I remember watching these flicks in the recruiters office. When I hit the fleet I realized that with editing and snazzy music anything can be made too look glamorous
I don’t remember them. I joined in Mid 71 at 18 and ended up in a VP Squadron as an AX which is basically an ASW AT. My older brothers had both been in the Navy, one as a Sonar tech on fast attacks and the other as an AO in a VP Squadron.
The truth can be cold. But wadda big box of transonic chocolates (er, less the Spads an a couple of others). The Demon always fascinated me, it's entry I guess, too bad about the engines. A-3 bombers w/ tail guns, a rare treat! Tigers, Cruds, the Vig handing me into puberty, T-stars, a P-3 ready for dinner, A-4 perfection aplenty, a Fury. At this rate how could the P-2 be left out? Video neat, w/ jazz; hardly possible to get any better than this; knew a Chicago Jarhead crew who'd break out some top-shelf whiskey for this sort of thing. Thank you, Peri.
@@nlpnt I was stationed at NAS Brunswick, Maine. We had a deployment schedule of 5 months overseas and 10 months state side. There were also many small deployments with a few aircraft along with that schedule.
5000 sailors on a carrier and what - a hundred pilots?150? They make it seem like everyone is a naval aviator. "You get a plane and you get a plane! You also get a plane! Everyone here today, get's a plane!!"

I've got 12 years in Army Aviation. The romance of naval aviation?... Maybe I joined the wrong branch of the military. Maybe not. 1974 First Female joins Naval Aviation. What kind of romance was going on between 1970 to 1974?
Nice try, Navy. The only time the Navy was involved in romance was when they unwittingly used the Village People for a recruitment video. back in the 80s. I'll never get tired of these videos though. Reminds of that scene from Private Benjamin, when she finds out that the army doesn't have a massage parlor, a spa and the other assorted luxuries they promised in the recruitment office. 😁

When the recruitment video slaps this hard, you know they must be selling you somethin jank AF.
You have to remember the draft was still going on. This sure beats the hell out of being in a rice paddy.
@@Chris_at_Home It makes me wonder why they bothered, who wouldn't take Key West over Khe Sanh?

Man! So many awesome aircraft! Even a Sea Fury.

as the saying goes a carrier sails with 5,000 men and returns to port with 2,500 couples!!!
worth it for the soundtrack alone

I was in Naval Aviation for six years. Overseas was great, state side was a drag. A lot lot lot more of the later than the latter so I got out.
That music would have made me join the Army.
sounds like a porno soundtrack from back then!!!
@@keithmoore5306 True...Very True 😂
I say again, splash the band.
Damn during 1970s in our country was in puberty while US was operating nuclear powered aircraft carriers amazing
This video needs airplane sound not music. I guess a video like this can be a history lesson.
The soundtrack music is reminiscent of the Maynard Ferguson big band.
🤔🤔just wondering how much a regular sailor got paid in the 70s?
Even the Demon made this promo flick!
ALBATROSS!
that soundtrack is right out of a porno!!!
I love the music..OK! Shut up America haters. The music is more uniquely American than naval aviation.
Music sounds like Lalo Schifrins Dirty Harry
I was expecting a flying male plane to "get it on" with a female plane.
Very disappointed.
Oh my ears...

Devo's 'Whip It' woulda made a great Marine Corps recruiting soundtrack.
