Welcome aboard an EA-18G Growler Case I launch aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) in the Arabian Gulf.
This jam was my attempt at a "Band of Brothers-style" tribute to a man that was a truly remarkable Naval Officer and President. We don't make them like this anymore.
Here is the link to President Kennedy's speech at the Naval Academy on 1 August 1963.

*Correction to the narration*
The Catapult Safety Observer in this jam is an ABE (Aviation Boatswain's Mate - Launch/Recovery), not an ABH (Aviation Boatswains Mare - Aircraft Handler). Thanks to my viewers for pointing this out.
Fly Navy!

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.
Beautiful sunset lighting.
Thank you for sharing these moments.
To quote a Hornet Pilot classmate of mine: "The only reason I fly at night is they make me do it, so I can fly in the daytime." Fly Navy!
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 ❤
Your father is one of the Greatest Generation this country has known. I thank him, and you as well, for being some of the good guys.
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!
Cheers!
Make sure to like and share the jam!!
Pail ftw
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.
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 🇪🇺🇺🇸.
Thank you!
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.
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.
Best compliment ever! Thanks!
"Only" six years? No mate, there's no "only" about it.
@Jim-kc2ol Thank you.
@@HotTacticalBoyfriendOfficial exactly !!
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
Just got into the Naval Academy Summer Seminar! Hopefully one day I’ll be sitting in your cockpit:)
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.
@@spectral5734 appreciate it dude! I believe I sent in my app sometime middle February? Maybe even early February. I know they’ll announce some acceptances earlier than April. A buddy on mine got into SLE a week ago. Don’t let it discourage you though, and make sure you apply to all of them
Good luck, hope you will get to FLY NAVY! My son does!
@@sweynforkbeardtraindude That is really cool that he gets to do that I also want to fly in the navy
@@LukeMcCastlain I got accepted to session 1! But I didn't get the required medical and liability forms sent to me so I just emailed them hopefully I'll get them.
I'm retired US Army, but after watching this I'm inspired to say GO NAVY! Thanks for your service brother!
Thank you for your service as well.
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.
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! 🗽
Thanks for your support!
Un saludo muy especial de mi, parte,
Cada vez que veo este canal me dan ganas de volar.
Yo vivo en los Estados Unidos, me gusto la aviacion desde pequeño, pero mis ojos siempre han tenido problemas. Sigue adelante! Yo optuve my lisencia privada aqui, en Daytona Beach, Embry-Riddle.
Aplique a la NAVY in 1999, espere un tiempo, y ya no pude esperar mas, conegui trabajo me case y ahora tengo hijos, la aviacion se puso muy cara, estonces no pude continuar.
Descubri DCS, es un simulador de vuelo en realidad virtual, esto es lo mas cercano que puedo llegar a ser Un Aviador Naval.
Fuerza! Che! Y perdona mis errores de ortografia,
PS : I love Lesluthiers.
@@8ASIMULATORS saludos !!! Wow recién lo veo!!! . Un fuerte abrazo desde esta parte de América . Si no es inconveniente me gustaría poder ponerme en contacto con usted para tener una amistad y aprender de alguien con experiencia , cualquier cosa que pueda aconsejarme. Saludos!!!!
You go man! Good luck in your flight training!
@@thomasfx3190 thank Sr.
Awesome video, Growler! I never get tired of watching these.
Glad you like them!
Hope the next video is talking through the night recovery. Great job as always.
I'm a Navy Vet, AO at Whidbey NAS. What an amazing video, great narration Sir!
Cheers!
"Get myself emotionally ready " a fantastic line that I'm sure is soooo true 👍 love ur content my brother! FLY NAVY 😊
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 ;-)
Cheers!
Wow to Pail. I felt like I was in the seat being catapulted off the deck!
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!
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!
yeah , l guess it times we did sub duty but it definitely kept us on our toes, or strapped into our racks. @@jackbarrier7267
Yeah, it definitely kept us on our toes or strapped in our racks. Hard to tell sometimes if we were on a tin can or sub. 😁
I feel safe, knowing that you are teaching a new generation of fighter pilots to serve and protect our Nation. Thank you for your service!
So cool…safe flying…Fly Navy!
Great video, excellent voiceover. Tasteful music over intro. No music over 'action sequences' and your narration. Perfect.
Thanks!! I wish I could buy you a beer.
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!👍
Profiles in Courage is still one of my favorite books.
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.
TYFYS.
My uncle flew the S-3 Viking on the Carl Vinson. I did 6 years and got to be on 3 different ships. 4th generation navy. Love your videos
TYFYS.
@@GrowlerJams you too shipmate. Stay safe up there o7
Thank you for your service
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”…..
Pail, I'm sending you a virtual beer 🙂 !!!
You and your videos inspire me to be better everyday.
Awesome video, sir. Thank you for your service. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Greetings!!
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!
Mad respect for the night catch 🇺🇸
Thanks for a great channel Pail! Fly Navy!
Fly Navy!
From a US Air Force Nurse (O-3), I wish I had a job like yours, sir. Love the narration and the videos!
Good vid Pail. One of my boy just finished tour on CVN76 and the other just finished his tour on SSN767 and was selected for STA21. GO NAVY.
Fly Navy!
Thank you and please thank them for their service….
Congrats on the STA21 Selection. Great accomplishment.
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).
Cheers!
Perfect narration. Letting me experience what I’ve only seen. Very cool.
The inspiring speech, the fascinating narraion, the beautiful sunset, and most important of all the signature move. This video truly has it all!
Another absolutely beautiful video
That has to be the most awesome job in the whole world
Fly Navy 👍
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".
😂
Love it. I do too. I even have a pair of gloves now….
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.
The greatest President ever gives us charge to protect our Nation and our Freedom. Proud of you Commander Pail, and thank you for your Service!
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.
Cheers!
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!
Excellent, thanks for posting this, Outstanding!

