Total "Rush"! Damn right I miss it sometimes, like now.
But we all should have received some Sub Pay in addition to Sea Pay considering that we spent almost as much time below the sea as riding on top of it. Not always, but often enough. And when you're steaming through rough sea at Flank Speed, it really is an addictive rush like no other. .
Imagine that during sea tumult, onboard, inside and below decks are seaman doing their regular jobs. Fixing and maintaining things, keeping the boilers stoked and making four meals a day for a hungry crew of 300 - 400. Though new initiates to steaming through rough seas generally don't care much for eating, their first couple of times.
Thanks for capturing and sharing the memory, and the rush!
Be well - old GMG2

Respect to those guys who have lived that life,. It's quite incredible
This channel contains a selection of videos I have enjoyed in YouTube, as we all do and they represent nothing but my personal "taste". The video clips showing the rough seas is to remind us who served at seas, the days we were sailing indeed like Ulysses, in the "arms" of Poseidon, some times in calm, some times in storms we now realize how exactly it was... When you are onboard you only see "waters" bellow, in all the sides and "above"... and you let your body fight with the Gs. Sometimes the ship is falling down the waves and leaves you floating on the air, and then is coming back, under your feet and makes you feel 10 times heavier... not to mention the rolling and pitching. For "endless" hours, you go wave by wave, counting for the "big" one... 1, 2, 3 ,..... 7 and again and again. The sea is never an "enemy" to fear. It only needs to be respected. This challenge, this "rough play" is what makes us to love her for ever, even if -some times-she gets away to Hades (Poseidon's brother, not by coincidence), some of our beloved ones... that's the special about navy guys... "los vivos, los muertos y los barcados" ! PS: Nothing in this "playlist" is my "intellectual property". I have only included and am sharing these collection of videos with friends and colleagues with every respect to the actual contributors (Marine Nationale) who deserve every acknowledgment. Pls read the credits and see the people who created it). And since many of the viewers are asking about the music, I believe it is from Soundiva Music-WOW (google it).
