Everybody stands watches. A division might have a lieutenant colonel as the duty officer.

I just want to know how Navy personnel keep those white uniforms so clean. I love doing laundry and working on stains (instant gratification) but the blinding white of Navy clothing just boggles my mind.

SFC Judith Storm - Yeah, I want to know that too because when we were on USS Raleigh in 1976, we didn't get laundry get done one time properly in two months. You had to throw your clothes in a laundry bag with your name on it. It would come back in this horrid looking grey ball roughly the size of a laundry bag.
If you wanted clean underwear, you had to go down to the Ship Store and buy it new.
I am happy to relate that Raleigh was disposed of as a naval target in 1994.

The bonus is if you get a clearance and are low ranking you will stand watch for all sorts of things. A safe chained to the floor, you will watch a guy while he's watching secret stuff stack in a hanger. Some time you'll watch stuff you have no idea what it is. You just stare at it until relieved. Army and standing watch are one and the same.

*Insert patriotic cliché about everyone standing watch at the wall of freedom or the palace of democracy or something similarly silly*

Always watches in the Army.
Now in the SEALs you have to have a big watch. It has to be able to withstand about 4 times the water pressure of what would kill a normal human being. Everyone knows that a Trident on your chest automatically makes you be able to dive deeper than submarines and whales. You also get issued really cool Oakleys and a stylist.

Seriously? Are you going to stand watch? YES. It's the military.
Secondly, women aren't going to be accepted into BUD/S anytime soon. But if that's what you really want, I would suggest you start preparing yourself mentally and physically before you even begin to worry about "standing watch."

I don't want to seem like a douche, but the slim chance the Army would let you be in the Infantry.. you most certainly won't become a SEAL anytime soon. I feel like you did this as a big joke or just to see responses. Military is all about watch.

SN (Join to see) - I find the question quite ridiculous. I mean you claim to want to be a SEAL, but you seem to have no idea what they do? But go for it.

In that case you need to study up on SEALs truly understand what they do and the training they go through. Its very intense, probably one of the most intense besides Delta Force. You understand that swimming will become your life and you will do it daily for miles on end.. Watch will become a way life. There will never be a moment that you aren't on watch except to get sleep since you won't have any for a couple days.

Standing watch has been in ALL phases of any Military from the beginning of coordinated militaries. My son, who is a MP in the Army National Guard, was kind of frustrated because he had to stand watch duty over an empty field for a week...I laughed and said what if something would have happened in your field..My daughter, a MP in the Army, while standing watch at an armory, said to me, I'd rather be shooting DAd...point is in the Navy I stood MANY watches, many kinds...Part of life in the Military...(Don't fall asleep either)

As an infantryman, I can tell you that I knew I would stand watch going in - but I never imagined how often or how long. You stand watch over people, AOs, a fire sector... everyone can be told to do this. Some MOS's just do it more than others.

You will always stand watch and have duty unless you make Master Chief (E-9) in the Navy.
