This program was made possible by the corporation for public broadcasting, and by contributions to your PBS station from It's a long road to paradise and oh, I feel the pain oh oh oh they tell me things are different now but I still hurt the same uh uh uh haze gray and under way a world away from you and miles and miles of blue and the River opens for the righteous and the River opens for the righteous and the River opens for the righteous and the River opens for the righteous someday I solemnly swear that I will support and defend I solemnly swear that I will support and defend The constitution of the United States of America.
The constitution of the United States of America.

I'm very patriotic.
I do this for God and country, and I always say "God" and they look at me.
They don't see me as a very religious person.
But I do.
I do this for God and country.
I am a patriot and I love my country because my country is all I know I don't spend a great deal of time thinking why the Bush Administration sent us into Iraq.
I believe in God.
I believe we're supposed to be here.
That I will obey the orders.
Of the president of the United States.
When the president decides it's time to defend our national interest, I don't think you'll find a pilot around that isn't ready to do everything he can to support that mission.
I want to be with my family people who understand me I've got no place else to go and the River opens for the righteous and the River opens for the righteous and the River opens for the righteous and the River opens for the righteous someday ââ¢Âª Wade in the water Wade in the water ââ¢Âª Protestant daily prayer services are now being conducted in the ship's chapel.
Maintain silence in the vicinity of the ship's chapel.
Gonna trouble the water You get out in the sea, and you look 360 degrees, and you see nothing but water, it puts things in another perspective.
Wade in the water When sailors see the power of the sea, and when we get into the storm, and they see the power of the sea, they suddenly realize how very small and relatively insignificant we human beings are.
Wade in the water Being out to sea is like being in the wilderness because you're out in the middle of the ocean, almost in the middle of nowhere.
You can be around thousands of people and still feel lonely.
And that's the perfect opportunity to build your relationship with the Lord.
Dressed in white Wade in the water prayer in five must be the children of the Good evening, my Nimitz family.
This is your air wing chaplain, Brian Jacobson.
Because we're here for six months or more, we have a captive audience.
Lord, you know that we have a mission to carry out, and we ask your blessing of safety upon each individual.
Our shipboard life is a real melting pot of individuals.
So sailors are beginning to hear about other people's religious traditions, things they believe or things they don't understand, and that leads them to ask questions.
But like Adam and Eve are before Christ? Yes, the beginning.
You know Genesis? You ever heard of that? I have heard of it.
T's like the beginning of time.
That's where it says, on the sixth day, God made Yeah, and let there be light.
Yeah.
May this body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ keep us all close to him.
My name is Father Bob Keane.
I'm a catholic priest of the Jesuit order.
My responsibility is to supervise and provide all of the religious ministry that takes place aboard this ship.
We do have good attendance aboard services.
Of course, we'd always like to have more.
My name is Brian Jacobson.
I'm the chaplain for carrier air wing eleven, and my job is to provide religious support to the entire air wing.
The Protestant service that I'm in charge of is a contemporary praise and worship service.
Is there any prayer request tonight? Uh, my sister-in-law Trying to adopt for a really long time, and praying really hard about it for a really long time, and lots of ups and downs with that.
But she finally got a baby It's all permanent.
She's a mother.
So praise God for answered prayers.
Now is the time to worship In reality, the job of a chaplain is to protect the first amendment rights for everybody.
And you start thinking about all the different religious faiths that are on board the "Nimitz," and it's spectacular.
Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you, Jesus.
We have three different types of protestant faiths I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Hallelujah! Thank you, Lord! Latter Day Saints, Catholic.
There's a small coven of Wiccans on board.
The council of American witches finds it necessary to define modern witchcraft in terms of the American experience and needs.
We do not want to open ourselves to the destruction of our group by those on self-serving power trips.
Wicca is part of paganism, which is the belief in many different Gods.
And it'll surprise people.
They're like, I thought all witches wore black and were always unhappy.
We also believe in the rule of three, which is, you put good stuff out there, you'll get it back threefold.
You put bad stuff out there, you get it back threefold.
Kind of like karma.
I think I'm one of the only Jews on the boat, maybe.
I found one more, and that's only because I was lucky and he happened to realize that my name was a Jewish name.
That's why I don't like taking communion because I don't think I've been baptized; I don't know if I have or not.
No, you're not supposed to take it unless you're catholic, so I'm catholic! Oh, you are? Ok, then you had to be baptized.
But see, I don't know.
I don't think I was.
There is, your dad and ask him.
In the berthing areas, in the workspaces, surprisingly a great deal of discussion that goes on.
It might not be heavy, overt theological language, but that's exactly what they're doing.
Hey, was you ever at a muster when the oho was like, "pray to God we kill somebody"? Oh, no.
And we was all looking at him funny? I guess it was his talk before we got in the Gulf and stuff.
Trying to give us like, inspiration, and he was like, "let's kill whoever we need to kill.
Let's do it with pride.
Remember, you're out here defending America.
" Then I thought about it.
It's like fifty percent of America that's actually like don't want us out here.
And I raised my hand and I said, "why are you so big on killing people?" And he was like, "well, people in Iraq, they like, they killed our men and the marines that are out there right now, they're cutting their heads off, and they're taping it and acting like everything's all fun and things.
It's like, if they do anything to us, I want to get back at them three times harder.
" Then he looked at everybody and he was like, "are you guys with me? Let's pray to God that we kill somebody.
" Occasionally, there are some who have become aware of what seems to be a conflict of conscience, and that is something that they want to talk about, and chaplains are good people to do that with, if from only one perspective in that their conversation with us is confidential.
I thank God for coming to the Navy, because if I wouldn't have come to the Navy, I'd probably be dead, yeah.
I grew up in boot camp, 'cause before I went, I was still a child, you know, acting like a child.
I was out of High School though.
But I was still acting like a child, gangs a stuff like that.
I was getting threats.
What really got my mom is, I got jumped.
I got jumped by twenty dudes.
My mom is like, "yo, get out of the house now.
You're going to a recruiter right now.
You're signing up for whatever job they got that's leaving out right now.
" Nobody wants to help me help me paint the wall paint the wall The first time I saw Willie Johnson, I said to myself, "oh my gosh, he is so hot!" I can't believe I just said that! I could be all by myself though talking to a girl hanging with the homies but now, I'm here working hard Once he, like, sings or whatever, it just like melts you away.
Getting paint all over my pants who's gonna pay for my pants? Nobody At first, he said he wanted to be like, a stripper.
So I thought that was like, kind of outrageous.
But then, like, after a while, he was just like, "well, I want to be a singer.
" And I'm like, "OK, well, that's good, 'cause you have a good voice.
" And then, like a couple of weeks later, he was like, "well, you know what? I want to sing for God.
" When I close my eyes and I think of all those times that you brought me through I can never stop praising you before I came to the Navy, I wasn't saved.
I knew about things of God.
You know, I went to church all my life.
God you're ready for me and my family but I wasn't trying to live right.
I was pushing God away.
God, get out of my face.
Man, I want to do my own thing.
We lift our hands in the sanctuary we lift our hands God spoke through my friend, my boy Tate.
He's a choir director, the one that plays piano.
He says, "all I see is your spirit.
I don't see no bones, I don't see no muscles, I don't see nothing.
" He said, "all I see is your spirit, and I see God just knocking at your door, asking you to come in.
Knocking.
" Bow your heads.
Close your eyes.
Dear heavenly father, we ask you right now to forgive us of every wrong that we've done so far.
God delivered me from the club, he delivered me from smoking, from porno.
You know what I'm saying? I was hooked on it.
I ain't gonna sit here and lie in front of all of you.
You know what I'm saying? And whatever you do, don't take your Holy spirit away from us.
I ain't no virgin.
But I don't want to burn for a couple of minutes of fun, you know? Ain't no girl on this earth right now that could really come upon me and be like, "yo, Johnson, yo, let's go have sex!" And would make me really be like, "yeah, let's go, let's go right now!" Right there, you know? Bless every member on board from the Captain to the lowest e-1, God There's no girl, 'cause the Bible says, they drip with honey, their words are slick with oil, but they're poison.
I believe in God.
I believe that he's watching over us and that he's keeping us safe.
I believe in myself, I believe in my family, and I believe in the good Lord.
You have faith in your knowledge and in who you're flying with.
I don't fear anything about flying.
I believe all things happen for a reason.
And, uh, through my faith in God, it's not something I think about.
