    • Best documentary I've seen in years
I'm starting out by saying that even though I had some problems with this show, I'm giving it 5 stars. I'm actually giving it 6 stars, it's so good, and then subtracting 1. I've always been interested in the Navy. I come from a Navy town and several members of my family were either in the Navy or were civilians working building ships in the Navy Yard. I didn't really know what went on board an aircraft carrier until I saw this program. I found the stories of the regular crewman pretty interesting. They work 16-18 hours a day, then try to sleep in a tiny bunk separated from the corridor with a little curtain, all while planes are landing overhead every couple of minutes. And if you work on the flight deck in the Middle East, it's 130 degrees while you're wearing a long-sleeve turtleneck and a nylon vest. I didn't find the stories of the pilots to be as interesting and think too much time was spent on their frat-house antics. I think the Navy is to be commended for the frankness of this program. Even something shocking like the sexual assault prevention officer being suspected of rape wasn't whitewashed at all. Those interviewed gave their opinion, good and bad, of their mission. Even on the topic of 'don't ask, don't tell', I was surprised how near some sailors came to admitting being gay. And for those who complained about the swearing: they are SAILORS. Have you ever heard the expression 'swear like a sailor'? On the downside, there was too much time spent on one particular sailor whose pregnant girlfriend was obviously giving him the brushoff for the entire 10 episodes. I felt bad for the guy, but by the 3rd episode, I was yelling at the TV for him to get a clue. The other thing that got a little tiresome were the little 'music videos' interspersed. Most of the music was good, but they just went on too long and there were too many of them. ... show more

    • Carrier Keeps it REAL
I have been in the Navy for 17 1/2 years. I have been on six deployments in that time. Two of those deployments on USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71). So when I say this is a acurate look at what a deployment is like...I think I am a person who knows what they are talking about. If you want a bunch of pompus officers sitting there spitting out the same talking points you can hear again and again then this isn't the documentary for you. However, if you want an honest uncensored look at what is like on a deployment then this is what you want to watch. You see the good and the bad. The Sailors drawing strength from each other as days turn into weeks and then months. You see how crap really does roll down hill as far as things not being the way they should be. Now, I have read that some who have said, "I can't believe these young Sailors and the way they are acting in this video." Well here is a honest look at those who are young, those who are in the middle and those who are older. Many of those younger folks in the military do as little as possible and get mad when they are told to do something right. You see it all here. The one sraw back of this video is that it spends too much of its time in Air Department. I really wish it had taken more time with other departments. This video is as real as it gets...and I hope everyone who has a family member serving on a carrier watches this! ... show more

    • Changed but still the same
My wife's name may appear as the author of this review. I was on the maiden cruise for the Nimitz back in 1975, a NATO cruise to the North Atlantic following workups in the Caribbean. I was then on the first full Med cruise in 1976. Much has changed aboard the ship, and yet so much is still the same. The mess deck (chow hall) looks a lot nicer, the workout area far exceeds the dinky gym we had, there is no comparison to our little stores and what is there now, and of course no phone calls or email. And most notably, no women. But beyond that I felt like I could nearly recognize many of the sailors and marines portrayed in the show. The same kind of emotions, doubts, enthusiasm, and bonehead actions were there 30 years ago as are there now. The documentary did a wonderful job of showing what life on a carrier is like. And that seemed to be the point of the show. There are other documentaries, many of which get rather boring, that go through and talk about all the technical aspects of a carrier, but you get the feeling the people there are just a highly evolved ant taking care of the machine. This documentary showed the people and how it is a microcosm of America. Very rightly so we often referred to it as the small town of Nimitz, Virginia. I look forward to passing this DVD set on to my daughter and her family so they can see where I spent a year and change and understand a bit of what my life was like.

    • We pay for the boat, we should see the boat.
The film crew surpassed my expectation of a documentary. My dad is a retired aircraft carrier jet pilot. My beloved Godfather Bart, was tragically killed flying his jet in take off. As a kid, I use to go aboard anchored carriers for visits and dinners. "Carrier" represents the passion, glory, trenches, camaraderie, honors and disciplines of each person aboard. It follows each crew member in exclusive, unique jobs, who does them and why. Protocols, secrets, parties, missions, danger, hazards. Men and women working side-by-side in closed conditions with opposing politics. Women in high ranks. Races, religions and sexual orientations living tightly. If you know everything about the Navy, you'll love this. Flying on the ball? You'll see what that's all about. Never before has a documentary been made of this exacting detail. If you served in the Navy, you must see this. Your keen mind will never observe a repetitive scene. We pay for the boat, we should see the boat. Every sailor ends their duty with either of two things: maturity and knowledge of what they want or don't want to do with their life. You will watch this over and over again, and always have a new understanding of what it means to be an American, and the whole patriotic thing. ... show more
