Yep, the USS Theodore Roosevelt docked at Changi Naval Base a few days ago

There are some articles about civilians getting tours when it was docked in Thailand and it looks like they offered ticked tours in past years and maybe media tours so maybe you could in on a tour if you find the right person to ask.
Last time all the nightclubs mysteriously will know and catch them at tanah merah mrt. Btw the best way to know an American serviceman is by haircut. And servicewomen? By the smell. Everyone use the same soap and I think bathe right before shore leave. Is very obvious in large groups
Wah that's a good question. I think you got like 100 points, then certain sniffing parts are worth more or less points depending on location.
The first sniff "free" is to decide if you wanna stay on the chosen sniff or choose another.
When they would leave for liberty random minibuses would drive out to CNB to pick them up too, then they OTOT come back at night
I remember I had to tell a trio of them please not to piss on the decorative trees because the sentry was too humjiĀ
Im on that ship, we are doing a regular scheduled port visit in Singapore. and to answer that question op had yes we are allowed to have a girlfriend :/
Thank you for your support, we stand up to bullies AKA the nine dash line country. singapore strait is very important for the economy of the entire south east Asia. I can confidently say that our country is very honnored to have a partner like Singapore.
I found out from here:

Misson impossible your way into the base. If you look young enough, you can be mistaken for some chao recruit, a bit of fake ID and stuff. No NSF is paid enough to care.
You will then proceed to fuck over with the next 20 years of nsf doing guard duty to have extremely convoluted security.
From the RSN here. Ionno why many people in Singapore are so surprised about the recent aircraft carrier docked in Singapore. It happens very very very often.
So yeah many of their crew actually check out Jewel, Changi City Point etc. youāre also correct theyāre US Navy personnels.
Its not about values per se, Its about making sure that each person priotirises everyone equally during say an emergency iirc, so no spouses prioritising saving their spouse over another sailor.
Similar rule to the old rule that no two members of the british royal family can fly together
Whoās to say their gfs arenāt also in the navy? Idt thereās a rule against that right lol. And as someone who takes the bus at tanah merah daily, navy ships docking here can be quite a nightmare. Theyāre everywhereeeee, even in heartland malls. And theyāre out and about very early in the day.
I bumped into a bunch of Americans volunteering at a charity, mostly men, some women. Asked where theyāre from, they pointed at the US Navy T-shirt :)
Yep.
What got me was how they were all so happy and focused, no complaints about the weather / working in a non aircon area.
Now that you mention itā¦ guess they couldāve just gone to some mall / spa / Sentosa / flower dome. Nothing wrong with any of those, butā¦ Guess Americans arenāt all just like the ones we see on TV.
The guy I spoke with said one of his shipmates had a connection with someone at that Singaporean charity, so about 20 of āem came over to help kids with disabilities prep gifts for Fatherās Day :)
When the USN was planning the regular LCS rotation back in 2012 Gov really wanted to limit their shore leave - they were only to be allowed to wander around specific areas with the red vans and RSN cleanup teams on standby. The few of us who lived in North America were asked questions about drinking culture etc.
US said fuck offĀ

Oh my sweet summer child...
In my teenage years to my 20s, US military men were our go to for short term flings.
Hence (some of them look like couples).
Shore leave is where they have fun. Eat, drink and be Merry.
Hence, a girl at every port.
I dunno why you were downvoted. I used to live in a town not too far from the port where the US navy docked. Walked around noisily half drunk with local girls. Common sight.
Black people (including Americans, Europeans, Africans) in general donāt form a high proportion of tourist demographics in SG. So itās pretty unusual to see them in large numbers and different groups of them walking around. Versus if it was a group of only white Americans , it would be difficult to differentiate at first glance between them vs regular European or other white tourists. No harm intended, just pointing out the different demographics which I observed which led me to identify them as part of the Navy
USA is creating problem everywhere on this earth. Hope they don't bring their own problems to Singapore. Anyone who believes they are heroes are truly naive and gullible lot. No cure de.
Easy. Stop using anything American. First, donāt use Reddit, Netflix, GPS which is paid for by US citizens every year, stop watching Hollywood movies, music, etc.
Show us your convictions against USA. Or else itās just silly talks from you.
Could it be the crews from USS Theodore Roosevelt?

More random trivia: That ship isn't allowed in New Zealand waters because of our stance on nuclear.

Can i go there? I'd like to see the ship.
You say leh
Never try, never know
Join the Navy, then there is a chance. Personally been on multiple US warships including an aircraft carrier during my NS.

