Navy having a difficult time hanging on to Surface Warfare Officers

Our country has called for a need of service.

Ship Life, Ship Life, Ship Life... A revamp/overhaul of US maritime operations. In the same way, Aircrew has to get certain hours of rest, manning, and oversight; this needs to be applied to fleet operations.

The enlisted don't get much sleep as well out at sea working 100 hours a week I served from 81 to 85

I was a surface warfare officer (SWO) from 1976 to 1980. I got out because I was exhausted. Junior SWO's are basically doing four jobs. They are running their divisions, standing watches, performing collateral duties, and working to earn their warfare qualification. The sleep deprivation was a real issue. Even though I was in a long time ago, I would bet that present day SWO's are going through pretty much what I went through.

Bring back the Battleship you will not have a retention problem.

I request to submit this video to the US Supreme Court.

They are trying to retain them and I am desperately trying to get a SWO position.
