Several nations observe or have observed a Navy Day to recognize their navy.

Navy Day is the original day to celebrate the UNITED STATE Navy, and though this party officially was switched out by Armed Forces Day (Third Saturday in May for the U.S.) in 1949, the parties of Navy Day continue on, specifically within the Naval force itself. In addition, research carried out in the 1970s showed the 'true' birthday party of the United States Navy to be October 13th, and the date was officially altered-- nonetheless, the entrenched celebration still holds guide, and October 27th is still usually celebrated instead.

The 27th October was suggested as a day to acknowledge the special day of among the Naval force's supporters which was Aide Secretary of the Naval force in 1897, Theodore Roosevelt.

Prior to 1949 the U.S. Naval force would certainly send its ships to numerous ports for Navy Day, with 1945 having a huge occasion; the current President (President Harry S Truman) examined the fleet in the Nyc Port, and there are pictures of ships docked along the Hudson Stream for the occasions.

Navy Day was last officially observed on October 27th 1949 when Louis A. Johnson directed that the U.S. Naval force's participation in such events would occur in Could, On Armed Forces Day. He was the assistant of the recently made Division of Defense.

The Navy League was not had an effect on by this decision as it is a Civillian Organisation, and they continued to organise occasions as before.

the assessment day that they had in the UK was pretty odd, really you are being assessed for the WHOLE day......they look to see if you are interacting with the others but not over doing the chatting etc etc.......in the place I was at they actually had two way mirrors so they could view us when we "thought" no one was observing us.........the one on one interview was rather brief and they do not expect you to know all the answers but what ever you do, do NOT lie or pad things out too much, one of the girls said she knew swahili really well........so one of the guys there said something to her and she had NOT a clue what he had just said, turns out he had just had an eight month tour over there and was pretty good at the lingo..............If the ask about where you wanted to be based, say that you plan on this being a career and no matter where you end up, all places have good and bad aspects, you will look for the good as much as you can.

Good luck.

U.S. Navy.......................?

Deployments are big for the military famlies, especially the Navy. My entire mom's side of the family was Navy, my grandfather will be used for an example.

Navy deployments are different from the other branches.

Types of Deployments:

1. Training Deployments:

- A ship will get called to training and will be "out to sea" for two weeks. It's crew will be on the ship with no contact for two weeks, in the middle of the Chesapeak Bay, this was hard for my aunt (my uncle was stationed on the Coral Sea) because her husband would be in the water in front of her, but she couldn't speak to him. This brought an emotional hardship because it takes a lot out of a spouse to get ready for separation, even if it is for two weeks.

2. Combat Deployments:

- A ship will be deployed for a 6 month tour, in the EX4mPLe Ocean we'll say, and then it would be cancelled because something came up. After all the mental and emotional preparation a family has done to get ready for a deploymeny, it would be more emotional for a cancelled deployment on a spouse because he or she already got ready for it.

3. Mission/ Foreign Aid/ Rescue/ Medical

- These missions are spur of the moment and can be carried out with lilttle or no preparation, these sudden deployments can take even more out of a spouse than it a regular deployment would. These missions are like the Haiti Earthquake deployments and stuff like that.

Navy career rotations are: These are usually 6 months but can be changed if the USN or DOD determines.

Sea-duty

and Shore duty.

Sea-duty you won't particularly be at "sea", but you would be at an oversea's naval station (IE: Yokosuka, JP.)

Shore Duty you would be at a base on the Continental US.

SEALs are other Spec. Ops. warriors are told to expect a back to back sea duty during their first enlistment period.

In addition, the Navy will give you room and board, incredible enlistment bonus (in your previous question you aksed about SEALs) of 60K, retirement and skills that might transfer to the civilian world.

Navy Bootcamp: Typical Day?

It's been a few years since I graduated and already quite a bit has changed, but basically you'll have X amount of time for breakfast, lunch and dinner (X amount of time turns into a much shorter amount every day).

Each day you'll have a class to attend. It might be about fiscal responsibility, it might be about Naval history, it might be about ship and aircraft designators or firefighting procedures. Some days, on top of these classes (or instead of these classes), you'll have self/group study time to review this information, as there were three academic tests to complete throughout the span of the training.

Your compartment (living spaces) are subject to inspection at any time, if you're present or not, and so there will be an emphasis on keeping it as clean as humanly possible as well as maintaining an organized gear locker. Sometimes you just do a short couple of hours on how to fold your clothing, sometimes you spend half the day trying to properly tuck the first sheet on your rack because your instructor is angry at you.

You'll spend an hour and a half a day PTing... It used to be that they could just randomly subject you to "intensive training", wherein they could sit there and have you do pushups and situps for more than an hour at a time, but apparently that's been done away with.

Other activities include drill (marching) exercise and any personal administrative tasks you have to do (providing information for a background check if you're going for a Rating requiring a security clearance, extra medical / dental things you might have to take care of, etc.), and also standing watch. You also have Divisional jobs and Ship jobs that you can apply for, such as Recruit Chief Petty Officer (RPOC), Assistant Recruit Chief Petty Officer (AROC), Medical / Dental Yeoman. Definitely apply for these: if you don't already qualify for an early promotion due to your contract, prior education, or completing certain requirements in DEP, you can actually earn an early promotion from performing a good job here.
