  You don't practice until you get it right.  You practice until you can't get it wrong.

  Served on a carrier in the 1960's, and don't think I laid eyes on the captain a half dozen times in 2 years.

  I was a school superintendent and I have a feel for the many concerns that a leader has to confront on a daily basis!

  I served in the army in the late '60s early '70s as a Morse code intercept operator. My grandfather graduated from the naval academy in 1908 and was in world war I and world war II and retired after world war II as a rear admiral. He was a submarine commander in world war I and in world war II. He had many different positions. He worked directly for admiral Nimitz and they were friends. After world war II, he retired but was called back in and wrote two books on replenishment at Sea which he and another admiral had developed in world war II to keep ships supplied at Sea so they wouldn't have to go into ports. He died at the age of 90. He was a great guy and great fun.

  I served aboard two great Navy Carriers, CV 43 ('80 - '83) & CVN 65 ('83 - ' 85) for two deployments, and can attest to the stories that this video portrays. However, unless you had to go up before "The Old Man", they were mostly out-of-sight. I truly believe that today's CO's are required to put in frequent appearances among the crew, perhaps not so much a necessity in the past. That being said, we're talking two very different times in this country's military history. Salute to ALL "Skippers" and thank you to every service member out there doing the tough job!
