Excellent video with one exception. The catapult safety observer communicating with the shooter is an ABE aviation boatswain’s mate equipment not an ABH. I know because I was an ABE.
Your narration is what makes the videos excellent. You provide the how and why to the action which is just as important as the video itself. Never get tired of watching your uploads. Stay safe aloft.
I had to move my 94-year-old Dad to hospice today and I wanted to comment here that he was the program director at Hughes Aircraft for the radar system in the aircraft that GrowlerJams is flying. A brilliant, kind, and generous man with a wonderful legacy for our country. It makes me so happy to see brave and talented pilots like GrowlerJams using the radar system that my dad was in charge of developing. Fly Navy! Wag a wing for my Dad ❤
Our neighbor flies with you all, thank you for your service. Love your videos, will keep posting my thoughts from time to time. In the meantime, take care, & thanks again for sharing, my ww2 era father Navy/Marine would love you fellows. Keep up the great work! Your friend, James
Damn your narration is absolutely fantastic. There is a quiet but irrepressible intensity to it, conveying the professional and technical grandeur of the situation. A context completely artificial, yet intensely reliant on intellectual and emotional control. Wow! Magical stuff!
My dad is a Navy veteran who was an avionics tech for the F/A-18's onboard the Kitty Hawk and two other carriers in the mid 1990's. He's a senior engineer now, and from the very beginning, all he's cared about is making sure the behind the scenes hardware works when it has to. Go navy.
I did not serve but in honor of guys like the two of you might I suggest you say whatever you want, the way you wanna say it. moo choice grassy ass from Texas.
Pail, for sure now YOU are inspiring a lot of people to become Naval aviators👏💪. Thank you for your service and for keeping the skies safe for us, reassuring to know we are on the same side 🇪🇺🇺🇸.
This video was in your top 5 best videos, Pail. Listenìng to Kennedy and thinking about what you've done for our country for so many years and now getting the next generation ready to follow in your steps, got me way up in my feelings this morning. The quality of this video was off the charts. Wow. You've never posted a mediocre video and you can't imagine how many times I've gone to sleep listening to some of your older videos and hearing those engines jet you into the blue skies. Man, I love that sound. I can't even get started on your voice 😊. But, it rivals the raw sounds of those engines.... can't get better than that, Pail. THANK YOU for everything you've done for our nation. You're the best. Always your #1 fan. Prayers, respect, and love. *Tee* 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 🇺🇲🙏🏻🇺🇲 #FlyNavy
I am a proud Navy veteran and maintainer of the F-14 Tomcat. I served with, and under, truly terrific men, especially those of the Vietnam era who were my seniors when I was in, starting with my boot camp DI's, Chief Petty Officer Reyes and Boatswains Mate 1st Class Ramos. Even though I was in for only 6years, I bleed Navy blue and gold. Pail, you Sir, are the kind of officer I would've been proud to serve alongside. Believe it or not, your videos have contributed to me continuing with writing my books when I had reached a point where maybe I was going to quit. Your videos, along with several others, reminded me of where I once served and how well I was taught; so well in fact that 40 years later, their lessons still resonate deeply within me. You're a teacher, not just a content creator. I've taught others, both in the classroom and individually and rest assured, Sir, you have that quality. Thank you for all you've done. Believe me, if your buy me a beer was still active, I'd buy the next several rounds.
That brought tears to my eyes. I've never ever thought of Pail as a content creator until you said that. I mean, he makes amazing videos but when he started posting videos it was like he wanted us to understand that he risked his life every day to have the coolest job in the world. He showed us, taught us and we all hung on every word. He humbled me then and now and it's such a secure feeling knowing Pail is training the next batch of pilots. If you ever publish a book, I would love to read it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service. Sincerely, Tee
Hey man, when did you apply for NASS? I sent in my application January 21st and still haven't got a word back. I thought the decisions come out near April. Good job on getting in btw.

Hello sir, I'm from Argentina from a small town in the interior of the state of Buenos Aires, I am currently studying for a commercial pilot and for having my private pilot license. My dream was always to be able to serve my nation and be a naval pilot ... but for economic and political reasons it could not be realized. My greetings and my respect to all naval pilots for their work and professionalism, are a great inspiration! ... And you are a great inspiration for me. Although it seems not, your videos are of great help to me to be able to understand more about keeping the course, correcting trajectory, etc. A big hug and God bless your nation and the nations of the free world. Enjoy! 🗽

I love the opening with President Kennedy. Always a pleasure. Thank you so much for sharing. Thank you all even more for your service and protection, and the family's that await your arrival home. ♥️🤍💙♥️🤍💙
My father served in WW2, Army construction, The Wildcats. He fought at Peleliu and Okinawa. He trained at Fort Rucker. He built the runways you flyboys landed on! 😁 He shot some rifles, blew up and burned up some caves, too. In the Band of Brothers, Pacific, you will see the Marines crossing the runway at Peleliu. You will see a bulldozer in the background. That's my dad!
