 - Very Sad - Less Than 1 StarI got this DVD series and was extremely disappointed in it. If you like hearing people swear and use the F### word - this DVD is for you. The cinematography is wonderful. The carrier technology and the planes technology is fascinating - but the constant usage of very graphic language throughout - ruined it. I could only make it through the first couple of segments before returning it - which I promptly did. I would not recommend this to anyone. It's not a cuss word here and there - it's constant vulgarity and disrespect to authority. Maybe I am old fashioned but if you don't like being on a ship and can do nothing but swear about your superior officers when they're not around - don't join the Navy. The sub-title of this DVD is 1 ship 5,000 stories. More realistically it should be 1 ship 5,000 cuss words. Rating:  - Carrier Keeps it REALI have been in the Navy for 17 1/2 years. I have been on six deployments in that time. Two of those deployments on USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71). So when I say this is a acurate look at what a deployment is like...I think I am a person who knows what they are talking about. If you want a bunch of pompus officers sitting there spitting out the same talking points you can hear again and again then this isn't the documentary for you. However, if you want an honest uncensored look at what is like on a deployment then this is what you want to watch. You see the good and the bad. The Sailors drawing strength from each other as days turn into weeks and then months. You see how crap really does roll down hill as far as things not being the way they should be. Now, I have read that some who have said, "I can't believe these young Sailors and the way they are acting in this video." Well here is a honest look at those who are young, those who are in the middle and those who are older. Many of those younger folks in the military do as little as possible and get mad when they are told to do something right. You see it all here. The one sraw back of this video is that it spends too much of its time in Air Department. I really wish it had taken more time with other departments. This video is as real as it gets...and I hope everyone who has a family member serving on a carrier watches this! Rating: - This is a winner!A very interesting look at USN. It shows us how brave our service men and women actually are. You will not be disappointed! Rating: - Real American Heroes"Carrier" allows the rest of the world to see what the United States Navy and Marine Corp Soldiers do everyday, and their heroism to keep our country free. It obviously is not easy living on a ship for several months at a time, but it shows that our lives are easy compared to theirs. These men and women should be our heroes! I recommend his set of CD's to anyone interested in our military today and how they live. Rating: - Exactly what it's like on a carrier!I spent 20 years in the Navy and my last sea duty was a carrier and this DVD has captured all the things I remember about it, both bad and good. I think they did a great job on it and I wanted it to be able to show my girls some day what I did in the Navy, in my previous life, before having kids! I watched it all on PBS and liked it so much I decided to buy it myself.
