I checked out a bunch of Youtube videos that were titled
" Life On A Carrier "
or something close
they were all pretty much a waste of time , because none of them really show just the normal day to day life on a carrier
yea , they all showed cool flight deck operations , or people eating at the chow hall , but that was pretty much it , and they were pretty much all the same
life on a carrier can actually be pretty boring ,
when you are out to sea , you work 12 hours on , 12 hours off , seven days a week , which might sound a little scary , but it's not , I mean your on a ship in the middle of the ocean , what else are you going to do...................LOL
your berthing / living area is usually off limit while you are on your 12 hour shift , because the other half of your department are on their 12 hours off and many are sleeping
even though you are at work 12 hours , you'll have days where you don't hardly do anything at all except spend four hours in line for lunch........LOL
but.......... you'll also have times where you'll spend 3 or 4 days on the flight deck and hardly ever see your rack , it'll go from one extreme to the other
I read alot Star Trek books , Louis L'Amour books and we played ALOT of Dungeons and Dragons
I was wanting to find a good life on a carrier video because I was curious what life on a carrier is like now
I'm sure the actual operation of the carrier is the same
but alot has changed , for one thing , they have women on board , something I never saw
and now with satellite and wifi , I'm sure their entertainment has changed drastically
when I was in , all we had was a VCR and I'm pretty sure we watched Sylvester Stallone Cobra movie , I think it was on a continuous loop in our berthing for weeks on end
