Did anyone catch the 10 part (Shown over 5 nights) PBS show "Carrier"? A camera crew spent a 6 month deployment of the USS Nimitz in 2005. It followed the crew from them leaving through everything until its return. Showing the lowliest of crew to the Fleet Admiral. It shows the good and the bad. One thing they show is how many of sailors came from troubled childhoods and how the Navy helped them. Even if they plan on getting out after their 4yrs.
For those saw it. That one guy whose gf got pregnant before he left. I knew as soon as she wasn't emailing/calling him. She was not going to stay with him. But, what was sad is when you hear and finally see her. You can see how immature she is. At the end you see she is going back to the ex-bf. I am curious what happened with her and him.
Here is a link to PBS that gives a bit of follow up to some of those shown...
