Damn...this brings back memories. I was on the old Oriskany CV-34 during its last cruise in '76...we had the old A-7 bomb barges...the Corsair II with VA-153...I was on that fuckin' deck everyday.
Well that launch kinda puts to shame my little Piper Archer takeoffs at the airport. If there is one thing I wish I could do before I kick the bucket...it's get launched like that! I'd rather experience that than have the best sex with the hottest broad on earth.
@lukeluna99 A shooter is an Officer. The guy directing is an enlisted person. And ASVAB are not that high. But one has to have a head on str*8 to work the deck.Can not be a Gommer.
@350z350zify It takes a hard working person. It is looked down on by many. But they could not do the job. It is a small club. And as an ABH or AB. We take that job to hart. And dont put up with BS from a candy ass in the Navy. Who think they are better. Give it a shot. You will love the rush from the flight deck. Nothing like knowing you could get wack everyday of your life when at sea. In peace time or war. It's all the same to the flight deck crews.
I would love to have this job, but I have a question. I live in Belgium and I don't know if they do such things there as well as I don't know if you need to follow an entire millitairy drill. I don't have any conditions. So could I do this job?
@ATBirdMan I can answer your question. I worked on the USS Constellation doing the same job. We used to wear the same trousers that the other services used because there was a very big supply. We were given surplus trousers at no cost. Some people would wear the standard issue dungaree trousers too. The dungaree's didn't hold up too well on the flight deck. The flight deck is a tough place to work and people would wear out their gear quickly. Hope that answers you question.
VF213 - VF31 ?? Teddy R ? I made that float. Tomcats forever ! yes. But Rhino's are in now. I love'd the 'Cat , plane captain'd for a while , worked till i was dizzy. Worst / Best job ever. but i agree , 'Cats were hard . Rhino smaller. Thats what sticks in my head . But Tomcats FOREVER , BABY ! God i miss that bird. Hard , but i allways felt I DID something worthwhile , Rhino's ? I allways think I'm gonna break somethin' , haha. Stupid , huh ?
@Dogfish1960 haha so im guessing you put the hard on in quotations because it doesnt happen anymore? lol...fuck, I dont want to get old...jk. Thank you for your service sir.
Thats right...but hears the thing...TopGun was an outstanding movie (minus all the insecure homo comments by all the insecure men)...but i always imagine a part II, with Cruise and Kilmer as Admirals coming to the rescue the other...or one in the Atlantic the other in Pacific and the US is under attack (052309), with some young actors playing young and cocky Naval Aviator.....nice idea? any1? any1?
Yeah man I hear ya. But don't worry cuz Iran isn't getting any parts from the F-14D models, so they won't even come close to touching them. I am happy at least that one country is still flying them, in a way that means that the Tomcat still lives on.
Thats right...but hears the thing...TopGun was an outstanding movie (minus all the insecure homo comments by all the insecure men)...but i always imagine a part II, with Cruise and Kilmer as Admirals coming to the rescue the other...or one in the Atlantic the other in Pacific and the US is under attack (052309), with some young actors playing young and cocky Naval Aviator.....what you?
No. Not in a million years would the F/A-18 be a suitable replacement. Top Gun was meant for the F-14 and the F-14 only. If they did something on the F/A-18, the movie would make the producers look like shit compared to Top Gun. Top Gun was one of the best movies ever, and nothing can top it when it comes to aviation
and by the way, you make it sound like the F/A-18 was the only plane that saved lives, The B-52 did, the F-14's did with great precision and destruction, the B-1 as well as F-16's, A-10's, and F-15E's. dont forget the infantry as well. get the fuck outta here and hit the books retard =)
Thats your opinion, most people I talked with had fun with it and enjoyed because it was its last cruise with VF-213 and VF-31. It was all worth it, and the Tomcat will be missed.
surely this has to be the most dangerouse job on earth...with much respect to the Alaskan Crabmen and the Axe Men of WA ,OR. and MT.... any1? any1 any1?
I found a Mustang Survival flight deck vest on the beach in NC last weekend and "A/C Director" is stencilled on the back. Yogi Bear is written in magic marker in the reflective area and the initials LDH are written on the bottom. Could this have blown off the deck?
Well, I'm sure the pilots have the most fun, but I was crash and salvage on the Eisenhower and we never did anything. There were a couple scares here and there but I fell asleep alot...hard to imagine you could pass out with jets like that at full power, but in those hot suits and cranials it's no problem...
you will be a blue shirt. chocking ang chaining. the only way to go beyond that is to prove urself. You can go to crash, or yellow. It isnt easy going to either of those, and depends if you are V-1 or V-3. V-3 just chocking and chaining in the hangar. V-1 chocking and chaining also but more of it with night ops. Oh and dont forget all the bullshit that comes with it. Have fun. AND PAY ATTENTION AT ALL TIMES. MOST Blue shirts are stupid and dont pay attention.
Your right...what about night ops? do they place any type of reflective deck edge warning tape for those guys? so they won't walk over into the sea thanks Horne
Kind of but not really. There is barely any light but you learn your surroundings quickly. Not to mention there are nets that line the flight deck so if you stumble off odds are you'll fall into one of those.
What are you talking about? Shirt color only has to do with what someones job is, not their rank. The yellows are giving signals to the pilot and the green ones are performing maintainence
I know the color is job function, but I cannot see them taking some green, new recruit and making him an aircraft director. I was asking if you have to do certain other jobs before taking that position. Shirt color may have to do with the job but I'm sure most of these guys are all or close to the same rank. I thought the green shirt was the guy who had the final say. Aside from the air boss of course (Yellow shirt)
Once you're trained for a job that's pretty much your job for your career. The yellow shirt you see there directing the pilot is most likely an NCO with a lot of experience, but theres other yellow shirts under him that are right there assisting him and learning from him (one day they'll be doing the directing). Nobody performing an enlisted function in rainbow gear has "final say" on anything by the way. There's an officer somewhere there keeping everything in place.
So this is how it goes, i was an ABH on the kitty hawk (the ship in the video) i know this was a year ago but still to not correct you would be wrong. ABH=handler= Blue and yellow shirts. you must be a blue to be a yellow. 1.chock and chain. 2. tractor driver (tow birds). theses are blue shirts. after mastering that you become a yellow shirt, the director. ranging from E-3s and up. dont have to be high ranking. there 3 job titles that work the deck, ABH (blue/yellow), ABE (Green), ABF (purple)
@LynchM34 You know your stuff! There are a lot of other rates that work up there too...I was a PH (photographer) who worked on the Tomcat's recon system in the early/mid 80's. It's a tough job, something I would never even cnsider doing now that I'm older and wiser....it's for young carefree men (and women!).
@LynchM34 No, a yellow (director) doesn't have to be E-3 up, at least not in the USS Nimitz. The best blue shirt to ever walk the USS Nimitz flight deck was a guy nicknamed VG from fly 1, deployment 2005
@Kopihucky yellow shirt are in charge of aircraft movement on the flight deck. Green preform maintenance. Its the color of the pants denotes rank. Woodland Camo is enlisted crew men and Tan pants or desert camo are officers.

