May 14, 2011 - Its a real eye opener seeing the USN like this, All the people saying about how they grew up in bad families and failed in school. In the RAN its basically the exact opposite

May 22, 2011 - You see the real thing, warts and all. Reminds me of my Navy days back 23-29 years ago. Of course, I was on a cruiser.

May 29, 2011 - The last half of this episode is excellently produced. Fantastic television. The inherent drama of landing on a pitching deck at night is so entertaining and the tension is palpable. It makes the officers eating popcorn and placing side bets all the more funny!

Jun 25, 2011 - Cheers from Sydney! I agree! You get the sense from US pop culture that there is a "Fighting Class". Young people involved in crime who basically get the choice between prison and the military. In Australia, The people I've known who went into the Air Force and Navy were brilliant at school, fit, square jawed clear eyed Aussies. Middle class and well educated men and women. I heard of the son of someone I work with who had a Graffiti charge and wanted to join the Army. Didn't have a chance.

Aug 29, 2011 - I love how all the guys back in the mess decks are watching the botched landings on TV and eating popcorn.

Jan 17, 2012 - I totally agree. I felt the tension. That's so amazing work what the pilots are doing.

Apr 1, 2012 - too bad they didn't let women serve on ships with men when i was in the navy, 1987-1991, would've probably been a lot more fun....

Apr 8, 2012 - I was on board in 94 when that plane hit the round deck on the USS KittyHawk.Scary scary stuff.I felt bad for the pilots that drifter back into the burning mess on the flightdeck.
navyservant Says:
Apr 8, 2012 - I don't mean to imply anything about those I don't know,but it IS a fact(like the redhead airman female at 56:00) that many of the women get favorable treatment and relaxed discipline which tends to give them the impression that they are special or above others,based on their gender.Her hair is out of regs,she is chewing gum.I just get the impression that merely because she is an attractive female,she most likely gets treated more like a civilian than a military member.This sets a bad precedent.
navyservant Says:
Apr 8, 2012 - I stand corrected.She is an officer,even worse.She should be setting a better example,but like so many female officers,they give the impression that regulations and proper military standards and conduct do not apply to them.Many male officers fraternize on a daily basis with them.I have personally witnessed this on several ships.
oldgadfly Says:
Apr 19, 2012 - Not exactly. That may be true for enlisted but not officers.
booe34 Says:
Apr 22, 2012 - they allow gum chewing in the Navy I suppose. I was in the Marine I would get an ass whoopin if I ever got caught with gum,
