Life On The Flight Deck | Marines and Sailors work together onboard the USS Bataan

Sailors and Marines of the Air Dept. work in concert to launch and land aircraft aboard USS Bataan (LHD 5).
A myriad of colored shirts pepper the flight deck of the amphibious assault ship. Every one of them is critical in maintaining the safest working environment to accomplish the mission.
(U.S. Marine Corps video by Sgt. Matthew Callahan)

I love what they do how did they learn so much and give so much of themselse. Admirations is great for them.

Working on the flight deck, any flight deck is truly one of the most dangerous jobs/places in the world. The only thing more impressive than flight ops on the boat is night flight ops on the boat. Thanks to all now serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. FLY NAVY!!!

[@driverjoelonghauler2881]

Same shit different day from my time. The only difference is the type of aircraft. We had Harriers and SH3 Sea King helos. Go NAVY. You’ll never regret doing your part at sea. Anyone know why LHA-4 is in mothballs or has been for awhile?

[@ismiles85]