Thank you for your service….
Good job PAIL.
Enjoy your time in the Navy. If I had one thing to do agin in life it would be flying for the Navy VF-41 Black Aces. Goose.
Thank you for your service
Fly Navy! I could totally do this for a retirement gig. Just need a few waivers.
😂
In America today, so many owe so much to so few. Thank you - men and women of the USN & USMC!
Watching these NEVER gets old. Loved my time on The Big Stick and miss it even more.
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.
Glad you enjoyed it!
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.
Brother your voice is Top Tier 🫡🫵🏿!! your voice over game is SERIOUS!!
Very nice,and patriotic video as you are!🙏❤️great Commander Mr Growler 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Honor to you ❤
I love your content I wanna be a navy pilot when I'm older just like you
Write down that goal and make it happen!
Ok I will
Yes please, I'm trying to get my 18 y/o to join for a career path
Step 1 - contact the recruiting office closest to you (Navy, Air Force or Army, sometimes all in one building)
Step 2 - either walk in or make an appointment
Step 3 - take the assessment test (in 2003 it was 65 questions)
Step 4 - the recruiter will talk to you about choices based off the assessment test
Step 5 - make the commitment or you can think it over etc..
It maybe a bit different now days but 20 years ago this is how it was setup
@@kindnuguzI’d highly recommend your youngin become an officer. Again, it’s yalls choice but why not be an officer ya know?
I can’t get enough of our Navy fighters ❣️You’re the best 🥰
Naval Aviator Bob Ross baby!!! My kids love watching these - thanks Sir.
Nice!
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.
Thank you for your service…
Ex P-3 driver here. CDC on GW back in the day. Great videos. Miss those days. FLY NAVY!
Thank you for fouling the short field gear! 😂
@@GrowlerJams 🤣
Thank you for your service….
I love this channel!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Ha! No comment!
Thank you for your service…
Loved the emotionally ready comment for PM recovery. Thank you, Sir
Best subtle "Signature move" yet, nice work.
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!
You could easily get a job as a voice over artist. These are always awesome! Keep up the great work!
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!
JFK, a brave man and President of the highest quality. Great video, thanks as always for sharing. Fly Navy.
I’m sure that never gets old!!
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.
Yeah. I look forward to it.
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…
I really like how you got in the near silent “signature move”, it was classic. Go Navy 👍
😎
Signature move at the conclusion of that inspiring speech by a great man. Stay safe and have a FOD free day.
😂
Enjoyed the whispered “signature move” during the JFK speech.
😎
Superlativo 👏👏👏👏👏👏 thanks mister Growler ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Another good one sir! Thanks for your service. USN PR2 1971-75
TYFYS
Thank you for your service
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 👍
When I was watching this, I could tell you were about to do your signature move. RIGHT when you did it... I said it in my head and you whispered it in the video. SUPER creepy moment, and SUPER awesome at the same time. 10/10
😁
Thanks for update. Many of us think of you and your shipmates everyday. Stay busy.
I love this channel so much.
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
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!
Yes I do! Every time.
@@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!
I get nervous just watching. 😅 Keep up the good work. Appreciate all you do. God speed!
VERY cool to see the two coming as you launched.
A fine cinematic opening to another Growler Jams! Thanks for your service!
Navy pilots are my heros. I'm 73, btw.
Thanks, old timer! 😂
I always look forward to new Growler Jams. Why the heck did I get tears after this one? Damn powerful.
Cheers!
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!
Fly Navy!
HI ! buddy ! ... so glad to see and hear you again ... take care of you and fly safe !!!!
Hey, thanks!
It's so beautiful sunset, and warm! I enjoy being in the cockpit with you, far away what it could be; wet, foggy, windy and still snow on the ground making the weather really chilly. The most I love your calm and soft narration what's going on on deck and on the Sky!! 💖💖💖
Thank you! ✈️⚓️🤍
Extraordinarily Brilliant Pail. This is on another level. Many thanks.
Many thanks!
Pail, this intro is very touching and moving for all who are and have served for our Country, awesome. OK good thing you explained the feet differences from you and that other jet which went off your nose to the left, yikes had just a little pucker going on whew, big kudos for concurring another night recovery, my upmost respect to all. Thank you, Pail, for another great Jam.
Cheers.
Thank you very much for this! I am sending it to my grandson who is in training to work on submarines.
Wonderful!
Thank you again Pail for allowing us to launch with you. And thank you President Kennedy for your Service to your Country. Bless you both & all Navy personnel. ✈
My dad was a career Naval Aviator. He flew in Vietnam, took some rounds in his Huey but dished out so much more destruction than he received. Fly Navy!
God Bless you both….
Navy Huey?
@@beckyumphrey2626 yes, HAL-3 the Navy Seawolves
I am so glad we have you :D All these nice footages and insights to the naval aviation and overall the fascinating Growler ^^
Love me some Growler Jams and signature moves!
