Why I’m grateful for ship life

Now most of you know I’m in the Navy and I know it’s always about ships so let me tell you why I’m grateful my first command was a boat:

🛥️ You get the what ifs out the way. You start to realize you don’t go out every single day or have to be on a boat in the ocean everyday for deployment

🛥️ We hit all the coolest ports. We travel the most (if you’re deployed)

🛥️ it’s just a work space but on a boat honestly. You work your hours and go home unless you got duty!!

🛥️ You bond better with the crew. We embrace the “suck” makes it more of a familiar experience

🛥️ It’s so peaceful. Seeing the beauty of the sea is such a great experience

🛥️ Not everyone will feel the same but honestly the Navy has never done me wrong. I’ve been to great commands and I’ve had bad leadership it’s really how you make it

Can’t wait to go back!!!!

... Read moreServing in the Navy can be a transformative experience, particularly for those on ships. The opportunity to travel to various ports offers not just breathtaking sights but also unique cultural encounters. Embracing the camaraderie among crew members fosters deep bonds, helping to navigate the challenges of naval life together. Additionally, many sailors find peace in the rhythm of the sea, where tranquil moments allow for reflection and appreciation of nature's beauty. For those considering a naval career, understanding the importance of adaptability and a positive mindset can significantly enhance your experience. Each command, whether good or bad, shapes your perspective and resilience. Furthermore, surviving the challenges often leads to unforgettable memories and lifelong friendships. Whether you're stationed at sea or returning to port after deployment, ship life is filled with learning opportunities and personal growth, making it a one-of-a-kind journey.

I'm grateful to see something beautiful as the sky
Sometimes, when we go through really hard patches in life, we can lose track of our goals, our intentions, ourselves. Sometimes we need a reminder of why we are here what our purpose is. I recently lost my uncle, and I know he's up there looking down on me and my family. And sometimes we take
