CAG-3 Gives Deep Intel on Fighting the Houthis in the Red Sea

[@darrylwalker1867]

Imagine if this was a commercial channel. It would be twice as long, with a quarter of the information, delivered by twice as much talking. Seems simple, find the right interviewer (well qualified, interested, courteous), ask the right people the right questions, and….listen to their answer. Another great interview, another great interviewee. This channel rarely misses, this one was another direct hit. Well done Ward, another must see!

[@drfranks1158]

If you know people who consume broadcast television, try to get them interested in stuff like this on YT. Information is better than the lies and spin you get on TV, that stuff is poison for human brains.

[@amirsadeghi9888]

yes he is, he separates each and every point and detail and allows the interviewee to explain it and even helps them with some areas that need fleshing out.. and also he puts pictures or subtitles for weapons systems and the abbreviations. He is good.

Thank you Captain Scott and Commander Carrol for your service to our nation. I was an Airdale a couple of centuries ago. I was an ATN-2 in VA-127 out of NAS Lemoore.

[@Benjammmin3]

CAG was my XO/CO at 83 for the last Legacy deployment for the squadron on the 15/16 OIR deployment aboard the Truman, great officer, even better mentor/ all around person even to a young Airframer such as myself, I remember well sitting alert 15/30’s and he’d chat with us shooters, such a vast wealth of knowledge and experience. BZ CAG and to all those who deploy/deployed. RAM ON!

[@pilotblue6535]

Thank you for the split screen. It makes the background interference interesting rather than irritating. It made me feel I was there. I would be looking up. You answered my curiosity “what was that?” Love it!

[@2fishes-q5h]

Ward, not only do you know WTF you're talking about, but man oh man, you sure know how to control your interviews so us ground-huggers can follow along! During the birth of "affirmative action" and Vietnam was winding down, I miraculously placed top ten in my entry exams for the Airforce academy. My older friends returning from same theater literally beat-me-down for entertaining the thought. Long story short, I never realized a boyhood dream. 71yrs old now, I long vicariously thru your stories... in awe of my fellow American warriors... and an honor to live under the safety net provided by our military services. Thnx4 your service gentleman...

[@kaiwolter202]

Hey Ward, it was great meeting you at Oceana. And I was surprised to see my VFA-83 picture on your video. Usually the people just used my images without asking and cut the Copyright out of the image. This time the Copyright was still present in your video. Thanks for that and thanks for the respect. If you need more images, let me know. It’s always great watching your videos. Kind regards, Kai Wolter (Combat Edge Productions).

[@WardCarroll]

Great to meet you, Eddie!

[@NPNGxD3ATH]

Thanks Ward, my great grand parents, my grandfathers, my parents, uncles, and now my cousin have served in the Navy/other branches. This video makes me proud of their service and thankful for every acting and veteran service member. Love an airshow, seeing the different planes/jets and hearing the great stories is just perfect.

[@cragnamorra]

Mooch, these interviews with the SG commander, IKE CO, and CAG have been fantastic. Given the nature of what IKESG was faced with during this deployment, I hope you are able to line up similar interviews with the two Surface Warfare Officer (SWO) warfare commanders (Sea Combat Commander (SCC) and Area Air Defense Commander (AADC)) as well. The perspective from the commodore's destroyers and the cruiser CO as AADC are obviously relevant.

[@herrfriskytten7994]

Professional interviewer, professional interview subject

[@ianchase8758]

I remember CAG Scott when I was in VF / VFA-103. We were both with 103 with the Tomcats then eventually with the F-18 F Super Hornet. That JFK deployment was a blast. I was the Power Plants LPO for that Tomcat deployment, then the Power Plants Chief for the first F-18 F deployment onboard Ike. I really miss those days.

[@brettpearce687]

Very professional. No one on this planet should ever underestimate the strike power of the USA. God bless the beautiful people of the USA !

[@CelataForCongress]

Ever since I was a child I wanted to join the NAVY and fly fighters but unfortunately all throughout my life different people would tell me I'm either too short (I'm not 5'6"....) or that because I wore glasses I couldn't fly. I thought this through my entire years as a young adult and I'm disappointment at those who I saw as role models in my younger years for not supporting my dreams. I say this because if this channel was around when I was a kid in the 90's things would be very different and who knows maybe I'd be someone being interviewed. I thank you so much Mooch for creating this channel and being the role model that I didn't have for a whole new generation of aviators. Keep kicking ass! And don't forget about the kids thinking about joining up to fly!

[@Towbie442]

I loved doing work ups when I was a Gladiator in Cecil Field. Saratoga, Kennedy, Forrestal, America, Eisenhower and Finally the Roosevelt. Miss those days. Thank you Ward for sharing our history.

[@patgiblinsongs5]

Great interview, I came up from Jacksonville to Oceana to see the air show and your show. It was nice to meet you and Hoosier. Great show. Hope to hear an episode on WW II nose art from the 8th Army Air Corps in the future. It was a sign of great pride for the crews of those B17’s . Thanks

Great Interview! These are top notch people, the best America has to offer. It is amazing how quickly these people move up through the ranks. So much to learn, so little time, so many contingencies. I don't know how they do it. Their learning abilities and confidence have to be off the charts. God Bless the men and women of the US Navy!

[@Asspiss100]

Very smart and motivated individuals. Being in a military setting, you don't have all the distractions and bs that civilian life comes with. A lot more discipline, and much harsher penalties for failure or fuckups. I'm not a vet, but if I sometimes wish I was just so I could have seen how far I could actually push myself. Most civilians don't think like that, settle for less, and make these remarkable people look even better. Thanks for reading my rant, gobbless

[@tommaxwell429]

@@Asspiss100 I served in the US Navy. Believe me, there are lots of BS distractions in every aspect of the military. But I get your point. They are highly focused on what they do. While they are learning their skills they are being paid and generally provided a comfortable life. Unlike civilians who are tasked with paying for everything while trying to learn a skill or trade.

[@davidmortimer2594]

Excellent interview! Even given the UNCLAS limitations, very informative as all your interviews are. You are an excellent interviewer, you also benefit from the fact that your interviewees are well informed, well spoken Naval Officers. To pickup on CAG Scott’s assertion that ships (CVN’s) can go anywhere Command Authority directs. He does say that his aircraft and the Group’s escort ships need POL. As of this morning (09/24/24) the Middle East sole US Navy Oiler, USNS Big Horn, is OOC due to a possible grounding. Hopefully she can be repaired and returned to her support duties. Presently, closest replacement oilers are in the Med, with a second oiler off of Singapore.