And I think if you did think about that, it would be, it'd be very difficult to do your job 100 percent.
My biggest fear up there is the arresting wire.
I hate those things.
All by myself, actually standing up there, and I'll think about just the fact that I've made it through part of the day, and I'll start thinking about, you know, all right, I've done good so far, keep your head on a swivel, stay up.
You know, not being even very religious, I'll kind of pray to myself that, you know, nothing happens, you know, with anybody on the flight deck.
And the phones are down.
And the phones are down.
And the phones are down.
Stay in touch with family and friends using AT&T direct ocean service.
Yeah, whenever it works.
Remember, I told you I called her, and she was sleeping, and she answered the phone, and she was like, "hello?" And she said, "did I call you?" Yeah.
And I was like and you know how I Wait a minute.
You know how I think too.
So I was like, hold on.
I was like hold up, how would I call you? You know I can't call you.
And I was like, "do you even know who this is?" And she said, "no.
" That's just strange, 'cause she's never been like that.
So I was like, "well, who've you been calling all the time that you would mistake, you know, for me?" I'm afraid Tanya's just Once the whole baby's over and I come home, I'm just afraid that she'll kind of go and do her own thing again.
Well, it's probably my fault.
But right before I left, before I even knew she was pregnant, we were never really like always together.
I didn't want it to come to the point where I fell in love and then had to leave for six months.
You know, just because of how hard it is.
I mean, it's horrible.
And then, you know, "hey, I'm pregnant.
" I care for her a whole lot, and I want to be with her.
I don't know if I could say I love her yet though.
You are my friend I know I can count you in Some days, the ship just sucks you dry.
You feel like you have nothing.
But as long as you have like those two good friends, it keeps you going.
And it's you that gets me through the day Me and my friends? Oh, well, we start it off by venting.
We always have to have that vent session.
Kind of get everything out.
It's you that makes me feel this way and I need it My friendship with Dell, my XO, it's a good one.
Dell and I are very similar.
We do a lot of the same things.
Our kids are the same age.
We both married girls from High School.
He's great to have around.
He's a lot of fun.
He keeps me out of trouble.
We're sailing out to an ocean of mystery My friends are awesome.
I love my friends.
They're a lot like me, 'cause most of them are southerners.
There isn't a better guy in the Navy right here.
I have come to have more friends here in the Navy than I had back home because some of the stuff that you're involved with back home everybody don't live a perfect life, and I realize that most of the friends I have back home wasn't really true friends at all.
I feel like I've known Susan my whole life.
And the thing is, I've never met Susan before.
She's been a true friend, and I I do have to say, as far as the emotional side, Sue has seen it, and I've also seen hers.
Tate, you know, that's my brother in the Lord; you know what I'm saying? So that's my brother I tell him everything.
And my brother, he loves me no matter what.
You know what I'm saying? Even if I told God, "God, I don't want to talk to you no more.
" I mean, if I were to do my own thing, he would still be there for me.
But that's a brother.
That's a real brother for you.
It's you that helps me through the day it's you that takes me far away it's you that makes me feel this way when I need it yeah Primary rule of foc'sle etiquette is, you never step over the anchor chain.
Please try to remember that.
That's a safety issue.
The foc'sle is an area in the ship where the anchor chains come up out of their lockers, and we get to make it our chapel on Sundays.
But it is right underneath the flight deck, and right underneath catapult one and two.
We come to walk in the light of one faith, in one communion of love.
So my sermon is frequently peppered by an F-18, or a Prowler being shot down the catapult.
Please be seated.
We all accept that.
It doesn't startle us too much anymore.
In those days, the Israelites came down to the desert of Sinai and pitched camp.
I have a strong faith background.
I'm one of those creationist people.
I'm not nutty about it.
I don't I don't wear t-shirts that say "walk for life" and walk around town and do all that other stuff.
But I have I have my personal beliefs.
I've been talking to Father Keane lately.
He seems to think that I would make a good catholic priest.
You want them all, but you can't have them all.
Right.
If you were to become a priest, in the Roman church, priests are celibate.
They're not married.
On the other hand, like many people, you may wish to marry and have a family.
Right.
Well, there's two very good things that you might want, but they're mutually exclusive.
Would that appeal to you? No.
No, that's actually far away from the life I expect to have.
I mean, I figure that the jewels I have are meant to be used, you know? Not just to sit idle, you know? I mean, my parts all work and they're good to go.
I mean, you know what I mean? Did you do a functional check last night? A couple of times a day, just to make sure, you know? But I mean, besides the unusual discharges I have, and the rashes all over.
I mean I'm kidding about that.
Keep your volume up even though the intonation goes down.
Ok, let me try that one more time.
Mm-hmm.
I will await your return.
Like that? I will await your return.
Father Keane's told me, in order to become a priest, you have to work on your voice.
'Cause you know, the way I'm speaking right now is the way I speak to anyone.
Very fast, very, you know, laid back, very sans culottes.
So he told me that you have to Project your voice and deepen it.
Know that the Lord is God; he made us.
His we are.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.
You know, something like that, like a James Earl Jones, almost.
This is a drill! This is a drill! General quarters, general quarters! All hands, man your battle stations! General quarters is like the ship's under attack.
It's just a drill.
We over-practice it though.
That's the problem.
That is heavy.
That's a saw? This is medical.
Head torch.
Ain't this for the jubilee patch right here? No, the jubilee's a big ol' giant metal patch.
The jubilee patch is the most exciting patch there is.
I know queen Elizabeth just had her golden jubilee.
What is a door stop doing in the bag? That's not a door stop.
Oh, it's not a door stop? Everybody else, keep your mouth shut and listen up.
Fun's over with, OK? If you think this is funny, it's not funny.
You two guys come on up here.
I want you to walk through what you're gonna do if you have a pipe with a two-inch crack in it.
Can you guys walk me through a crack? We met close to a year ago.
I was taking out trash one day.
Ironically, I was working in the trash room and I wouldn't accept his trash.
Phil said, "hey, we're not taking plastics today.
" 'Cause I had a bag of plastics I really had to get rid of.
And he just like threw it down on the ground and left it.
And I walked away and he goes, "oh, oh, petty officer! Petty officer! He just left a bag of plastic over there!" And I kind of disagreed with that.
I hear, "shipmate! Get back here! Excuse me, shipmate, you left a bag of plastic over there and we're not taking plastics 'til, you know, for two more weeks!" And I, he just bitched me out.
I grabbed the bag of plastic back.
You know, I went like this to Phil.
You know, flicked him off.
You have a two-inch crack.
Let's put something in it! All right, so we'll find the right size wedge.
About two weeks later, I saw him on the flight deck and he was talking to a friend like, whispering, like, "hey, you see that guy over there? He tried to dump a bag of plastics on me the other day.
" I walked, I said, "you know what?" And I started, you know, we got into it a little bit, and then we started laughing about it, and we just kind of became good friends after that.
'Cause we have, let's say, a five-inch crack.
So a wedge might fit all the way through it.
We're a lot alike in a lot of ways.
He's almost the complete opposite of me kind of.
Well, not complete opposite.
We both have like, problems paying attention to things.
Hey, what am I gonna do now, guys? Hey, what am I gonna do after I pull 'em out in that mark? We're both very sarcastic about things.
We're always making smart comments and getting in trouble.
What other patch can I utilize? Nicotine patch.
Nicotine patch.
Nicotine.
What's that? I believe in hard work.
Hard work gets you where you need to be.
I believe in peace.
That's all I promote.
Peace and happiness.
I don't put my life in God's hands, so to speak, every time I go flying.
I put my ass in the ejection seat and my life in my own hands.
And I put a lot of faith in that.
Being around secular people, like, they're good people too.
They made me open my eyes and say, "oh look, they're just like me.
" And there goes, movie stops, evening prayer.
Pause it so you don't miss anything.
"Basic instinct.
" And Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas, it was in the middle of this raunchy, uh, sex scene, and it just interrupted for evening prayer.
And you know, it comes on, "good evening, my Nimitz family! This is Brian Jacobson, your air wing chaplain.
" And we're thinking, "what the?" Good evening, my Nimitz family, this is your air wing chaplain, Brian Jacobson.
God, it is often hard to get adequate rest when the days at sea are long and laborious.
I call upon you to grant those not I think evening prayer I don't think that's right.
I don't think they should do it.
I don't think it's right for the people who are not religious.
It don't really bother me that much.
It bothers me more in the sense that it bothers other people.
One of my atheist friends who, every time the prayer goes on, he gets really mad and he says something about it.
He's like, "why are they forcing this upon me?" Guard and guide all those who fly through the great spaces in the sky.
I think it's an important part of the evening.
I mean, even for a guy that's not religious.
If you actually stop and just stop for a couple of minutes and listen to him, he's always a real soothing voice, and he just kind of calms you down.
