This one however digs a little deeper into ALL aspects of underway life, from how an E1 is stuck in the galley washing dishes during a TAD (temp assigned duty) to an officer making the mistake of while married engaging in an affair with an E3...

CARRIER . Full Episodes | PBS
Caught a few epsisodes. Its good stuff though saw some stuff I didn't think I would ever see. The F18 driver who is desperate to get home and leaves the ship on a COD and he is in jeans! I was like "HOLY COW!". The kid that has to ask his prego GF to email him is pretty funny. Saw all that nonsense when I was out to sea. Did my time on LPH's. No computers then either. Snail mail and the occassional emergency was all we had. Of course you could do the HF thing but that was a pain.
