My thoughts too, couldn't stand to watch it. I think back to what we went thru in WWII and doubt these whiny 19 YO girls have the stuff it would take to pull off a full blown battle. I hope I am wrong about that, but the whole show looks like High School at Sea, valley girls and all.

I watched two hours of it last night.. there was allot of emphasis on “what are we doing here?”, “Wish we could drop some bombs”, type stuff.

The other things, showing a young enlisted mans anguish over his pregnant girlfriend not emailing him.. was not bad.. because it was happening.. but it was over done.

Another annoying thing last night was the highlight of the pilot who was getting out and trying to get off the carrier to go home..

But all in all.. it was a good watch on PBS for once...

“High School Musical at Sea” LOL, valley girls, indeed!

It’s cliche’, but kids are different these days, I guess. My dad was Navy and one thing I learned early on was that once you sign your name on the dotted line you become property of the US government. The sooner you accept that your life is no longer your own, the easier it will be. These ladies haven’t figured that out yet. Don’t they tell them this when they sign up??!

I had to chuckle about the one girl who was whining that an officer got to see the doctor before her, and he arrived after she did. T/S, that’s the peckin’ order, hon. Deal with it. Crap like that happens in the civilian world too.
I would hope that the whining is just from boredom and if the sh*t really hit they fan, training would kick in.

Oh here we go again. The only greatest generation is the one that served during WWII bullsh*t.