Nope, i was a director on this ship, im a female, did it for 3 years it was awesome! there isnt that many females that work on the flight.. worked with the guy in the vid
God I miss workin up on deck so much. 18-21 hour work days baby wit no days off. That's what the F I'm talkin about!! F a 9-5. AB's run the flight deck, God bless America. lol.
It's a jet blast deflector, it channels the exhaust up and away from people and equipment including other aircraft. that exhaust could blow one down the deck!
Great video. One of the most dangerous jobs in the world, performed to perfection by 19 & 20 year-old kids every day all over the world, 24/7/365, so we can sleep safely in our beds at night.
Right, I forgot that the whole world wants to conquer and invade the USA. What a piece and cheap crap, do you really buy it? Apart from this, the video itself is great.
Moron, they don't have to invade anymore, dumbsh1ts like you let them walk in. Don't suppose you noticed the extra clothing that guy was wearing, probably wet also. Not to mention, been up since 5am, not going to get off till at least 2am. You wouldn't last 5 minutes in his job. F*^k off and get a life.

It's a jet blast deflector, it channels the exhaust up and away from people and equipment including other aircraft. that exhaust could blow one down the deck!

Great video. One of the most dangerous jobs in the world, performed to perfection by 19 & 20 year-old kids every day all over the world, 24/7/365, so we can sleep safely in our beds at night.

Right, I forgot that the whole world wants to conquer and invade the USA. What a piece and cheap crap, do you really buy it? Apart from this, the video itself is great.

Moron, they don't have to invade anymore, dumbsh1ts like you let them walk in. Don't suppose you noticed the extra clothing that guy was wearing, probably wet also. Not to mention, been up since 5am, not going to get off till at least 2am. You wouldn't last 5 minutes in his job. F*^k off and get a life.
