Carrier Life
Hey, in case you haven't had enough stories about life aboard an aircraft carrier (or maybe there's the outside chance that my story made you interested in more), check out the PBS mini-series "Carrier." The film crew went aboard the USS Nimitz for a while and documented the sailors' lives, warts and all. I've heard both good and bad reviews, but I will say that, according to some e-mails circulated at work, the Navy was interested in more than just a 10-hour recruitment video. Much like my visit to the Reagan, the Navy wants people to know the kinds of lives these people lead, their thoughts and hopes and fears and doubts, all in the name of protecting us. Pretty heavy stuff. Check it out; our DVR is set so I can watch when my semester is finally over.

I like it so far, but I could stand for more technical details instead of the music video type stuff. They are focusing more on the enlisted saliors rather than the officers which makes a good point - most of the jobs in the Navy aren't glamorous at all, but it's the lower-level people that are the backbone of any organization.
