Carrier - A 10 episode PBS Series

[The Chief]

Enjoyed the first two episodes. Nice photography, and I like how they're focusing on the crew ....

Roger that! But " .... I have never seen a Chief smile ....???

Why I smile all the time, except when I am smirking.

Just caught the first episode. It's pretty surreal to turn on the tv and see the last pilot you flew with.

I liked Carrier: Fortress at sea MUCH better

Agreed, but this seemed to have a bit more of a candid attitude. Were there any other aircraft besides Hornets present on the Nimitz during that cruise? I would have loved to see some good Prowler footage.....

We were supposed to smile???? Dang! Now you tell me...

I'm smilin' now, though.

I wanted to slap that 3rd class that was bitching in the galley...

Supposedly it's coming. The website has a bunch of clips that they took out, some of them have a few prowlers, and they talk about the power of the intakes. I'm hoping that some of the future episodes that focus on the aviation side talk about all of the aircraft.

My personal favorite lines: "I guess I could've joined the Air Force? Yeah, but then you'd be married to a dude!"

Followed closely by: "If it wasn't for Top Gun you'd be married to a troll."

In a time of PC, we've got it on record....and video...the Navy/Marine Corps universal view on our brothers in blue.

That's cool. At least I don't have to wear a nametag on my butt for those.... "akward moments"....

"It's not gay if you're underway"

"It's not gay if you're underway"

"It is gay if you're Air Force."

...IAW the whole "Navy tells you what you can't do, Air Force tells you what you can."

 

[Xtndr50boom]

"It is gay if you're Air Force."

...IAW the whole "Navy tells you what you can't do, Air Force tells you what you can."

Pfft. AF deploys, we don't "get underway". F-15C drivers notwithstanding, not much reason to be gay in the AF.

Besides, what would you rather have?

V -- A little something so the O's will stop stealing our women

Mmm hmmm...Mmm hmmm...USAF cheerleading squad...I like.

Or this?

... I rest my case

Great now I have to go wash my eyes out. ^^^^^^ Is that what AF types do on liberty?

BTW: +1 for top pics and -1 for bottom pics = +0 (you averaged out!)

Unfortunately, yes. That was a more "candid" shot of the latest 15C driver to add to their sterling, read: gay, reputation.

Here's another shot of him, sans sailor hat

 

[Mumbles]

Wow....is pic #3 for real, Xtndr??

Yes, the Air Force has hot women - that's because no one in the Air Force can get laid by telling a civilian they are in the Air Force.

...and you need constant visual reinforcement to keep from going gay under the pressure of those fabulous blue uniforms.

 

[Xtndr50boom]

Wow....is pic #3 for real, Xtndr??

Yes, it surely is. Taken at Al Udeid sometime in 04 or 05. Scuttlebutt says she's in the Colorado ANG. Should be in the Guard recruiting pamphlets if you ask me.

:tongue2_1

I would like to say, as a woman who currently works for the Navy but is joining the AF, this entire thread has gone hilarious.

I would also like to mention that i'm on a similar blog/forum for AF OTS, etc. And they have nothing but, positive things to say about naval aviators and the navy in general on their thread about the Carrier series.

Additionally, I am not so big a fan of the AF blues myself. However, I count Navy White Season as my favorite time of year.
