In this episode, we sit down with Henry H., a former Cryptologic Technician (CTR) in the United States Navy, to hear his firsthand experiences serving in uniform. Henry shares what life was like in the Navy, the realities of the CTR community, lessons learned along the way, and how his time in service shaped who he is today.

As a special nod to this milestone, we’re giving a shoutout to USS Stethem (DDG-63) in honor of our 63rd episode—an Arleigh Burke–class destroyer commissioned in 1995, proudly sailing under the motto “Steadfast and Courageous.” Fair winds and following seas to the crew past and present.

Whether you’re a veteran, currently serving, or just curious about Navy life, this episode delivers authentic sea stories straight from the deckplates.

Welcome aboard the latest episode of the Sea Stories Podcast! This week, we give a special shoutout to the USS Fitzgerald (DDG-62) in honor of our 62nd episode.

Whether you're active duty, a vet, or just a fan of Navy life, this episode is packed with laughs, nostalgia, and real-deckplate perspective.

Welcome to the latest episode of the Sea Stories Podcast! Join the crew as they share wild and hilarious Navy stories over a round of beers. Each episode, we pick a beer theme, swap sea stories, and wrap up with a quick beer review.

In this episode, we dive into some of the most outrageous Navy-related content found on Reddit and X (formerly Twitter). From legendary shipboard antics to unbelievable internet debates, we break down the best (and worst) the online world has to offer—all while reminiscing about our own salty experiences.

Grab a cold one and settle in for laughs, memories, and a little beer talk. Cheers!

Welcome to the Sea Stories Podcast. In this episode 60 we give a shout out to the USS Paul Hamilton (DDG-60). Then we interview Fire Controlman Chief (retired) DJ Chavez about his Naval service. He gives us the scoop on his ridiculous deployment mustache and what is was like on the 200+ days at see during, what was dubbed as, the corona cruise.

The Crew is fully manned and curious as to what is on the minds of this current generation of Sailors. The Sea Stories gang responds to r/navy comments.

We are working with a skeleton crew here on the Sea Stories Podcast so we decided to take a glance at what was going on in the Navy during our early days of being a sailor by flipping through the August 2000 issue of All Hands Magazine.
