Random Thoughts & PBS Carrier

So here I am bored to tears. Got lots of work to do.... at home. But I don't have time to do it after work. We have games or practice 4 out of 5 days during the week, then games most of Saturday. I also don't have the motivation or energy that Army Wife has.

PBS series Carrier: I've seen the first 4 episodes, so 2 days worth, which means I'm a day or two behind. I'm still undecided about what I think of the series. There are a couple things I want them to show, but still don't know if they will. So far they have focused on a couple of Airman/Seamen most of which are a little pissed off, a couple of Junior Officers and a lot of the ship's Command Master Chief (CMC).

I was talking to one of the people here at work and as we were talking she informed me I was indeed out there when they were filming. I can't remember that at all. But I will say on my behalf that when there are TV type people around me, I avoid them at all costs and I tend to block out large portions of my deployments. I think the shrinks call it a defense mechanism.

I know or have obviously seen most of the people that they have interviewed or shown, and have not seen me. Which is good. If I do I'll let you know. Also keep your eyes open for anything that says VFA-14, Tophatters, or if you see anything with a black top hat, that was my old squadron. They ruled.

The first episode did hit me a little in my allergy place, remembering stuff like the farewell. Guam really is a cool place, they really do tell you what you can and can't wear off the ship.

I will also be willing to answer any questions you have about what they are showing. At times I had to stop and think because things got out of sequence or creative in their editing.
