    • A decent PBS series
A great series still after 20 years.

    • A great telling of the life on an aircraft carrier (with smiles & frowns).
This video is an excellent view of what it is like to serve on an aircraft carrier of the U.S. Navy. It shows the plusses and the negatives as well (with fairness). I served on a carrier during the Vietnam War and found that there are still many things are the same and also,a lot of changes. Brings back many memories of the daily activities that keep a floating airbase working like a fine watch. Well Done!! ... show more

    • A great documentary, masterfully produced
The production of this documentary is as impressive as the people it portrays. The shot quality, the content, and the editing are all beyond first rate. The film is an excellent inside look into today's military, from the lowliest seaman recruit to a carrier task force commander. The subjects are human and engaging. The young people especially are so impressive. Those of us who are used to seeing 18 year-olds hanging out at the mall and texting and gossiping will appreciate what those kids could be if given the opportunity. The level of responsibility these people have is amazing. I can't say enough about this film. People who are not familiar with the military would do well to watch it, because it does an excellent job of showing what the military culture is all about. It's really inspiring, and not just in a rah-rah-rah patriotic way, but more in just a human way. It would be great if at some point the same production crew would do a similar film on the Army or Marine Corps. It would be great for the American people to see what their military is doing and to see the extraordinary work these people do. Two thumbs up. ... show more

    • Carrier Keeps it REAL
I 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! ... show more

    • CARRIER
Yes this is a day to day introduction of daily events on the sea jet Carrier, Nimitzs. It is quite lengthy and you have a good look at life on board the Carrier and how every one interacts. I thought it was sad that one young man was discharged due to he being racist toward an Negro American. It is sad that even to this day there are people who are racist in American because his Parents were. Does he not know he has a choice and need not carry this prejudice forward to another generation. When you consider how awful the Negroes were treated in history. Stolen from their home land to be slaves to the Southern States and their plantations. It I always interesting to see how they all co-operate. There is not privacy at all. I would hate it. I AM ON THE SECOND DISC AND HAVE NOT COMPLETED THIS BUT WHAT I HAVE SEEN I ENJOY. ... show more

    • Best documentary I've seen in years
I'm starting out by saying that even though I had some problems with this show, I'm giving it 5 stars. I'm actually giving it 6 stars, it's so good, and then subtracting 1. I've always been interested in the Navy. I come from a Navy town and several members of my family were either in the Navy or were civilians working building ships in the Navy Yard. I didn't really know what went on board an aircraft carrier until I saw this program. I found the stories of the regular crewman pretty interesting. They work 16-18 hours a day, then try to sleep in a tiny bunk separated from the corridor with a little curtain, all while planes are landing overhead every couple of minutes. And if you work on the flight deck in the Middle East, it's 130 degrees while you're wearing a long-sleeve turtleneck and a nylon vest. I didn't find the stories of the pilots to be as interesting and think too much time was spent on their frat-house antics. I think the Navy is to be commended for the frankness of this program. Even something shocking like the sexual assault prevention officer being suspected of rape wasn't whitewashed at all. Those interviewed gave their opinion, good and bad, of their mission. Even on the topic of 'don't ask, don't tell', I was surprised how near some sailors came to admitting being gay. And for those who complained about the swearing: they are SAILORS. Have you ever heard the expression 'swear like a sailor'? On the downside, there was too much time spent on one particular sailor whose pregnant girlfriend was obviously giving him the brushoff for the entire 10 episodes. I felt bad for the guy, but by the 3rd episode, I was yelling at the TV for him to get a clue. The other thing that got a little tiresome were the little 'music videos' interspersed. Most of the music was good, but they just went on too long and there were too many of them. ... show more

    • Interesting doesn't even begin to cover it
I added this to our Netflix streaming queue last weekend, and started watching. I thought I'd give it a chance but probably end up bored. Not the case at all! We have watched 8 episodes, and I'm bummed that there are only two more! This series is absolutely fascinating. The Navy is my "favorite" branch of the service - my Dad served on the USS Midway, and I was baptized on the ship. You could say I have a from-the-cradle loyalty to the Navy ;-) It's so intriguing to watch the inner workings of a deployment & life on an aircraft carrier. We are privy to the personal stories of select crew members, the ups and downs of life both at home and at sea for each of them. I got really involved in what was going on for some of these folks. I saw that someone mentioned they'd like a follow-up on the sailors - I would too. Just 10 episodes, but they get in-depth and it just draws you in. I think this is a magnificent documentary/"reality" series. I spent 600 minutes over the course of a week watching each episode, and don't regret a minute of the time spent. Whether you rent or buy, you won't either. We are giving the DVD to my Dad for Christmas this year. I hope he enjoys it as much as we did. ... show more