Comfort them with your loving presence.
Heal their bodies and encourage their spirits.
I wouldn't say that I'm a religious person, per Se.
I am not that religious.
No, I'm not religious.
Lord, it is nights like tonight that we remember our families at home.
Sometimes, they send their prayers out to like the reactor department, and I'm like, what, why would you send a prayer out to just one department? It doesn't bother me Not in the least.
It just seems sometimes that, yeah, this boat is mainly Christian.
Upon our flight ops this night.
Lord, you know that we have a mission to carry out do I think of ourselves as Christian soldiers? I, yeah, we are, in a way.
Do I think we're imposing Christianity into the Middle East, or anything like that? Uh, no, I don't.
I think we're imposing our culture more, which incorporates Christianity but incorporates McDonald's a little bit more.
We have been asked for Islamic services.
We have some people, but we're trying to get a lay leader, an individual lay leader as an individual to step forth and lead it.
The issue is that in many religious traditions, they're not accustomed to lay persons leading worship.
Well, it's the chaplain's job to make sure that I conduct the service in the way of a lay leader.
I have to make sure that I distinguish the difference between teaching and preaching.
And the Bible switches very swiftly, and it goes down in verse 25 to a whole different scenario and it's I'm a-b-h-a-m brown.
I'm appointed lay leader.
I represent my church body, the Pentecostal service on board the ship every Sunday at 1500.
Then the Bible said that there was a woman that had an issue of blood for twelve years.
And the thing with the book of Leviticus 15:25, and it says that if a woman had an issue of blood, she was clean and she was supposed to be away from people, according to the Levitical law.
So the thing she realized is that she knew the law, and she said, "I can't touch him physically because I'm unclean.
But if I could just touch the hem of his garment, I could pull virtue.
" God is saying, "I want people that's going to press for me.
" She said, "if I could just touch the hem of his garment.
" How many people that believe that mentality if I could just touch the hem of his garment, I will be made whole? God is looking for garment touchers, because when you press after God, you begin to search for something from God.
The Bible says he turned around, and he said, "who touched me?" And then the disciples were like, "Jesus, what's wrong with you? You got so many people around you," huh? "People are thronged around you," huh! "People are touching you all over," huh! "But you're talking about one particular touch," huh! So when you begin to seek God, huh, you begin to realize what worship is.
You got the power to excel.
You got the power to leap.
You got the power to fight.
But God say your action, your action speaks louder than your words.
Christ the Savior I surrender it all A lot of people become depressed at times because six months of their life is away from their family.
It's like they're missing a part of life for six months.
That's why we come and we praise God in this way that we do, because it's a way to give us hope and help give us strength for what is to come.
In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen.
I'm kind of nervous about leaving, but I'm definitely looking forward to it.
I'm going to be out of the Navy.
Umm, it smells good in here.
I'm only 22.
So four years is a pretty big chunk in my life.
Hi.
Hello.
I'm here to sign my I'm out on the 5th of October.
Just I'm "finito".
No more.
What kind of a discharge did I get? Honorable.
Honorable.
I think that's the discharge that everybody aims for.
You do your four years, you do, but some people don't.
Yeah, I'm surprised I made it four years, actually.
It's one of the happiest days of my life.
It feels like a huge boulder is just taken off of my chest and my shoulders, and my head and the rest of my body.
Like I was almost under a rock for the past four years.
You don't want to stick in for just a little bit longer? You're gonna miss Brisbane.
I'm so sick and tired You're gonna see Perth for like a day.
I'm so full of the Navy, dude, I cannot stand any more.
Why are you putting on a tie with it? Let's see Looks good, man.
Looking ridiculous I mean, you're going back to see your friends, all right.
What are you wearing all that get-up for? I want to look nice! For what, though? For the main event.
What main event? Me coming back to San Diego.
Who's gonna be there to greet you? Eh, Tye and family, or his family, and That's about it.
This is a drill.
Looks like those Brady bunch's countertop color, in their kitchen.
You kinda look like Alice a little bit Alice? The housekeeper? With that hair Need a little flip.
I still say you should stay for another month, you know.
I know, I know! Now I don't have a Like I'm really from the fifties.
I guess.
Hey, you still got the butterflies in your stomach about leaving? They're starting to go away.
I'm starting to realize that I'm gonna be fine when I get out there.
People are leaving like I've worked in the civilian world, it's no joke.
You know what I mean? I mean, I'm 23 most of the people that say that, they're like first class chiefs.
They've came in when they were like 17.
Yeah, and they've been in for, like, 30 years.
So how the hell are they gonna know? I worked at a hospital for seven years.
It wasn't that hard to get a job, you know, and support myself.
Yeah.
So what do you think, man? Yeah, that looks a lot better, man.
It looks a lot better.
Would it look better tucked in, though? Why do you tuck it in all the time, anyways? Because my parents made me do that when I went to school every day.
So did mine, but I obviously grew out of it.
Became a rebel and stopped doing it.
I cannot.
I just As soon as I put a shirt on, I'm like, man, I've got to tuck that [Beep.]
in.
I look terrible without it, or, you know, with it untucked.
I hate that, dude.
I have a whole untucked series.
Christian Garzone untucked.
What are you going to do, interview people with your shirt untucked? Yeah.
Whoa, I need one of those.
Yeah, it's like Christmas all over again.
That's awesome.
Send you all of those chewy Werther's? What? Those are chewy Werther's.
Oh, [Beep.]
.
You got to give me like a handful, man.
Ohhhh Gold.
Gold.
Jumbo cashews.
Jews love Jews love cashews.
Yes, Jews love cashews.
It makes a gigantic difference when you're in the military, and you find someone, a friend, that you can tell him things that you wouldn't tell other people.
Dude, I got dust all over me.
From those Yeah.
I can feel it on my skin, man.
They stay by you, even when you're at your lowest.
And, you know, in exchange, I'm gonna be there to help him just because, I mean, he's such a good person.
We're going to leave real early in the morning, and we're going to go check in to a room.
Probably eat some lunch, drink a little bit, and then we're gonna go straight to the gravity games.
Yeah, you're going to love gravity games.
In Australia.
Even though it's not one of our favorite bands Yeah, we're going to have a good time.
That's going to be awesome.
Tomorrow, while I'm on duty, I'm either going to call Tanya from the boat, or I might just wait until we get to the hotel, 'cause I do have that calling card, with all the thirty hours for sixteen bucks.
Everyone's talking about how big Australia is going to be.
Saying it's going to be biblical, and I can only imagine the [Beep.]
I'll see there.
But, at that point, what the hell do I got? Three, four weeks left? I don't even look at porn anymore.
It just, it kills me.
It's been so long.
Being in the military makes you so patriotic and thankful for our country seeing other countries and how other people live, and how good we have it in America makes you totally patriotic, more than anything.
You know, I've always, since I was little, just looked up at the flag.
Felt strongly.
I think the Monday night that I get back, I'm going to go to Hooters and watch the game.
Maybe enjoy like a pitcher of beer or something.
Yeah? Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
Hey, I bet they've got a lot of trash at Hooters.
Speaking of which, wanna help me take out trash? Uh I've got to go back there anyways.
You want to help me take a couple bags? Yeah eh I'm I've got three days left in the Navy.
Oh come on, man.
It's just quick.
And here I am, taking out trash with you.
So what, man? Be like old times.
All right, let's do it.
You didn't tell me you got the whole trash trip back here.
You take the dunnage, I'll take the flat.
Hold on, I got to get the trash holder.
Is it separated? That's just dunnage.
That just all goes in one bag.
What Cd is this? I don't know what Cd it is.
Really have no idea.
All I want is just get the trash inside of it.
All right.
Is this the only bag then? That's yeah, I guess.
Oh, man.
But in the name of Jesus, o God, bless the war in Iraq, o God, in Iran, o God.
The war against terrorism, o God.
Lord, in the name of Jesus, the innocent people that we have over there in our armed forces that are dying, vainly, o God.
We have like a little prayer group together.
When we get there, we pray, we read the Bible.
I find that it's very helpful.
Majority of the ship is like atheist.
Lot of people, they have no morals.
No sign of God.
Majority.
I grew up pretty hard.
That's the reason I'm here now.
My family is eating well, you know.
Me and my wife came from nothing We met in a homeless shelter To now.
What we're doing in other countries Bombing Iraq, things like that, it kinda makes me feel like I'm going against my own morals.
We're no better than those other countries.
We got just as much murders, just as much raping, killing, hate crimes.
My opinion is president Bush uses God just to make himself look good.
Heard the Bible say, ha.
That joy, huh, comes in the morning, huh.
Let somebody clap your hands in here, and give God some praise, huh.
Tell your neighbor, huh.
I'm going higher, huh.
Take me higher, huh.
I might as well preach, huh.
I'm about to bring you out, huh.
With a new annointing, huh.
In the middle of the storm.
Clap your hands.
Clap your hands.
But you know, when I come out, I'm not going to come out alone.
I'm going to bring my sister with me.
You come out, I come out along with you, huh.