Thank you for your service and for what you do and have done to protect this country! Now you get to pass it in to the next generation of Naval aviators. The best of the best! All I can say is thank you!👍
From an old Aviation Machinist Mate 2nd Class that served aboard the USS Midway during Vietnam in 1971, you are the Man! Keep up the great work and Fly Navy!
What a small world, I was on a Destroyer there from 1971 to 1972, and we followed the Midway doing plane guard when we weren't on the gun line. Was always in awe of the carriers especially when we pulled alongside you. Take care...
Good to hear from you Phil. I always felt sorry for you guys during high seas. I've stood on the fan tail and watched you disappear then pop back up. Must have been one hell of a ride!
This old army guy loves your videos and I love my country. (Not so much the politicians.) I can't say "Thank You" enough for what you and your fellow flyers do.
Thanks again Growler.! Your Deck handlers are real Pro's. Methods and procedures of arming, fuelling and moving A/C on the Boat are second to none. I reckon a Battle of Midway Deck guy would be nodding in approval from up there...! Cheers...
I am super excited to maybe one day be in your shoes. I got a 61/8/9/8 on the ASTB and I'm all set to submit for this April. You inspired me big time Pail! That and the Blue Angels constantly practicing over my hometown ;-)
I really enjoyed hearing JFK’s address at the Naval Academy. His life (and) death affected many of us deeply. My dad passed 6 months to the day JFK died. “Be careful out there”…..
Do you ever get any nerves before taking off? It feels like a tense time, but your commentary is so calm, I wonder if you feel chilled during these times? Thanks for the amazing videos!
@@GrowlerJams Wow, I didn't expect that answer and I respect your honesty. Now I feel better about my "nerves" on my regular civilian takeoffs. 🤣 I guess it's a good thing and keeps us sharp and focused during a critcal phase of flight!
From a former Prowler ECMO, Thank you for your continued service, thanks for sharing these videos, and thanks for inspiring others. Stay safe out there!
What an opening! He did inspire generations. What a speaker he was, and let's not forget his Naval Service. There have been two traumatic national events in my lifetime - Kennedy's Assassination and 9/11. Each of us will always remember where we were when we first heard about it, in my case walking back from lunch while in the Corp of Cadets at Texas A&M in 1963. The school voted to cancel our annual bonfire which had been started, but now was disassembled. Years later while in VS-24 stationed in NAS Norfolk, I got a call from the pilot of the USS Kennedy's COD pilot who needed a co=pilot for a trip he wanted to make in the ships C-1. He was going to Texas and no one attached to the ship wanted to go. He asked me if I could go (he knew I had family in Houston) and so I went with him in "Miss Caroline" as the plane was named. They had really fancied her up, chrome prop spinners and the name painted on the sides.
I have one of those handles in my car to aid in getting in and out. Any time I adjust my seating position I grab it and of course say, "Signature move".
Thanks very much. I always enjoy your videos and find them inspirational. This one I particularly liked the inclusion of JFK speaking to naval personnel about service to the nation.
Thank you for your service and this video with President Kennedy. Be safe until you retire to enjoy your life after protecting our nation. I was Air Force but all the respect in the world belongs to you Navy guys.
Pilots always seemed so chill, even during deployment. I remember walking aft on the 03 level towards RAM 2 while whistling some tune. When I had stopped I heard someone following close behind begin singing the song where I had left off. It was a pilot absolutely drenched in sweat with a huge grin looking like he was having the best day. I appreciated that they tended to treat stooge-level minions such as myself like humans. Fly Navy!
Good to see you back. I imagine you'll be happy to fly off the new Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier with the non steam catapults (electromagnetic I believe) so no obscuring steam vapor. Fly Navy, safely.
It is so beautiful... 🧡 I've already said this before, but I really appreciate and love how carefully and well you're explaining and pointing everything!! Not only in this vid. And the caption of course!! Thank You Pail !!! 🍻 The vid's new title is awesome; strong, sentimental and personal. Salute Sir!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 💙🤍❤️
Wow.. Love the sunset colors.. and THAT short 2 second launch..! That "Signature move".. No big deal.. lol.. This vid was worth the wait.. Have a great day. It's snowing up here in Southern Oregon.
Pail, this is one of your absolute best. Emotional, as I remember Kennedy clearly, and that emotion carries a reminder of the commitment you make for all of us every day. Thank you for your service (heart touch).
Dearest Pail , I hope that one day I can meet you in person I send you a big hug in your videos I relive my best memories, Thank you 🙏❤️ Officer and gentleman 🤗❤️👏
There is no Right or Left in the Navy. lol. You surely know it’s Port and Starboard. Love the video and great narration. Thank you for your Service and Sacrifices you make every day to protect and secure our country. Go Navy Sir!
Talking about "Pinky launches", did the "let's attack Russia from somewhere in the Pacific" on Enterprise with Midway and another (embarrassing that I can't remember which, but it was 40 years ago!). Because Midway was there, we were the "night carrier" usually launching around 2200 or so. The one thing I liked about that was, I figured that if I had to, I could tank till dawn!