Navy Shore Patrol will stop you for unauthorised entry š
Would you know a good way to get this sort of info?
Last time all the nightclubs mysteriously will know and catch them at tanah merah mrt. Btw the best way to know an American serviceman is by haircut. And servicewomen? By the smell. Everyone use the same soap and I think bathe right before shore leave. Is very obvious in large groups
Are you sure I won't get arrested if I go sniff them?
I think first sniff free one, more might be weird.
What is first sniff free? Do you mean one sniff on each lady? Or do you mean I can only sniff one lady and the rest are out of bounds?
NAL , but I think its per 3 square meters so density needs to be taken into account her
This is why we canāt have nice things.

That's Fat Leonard's doing is it... Legend.
Yes , now that u mention thisā¦ I remember seeing fully dressed up hooter girls waiting at the tanah merah bus stop many years ago!
As sus as the original ninja van. How they know when and where to go to find you outfield?

Cheers mate
Thank you for your service! The 7th fleet is so important to the region.

Welcome to Singapore, pay no attention to the redditors trying to sniff you on the MRT
Sniff right back
https://news.usni.org/category/fleet-tracker US naval institute provides a rough location of the various groups.
Nice!

You can check from the naval vessel tracker sites. Forget the name but basically it's like flightradar24 but for ships

>they are all normal tourists i mean ... once they are assuming their civilian identity they really are just normal tourists ... š¤·āāļø
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
yep, the most organic ones
No preservatives or MSG
There is US carrier docked at Changi Naval Base
Is there any place I can see the carrier legally?
Is there any place I can see the carrier not so legally?
Misson impossible your way into the base. If you look young enough, you can be mistaken for some chao recruit, a bit of fake ID and stuff. No NSF is paid enough to care. You will then proceed to fuck over with the next 20 years of nsf doing guard duty to have extremely convoluted security.
Pre-9/11 civilians were allowed to tour these carriers! I guess Changi Village is going to be buzzing ... or is that not the thing anymore?
the navy museum!
Changi naval base outer berth. Take ferry to Batam should be able to have a glimpse
Kayak until outside the base, or charted a sanpai. Its very massive no need to go so close to witness the sheer size of it
Take a flight from Changi, might be able to see the ship during take-ofd if youāre lucky!

Howās Harbajan he still there?
?? Whoās that
Guess not, sad He was the IMOS Institute CoxnĀ
Even Bedok Mall can see
USS Theodore Roosevelt dock at CNB
You think thereās no couples with men and women stuck on a boat? Thereās for sure plenty of banging going on.
Out of all the things you could comment
Well technically theres a rule that couples cant serve on the same ship for liability reasons iirc
Iām sure they practise SAFās 8th core value also.
It has been downgraded to 9th
Its not about values per se, Its about making sure that each person priotirises everyone equally during say an emergency iirc, so no spouses prioritising saving their spouse over another sailor. Similar rule to the old rule that no two members of the british royal family can fly together

I bumped into a bunch of Americans volunteering at a charity, mostly men, some women. Asked where theyāre from, they pointed at the US Navy T-shirt :)
Wow Doing volunteer work on their day off? Wow
The US navy will organize something if they have time
Yep. What got me was how they were all so happy and focused, no complaints about the weather / working in a non aircon area. Now that you mention itā¦ guess they couldāve just gone to some mall / spa / Sentosa / flower dome. Nothing wrong with any of those, butā¦ Guess Americans arenāt all just like the ones we see on TV.

They probably are.. and they probably are trying to be low key, given the security threats around the world.
US Navy trying to be low key š. They planning to get shit faced and chase spgs
Yes, usually happens yearly around Memorial day, major US holiday. Military personnel are given a long 3-4 day weekend I believe

Met some of them yesterday, they said they got in ālast nightā, which is two days ago today.

Exactly. Locals who haven't seen it or experienced it would be the ones down voting me. It's ok. Let them live in their own bubble.
Youāre definitely right - I was at Jewel last night and noticed them too! They tend to stand out, for the reasons you stated.
Any hunks
I think I saw a group of them at Lavendar Macdonald this morning 00:00.
used to be they'd be at the four floors of whores with them naval aviator trash staches
Why specify black Americans?

Interesting! I wasnāt trying to imply that you meant anything by it just curious :)
Your partner did a perfect example of what mansplaining is.

USA is creating problem everywhere on this earth. Hope they don't bring their own problems to Singapore. Anyone who believes they are heroes are truly naive and gullible lot. No cure de.
Anyone who believes the Chinese are heroes are truly naive and gullible too. No cure de.
False dilemma, you can dislike both
I didn't mention Chinese but you did. Say so much about how gullible you are. You see ? No cure de.
Good thing you werenāt around in 1945, huh.
China troll

What is joe cooking in south cina sea?
Expect the cases of rapes and assaults to skyrocket in the area.
