    I was an F-14 pilot of many years on four Mediterranean cruises on our carriers (1 on America, and 3 on USS Eisenhower during 1977-84). GREAT, informative video. I just have one correction, though.
    On the catapult just before launch, we do not "shut down" the engines for the final maintenance checks people doing the QUICK last inspect of the aircraft in crawling around underneath it.
    If we did, we would have to start over in the condition we were way before getting close to the catapult. Crews would have to bring the 'huffer air' carts, and drag long electrical hose across the deck to hitch up to the jet in order to re-start the F-14 -- which has no internal start motors (APU's) or internal battery for electrical connections in Tomcat. There were only engine-run electrical generators which come on line after engine start in that awesome fighter.
    So, if we shut down after all the trouble to get to and hitch up to the catapult (for the final checkers to check over the jet on the outside just before launch), we would then have to get the equipment re-installed to start again (described above) and then go through all our post start checks, etc. again in taking up a huge amount of time.
    If we did that, it would be another 10-15 minutes to "restart" and go through all our post-start checks again as we did before even being broken down (i.e. taking the chains off holding the jet in it's original parking/starting spot before taxi to the catapult). Then, do we need another final check there hitched up to the catapult where we shut down engines again, repeating the process... then again... and again... (IOW, never launching? haha!!)😊.
    Anyway, those 'final checkers' on the flight deck around the catapult did all their checks of our jet engaged in the catapult WITH OUR ENGINES RUNNING!! This was true, and always has been true, for all launches off carriers in history. Once engines are started during pre-launch on your side parking spots, way before even getting to the catapult, the engines are never, ever, shut down again until after launch and recovered aboard and parked.
    After final maintenance checkers give the thumbs up, we are then put "into tension" by the catapult off the brakes, and signaled to go to full power for launch (holdback fitting on back side of nose wheel keeping the jet from moving). Even then, the last few catapult secure checkers scramble around under the jet in those final seconds (avoiding getting sucked into the engine's intakes!!) to make sure all is secure for the actual launch firing with our engine(s) at full power.
    Then, and only then, with a thumbs up from all final checkers, along with a salute from me as pilot, did the catapult officer press the launch button, and with sudden, added max steam pressure to the catapult piston, off we went on a great 2.5 second ride from zero to 160 mph and airborne off the front end of the carrier.
    I salute all those Navy personnel doing that DANGEROUS job under and around our jets during that MOST dangerous job in the world; working on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier... especially at night. BRAVO ZULU to you all!!

    I’m a 17 year Navy Veteran. This documentary has nailed what it’s like on ship, Carrier or not! I love how they save the best moments for last. But yeah, being up on the flight deck during flight ops is such an adrenaline rush. It takes so much out of you, all want is to go to the galley, hit the head for a shower, and go to sleep. And no matter what branch you have ever served in, thank you for having my 6!

    I got out of the Navy 40 years ago (1983). I was a Corpsman for 6 years. My sea time was spent partly overseas in the Philippines, and partly aboard a Destroyer (DDG-23 R.E. Byrd). Looking back it was the most rewarding, and signicant time in my life, and laid the framework for the man I became. My son followed me into the Navy, and looks apon his time with equal reverance. I highly recommend military service for everyone, and believe it should be mandatory following high school. Service rapidly matures a person at a time they need it most. Many great nations require this. Countries such as Sweden, Norway, Israel, and others require at least a two year service commitment. We should too.

      I’m from a Navy family. My 2 older brothers my son, a brother-in-law and I all served. My oldest brother was an STC on fast attacks and my brother-in-law was an STC on boomers. My brother brought home a friend and he met my sister, we grew 20 miles from Groton sub base. My other brother was an AO on P2Vs and P3s, he just did one enlistment as did I as an avionics tech on P3s. My son worked on catapults 1&2 on the CVN 73 for an enlistment. In 1973 I went to Spain, Sicily, Crete, Athens, Puerto Rico,Columbia, Panama, Peru, Argentina and Brazil. The South American trip was a Unitas where we worked with other countries Navies. We got a civilian clothing allowance and per diem. We stayed in nice hotels and ate In restaurants for 3 1/2 months. 20 years old and 10 days in Rio, what a life.

      I enjoyed the Navy for what it was. I enlisted in 1971 because I didn’t want to waste a year waiting to see if I got drafted. As it was my draft number was 20 and I would have been drafted about the time I finished Avionics A School. I never went to sea on a ship as I was in a Patrol Squadron. My son on the other hand worked Cat 1&2 on the 73 GW in the mid 90s. My oldest brother was a Chief Sonar Tech on Fast Attacks and my other brother was an AO in a Patrol Squadron.