I`m old and British, but everytime I launch off a Nimitz class in DCS, I`ve got Pail in my head...."Coming forward....a little right....launch bar down....alright". Hehe!
Pail, I love your narrations, and of course, your signature move... Truly great, entertaining videos... Keep it up man, and thank you for your service.
I can tell you as an very old ABHCS for 4 mikes and 22 seconds you brought back my youth. I'm an old Kennedy guy so this hits close to home. I'm still proud and I still serve LFG! Fly Navy!!
Damn you … I want you to know that you make this ol’ Sailor want to be back in the Navy. Putting Kennedy’s words with you narrative tones made me stand a little taller and admire the flag waving over my home even more. There was no greater pride than to have served in the Navy. Dad and Granddad kept the jets flying and I joined “The Undersea Canoe Club”. BUT my love is still Naval Aviation - Fly Navy!
Both the words, the dedication of all involved, and bravery of all service men and women are truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Fly Navy 👍

This comment generally sums up all GrowlerJams video.
I thought everyone's in head narration does what he is saying aloud..... well, when the situation timing or finesse.

Thank you and please thank them for their service….
Congrats on the STA21 Selection. Great accomplishment.
I'm really impressed on how agile the plane are on the ground, turns like it is nothing. I know it has to be, but its just so cool to watch.
I almost....ALMOST missed that very sneaky and silent signature move!
😎
Dearest Pail , I hope that one day I can meet you in person I send you a big hug in your videos I relive my best memories, Thank you 🙏❤️ Officer and gentleman 🤗❤️👏
Fly Navy! I could totally do this for a retirement gig. Just need a few waivers.
😂
There is no Right or Left in the Navy. lol. You surely know it’s Port and Starboard. Love the video and great narration. Thank you for your Service and Sacrifices you make every day to protect and secure our country. Go Navy Sir!
Talking about "Pinky launches", did the "let's attack Russia from somewhere in the Pacific" on Enterprise with Midway and another (embarrassing that I can't remember which, but it was 40 years ago!). Because Midway was there, we were the "night carrier" usually launching around 2200 or so. The one thing I liked about that was, I figured that if I had to, I could tank till dawn!
Awesome video, sir. Thank you for your service. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Greetings!!
Superlativo 👏👏👏👏👏👏 thanks mister Growler ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You motivate me so much Sir, of which I respect “Fly Navy!” Yet a piece, of me said hey Fly Marines too being a Marine! Oorah.
Cheers!
@@GrowlerJams Cheers Good Sir.
Thank you for your service…. Semper Fi……. Rah…
Hi Pail, i am from 🇬🇧 and I just love your videos. This has to be one of the best yet! It felt like I was right there being catapulted off the ship.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great edit! Thank you for preserving freedom Sir!
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Absolutely fascinating
Thank you 10/10
It's been a while, Thank you
I know you've been busy and I appreciate everything you and the crew on that ship do for our country.
Cheers!
Thanks for a great channel Pail! Fly Navy!
Fly Navy!
Brother your voice is Top Tier 🫡🫵🏿!! your voice over game is SERIOUS!!
I`m old and British, but everytime I launch off a Nimitz class in DCS, I`ve got Pail in my head...."Coming forward....a little right....launch bar down....alright". Hehe!
😂
Enjoyed the whispered “signature move” during the JFK speech.
😎
Pail, I love your narrations, and of course, your signature move... Truly great, entertaining videos... Keep it up man, and thank you for your service.
Thanks, will do!
I can tell you as an very old ABHCS for 4 mikes and 22 seconds you brought back my youth. I'm an old Kennedy guy so this hits close to home. I'm still proud and I still serve LFG! Fly Navy!!
TYFYS.
Another good one sir! Thanks for your service. USN PR2 1971-75
TYFYS
Thank you for your service
Keep us old AF guys safe! You be safe Growler!
Enjoy your per diem!
Thank you for your service….
I’m sure that never gets old!!
Fantastic Jam dude!!!!
I really like how you got in the near silent “signature move”, it was classic. Go Navy 👍
😎
Damn you … I want you to know that you make this ol’ Sailor want to be back in the Navy. Putting Kennedy’s words with you narrative tones made me stand a little taller and admire the flag waving over my home even more. There was no greater pride than to have served in the Navy. Dad and Granddad kept the jets flying and I joined “The Undersea Canoe Club”. BUT my love is still Naval Aviation - Fly Navy!
Fly Navy!
Both the words, the dedication of all involved, and bravery of all service men and women are truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Fly Navy 👍
Absolute perfect lighting. No flicker on the screens /hud. Fantastic narration.....and fly navy!..
It can only be growler jams! Fly safe sir!
Glad you enjoyed it!
"the impending night recovery" never have four words sent such terror through men's hearts
😂
Outstanding!