You comin' out along with me.
Touchin' everythin', bring somebody else out along with you.

She's breaking right now.
Oh, break it right now in the name of Jesus.
Break it right now in the name of Oh, sha-DA-DA sha-DA-DA.
You better break it in the name of Jesus.
You better break it in the name of everything that's Holy.
Blessed savior I surrender If you're used to growing up in a Pentecostal church, when you feel God in the midst, you just want to get excited because he's there.
If you grew up like that, that's how you know to worship God.
They don't want people looking at them like they're crazy or something is wrong, and they need to go to medical.
It's like you feel the spirit of God just flowing into you.
It's so spiritual.
It feels so great, because like, you're just relieving all of your troubles, all of your pain, and you're just giving it to God, saying, "here, I don't want it anymore.
Like, I don't want to fight this battle.
" Some people, they felt like they were just floating on air.
Hallelujah it's a good way to relieve all your troubles that you're going through.
Our father.
If you're happy about Jesus, clap your hands right here.
Sucks that you're going, bro.
Trust me, you can live without me.

Just soak up every minute and our time will surely come like fireflies returning to the star we all came from yeah, we could meet did you get one these right when you walked off?

We're going to see everything that Perth has to offer, in terms of architectural beauty, cultural beauty.
Hopefully run into a few aboriginals.
Your country's foreign policies, I think, are atrocious.
And now, I think, unfortunately, ours are now following that same path, which is hideous because we're antagonizing a country which is like ridiculously close to us, and they hate us.
Obviously, there was a massive bombing in Bali again.
Injured and maimed and killed.
But we need to be a little more sensible with that, and not ally ourselves with people that are actually very far away.
As Australians, we're lovers, not fighters.
Exactly.
I've noticed that.
So dingoes do not lay eggs, right? No? Oh! Wrap your as right around him Just hold him like holding a baby.
Both arms together.
Oh, she looks thrilled to be here.
Wow, so what time do you get off tonight? Are you serious? What time do you get off? I get off at twelve o'clock.
Ooh, that's the time I got to be back at the ship.
I'll see you later then.
Ok, catch ya.
Bye, bye.
Catch you later.
This is like Bourbon Street, man.
The way I stay ashore is, I stay in my word, and on top of that, I know the consequences.
When God comes back, I'm trying to go out with him.
I'm not trying to, God comes back to snatch up his people and there I am, stuck, looking like, "'damn, I missed the rapture!" What's up, ladies? How you doing? What's up? I'm Will.
How you doing? Hi.
I'm Will.
How you doing? I'm Will.
Hello.
How you doing? We're here in Perth, Australia, and we're saying goodbye to a very close friend, someone who has been a part of the naval confession series for, I think, two films now.
Maybe three.
Uh, Philip Mager.
Wow, man, this guy's cool, I'm cool; Together, we make an awesome team.
Like Laurel and Hardy.
Phil is my best friend on the ship, and he's leaving.
I'm, uh, trying to find the tears for the camera, but they're just not coming.
It's been my pleasure with working with you.
I mean, wow, so much I've learned, so much I have to learn, so much you haven't taught me.
Tonight, we're just gonna say goodbye to him, we're gonna have a few drinks, and maybe hit up a casino or so.
But, uh, tonight is Phil's night.
Thanks, man.
Don't even act like you were gonna do that first, 'cause I, as soon as I started pulling back, you're like, "oh, [Beep.]
!" It's been good, man.
We were saying our goodbyes in the bar, and Phil's like, "yeah, I have to go to the bathroom.
I'll be right back, guys.
" Oh, damn it, man.
And we waited for about ten minutes, and some other gentleman came over and said, "Mr.
Mager has gone to the casino.
He'll be back momentarily.
" So we waited for another like, half hour, and then, we went to the casino, to the poker tables, to look for him, and he had just vanished.
He was gone.
We might as well fly a black flag for him because, I mean, no one's heard from him.
I mean, he's just gone from the face of the earth, I guess.
Like Jimmy Hoffa.
You ditched me.
I did not ditch you.
Yeah, we'll talk about this later.
I was gonna Jimmy superfly you.
We're We'll talk about this later.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm unhappy.

Ok.

It's Chardonnay.
So it's got that lovely buttery, warm toasty character.
You promise? 'Cause I know buttery.
Ok, so what do you think? Fully fermented in new French grape barrels.
This one might be a hit.
It's our 2003 premium Shiraz.
This one spends ten months in American oak barrels.
Your mission accomplishment far, far exceeds and because your professionalism Are you guys gonna make love? No.
'Cause I want to watch.
I mean, we might.
You got to carry it.

You know, I'm trying to make it to San Diego.
How long has it been since you had some fun? Yo, it's work, work, work, work, work.
Work, work, work, work, work.
Would it be worth it to make Willie stay later than midnight? Hang out and go dancing and have fun? You think that'd be worth it for him? Well, it depends what the [Beep.]
punishment's like these days.
Stuff fell down; you know what I'm saying? I slipped and fell.
I was playing in the devil's territory.
And I lost.
I lost the battle.
She started kissing me.
She started kissing my spot on my neck.
Once she did that, oh man, it was, it was all over.
All over.
Dark night of my soul I've been faced with many choices in my life and I have known I've known the misery the misery I have mistaken I have mistaken, mistaken shadowy voices yeah for the heavenly heavenly heavenly the heavenly ministry oh on the dark night yeah of my soul why don't you help me out? She comes up to me, she's like, "hey, buy me a drink!" I look at her like, "I ain't buying " I'm telling her, no, I'm not buying you nothing.

Black swans I ain't never seen them until I saw the card Really black swans.

And it it leaves a stain.
You really zealous right now, so everybody looking at you like, "oh man, he talking about God all the time.

Yeah.
But the best thing about it is, I got back up and I repented; You know what I'm sayin'? For my sins, I asked God for forgiveness; you know what I'm saying? And God is a loving God.
So my sin's been wiped away.
I tell you one more time just hold out your hand and God will understand that I'm searching for my way back home you doing all right? I'm doing real good, but I'm getting over Australia, you know? I told my mom about Australia.

