Hey everyone. I'm AO3 Cortes.
And welcome aboard the USS Wasp.
I'm going to show you where I work. Where I live. And where I play.
This is my Navy life. So let's go.
Hey guys, welcome to my shop. This is where I work. Come in.
So in my shop I work on some pretty cool stuff. From 20 - 25mm
machine guns to rocket launchers.
Speaking on phone: Gun Shop AO3 Cortes. How may I help you sir or ma'am.
This is the CRALTS, the Common Rack and Launcher Test Set.
It tests out bomb racks, rocket launchers. It says "go" or "no go".
Then if it's a "go" we'll send it up to the flight deck.
Where they load it up to the jets or the helos.
And then load up bombs or missiles.
So this is the mess deck. Out to sea we have about 3,000 people
onboard, including Navy and Marine personnel. So I'm about to
get off my shift, so let's head out.
So before we head out of base, I want to show you some of the
cool recreational facilities, as Navy personnel, we get to use.
This is Iowa Point, the marina where you get to rent out kayaks
and sailboats. Across the street we have the golf course.
And we have the bowling alley. Then we have the gym. It's free.
It's a state of the art gym. We have the pool. Then we have the
racket courts the basketball courts and of course your weights
and your treadmills. Those are a few of the many things that we
get to utilize as Navy personnel. But the weekend started, so let's go.
Hey, welcome to my house. Come on in.
There is a perception of the Navy that people on the ship are
always just going to be on the ship. But outside the ship I
have my own life. Of course you can see, this is where I'm at
when were in port. This is where we have our pictures, we have
our video games, and our TV. That is my roommate.
I usually just go like this.
This is my kitchen. I'm about to cook some carne asada or fajitas.
So I'll meet you guys tomorrow at the beach.
Hey guys, you saw where I work, where I live and now this is
Virginia Beach ocean front. Me and my surf club meet up here every
Wednesdays and Saturdays just to catch some waves. The Navy offers
you cool places to live. And this is just one of them.
So let's go catch some waves.
Obviously, not every day is a good day. So I'm going to go and
meet up with my friends at the Navy beach for an awesome barbeque.
We just finished up surfing so now we are over here at the
Navy private beach called Dam Neck. My friends are about
to enjoy some awesome barbeque so I'm about to head over
and just eat and go swimming.
So you saw where I work where I live and where I play.
I don't just spend my time on the ship. I also have my free
time too. But now I want to spend some time with my friends.
So you guys are going to have to go.
