  1. Two corrections and a suggestion. First, a correction about Chaplains. While a Chaplain of a given religious faith would usually hold services in that faith, they would also hold services in other faiths if a Chaplain of that denomination was unavailable. So that a Protestant Chaplain might hold both Protestant AND Roman Catholic Services as an example.

    A second correction. Fort Apache, Bronx is NOT a John Wayne movie. In fact, he might have been dead by the time that that movie was filmed. It is about a Police Station in Bronx, Now York that received the nickname of Fort Apache since someone one time reportedly shot an arrow into the station.

    And the suggestion. While I know that your area of interpretation is the late 1980's/early 1990's, you should think about converting one of the crew's quarters (and possibly one of the officers quarters) into how it looked back when the ship was first commissioned. Even better would be one "room" showing what the crew's quarters were at various times during the ship's service.

  2. Ryan we watch you and your videos of the USS New Jersey because it brings back fond memories for us that are retired and maybe for the active duty maybe dreams of what was like long ago in our great navy. Thank you and everyone else on the New Jersey for all that you do!

  3. The system for the USAF in England was as you described.

    One day in the 80s the word was Dallas. On a US base in the 80s. Naturally someone mentioned the most popular us drama of the decade, and a few minutes later the bus was stormed by security personnel.

  4. Very cool. I used to live in Singapore from 1982 until 1984, as s high school teen. I remember seeing a US flattop anchored in harbor among oil tankers etc. It really dwarfed anything by it's sheer height. Those behavioural regulations had to be followed by everyone, you risked your whole family being kicked out, if not.

  5. What caught my attention was the fact there was 3 CCTV channels, and how many different movies. USS Inchon LPH-12 82-85. We had 1 channel. Solid Gold dancers and the same movies over and over. It kept the TV addiction going.

  6. That was really cool. Reminds me of the newsletter you'd get aboard Royal Caribbean ship, like how to spend your time ashore, facts and warnings about the port and it's laws, and even the menu and tv-guide are similar!

  7. Interesting glimpse of life aboard ship. The first thing you should do is photocopy the original POD and put in safe storage, using only a photocopy for your videos and research. You might accidentally spill something on it. Bits of your lunch are stuck in your beard, dude. Libby must have forgotten to do your pre-video makeup check. 😅

  8. I really appreciate your efforts! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

  9. As a former US sailor, this brought so much nostalgia to me. I totally forgot how "binding" the POD was. Maybe binding is the wrong word. An old XO used to put "joke of the day" on his. This could result in boos or cheers. The POD you share in this video is spectacular. So much information! Brovo Zulu XO!!!

  10. Ryan, you are in potential trouble. That is a classified document that is not to be made available to the general public. It is FOUO. For Official Use Only. This is the lowest level of classification used in the military.

  11. Ryan, you spoke about the DC training being done in the POD. Every duty section had to hold a DC drill normally after Dinner each and every day. It could be fire, flooding, assist another ship. Once in a while, we would do a Security drill to mix things up. 7 days a week. Except Christmas & New Years.
