Every Marine is a Janitor, Every Sailor is a painter.

[hrothgar]

If it moves, salute it. If it doesn’t move, paint it.

I joined the navy to see the sea.
And what did I do?
I became a painter.

I hated tinting paint for the Navy... Wearing a respirator and full PPE in the summer in a warehouse in the southwest is very fun 😊

[doodskie]

what people don't know is that 90% of a sailor's job is painting the ship

[oneechanyamite]

Yeah right.. as a fcking merchant mariner. Every day we spent like 5 hours chipping, sanding rust and then paint it. Never ending cycle of that bullshit but hey, at least our ship looks very damn beautiful.

[halfsquatchshortbeard]

I had a buddy that was in the navy in the 90’s. He said a large amount of his time was spent just painting the ship.

Untreated metal will start rusting in no time, especially in sea air. Its a sucky part of life for anyone enlisted in the navy.

California Golden Gate Bridge is 24/7 non- stop paint job’

[watermenjohn]

If it moves, grease it, if I’d doesn’t move, paint it.

I've done welding work on ships under construction before. Trust me, even halfway through..no...even if you only finished 10% of the hull, it will already begin to rust. Even the welded areas. Unsightly, like our NWYT said, but hey, that's normal. Just try not to get any cuts lmao

[DylansPen]

Surely the U.S. Navy will be going to laser rust removal at some point.

[ML-xxkc]

Bosuns mates be like "We are a PROUD and HISTORIC breed of TRUE MARINERS!" *dies at 40 from inhaling paint dust and alcoholism*

[phantastik]

Junior sailors, you mean Deck worst!!!

[moteroargentino]

Rust can even be protective, as long as the surface is free from imperfections or cracks, through which it could penetrate the metal and worsen the damage.

[IamXtreme.]

Rust on these big ships and carriers can be protective for some time extent.

[Elliemylghomi]

Oh youre in the navy? what do you do?
I paint the boat.

[opentime]

Try getting into the superstructure of an Ohio class Submarine in July in SE Georgia. 120 degrees in there, chipping, grinding, needling rust, then priming and painting

[repairdroid]

It's all good as long as nobody touches the boats.

Steel sheets get rusty in the courtyard that is normal and it only surfaces rust....
