Welcome aboard an EA-18G Growler catapult shot off the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), somewhere near Wake Island in the beautiful Pacific Ocean. This was a 59K MAX power Case I launch off catapult 3 on a day training sortie. Look at the color of the water. Absolutely amazing. Fly Navy!
*CORRECTION to the narration*
In the jam, I mention "the Shooter" when I'm on the catapult. Since this was a bubble launch, the Shooters were actually in the bubble and the Catapult Safety Observer (CSO), an ABE (Aviation Boatswain's Mate - Launch/Recovery), is the Sailor who tells me to run up the throttles and gives me the final "thumbs up" prior to launch. The CSO is an enlisted Sailor. Al Shooters are Officers.

I love that you take the time to describe little, seemingly unimportant, things to the viewer. I know a couple of Hornet pilots, and they'll happily tell you stories, but sometimes they skip over little details that to them seem so routine, but to us plebes out here are mega interesting. It's no different then any other skill profession. What seems routine and mundane to you can be extremely interesting to those of us with different training and skill sets.

My best friend, also a nurse, always texts me before she calls. This morning I answered her text with "Yepper I'm awake and starting the day with a smile! Coffee, the dog and a Navy pilot". My phone rang in seconds. Before I could even get "G'morning" outta my mouth, she yelled "WHAT???? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, A NAVY PILOT?". It took some explaining....but now SHE is watching GrowlerJam. #flynavy. 😂😅

That is SO cool!!!!! I know it's a long, tough road to get to a Hornet or Growler front seat. I also once heard that only the top candidates in flight school are selected for the fighters. Years ago, when I was active duty, I also remember that the guys who are in the lower echelon in flight school end up in the helos, although I also remember that there's some wiggle room to choose what you want to do? That sort of surprised me a bit. Decades ago, a neighbor we had was a pilot for NorthEast which later merged with Delta. He had flown UH-1 Hueys in Vietnam, and I clearly remember him telling me that a helicopter was a whole lot harder to fly than fixed wing aircraft.

Loved it. I've seen so many Top Gun-type shots of fast-action carrier take-offs but always wondered what it's really like to be in the cockpit during all that time. This really gave a great feel for that. Thanks for taking the time to give the rest of us the chance to "sit in the cockpit" with you!
