Carrier Keeps it Real

I have been in the Navy for 17 1/2 years. I have been on six deployments in that time. Two of those deployments on USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71). So when I say this is a acurate look at what a deployment is like...I think I am a person who knows what they are talking about.
If you want a bunch of pompus officers sitting there spitting out the same talking points you can hear again and again then this isn't the documentary for you. However, if you want an honest uncensored look at what is like on a deployment then this is what you want to watch.
You see the good and the bad. The Sailors drawing strength from each other as days turn into weeks and then months. You see how crap really does roll down hill as far as things not being the way they should be.
Now, I have read that some who have said, "I can't believe these young Sailors and the way they are acting in this video."
Well here is a honest look at those who are young, those who are in the middle and those who are older.
Many of those younger folks in the military do as little as possible and get mad when they are told to do something right.
You see it all here.
The one sraw back of this video is that it spends too much of its time in Air Department. I really wish it had taken more time with other departments.
This video is as real as it gets...and I hope everyone who has a family member serving on a carrier watches this!

Comments:
I watched the one with the other night, I loved understanding what my Son does during deployment. Thank you for serving!
