ship during the day working while in port and they live on it while underway.
My son likes having his car because it gives him a small place that he can be alone, talk on the phone, listen to music, etc. He sits in the parking lot in his car with the music on and talks to his girlfriend and us. Before he got his car he really didn't have anyplace to sit alone and relax and talk on the phone as every place is SO crowded. They don't get cell coverage on the ship (except for one small location in the hanger bay) so they have to be off the ship for decent cell coverage.
He hasn't said so yet but I think he actually slept in his car one night just so he didn't have to go back on the ship.

Comment by Dad of Sailor, USS Bush CVN-77 11 hours ago Being an IT is nice for communicating...IT's on the computer side have access to email 24/7 and can email all the time. IT's on the radio side have access to phone lines so they can call once in awhile.
We communicate daily via email while he is underway. There are pay phones on the ship that are expensive $20 for a 40 minute card that my son calls us on once in awhile.

I thought they had to be E-5 to live off base?
