Title: Manning Battlestations, Submarine Style

This is a few years old, but it is so cool I thought I would share:

In case you were wondering, the dialogue in this video isn't "for show"...those are the actual reports that we use on the boat.

Very cool, Ruckdog, very cool. I don't know how you guys handle doing what you do, but I sure am glad you're doing it.

Regarding advertising, I've always felt that the Navy and the Marines really know how to reach out and challenge someone to be something, while Army and Air Force commercials just seem...uninspired.

Case in point:

And I can poke fun because I WAS in the Army.

It's interesting you mention that...the different services have always had different approaches to recruiting and public relations. Interestingly, its historically been the Air Force (and before that, the Army Air Corps) that has been the most successful at public relations. If not in terms of recruiting, then definitely in terms of their congressional lobby!