I said what I believe in my soul and what I see with my eyes and we can't turn our backs this time I am a patriot and I love my country I have faith and trust in our leadership, in our government and the decision makers, that they're making good decisions, and that they're sending me into harm's way with valid reasons.
Against all enemies against all enemies Foreign and domestic Foreign and domestic That I will bear true faith.
I'm very patriotic.
I do this for God and country, and I always say "God" and they look at me.
They don't see me as a very religious person.
But I do.
I do this for God and country.
I am a patriot and I love my country because my country is all I know I don't spend a great deal of time thinking why the Bush Administration sent us into Iraq.
I believe in God.
I believe we're supposed to be here.
That I will obey the orders.
Of the president of the United States.
When the president decides it's time to defend our national interest, I don't think you'll find a pilot around that isn't ready to do everything he can to support that mission.

Maintain silence in the vicinity of the ship's chapel.
Gonna trouble the water You get out in the sea, and you look 360 degrees, and you see nothing but water, it puts things in another perspective.
Wade in the water When sailors see the power of the sea, and when we get into the storm, and they see the power of the sea, they suddenly realize how very small and relatively insignificant we human beings are.
Wade in the water Being out to sea is like being in the wilderness because you're out in the middle of the ocean, almost in the middle of nowhere.
You can be around thousands of people and still feel lonely.
And that's the perfect opportunity to build your relationship with the Lord.
Dressed in white Wade in the water prayer in five must be the children of the Good evening, my Nimitz family.
This is your air wing chaplain, Brian Jacobson.
Because we're here for six months or more, we have a captive audience.
Lord, you know that we have a mission to carry out, and we ask your blessing of safety upon each individual.
Our shipboard life is a real melting pot of individuals.
So sailors are beginning to hear about other people's religious traditions, things they believe or things they don't understand, and that leads them to ask questions.
But like Adam and Eve are before Christ? Yes, the beginning.
You know Genesis? You ever heard of that? I have heard of it.
T's like the beginning of time.
That's where it says, on the sixth day, God made Yeah, and let there be light.
Yeah.
May this body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ keep us all close to him.
My name is Father Bob Keane.
I'm a catholic priest of the Jesuit order.
My responsibility is to supervise and provide all of the religious ministry that takes place aboard this ship.
We do have good attendance aboard services.
Of course, we'd always like to have more.
My name is Brian Jacobson.
I'm the chaplain for carrier air wing eleven, and my job is to provide religious support to the entire air wing.
The Protestant service that I'm in charge of is a contemporary praise and worship service.
Is there any prayer request tonight? Uh, my sister-in-law Trying to adopt for a really long time, and praying really hard about it for a really long time, and lots of ups and downs with that.
But she finally got a baby It's all permanent.
She's a mother.
So praise God for answered prayers.
Now is the time to worship In reality, the job of a chaplain is to protect the first amendment rights for everybody.
And you start thinking about all the different religious faiths that are on board the "Nimitz," and it's spectacular.
Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you, Jesus.
We have three different types of protestant faiths I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Hallelujah! Thank you, Lord! Latter Day Saints, Catholic.
There's a small coven of Wiccans on board.
The council of American witches finds it necessary to define modern witchcraft in terms of the American experience and needs.
We do not want to open ourselves to the destruction of our group by those on self-serving power trips.
Wicca is part of paganism, which is the belief in many different Gods.
And it'll surprise people.
They're like, I thought all witches wore black and were always unhappy.
We also believe in the rule of three, which is, you put good stuff out there, you'll get it back threefold.
You put bad stuff out there, you get it back threefold.
Kind of like karma.
I think I'm one of the only Jews on the boat, maybe.
I found one more, and that's only because I was lucky and he happened to realize that my name was a Jewish name.
That's why I don't like taking communion because I don't think I've been baptized; I don't know if I have or not.
No, you're not supposed to take it unless you're catholic, so I'm catholic! Oh, you are? Ok, then you had to be baptized.
But see, I don't know.
I don't think I was.
There is, your dad and ask him.
In the berthing areas, in the workspaces, surprisingly a great deal of discussion that goes on.
It might not be heavy, overt theological language, but that's exactly what they're doing.
Hey, was you ever at a muster when the oho was like, "pray to God we kill somebody"? Oh, no.
And we was all looking at him funny? I guess it was his talk before we got in the Gulf and stuff.
Trying to give us like, inspiration, and he was like, "let's kill whoever we need to kill.
Let's do it with pride.
Remember, you're out here defending America.
" Then I thought about it.
It's like fifty percent of America that's actually like don't want us out here.
And I raised my hand and I said, "why are you so big on killing people?" And he was like, "well, people in Iraq, they like, they killed our men and the marines that are out there right now, they're cutting their heads off, and they're taping it and acting like everything's all fun and things.
It's like, if they do anything to us, I want to get back at them three times harder.
" Then he looked at everybody and he was like, "are you guys with me? Let's pray to God that we kill somebody.
" Occasionally, there are some who have become aware of what seems to be a conflict of conscience, and that is something that they want to talk about, and chaplains are good people to do that with, if from only one perspective in that their conversation with us is confidential.
I thank God for coming to the Navy, because if I wouldn't have come to the Navy, I'd probably be dead, yeah.
I grew up in boot camp, 'cause before I went, I was still a child, you know, acting like a child.
I was out of High School though.
But I was still acting like a child, gangs a stuff like that.
I was getting threats.
What really got my mom is, I got jumped.
I got jumped by twenty dudes.
My mom is like, "yo, get out of the house now.
You're going to a recruiter right now.
You're signing up for whatever job they got that's leaving out right now.
" Nobody wants to help me help me paint the wall paint the wall The first time I saw Willie Johnson, I said to myself, "oh my gosh, he is so hot!" I can't believe I just said that! I could be all by myself though talking to a girl hanging with the homies but now, I'm here working hard Once he, like, sings or whatever, it just like melts you away.
Getting paint all over my pants who's gonna pay for my pants? Nobody At first, he said he wanted to be like, a stripper.
So I thought that was like, kind of outrageous.
But then, like, after a while, he was just like, "well, I want to be a singer.
" And I'm like, "OK, well, that's good, 'cause you have a good voice.
" And then, like a couple of weeks later, he was like, "well, you know what? I want to sing for God.
" When I close my eyes and I think of all those times that you brought me through I can never stop praising you before I came to the Navy, I wasn't saved.
I knew about things of God.
You know, I went to church all my life.
God you're ready for me and my family but I wasn't trying to live right.
I was pushing God away.
God, get out of my face.
Man, I want to do my own thing.
We lift our hands in the sanctuary we lift our hands God spoke through my friend, my boy Tate.
He's a choir director, the one that plays piano.
He says, "all I see is your spirit.
I don't see no bones, I don't see no muscles, I don't see nothing.
" He said, "all I see is your spirit, and I see God just knocking at your door, asking you to come in.
Knocking.
" Bow your heads.
Close your eyes.
Dear heavenly father, we ask you right now to forgive us of every wrong that we've done so far.
God delivered me from the club, he delivered me from smoking, from porno.
You know what I'm saying? I was hooked on it.
I ain't gonna sit here and lie in front of all of you.
You know what I'm saying? And whatever you do, don't take your Holy spirit away from us.
I ain't no virgin.
But I don't want to burn for a couple of minutes of fun, you know? Ain't no girl on this earth right now that could really come upon me and be like, "yo, Johnson, yo, let's go have sex!" And would make me really be like, "yeah, let's go, let's go right now!" Right there, you know? Bless every member on board from the Captain to the lowest e-1, God There's no girl, 'cause the Bible says, they drip with honey, their words are slick with oil, but they're poison.
I believe in God.
I believe that he's watching over us and that he's keeping us safe.
I believe in myself, I believe in my family, and I believe in the good Lord.
You have faith in your knowledge and in who you're flying with.
I don't fear anything about flying.
I believe all things happen for a reason.
And, uh, through my faith in God, it's not something I think about.
And I think if you did think about that, it would be, it'd be very difficult to do your job 100 percent.
My biggest fear up there is the arresting wire.
I hate those things.
All by myself, actually standing up there, and I'll think about just the fact that I've made it through part of the day, and I'll start thinking about, you know, all right, I've done good so far, keep your head on a swivel, stay up.
You know, not being even very religious, I'll kind of pray to myself that, you know, nothing happens, you know, with anybody on the flight deck.
And the phones are down.
And the phones are down.
And the phones are down.
Stay in touch with family and friends using AT&T direct ocean service.
Yeah, whenever it works.
Remember, I told you I called her, and she was sleeping, and she answered the phone, and she was like, "hello?" And she said, "did I call you?" Yeah.
And I was like and you know how I Wait a minute.
You know how I think too.
So I was like, hold on.
I was like hold up, how would I call you? You know I can't call you.
And I was like, "do you even know who this is?" And she said, "no.
" That's just strange, 'cause she's never been like that.
So I was like, "well, who've you been calling all the time that you would mistake, you know, for me?" I'm afraid Tanya's just Once the whole baby's over and I come home, I'm just afraid that she'll kind of go and do her own thing again.
Well, it's probably my fault.
But right before I left, before I even knew she was pregnant, we were never really like always together.
I didn't want it to come to the point where I fell in love and then had to leave for six months.
You know, just because of how hard it is.
I mean, it's horrible.
And then, you know, "hey, I'm pregnant.
" I care for her a whole lot, and I want to be with her.
I don't know if I could say I love her yet though.
You are my friend I know I can count you in Some days, the ship just sucks you dry.
You feel like you have nothing.
But as long as you have like those two good friends, it keeps you going.
And it's you that gets me through the day Me and my friends? Oh, well, we start it off by venting.
We always have to have that vent session.
Kind of get everything out.
It's you that makes me feel this way and I need it My friendship with Dell, my XO, it's a good one.
Dell and I are very similar.
We do a lot of the same things.
Our kids are the same age.
We both married girls from High School.
He's great to have around.
He's a lot of fun.
He keeps me out of trouble.
We're sailing out to an ocean of mystery My friends are awesome.
I love my friends.
They're a lot like me, 'cause most of them are southerners.
There isn't a better guy in the Navy right here.
I have come to have more friends here in the Navy than I had back home because some of the stuff that you're involved with back home everybody don't live a perfect life, and I realize that most of the friends I have back home wasn't really true friends at all.
I feel like I've known Susan my whole life.
And the thing is, I've never met Susan before.
She's been a true friend, and I I do have to say, as far as the emotional side, Sue has seen it, and I've also seen hers.
Tate, you know, that's my brother in the Lord; you know what I'm saying? So that's my brother I tell him everything.
And my brother, he loves me no matter what.
You know what I'm saying? Even if I told God, "God, I don't want to talk to you no more.
" I mean, if I were to do my own thing, he would still be there for me.
But that's a brother.
That's a real brother for you.
It's you that helps me through the day it's you that takes me far away it's you that makes me feel this way when I need it yeah Primary rule of foc'sle etiquette is, you never step over the anchor chain.
Please try to remember that.
That's a safety issue.
The foc'sle is an area in the ship where the anchor chains come up out of their lockers, and we get to make it our chapel on Sundays.
But it is right underneath the flight deck, and right underneath catapult one and two.
We come to walk in the light of one faith, in one communion of love.
So my sermon is frequently peppered by an F-18, or a Prowler being shot down the catapult.
Please be seated.
We all accept that.
It doesn't startle us too much anymore.
In those days, the Israelites came down to the desert of Sinai and pitched camp.
I have a strong faith background.
I'm one of those creationist people.
I'm not nutty about it.
I don't I don't wear t-shirts that say "walk for life" and walk around town and do all that other stuff.
But I have I have my personal beliefs.
I've been talking to Father Keane lately.
He seems to think that I would make a good catholic priest.
You want them all, but you can't have them all.
Right.
If you were to become a priest, in the Roman church, priests are celibate.
They're not married.
On the other hand, like many people, you may wish to marry and have a family.
Right.
Well, there's two very good things that you might want, but they're mutually exclusive.
Would that appeal to you? No.
No, that's actually far away from the life I expect to have.
I mean, I figure that the jewels I have are meant to be used, you know? Not just to sit idle, you know? I mean, my parts all work and they're good to go.
I mean, you know what I mean? Did you do a functional check last night? A couple of times a day, just to make sure, you know? But I mean, besides the unusual discharges I have, and the rashes all over.
I mean I'm kidding about that.
Keep your volume up even though the intonation goes down.
