Carrier


Every now and then I come across a good movie, tv show or book. If they are really good, I have to share it with all of you.

Recently I watched the PBS mini-series called "Carrier." It's the story of the 2005 deployment of US Navy aircraft carrier the USS Nimitz. A film crew goes on board for over four months and films everything.

In this time of "reality tv," It was nice to watch "real" life that's not staged or over produced. The 10 part documentary can be found at your local library, on the PBS website or on Itunes. I suggest you watch it when you find the time.

With my sister joining the Navy, I got a better understanding of what she and every other US service member goes through to protect our country.
