"...It's basically a loud PA system." If you weren't at sea with a gale trying to drag you off a deck while aircraft roaring six inches from your head are just aching to incinerate you and tear you into pieces, that PA system would dissolve your bones in a puddle of ooze. If your high school principle had used that PA to announce the lunch menu, you would have been crushed in the rubble.

Boring

This book is awesome!!2022

Where's the rest of the video?

the sound is not good I am quite disappointed

I had a trap in a COD on TR back a few years ago; nice hosts. (I have a lot more cats and traps when I was an AW on Carl Vinson.)

They don't have radar?

I remember the air boss was somebody you never wanted to get on the wrong side of.

This old Army guy loves these carrier videos.If I had known 50 years ago what I know now I would have gone Navy. I'm curious as to what rank the "Air Boss" and the "Mini Boss" might be...O-3....O-4....O-5? Are they pilots as well as "air traffic controllers"?

@3:32.. That sound from the MDE's will always be stuck in my head. Every time you transited to the flight deck, you heard it. Resolute - TCIC 97-98

If I only heard him talking I would think it is Matthew McConaughey

What is the little model ship they use to keep track of the planes on deck

listerone: I was going to ask about their ranks, but you beat me to it. In the Navy from 1962-66, but never saw a ship. I love all the explanations about carriers, and their crews. All the numbers are mind boggling. Thank you to all who serve, every branch, past and present. Must include civilians, etc.

ATO wears white, too. No love. :) ATO, USS Kitty Hawk 1998-2000.

My son is on this ship now ⚓ Juliet 198 ⚓

Not sure why you cut it short at the the start of his next topic…

Nice story about the Venturous but the first of the video shot, thats the Resolute. tied up in St Pete, south peir. Was the TCIC in 97-99. Our slogan back then was "Roach Coach" and "No party too large, no party too small". We seemed to get picked to "host" parties a lot. Mex, NOLA and even Jamaica's chili cook-off in 98. Had a great radio gang. @3:00.. 50 People? Only 50? Took me back to when we brought 300 onboard and put the other 50 on the Gentian who followed us all the way to PAP, offloaded and we all headed back to Ste Pete and Gentian back to Miami. I still have a copy of the message in my service jacket. Boat stunk like some ones underarm for a week, even after a full bleach washdown.

LOVE this.

Feels like a great cruise! Y'all cross over the line?

There is always something to do on a Coast Guard Cutter.

There's this thing on a camera called an iris. It's used to control exposure of the subject being recorded. It is your friend...

I wish we had a carrier like this in Australia.

Just came across this book by total accident. The title is perfect. Reading the Kindle version as I write this and really excited what I have read so far. Definitely worth checking out. Check your Library for a copy! Thanks for this short KZbin video.

hue :3

Thank you. google: Judi Grace StoryCorps.

great video Scott! fantastic tips too

That was my ship. Gunners Mate 1979 - 1982. Home port at that time was Terminal Island, San Pedro. If anyone has seen, or remembers my artwork in the Armory, drop me a line. SEMPER PURATUS !

One of the most amazing people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Joe Clarkson is an amazing leader and human being.

Thank you Scott. Lovely. Hope to see you soon. Best, B

The biggest PIECE OF SHIT to ever command an Aircraft Carrier!! I'm glad he never received his Star.....

Oscar has seen better days.

Believe it or not there was far more people on the bridge during sea detail in the early 1990's.

Interesting, I was on a 210 for 3yrs and never saw compartment 4-32-0-A. Unless your gym is in the bilge.

Yep, the Rootie-toot moored right were I left it, in 1998. Retired off that boat aka, "party boat", "Roach coach". Our ships crest that was on our shirts use to have flags that said "No Bar Too Far". Now, that could mean the type of bar you drink at or the one that would end your career if you ran over it. X-TCIC sends.

Hes on board the Venturous looking at the Resolute as they go by

Excellent Book Review and Great read so far... My Dad was in Engineering all through the space program till 1976 at McDonnell Douglas Chief Flight Control Systems Still have his old wood slide rule pre-computer Amazing times!

.....WMEC 620= CGC Resolute not Venturous which is 625. Attention to detail

I see this boat everyday from my daughter's room at ACH.interesting history

Boatswains Mate

question...im being recruited in the USCG duhh hehe...what i wanna do in the coast guard is be onboard on of the cutters like all my carrier if its possible..the question is..what MOS should i choose in order to serve onboard of one of the cutters?!!

I miss that hanger bay!!!

Is that OBrian I just saw in the video?

Captain Meier awesome XO. Put the sparkle on the shine.

CDR Caddy!

This is funny. I remember when you guys got off the COD aircraft. I was at the top of the tower giving you guys towels lol

I know that is the back of my FS son's head at 24-27 seconds. Tk you for posting this, Mr. Eblin. I just got 3 seconds of my son. You have no idea what it means me.

Good!

@MrJustdaman11 He was just a certified "Cutter Swimmer" When I was on that boat they had roughly 3 to 5 that were always qualified for the job. The guy in the water is an E3 that was interested in going AST so what better way than to qualify as a swimmer..