      @@bazsnell3178 Food Operations whether in the service or on the civilian side is more than just being a cook or other role. It includes inventory management, managing the ovens, stoves and other cooking equipment, and food budget.
      I used to be a F&B Controller for a casino, which meant supervising the accounting for what nearly 3000 employees did, before I became a hospitality business systems instructor.. If this sergeant was part of food ops, his responsibilities could have been many, including similar to mine, without ever having been a cook or working his way up from the role.
      I worked my way up from serving at a wine and breakfast lounge then later becoming a rooms and F&B manager at a small hotel before moving my way up to a Controller position.
      I did not learn how to cook well until becoming a father, fifteen years later, all in a civilian role but raised by a military Dad who also cooked, but was a staff Sergeant during the end of WWII and in combat intelligence in the Korean war, then he entered the Navy as a civilian health physicist.
      I've been on the Enterprise and Long Beach while they were in active service in Vietnam and visited the kitchen, one of the most important places on board any military vessel and most praised by non kitchen staff.
      My Dad taught me, as one of my first hotel jobs was that of an auditor, to learn other trades if I wanted to succeed, so I volunteered to manage our computers, teach new staff, and learn about wine since I was raised in the Napa Valley, near the now closed Mare Island shipyard where my Dad and many of my grammar and high school friends parents worked.
      My Dad really helped me have a good career and as I neared retirement I taught my daughter the same thing about learning more than one trade, which she has applied while now working on her Masters and like me, she will teach some day.

    I went aboard the Nimitz while it was still in the Newport News dry dock and during the launch and commissioning by Gerald Ford. A lot of things have changed I see, we had very little of these conveniences back then. A lot of the stuff you see were on the hanger deck with a lot of room. We usually had the air wing on board and that deck was full.
    One of the things I like about this video is they actually show the enlisted living quarters. Most of these videos show a quick shot of the officer quarters and imply that's how everyone lives. We had 76 people living in a space about the size of a two car garage. Not complaining, we did it. But thanks for showing how it is.

We flew our weapons, equipment and ourselves on C-130 cargo planes from Naples to Rota, Spain where we would have liberty for a week in Spain while awaiting our ship to arrive. We boarded MSC (Mobile Sealift Command) vessels, civilian manned, Navy cargo vessels and mounted our crew served weapons on board wherever we could as these ships do not have weapons, and we protected the ship on its voyage from Spain, through the Straits of Gibraltar and into Souda Bay Greece. There another team relieved us, we enjoyed liberty in Greece for about 6 days, then flew back to Italy to await our next mission. I was part of several of these missions and received a commendation from the Captain of Command Task Force 68, Naval Special Task Force Europe, Captain Kiser. I did harbor security in Greece prior to my assignment to NSA Naples, Italy Security Forces. The Navy was an amazing experience and I am so proud to have served this amazing country!

    I served on USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71 from 1991 to 1995. I worked in S2, S10 supply. This document was good, did get some of the terminology wrong, and showed some footage that was not from a carrier, however, gave an amazing look on life on a carrier at sea.

    Served on the USS Saratoga 1986-1989 in 1 AMR. We climbed ladders 6-10 times a day as a commute to our station 30’ below the water line. I sure hope sailors have better boots now. The food was great and it was amazing to see different cultures throughout the Med and Indian Ocean. This video did a good job of showing the glamorous parts of carrier service and focused on air dales as usual. We surely didn’t have the nicely stocked snack store or catered food on the flight deck; we had a forward mess that served burgers / fries ect and a minimum bmi to stay under or it meant trouble. The chiefs mess always had it the best and was where I was TAD ( temporarily assigned duty). They were able to order direct from the grill. My advice is to go to sick call as required to get your health documented just in case you need to deal with the VA for disability compensation down the line. Go Navy

ABHAN (Aviation Boatswain Mate Handler/ V-3 Div), then Yellow Shirt Fly 2 P.O.(Petty Officer... ABH 2/ V-1 Div) and was blessed to be selected to receive a NROTC scholarship to become a Commissioned Officer( Midshipman/ U of Arizona) and Naval Aviator after college... As a Naval Aviator, it was a privilege to work with enlisted female and male sailors who know their job and duties and took it seriously like if they worked the stock market pit!! I am a proud sailor, Naval Officer, and Naval Aviator who has served this country, and the US Navy for 21 yrs(CDR/X.O. of a VFA squadron) Damn I do miss the flying my Legacy and Rhino Hornets, and the "bubbas" (squadron mates) whom I flown with..
