I remember the things with my family that I missed while in. You come home after 8-9 months and everything has changed. Thank you for your service a lot of Americans know what you are going through. 👍
for me, happiness is when you want to go home from service and deployment, and go back to work from home. then it is clear that you have chosen the best profession in the world. this profession is a sailor!
God I love these kids. They are what America is all about. Thank you all for what you do. You guys are what makes this country great. God bless you and your loved ones who share your sacrifice. Godspeed!
This is a great series, very well done both from the photographic and storyline standpoints. Kudos to the photo officer (I'm a former PH) on the Nimitz for authorizing this and to the guys under him who made it happen.
The shy sailor with the glasses is gorgeous in uniform. No need to be shy. The navy suits you young woman, be proud, hold your head high and look people in the eye because you’re earning it everyday
8:52 Ana Gallo went on to get a master's degree in education and is now a teacher at a private school. She is an excellent example of setting goals and reaching them.
I was in Norfolk in 1976 when she came back from her maiden shakedown voyage to the Medeteranean. She's an awesome ship.. and its F14 Tomcats helped us out once long ago (78/79) when Libyian Migs kept intercepting our P3 flights out of Sigonella. I feel like I owe that great lady for saving our butts.
I grew up in Bremerton; my dad was an electrical engineer who worked for the Navy. Thanks so much for this series of videos. It is a great inside look of what goes on in my childhood "backyard."
My brother was a boatswain. He spent over twenty years in the Navy. I was a brown shoe, but stayed in for only one tour. If they had promised me a spot on a carrier like the Nimitz, I might have considered signing up for four more years.
I spent over 20 years on ships and carriers .for me it was a great way to get away from alcoholic parents I know if I didn't do something that I would probably ended up that way with nothing to show for .I was able to retire with 35 years . and I was able to save up enough over the years to open my own m-c shop where I build custom bikes .I don't do many every year but the ones I do are first class and what the customer wants .. GO NAVY
Those people have so much to do and they must be glad to get away for 6 months at sea just to concentrate on their job then rest. Their families must miss them so much and wish their spouses was there at the base with the families and is glad to see them return.
Tell you a funny story about those pad eyes , when in port when it’s was the ratings in my father’s department turn to muck them out the petty officers would bring their kids on boards to visit and tour and we would find ourselves up on the deck while they were up there and we thought what they were doing was so cool we would beg to let us do it. So there would be a small army of kids running around with buckets and swabs helping the ratings with their work
I know the crew of the Ship need to be employed whilst the maintenance is carried out, but to have them doing things like re-tiling is that something they are qualified to do?
There are thousands of them on the both the flight deck and the hanger levels. Any drain system would compromise existing systems and it’s not like they had to drain them all the time, while out to sea or in most ports they tend to flush out and dry out pretty consistently, but in the heavy rainy Pacific Northwest while in dry dock the thinks tend to pool up and the water go stagnant with contaminated water, that’s a recipe for corrosion
These girls are so sweet and I wish them all the best. At the same time, I'm also aware that the navy would be so much stronger with all men, well trained, fast, level headed, accurate, coordinated, bonded and focused. In a boarding situation, or even possible incidents on land, they would be able to put up a tremendous resistance. This volountair work seems good for their souls.

Seeing Longmire with his family and bonding with his son made me legitimately smile.
Mr. Laquentin Longmire is a fantastic father! What a great role model he will be for his young boy!

Pad eye. You can cover them like a roof on a house. Except this house is a quater mile long.
Who's the woman with the black and white coat that wants to be a vet tech?! She's a beautiful woman!! dang!
"Daddy got you a bike" mommy is going to make you pay for that one later.......
lol Katherine Osborne "...we live together, work together...they're like family. But they still think I'm weird."

Brave Heart Soldiers,I love all.

Unsupervised probably not, but they most likely have a qualified civilian contractor acting as advisors and supervisor
USS Nimitz! Japan!
Anyone else tear up watching Longmire loving on his boy???
why aren't there drains in the pad eyes?

Follow up on my comment, you have to consider the environment. Any seawater drain is also a conduit for flammable liquids
Dry dock was easy. Go do work up crews for a couple months on another ship come back...work hard, party harder. V-2 Air babyyy
