PBS’ CARRIER Join Us 9/9 9pmET

Wendy - Navy Wife Radio — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 02:49:37 +0000

This Tuesday 9/9 at 9pmET we welcome two “cast” members from PBS’ CARRIER. You don’t want to miss this show LIVE! Here are the details:

From NavyWifeRadio.com

Tuesday 9 September 08 – CARRIER | PBS Special | Chris Altice and Christian Garzone –

Chris Altice

The PBS Special CARRIER evokes many different reactions depending on who you ask. Some loved the series, some not so much. No matter which side of the fence you fall on, our listeners keep telling us it’s the closest view we as spouses will ever get to what it’s like living on an aircraft carrier. Just like any good evening drama, CARRIER had it share of dramatic story lines. We were introduced to young Sailors, who quickly became fan favorites. When we began the search on which crew members to invite to the show, our two guests tonight were tops on the list. Tonight we welcome Chris Altice, who we watched on the flight deck in his red shirt loading ordinance. We got to know this young father-to-be and rooted for him during his agonizing girlfriend experience.

Christian Garzone

Second, we welcome the humorous Christian Garzone. His homemade videos with side-kick Phil gave us a unique insight into their world inside the ship. Christian was a breath of fresh air during series and was the 1st person our fans requested.

We’ll hear from both Chris and Christian on what it was like on board during the filming, their thoughts on how well or truthful the series depicts Navy life on board a Carrier, what they are doing now and much more.

As always we’ll be taking your questions and your calls.

We are also announcing the winners to our *Nights in Rodanthe* by Nicholas Sparks Book Contest!

Maybe you are like me and have never heard of this new video sweeping YouTube about a Lion being reunited with his owners after being set free in Africa for a year.

My aunt mentioned it to me the other day and I finally located the video today.

Word of advice, grab a tissue….

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

My three year old is a space freak. He lives and breathes anything and everything space related. (He’s also very into airplanes but right now space has a definite cool factor too it.) My sister is an elementary school teacher and for Christmas she got him a fantastic DVD all about the space shuttle. How it is built, what it can with stand, what the scientist do in space, on and on it goes. Dash-1 has seen it enough times that he can explain what friction is and how water turns to vapors. Impressive isnt it? Well last night he came running up to me and showed me the insert to the DVD that he had found in the playroom. It was the entire collection of The Big Adventure Series. I had to share with you moms out there what two of the other videos were…. hold on to your hats, this is exciting…..

The Big Aircraft Carrier explores the USS Nimitz complete with landing and takeoff aboard the carrier, explaining how the ship works, what the different folks wearing the different colored shirts do, and just how big the Nimitz really is. The Big Submarine goes underwater in a Titan Class sub and answers any and all questions kids (and adults) might have about submariners. I haven’t gotten either DVD yet so I cant give a full review of them but I’m sure its only a matter of time. I can only imagine that these might be very handy DVD’s for little ones who’s mom or dad is getting ready to hit the seas.

Navy Reserve Recruiting Video

Wendy - Navy Wife Radio — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 04:28:45 +0000

A new Navy recruiting video is out and making it’s rounds. It is very “untraditional”, and actually pretty good I think.

“Carrier” – A PBS Documentary

Jessica — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 10:29:48 +0000

I posted this on my personal blog but thought I would pass this Information along to those who may be interested.

“Carrier” was taped on the USS Nimitz during a 2005 “Cruise” by PBS. It is a documentary in which the US Navy allowed unprecedented access to it’s Sailors & it’s Lead Ship of Nimitz-class Supercarriers.

The documentary offers a once in a lifetime glimpse of what Navy life is like aboard this “Floating City” and will be airing on PBS April 27th – May 1st.

I am interested to check it out myself. Especially being the spouse of a Navy Sailor, I too am very interested as to what exactly goes on while my Sailor is away at sea. It will be interesting to see the challenges that they face and the “other side” of the deployment while I’m left behind to take care of the Home-front.

Here is a link to PBS’ “Carrier”

Here is the Trailer:
