HE WAS AMAZED OF THE CHANGES AND REALLY ENJOYED THE DVD Rating: - Very GoodI really enjoyed this series. It was very realistic and true and had heart. It tells the story of people in the Navy and Marines aboard an aircraft carrier on deployment for 6 months. It also interviews both enlisted people and officers as to why they joined the military, where they are from, and also how they feel about their jobs. They cover what it's like to be away from their family and friends. It shows the day to day life and people at their jobs and what it takes to make the carrier work. ...

It might be a little over-dramatic but it's all good. Show the other squadrons on a carrier next time ! It's not just jets on a carrier. All in all, a solid and well-made documentary that breaks the mold of military documentaries Rating: - CARRIERfASINATING LOOK AT THE LIFE OF SAILORS AT SEA. I APPRECIATE MORE OF WHAT THE MILITARY (NAVY) SACRIFICE IN DEFENSE OF OUR COUNTRY. THANK YOU MEN AND WOMEN OF THE MILITARY. PHIL TACOMA, WA |
