A day in the life on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier

This video is from Aug 18th, 2014, on board USS George H W Bush (CVN-77) in a timespan that covers roughly 6pm to 8pm local. There are some chunks missing that were so boring that I stopped the camera, but it is fairly representative of what working on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier is like. In this video I am in Quality Assurance with an E-2C squadron, VAW-124 Bear Aces, and aircraft 603 has come in for a hot pump crew swap (HCPS), where the aircraft is refueled with one of the engines still running, and a new flight crew takes over, before launching again. Assorted other things happen. I think this video gives a good demonstration of the mixture of abject terror and soul-crushing boredom that is flight deck life. Other than fancy lil' transitions between the video segments, the content is entirely unedited (I did mess with white balance). Please try not to think about what is in the drinking tube of my camelbak. I don't know why I didn't notice it, and it's pretty ick, and yes I got very very sick from it for about 4 days. I now have superpowers. The superpower is getting very sick for about 4 days. The foreign helicopter that shows up is a Westland Lynx of some sort. I can't remember whose roundel was on it, but I want to say it was a British RN Lynx HMA.8. They were retired three years after this video. The helo just came for some gas. Other than that, I presume there will be questions; I will do my best to answer them in the comments. This video is not monetized, so I'm not doing this for the likes; I just wanted to let the world see why I, like many flight deck folks, have a vastly different comprehension of danger than normal folk! And yes, I was less than 3 feet away from a 13ft propeller spinning at 1,109 rpm. I did it a lot. Also, 603 was borrowed from VAW-123 Screwtops, who made sure to paint it up extra fancy in Screwtops colors as an un-subtle giggling middle finger. Very funny, ha ha
