I left the ship in the PI, in early 86 to rotate back stateside. Was in PI when Marcos was having issues, joy joy fun fun.

I get the impression you were a nuc. I would imagine anything that might happen on the boat acquires an instant 100x modification to the pucker factor vs same issue on a ship.

Carriers are plenty exciting.

The Navy works in a hostile environment. (I know, most of the military does). Mother Nature will lure you into complacency, then try to kill you, and she doesn't understand the word "overkill".


The only thing that might make the sub "more" dangerous, is the chance of everyone being killed is higher.

I couldn't watch much. What's with the happy cartoon music when people are dying?

In the first Gulf war I flew a KC 10 on an approach to a carrier. We we asked to "call the ball" and replying yes, we excused a missed approach

Yes, I have cockpit video and audio to and from the carrier. If I knew how to post 8mm I would?

There should be a slot for that somewhere.

Do you know how I could upload the video?

 

[actaeon277]

Do you know how I could upload the video?

There are various services that will convert it.
Or you can buy equipment to do it yourself.

Probably convert it to DVD first. Then grab small sections and upload to YouTube.

Ya-
What he said. ^^^
I've got some 8mm I'd like changed over too.

I also found some film that hasn't been developed yet.............126s and 30mm.........from the 60s I think?
