Carrier (DVD, 2008, 3-Disc Set)

If you have ever wondered what life is like for guys in the navy aboard a ship or carrier this a dvd set you need to watch. The series goes in depth and gets you right into the lives of the guys from the cooks to the pilots and everyone in between. Throughout the movie you will encounter the navy guys ups and downs in life whether it be problems he or she is having on the ship or a problem back at home which they have to deal with being thousands of miles away at sea. I watched this series first on netflix and liked it so much I bought it after watching it since nothing I have seen in the past gives you such an in your face in depth experience of what it is truly like.

I watched this series with my husband om PBS when it aired. We enjoyed it very much. It documented the crew on the U.S.S. Nimitz during a deployment. It documents certain individules in there struggles on this paticular deployment on the ship and with family back home. Recommend to those who want to experience life on an air craft carrier. Wish they had more to this series.

I bought this DVD for my son and his father to view Navy life. My son joined the Navy in 2007.The DVD shows the true life on an aircraft carrier. My son told me that he wished he had seen this DVD before joining the Navy just to know what Navy life would be for him. I disliked that the language was very explicit. I wanted my family to watch this film but was uncomfortable for them to view it due to the language. I really was hooked on the drama of the people involved in the series. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this film. PBS films are know for their factual information and film quality.

I was amazed at the life abroad a US Navy carrier. Really enjoyed the parts about the actual pilots and the flight crews. Not only was it amazing, but the visuals were outstanding--makes you wish that you were younger and much more talented. This documentary was eye opening and a must for teenagers. I have personally watched it 3 times and bought this copy for one of my granddaughters 15th birthday --she is interested in being a Navy or Marine pilot.

Great video about USS Nimitz and their life on board. It is interesting to learn about the operation of the combat and routine procedures. Nice copy and well worth for documentary liberay.
