At sea, you will be excited to visit places in Bangladesh and abroad, which you may have only read or heard about. It is a far cry from duty ashore. You will be given responsibility and will be doing an important job for which you have been uniquely trained. Of course, sea duty does not mean you will spend all your time at sea. Your ship will have its own ‘home-port’ and you will spend a fair amount of your time in or close to that port. Life at sea is full of challenges and immense satisfaction. While you are at sea, the Navy looks after the welfare of your family like its own. Whether on a ship or submarine, sailors are provided with sufficient living spaces. Each sailor is assigned a “berthing area,” which includes a locker for storage, as well as a “bunk” for sleeping. The cooks in the galleys (kitchen) constantly prepare food for men. There are dining halls for the men to dine. Mess decks are not just areas to sleep, but are also for recreation – sailors can kick back and watch television or play games.