Ok, let me try that one more time.
Mm-hmm.
I will await your return.
Like that? I will await your return.
Father Keane's told me, in order to become a priest, you have to work on your voice.
'Cause you know, the way I'm speaking right now is the way I speak to anyone.
Very fast, very, you know, laid back, very sans culottes.
So he told me that you have to Project your voice and deepen it.
Know that the Lord is God; he made us.
His we are.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.
You know, something like that, like a James Earl Jones, almost.
This is a drill! This is a drill! General quarters, general quarters! All hands, man your battle stations! General quarters is like the ship's under attack.
It's just a drill.
We over-practice it though.
That's the problem.
That is heavy.
That's a saw? This is medical.
Head torch.
Ain't this for the jubilee patch right here? No, the jubilee's a big ol' giant metal patch.
The jubilee patch is the most exciting patch there is.
I know queen Elizabeth just had her golden jubilee.
What is a door stop doing in the bag? That's not a door stop.
Oh, it's not a door stop? Everybody else, keep your mouth shut and listen up.
Fun's over with, OK? If you think this is funny, it's not funny.
You two guys come on up here.
I want you to walk through what you're gonna do if you have a pipe with a two-inch crack in it.
Can you guys walk me through a crack? We met close to a year ago.
I was taking out trash one day.
Ironically, I was working in the trash room and I wouldn't accept his trash.
Phil said, "hey, we're not taking plastics today.
" 'Cause I had a bag of plastics I really had to get rid of.
And he just like threw it down on the ground and left it.
And I walked away and he goes, "oh, oh, petty officer! Petty officer! He just left a bag of plastic over there!" And I kind of disagreed with that.
I hear, "shipmate! Get back here! Excuse me, shipmate, you left a bag of plastic over there and we're not taking plastics 'til, you know, for two more weeks!" And I, he just bitched me out.
I grabbed the bag of plastic back.
You know, I went like this to Phil.
You know, flicked him off.
You have a two-inch crack.
Let's put something in it! All right, so we'll find the right size wedge.
About two weeks later, I saw him on the flight deck and he was talking to a friend like, whispering, like, "hey, you see that guy over there? He tried to dump a bag of plastics on me the other day.
" I walked, I said, "you know what?" And I started, you know, we got into it a little bit, and then we started laughing about it, and we just kind of became good friends after that.
'Cause we have, let's say, a five-inch crack.
So a wedge might fit all the way through it.
We're a lot alike in a lot of ways.
He's almost the complete opposite of me kind of.
Well, not complete opposite.
We both have like, problems paying attention to things.
Hey, what am I gonna do now, guys? Hey, what am I gonna do after I pull 'em out in that mark? We're both very sarcastic about things.
We're always making smart comments and getting in trouble.
What other patch can I utilize? Nicotine patch.
Nicotine patch.
Nicotine.
What's that? I believe in hard work.
Hard work gets you where you need to be.
I believe in peace.
That's all I promote.
Peace and happiness.
I don't put my life in God's hands, so to speak, every time I go flying.
I put my ass in the ejection seat and my life in my own hands.
And I put a lot of faith in that.
Being around secular people, like, they're good people too.
They made me open my eyes and say, "oh look, they're just like me.
" And there goes, movie stops, evening prayer.
Pause it so you don't miss anything.
"Basic instinct.
" And Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas, it was in the middle of this raunchy, uh, sex scene, and it just interrupted for evening prayer.
And you know, it comes on, "good evening, my Nimitz family! This is Brian Jacobson, your air wing chaplain.
" And we're thinking, "what the?" Good evening, my Nimitz family, this is your air wing chaplain, Brian Jacobson.
God, it is often hard to get adequate rest when the days at sea are long and laborious.
I call upon you to grant those not I think evening prayer I don't think that's right.
I don't think they should do it.
I don't think it's right for the people who are not religious.
It don't really bother me that much.
It bothers me more in the sense that it bothers other people.
One of my atheist friends who, every time the prayer goes on, he gets really mad and he says something about it.
He's like, "why are they forcing this upon me?" Guard and guide all those who fly through the great spaces in the sky.
I think it's an important part of the evening.
I mean, even for a guy that's not religious.
If you actually stop and just stop for a couple of minutes and listen to him, he's always a real soothing voice, and he just kind of calms you down.
Comfort them with your loving presence.
Heal their bodies and encourage their spirits.
I wouldn't say that I'm a religious person, per Se.
I am not that religious.
No, I'm not religious.
Lord, it is nights like tonight that we remember our families at home.
Sometimes, they send their prayers out to like the reactor department, and I'm like, what, why would you send a prayer out to just one department? It doesn't bother me Not in the least.
It just seems sometimes that, yeah, this boat is mainly Christian.
Upon our flight ops this night.
Lord, you know that we have a mission to carry out do I think of ourselves as Christian soldiers? I, yeah, we are, in a way.
Do I think we're imposing Christianity into the Middle East, or anything like that? Uh, no, I don't.
I think we're imposing our culture more, which incorporates Christianity but incorporates McDonald's a little bit more.
We have been asked for Islamic services.
We have some people, but we're trying to get a lay leader, an individual lay leader as an individual to step forth and lead it.
The issue is that in many religious traditions, they're not accustomed to lay persons leading worship.
Well, it's the chaplain's job to make sure that I conduct the service in the way of a lay leader.
I have to make sure that I distinguish the difference between teaching and preaching.
And the Bible switches very swiftly, and it goes down in verse 25 to a whole different scenario and it's I'm a-b-h-a-m brown.
I'm appointed lay leader.
I represent my church body, the Pentecostal service on board the ship every Sunday at 1500.
Then the Bible said that there was a woman that had an issue of blood for twelve years.
And the thing with the book of Leviticus 15:25, and it says that if a woman had an issue of blood, she was clean and she was supposed to be away from people, according to the Levitical law.
So the thing she realized is that she knew the law, and she said, "I can't touch him physically because I'm unclean.
But if I could just touch the hem of his garment, I could pull virtue.
" God is saying, "I want people that's going to press for me.
" She said, "if I could just touch the hem of his garment.
" How many people that believe that mentality if I could just touch the hem of his garment, I will be made whole? God is looking for garment touchers, because when you press after God, you begin to search for something from God.
The Bible says he turned around, and he said, "who touched me?" And then the disciples were like, "Jesus, what's wrong with you? You got so many people around you," huh? "People are thronged around you," huh! "People are touching you all over," huh! "But you're talking about one particular touch," huh! So when you begin to seek God, huh, you begin to realize what worship is.
You got the power to excel.
You got the power to leap.
You got the power to fight.
But God say your action, your action speaks louder than your words.
Christ the Savior I surrender it all A lot of people become depressed at times because six months of their life is away from their family.
It's like they're missing a part of life for six months.
That's why we come and we praise God in this way that we do, because it's a way to give us hope and help give us strength for what is to come.
In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen.
I'm kind of nervous about leaving, but I'm definitely looking forward to it.
I'm going to be out of the Navy.
Umm, it smells good in here.
I'm only 22.
So four years is a pretty big chunk in my life.
Hi.
Hello.
I'm here to sign my I'm out on the 5th of October.
Just I'm "finito".
No more.
What kind of a discharge did I get? Honorable.
Honorable.
I think that's the discharge that everybody aims for.
You do your four years, you do, but some people don't.
Yeah, I'm surprised I made it four years, actually.
It's one of the happiest days of my life.
It feels like a huge boulder is just taken off of my chest and my shoulders, and my head and the rest of my body.
Like I was almost under a rock for the past four years.
You don't want to stick in for just a little bit longer? You're gonna miss Brisbane.
I'm so sick and tired You're gonna see Perth for like a day.
I'm so full of the Navy, dude, I cannot stand any more.
Why are you putting on a tie with it? Let's see Looks good, man.
Looking ridiculous I mean, you're going back to see your friends, all right.
What are you wearing all that get-up for? I want to look nice! For what, though? For the main event.
What main event? Me coming back to San Diego.
Who's gonna be there to greet you? Eh, Tye and family, or his family, and That's about it.
This is a drill.
Looks like those Brady bunch's countertop color, in their kitchen.
You kinda look like Alice a little bit Alice? The housekeeper? With that hair Need a little flip.
I still say you should stay for another month, you know.
I know, I know! Now I don't have a Like I'm really from the fifties.
I guess.
Hey, you still got the butterflies in your stomach about leaving? They're starting to go away.
I'm starting to realize that I'm gonna be fine when I get out there.
People are leaving like I've worked in the civilian world, it's no joke.
You know what I mean? I mean, I'm 23 most of the people that say that, they're like first class chiefs.
They've came in when they were like 17.
Yeah, and they've been in for, like, 30 years.
So how the hell are they gonna know? I worked at a hospital for seven years.
It wasn't that hard to get a job, you know, and support myself.
Yeah.
So what do you think, man? Yeah, that looks a lot better, man.
It looks a lot better.
Would it look better tucked in, though? Why do you tuck it in all the time, anyways? Because my parents made me do that when I went to school every day.
So did mine, but I obviously grew out of it.
Became a rebel and stopped doing it.
I cannot.
I just As soon as I put a shirt on, I'm like, man, I've got to tuck that [Beep.]
in.
I look terrible without it, or, you know, with it untucked.
I hate that, dude.
I have a whole untucked series.
Christian Garzone untucked.
What are you going to do, interview people with your shirt untucked? Yeah.
Whoa, I need one of those.
Yeah, it's like Christmas all over again.
That's awesome.
Send you all of those chewy Werther's? What? Those are chewy Werther's.
Oh, [Beep.]
.
You got to give me like a handful, man.
Ohhhh Gold.
Gold.
Jumbo cashews.
Jews love Jews love cashews.
Yes, Jews love cashews.
It makes a gigantic difference when you're in the military, and you find someone, a friend, that you can tell him things that you wouldn't tell other people.
Dude, I got dust all over me.
From those Yeah.
I can feel it on my skin, man.
They stay by you, even when you're at your lowest.
And, you know, in exchange, I'm gonna be there to help him just because, I mean, he's such a good person.
We're going to leave real early in the morning, and we're going to go check in to a room.
Probably eat some lunch, drink a little bit, and then we're gonna go straight to the gravity games.
Yeah, you're going to love gravity games.
In Australia.
Even though it's not one of our favorite bands Yeah, we're going to have a good time.
That's going to be awesome.
Tomorrow, while I'm on duty, I'm either going to call Tanya from the boat, or I might just wait until we get to the hotel, 'cause I do have that calling card, with all the thirty hours for sixteen bucks.
Everyone's talking about how big Australia is going to be.
Saying it's going to be biblical, and I can only imagine the [Beep.]
I'll see there.
But, at that point, what the hell do I got? Three, four weeks left? I don't even look at porn anymore.
It just, it kills me.
It's been so long.
Being in the military makes you so patriotic and thankful for our country seeing other countries and how other people live, and how good we have it in America makes you totally patriotic, more than anything.
You know, I've always, since I was little, just looked up at the flag.
Felt strongly.
I think the Monday night that I get back, I'm going to go to Hooters and watch the game.
Maybe enjoy like a pitcher of beer or something.
Yeah? Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
Hey, I bet they've got a lot of trash at Hooters.
Speaking of which, wanna help me take out trash? Uh I've got to go back there anyways.
You want to help me take a couple bags? Yeah eh I'm I've got three days left in the Navy.
Oh come on, man.
It's just quick.
And here I am, taking out trash with you.
So what, man? Be like old times.
All right, let's do it.
You didn't tell me you got the whole trash trip back here.
You take the dunnage, I'll take the flat.
Hold on, I got to get the trash holder.
Is it separated? That's just dunnage.
That just all goes in one bag.
What Cd is this? I don't know what Cd it is.
Really have no idea.
All I want is just get the trash inside of it.
All right.
Is this the only bag then? That's yeah, I guess.
Oh, man.
But in the name of Jesus, o God, bless the war in Iraq, o God, in Iran, o God.
The war against terrorism, o God.
Lord, in the name of Jesus, the innocent people that we have over there in our armed forces that are dying, vainly, o God.
We have like a little prayer group together.
When we get there, we pray, we read the Bible.
I find that it's very helpful.
Majority of the ship is like atheist.
Lot of people, they have no morals.
No sign of God.
Majority.
I grew up pretty hard.
That's the reason I'm here now.
My family is eating well, you know.
Me and my wife came from nothing We met in a homeless shelter To now.
What we're doing in other countries Bombing Iraq, things like that, it kinda makes me feel like I'm going against my own morals.
We're no better than those other countries.
We got just as much murders, just as much raping, killing, hate crimes.
My opinion is president Bush uses God just to make himself look good.
Heard the Bible say, ha.
That joy, huh, comes in the morning, huh.
Let somebody clap your hands in here, and give God some praise, huh.
Tell your neighbor, huh.
I'm going higher, huh.
Take me higher, huh.
I might as well preach, huh.
I'm about to bring you out, huh.
With a new annointing, huh.
In the middle of the storm.
Clap your hands.
Clap your hands.
But you know, when I come out, I'm not going to come out alone.
I'm going to bring my sister with me.

