That ship really did seem like a floating jail, at some points...mad respect for all of those service members on the Nimitz!

It would be cool if they did something like this with other branches. Although, I doubt they could get the same level of access??

PBS has been coming with some heat lately, too.

flangl18,

Thank you for answering questions.

Someone on the ship said that there were about 3000 sailors: only half of the total number of people on the ship? I thought there were about ten to fifteen officers, and maybe about thirty pilots. How many officers and pilots are actually on the ship?

What about lifeboats?

What about the sleep situation? Can the jet takeoffs be heard in all of the bunks? If not, can people request a quieter bunk?

Can they read message boards or do online searches on the ship's computers?

Is it common for sailors to have a girl, ("professional" woman), in most ports? Do the sailors typically combine the drinking with women? ]]> feeds@yuku.com (usuallylurk) http://survivorsucks.com/sreply/2908185 Wed, 07 May 2008 23:48:27 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Carrier on PBS - We're not going to need a bigger boat ]]> http://survivorsucks.com/reply/2907925/t/Carrier-on-PBS-We-re-not-going-to-need-a-bigger-boat.html#reply-2907925 feeds@yuku.com (squashthebeef) http://survivorsucks.com/sreply/2907925 Wed, 07 May 2008 22:23:58 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Carrier on PBS - We're not going to need a bigger boat ]]> http://survivorsucks.com/reply/2907920/t/Carrier-on-PBS-We-re-not-going-to-need-a-bigger-boat.html#reply-2907920

I didn't see anything that al Quaeda could've used this time around, except maybe where the sailors go on shore leave, but they could find that out through other avenues.

Once again PBS entices us, yet I bet will betray us.

10 eps, spread out April 27 through May 1.

Our tax dolllars at work? PBS in its death throes?
