This is such a great documentary about the NAVY fleet. I was on the Nimitz during this time, I recognize a lot of people from this show. I feel everybody who is just getting out of NAVY bootcamp should watch this doc. It's very accurate!

Nice to see the senior enlisted moving among/interacting with junior enlisted!

Brings back a lot memories!!!!! Arrived on the Nimitz in 1984 Newport News shipyard. Wasn't nervous because my brother was already onboard for a year.

I couldnt imagine spending 6 months to a year on a ship. I was on a cruise for a week and damn near wanted to beg to get off. Plus I dont know how a ship like this couldn't be overwhelmed like the hornet and franklin. And damn near the enterprise.

When my ship went into dry dock, I was detached and sent to the signal tower in Long Beach Ca for the duration of repairs.

I've always found it really weird/funny how everyone in the US navy and air force were so casual with one another when it comes to senior enlisted and officers. I spent 12 yrs in the US army (2000-2012) and I don't think I ever meet a sergeant major (same as master chief in the navy) being that nice lol. In the army if you are a private, specialist or even a Sgt you avoided senior NCO's like the plague lol. Also you better not let them see you not working because the next thing you know your team leader (E-5/Sgt) or squad leader (E-6/SSG) will be chewing your ass off wanting to know why you didn't get the hell out of sight or look busy when the SGM came around! I remember my days as a Sgt and SSG before I became a SFC, I would always tell my guess if they didn't have anything to do that they better either look busy or get the hell out sight!!! But anyone that has been in the army knows this lol.