You comin' out along with me.
Touchin' everythin', bring somebody else out along with you.
Break, Ta-DA-DA-dum.
Break it right down.
She's breaking right now.
Oh, break it right now in the name of Jesus.
Break it right now in the name of Oh, sha-DA-DA sha-DA-DA.
You better break it in the name of Jesus.
You better break it in the name of everything that's Holy.
Blessed savior I surrender If you're used to growing up in a Pentecostal church, when you feel God in the midst, you just want to get excited because he's there.
If you grew up like that, that's how you know to worship God.
They don't want people looking at them like they're crazy or something is wrong, and they need to go to medical.
It's like you feel the spirit of God just flowing into you.
It's so spiritual.
It feels so great, because like, you're just relieving all of your troubles, all of your pain, and you're just giving it to God, saying, "here, I don't want it anymore.
Like, I don't want to fight this battle.
" Some people, they felt like they were just floating on air.
Hallelujah it's a good way to relieve all your troubles that you're going through.
Our father.
If you're happy about Jesus, clap your hands right here.
Sucks that you're going, bro.
Trust me, you can live without me.
You know how I'm taking on that manager job? Like everything I think of, for the band, I like write down in here.
Oh, that's pretty slick, dude.
Yeah.
This is gold right now.
Worth it? Yeah.
You ever see this book? "The golden rule of schmoozing"? Schmoozing? Yeah.
As in kissing? No, like schmoozing people.
Like, like talking to them, like schmoozing them, like Like making them Kind of manipulating them.
So that's what you're doing to me right now.
I got nobody to punk out with anymore.
To punk out with? You know what I mean.
Kick back, play the guitar, write music.
You can write music, with Garzone.
God! Should hang out with him in Perth.
He's going to need a buddy since I'm leaving.
Yeah.
Take one step back from everything we could walk together we could step into the sun shooting stars are multiplying new worlds have just begun yeah, we could take forever we could step into the sun and who knows what tomorrow's gonna bring? Just soak up every minute and our time will surely come like fireflies returning to the star we all came from yeah, we could meet did you get one these right when you walked off? Yeah, we always got this stuff.
At some point, I got to call Tanya and my mom and we could step into the sun we could step into the sun U.

