I was aboard Nimitz between ‘82-’85. I was in VA-35, CAG-8.
I wonder if they continually play “The Final Countdown” like they seemed to do back in the ‘80’s. I got so sick of that!
Ol' home girl is full of CHT. Working in Pri-Fly isn't anything close to being, "Like a air traffic controller ". AC's do not work in Pri-Fly. She's doing essentially Admin duties up there. She, btw, struck for Yeoman, which may or may not get her out of Air Department.
V-2 Division, Waist Catapults.
You know I think you might have worked with a friend of mine that was assigned to the Nimitz. I believe he worked the waist cats up on deck hooking planes up to the shuttle.
What's his name?
You can send it via Private Reply if you'd like.
I have been watching the series, and I noticed the book, on the table written by Michael Savage, which the lone conservative sailor on the program had.
But, as usual this is a left-wing PBS program, with the typical, white man racist, white man rapist, and the poor down trodden, minorities and gays being kept down by the man.
What a joke today’s Navy is.
Just as one of the command people had said, that he didn’t want the ship to be like the love boat.
Well, from what I can see so far it is the love boat with all of the wacko lib cast of characters!
Our enemies see this and have to laugh at the social experiment called today’s Navy.
My condolences to Navy veterans.
I’v got to say though that they are showing inspiring stories of people that come from bad circumstances and join the Navy and accomplish something in their lives. I was somewhat disappointed in some of the officers attitudes towards the war in Iraq. Who knows, they could have edited out anyone who had something positive to say.
Yes, you are right.
At least the latest episode was not focused on racial or gender issues, but the producers made sure that they spotlighted the anti-war views of some crew members. It was wrong for the pilot to go on camera and voice his opinion of the Iraq War. It sets an example for the enlisted personnel and only benefits the Cindy Sheehan crowd and terrorists.
Ping! You see this?
I noticed the book, too.
Last night’s 2 episodes were probably the best so far.
Should've tried a backhoe.
