I was on YouTube and came across this new PBS documentary series about what life is like on a nuclear aircraft carrier (USS Nimitz). Watching this brought back a lot of memories. It's funny, at the time I was in I couldn't wait to get out of the navy, but it has a strange way of getting into your blood. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I'm third generation to serve in the navy. My time in service has definitely molded me into the person I am today. There were a ton of good times and some bad, but in the end I wouldn't trade that time for anything in the world. Here is the video clip that got me reminiscing, hope you like it as much as I do.
Going off of what the officer said in the video is that team work is vital. If you are working as part of an aircraft carrier or part of any other team, if there is a breakdown in one area it will have consequences (a ripple effect) that can lead to failure.
Even though I served on the USS Abraham Lincoln, the two ships are nearly the same. Check out the link to the PBS page to get more information and don't forget to check out the documentary airing later on from April 27 to May 1, 2008.
