Carrier Get Home Itis

Clapp's ex is a punk for not letting her kids go on tiger cruise....glad the judge sided with her!

[@manifestgtr]

Plane shooter is such a good dad… That young kid with the pregnant “girlfriend” is hilarious, too. There’s something about being in your early twenties…for whatever reason, you’re completely blind to when you’re being played. It’s obvious to the cameraman, the entire audience, the fish swimming underneath the boat…but he’s just completely oblivious to every glaring red flag.

"the fish swimming under the boat!" I don't know what your plans were after military service, but how about comedian!!!

I told my son who was thinking about the military,what ever you do,don’t complicate things with a relationship or trying to have a family. It just doesn’t make sense to put yourself through that.

[@mcoleman6893]

Serving at sea, to a land lubber like me, blows my mind. It's not the danger, the constant vigilance, the hours, the work, or even the food. It is those cramped quarters, the micro-bunks, and, especially, the extreme lack of privacy. I sense that there is not even room for a private thought. My heart goes out to the men and women who serve at sea. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

[@mofo7689]

this was addressed returning from the Gulf War in the 1990s. Many divorces happened because the "men" could not handle discovering the wives actually had a better handle on family matters. The kids were used to the "mom" having all the answers. All the husbands could do was help out.

I'm glad Ensign Susan Clapp got to see her kids! I hope things got easier for her. She sure is attractive, and seemed to have a great personality.

[@tidefanyankee2428]

Her ex sounds like he's mad about something. Him finding someone new wouldn't account for him being so negative towards her. Did the Ensign do some partying of her own when she was deployed? Military women get lonely.....and horny too.

[@tidefanyankee2428]

One more thing. The ex saying "no" just because he can, is what a LOT of male service members/non-service guys have experienced when dealing with ex's over kids. I'm not saying it was right of him, but what I AM saying is that is not a new or unique experience for men.

[@bennybenitez2461]

Oh how cute! Phones and laptops ha😂. All we had was COD on the Ball with mail. VF-32 / CV-62 1982-1985 Baby.

[@mofo7689]

also back then, email was a growing concept. sailors were telling family exactly where they were located. Nobody thought about OpSec and how the other guys were listening to traffic and collecting where the boats where the boats were and how many existed. ***This is exactly why there is now a media blackout the instant an gunfight happens. Nobody can learn, particular phrases; they just missed particular equipment, a few injuries but no deaths, etc. This is also why rotation dates must not be known so bad guys can't hit locations while duty familiarity and abilities are low. 1983 - 2013

I Hear you... NO WAY I could have left my baby boy to go on cruise. I waited until I was on shore duty to become a father. Was single during my earlier deployments. I did lose my mother while in the Persian Gulf, sucked but that comes with the commitment. A little emerg leave but then back to cruise. No regrets. Wish I could do it all over again. FLY NAVY!!!

Amazing, looks like a hotel. I remember the days when deployment was like being on the moon without any contact with family. Sleeping on canvas for a bunk, no movies, no soda, no ice cream, no sleep, no anything, just work. Being on a carrier has it's perks. I admire those on WW2 Destroyers where walking a straight line was impossible, And I really admire those iron men and wooden ships of old. Really an overview of todays generation and it makes me fearful for my great grandchildren.

[@lindapowell117]

As a sailor (Airdale) who served on an aircraft carrier (carrier air group) for two cruises during war time in Vietnam. I dont know what it is like to serve during peacetime. So, as a very young man we worked 12 hours a day 7 days a week. Flight ops were either day ops or night ops. No phone service, no email, no messaging. I never heard an sailor say how much they missed home. Of course we missed home, but we had a mission. Being on a ship furing war time I think is quite a bit different than peace time. Because you are so damn busy. Never heard any whining. My deployment was in the late 60’s I remember be very busy. Was attached to an F4 fighter squadron. Back to back deployments. Would not change it for anything. Hang in there. Go Navy!

[@42Mushu]

Hi Linda. Just finished a tour on a carrier. It’s still the same. Probably a bit more whining though, only from the rates who don’t work hard though.

[@seanjones3551]

Thank you for your service shipmate. The '09/'10 wespac on CVN 68 was not "peacetime." We lost five personnel during a helo accident. Our CAG lost a guy during wespac. He was electrocuted on a small boy. It definitely was wartime in 5th fleet. Much respect to you shipmate🇺🇲

[@seanjones3551]

@ Linda Powell much respect shipmate. What was your rate/rank? I did two tours; oif/oef...both were wespac to 5th fleet. Yeah, I deployed with CAG 11 and CAG 1. AND why is your name "Linda," and you say..."so, as a young man..." I promise, don't cap on the Navy.

[@seanjones3551]

@Linda Powell what was the name of your F4 command? I did one year VRC on the west coast. What is the call sign for F4? Why is your name "Linda", but you say "as a very young man..."? ...and wtf is "airdale?" What rate is an airdale??

[@lindapowell117]

Sean Jim Powell here. VF-154 is a fighter squadron. Call sign in knight. The squadron was the Black Knights. If you were in aviation in the Navy you are known as Airdales.

[@unitedwestand5100]

LMAO I'm proud of the Navy, and I honor these sailors service. I want to make a Comparison to the Army Infantry though; 3 years in a foreign country. Over 200 days a year in the field. 90 days in the field at a time, with no showers, and sleeping in the dirt, no heat or AC, , very few, if any, hot meals, and no port calls in exotic countries. (My longest FX was 97 days. Shortest time between FXs, 5 days.) Divorce rate for married couples, even when they're in country, was 77%. Counting down the days until you can finally return to the world/USA. Can you relate? LMAO I spent a year in S Korea (1979) where it was too dangerous for the Army to authorize dependents in country at all. (Unless the soldier paid for everything including off base housing.)

[@jhare18]

Very Human, a Beautiful Presentation.

[@CaptainFantastik1]

Great piece. Being a part of the military machine is very hard with regard to how difficult it is being away from family and normal life. You don't have to die in combat or be in harm's way to pay a heavy price for your service. And this is the price.And you can't refuse to go on deployment or just say "you know what? This job isn't for me. I quit" . You have to go. And it can be absolutely heartbreaking. That guy trying to call home and have a conversation with his kid who's just giving "yes sir" answers to his questions.......and the kid not really being invested or warm in the phone call in general. That's brutal as a parent stuck on a ship far from home with 4 months left on a cruise. Or the guy or gal on the ship wondering what their spouse is doing back home, or worrying about what they might be doing. It's almost impossible to maintain an emotional connection over the phone for months at a time, especially for a newer couple that doesn't have the foundation of years together behind it help with regard to trust. That's why all these people deserve kudos, not just the soldiers on the battlefield.

[@steveowens913]

Oh, we had 2 or 3 guys who somehow made the really, really, boneheaded decision to NOT show up for our lovely "carrier castaway " 7 month "pleasure cruise!" I will admit, it wasn't easy to show up for the event, but those guys were soon captured, and treated "not so very nicely!"

[@josenavas9968]

My only thoughts??? After 7 years, what became of these people people?? Hope all did turn out well for them all. 😎

[@TSemasFl]

Some did well for themselves afterwards, some did not, and some were forced out. Capt. had to resign over Fat Leonard case, Commander Fraver you can catch on youtube from time to time, Lt. Dietrich still on the Navy, a commander now. Jello runs, Fighter Pilot podcast on KZbin. It's interesting to see some of these people are doing just fine. It would be cool if they remade this series to see what's everyone is up to years later. Funny how they never mentioned in this series about the Tic Tac UFO's they encountered during this voyage.
