Navy Flight Deck Operations 

This brings a tear to my eyes. I was never on a CVN but was attached to an LHD - the USS Wasp Amphib Assault Ship. I was a Marine Harrier Maintenance Sqdn Electrician/Technician. When I had Flight Deck Duty as a Green Shirt those were some of the most hectic and stressful duties of my tour during Desert Storm - the bombs and missiles were real, the planes and helicopters were going on real missions, and the speed and pace was unlike training. It was the real-deal and turned up to 11 - and the pucker factor was turned up to 11 too. From 4 Harriers taking off back to back, to Harriers taking off from the Fore and CH-46's and CH-53's landing Aft deck at the same time. The heat from jet engines, the rotor-wash from the helicopters, the pitching and swaying from the ship, to the bomb-loaders, tugs, generators, and other support gear I was responsible for all moving too, the wind from the the ship moving at several knots all combined with the ocean's cross-winds, and the noise from everything - all going on at the same time. Sh*t was real dangerous and I still have a full appreciation of what Navy Personnel do day in and day out. That was truly a miraculous thing that a Marine like me, was able to operate at that level, and at that time, while doing that job. I can't even imagine what it's like on a full-sized CVN. Go Navy. Semper Fi....

I like how at 1:51 the left blue shirt goes in for a team huddle and the right blue shirt goes for the headbutt lol. Always wanted to work on carriers but joined the USAF instead and was a fighters/tankers electrician. Its crazy seeing how similar yet different these worlds are.

I can’t get enough of watching these guys and gals. I love our Navy, especially. The men and women who serve these planes and pilots are super heroes. Without them…I don’t even want to think about it Love me so US NAVY ❣️🇺🇸❣️

Thank you for your service. The end scene is BEAUTIFUL! Much respect to you all.

My biggest regret in life is not enlisting and working on a flight deck.. Literally my dream job

Flight ops may be routine for these guys but in my eyes its amazing. These guys are real bad asses

Things sure have changed since I was a plane captain on a A4 Skyhawk. Was on the Forrestal when we had the fire and the Intrepid both WestPac cruises. Bigger carriers and bigger planes now and more safety. Go Navy

Our Navy ROCKS! Proud mama of a sailor 😊

Honored to serve aboard USS America, USS JFK and USS Nimitz. VAW-124 Green jersey (AT). Go Navy

This video makes me understand this topic much more. Great job

Not going to lie, I miss the rush on deck. Served 03-07 on board the USS Nimitz (CVN-68) as an ABH3, finished my service time as a Yellow Shirt Flight Deck Director in Fly 2 & 3.

We are safe. The work, these kids make it happen. Thank you for your service

Super team workers. You're all gorgeous and amazing. This clip made me understand more about their responsibility divided by their shirt's colors.

This is why I joined the navy bro.

Man. So you have to be a pilot first before you can qualify for Shooter? No wonder those guys seem so on top of things. They know their stuff!

Another amazing video from the navy. Now for a whole diferent kind of experience try this: Play the video again but this time without sound and open a new tab playing Berlin - "Take my breath away". Feel the cinematic moment.

Wow God bless all the crews

what a nice cinematography and editing pice

Literally my new dream job

Well, actually this navy video montage is so well done that almost every music fits perfectly with this beautiful deck, aircraft and crew ballet. Try with the song "Higher" from Taio Cruz ft. kylie Minogue this time.

SUCHA FANTASTICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC MOVIE,HORNETS,HAWKEYES,GREYHOUNDS,AND CARRIER DECK OPERATORS BRAVO................

Wow not even gonna tag me in this. this is my narration done for my rating video ABH i got selected for on board CVN71 Theodore Roosevelt and I guess they used in this flight ops video, crazy.

This gives me a view of what my father did he was tail gun fighter in WW2 and Korean. Navy love you all

Shipping as an ABH! 2020 🇺🇸⚓

Go Navy. Super power carry on

Top Gun brought me here.

amazing

I'll be there soon

Awesome!

They are great men, a job full of risks and dangerous.. 👍👍

Shipping as AO March 26th 2020

The purpose of naval warships is to deliver weapons to enemy positions. We redshirts make that delivery possible.

Not live but hoping for a 5 hr+ video

ALRE ALL DAY

Is there a black shirt too? I've seen it on a website but unsure if it's real.

It's a very good video, but I think you got a few things wrong! I think the shooters are senior enlisted AB (Aviation Boatswain mate). I was enlisted NAVY for 20 years. More than half of those years, I worked as Flightdeck final checker for the squadrons I was attached to. I don't remember ever seeing the Shooter that was also a pilot.

Joining ABH, I head to meps in 7 days

❣❣

My dream job

Mi God this a the best move .

💪

i worked crash and smash USS ANZIO CG68 AND USS COLE DDG67 06-13 DC1 (SW)

I’m only 15. But when I turn 16, I’m hopeful going into NROTC to get an officer rank. My dream job is a "shooter"

👍👍👍👍

Brown jersey here

Ive always wanted to be a part of US naval aviator. Too bad i wasnt an american in the first place lol

I miss it, something I have never admitted. I was a white shirt in 💕 love.

Green Shirt; flight deck photog.

What’s the music?

How much can 1 hand receiver I can't sees

I am the patent inventor of these landing ships and the fighter jets , I am a Navajo Codetalker.

Why do everyone miss the squadron green shirts to repair them. Brown shirts and training green shirts also chain the aircraft and inspect them and control the aircraft once it is landed and before take off. Yellow shirts are not the highest the White shirts that are safety.

what about the engineers, i never see any videos on them.. the main ones that make the ship work.

Are there any medics on the flight deck or emergency response if something goes wrong, or do all the colors play a role in that response?

Never realised shooters were also pilots

Uss Roosevelt (brown shirt)

I’m in the US Navy Yellow Jersey I have a bow and arrow shoot

I’m thinking about enlisting after high school

I want to naval aviator if you wanna grow up

hey, i used some clips of this video for a tiktok edit I hope its okey ;)

This is the kind of stuff for recruiting commercials

You have my crimpers my crabbers . I master the universe k?

Russa dub in ice water

التشيك

Forgot that chaplains also wear white jerseys

🗣💩🤖🤖🤖

Not true shooters dont have to be pilots, chief or qualified 1st class handler and Catapult safety petty officers can shoot as well

Is there a reason why the grape fueler sailor is wearing Dickies on the flight deck??

I wanted crypto instead all i got was this red shirt