Phew! We should just finish a couple more rounds and go! Subs rip, edit, and resnyc by © VJ Me 2010 Christian Garzone in for naval confessions, here in beautiful downtown Perth, Australia.
We're going to see everything that Perth has to offer, in terms of architectural beauty, cultural beauty.
Hopefully run into a few aboriginals.
Your country's foreign policies, I think, are atrocious.
And now, I think, unfortunately, ours are now following that same path, which is hideous because we're antagonizing a country which is like ridiculously close to us, and they hate us.
Obviously, there was a massive bombing in Bali again.
Injured and maimed and killed.
But we need to be a little more sensible with that, and not ally ourselves with people that are actually very far away.
As Australians, we're lovers, not fighters.
Exactly.
I've noticed that.
So dingoes do not lay eggs, right? No? Oh! Wrap your as right around him Just hold him like holding a baby.
Both arms together.
Oh, she looks thrilled to be here.
Wow, so what time do you get off tonight? Are you serious? What time do you get off? I get off at twelve o'clock.
Ooh, that's the time I got to be back at the ship.
I'll see you later then.
Ok, catch ya.
Bye, bye.
Catch you later.
This is like Bourbon Street, man.
The way I stay ashore is, I stay in my word, and on top of that, I know the consequences.
When God comes back, I'm trying to go out with him.
I'm not trying to, God comes back to snatch up his people and there I am, stuck, looking like, "'damn, I missed the rapture!" What's up, ladies? How you doing? What's up? I'm Will.
How you doing? Hi.
I'm Will.
How you doing? I'm Will.
Hello.
How you doing? We're here in Perth, Australia, and we're saying goodbye to a very close friend, someone who has been a part of the naval confession series for, I think, two films now.
Maybe three.
Uh, Philip Mager.
Wow, man, this guy's cool, I'm cool; Together, we make an awesome team.
Like Laurel and Hardy.
Phil is my best friend on the ship, and he's leaving.
I'm, uh, trying to find the tears for the camera, but they're just not coming.
It's been my pleasure with working with you.
I mean, wow, so much I've learned, so much I have to learn, so much you haven't taught me.
Tonight, we're just gonna say goodbye to him, we're gonna have a few drinks, and maybe hit up a casino or so.
But, uh, tonight is Phil's night.
Thanks, man.
Don't even act like you were gonna do that first, 'cause I, as soon as I started pulling back, you're like, "oh, [Beep.]
!" It's been good, man.
We were saying our goodbyes in the bar, and Phil's like, "yeah, I have to go to the bathroom.
I'll be right back, guys.
" Oh, damn it, man.
And we waited for about ten minutes, and some other gentleman came over and said, "Mr.
Mager has gone to the casino.
He'll be back momentarily.
" So we waited for another like, half hour, and then, we went to the casino, to the poker tables, to look for him, and he had just vanished.
He was gone.
We might as well fly a black flag for him because, I mean, no one's heard from him.
I mean, he's just gone from the face of the earth, I guess.
Like Jimmy Hoffa.
You ditched me.
I did not ditch you.
Yeah, we'll talk about this later.
I was gonna Jimmy superfly you.
We're We'll talk about this later.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm unhappy.

A Verdelho, on the nose, yep, tropical fruits.

Good.
Umm.
Nice.
That's really good.
And I'm not a white wine guy.
Ok.
You need to know that.
Our Verdelhos She doesn't really need to know that.
I mean, she really doesn't care.
It's Chardonnay.
So it's got that lovely buttery, warm toasty character.
You promise? 'Cause I know buttery.
Ok, so what do you think? Fully fermented in new French grape barrels.
This one might be a hit.
It's our 2003 premium Shiraz.
This one spends ten months in American oak barrels.
Your mission accomplishment far, far exceeds and because your professionalism Are you guys gonna make love? No.
'Cause I want to watch.

Play it safe 'cause you know Whatever she says.
Having a holiday, that's just like going Forget about the women and the fun and the music and the She's crazy.
You know, I'm trying to make it to San Diego.
How long has it been since you had some fun? Yo, it's work, work, work, work, work.
Work, work, work, work, work.
Would it be worth it to make Willie stay later than midnight? Hang out and go dancing and have fun? You think that'd be worth it for him? Well, it depends what the [Beep.]
punishment's like these days.
Stuff fell down; you know what I'm saying? I slipped and fell.
I was playing in the devil's territory.
And I lost.
I lost the battle.
She started kissing me.
She started kissing my spot on my neck.
Once she did that, oh man, it was, it was all over.
All over.
Dark night of my soul I've been faced with many choices in my life and I have known I've known the misery the misery I have mistaken I have mistaken, mistaken shadowy voices yeah for the heavenly heavenly heavenly the heavenly ministry oh on the dark night yeah of my soul why don't you help me out? She comes up to me, she's like, "hey, buy me a drink!" I look at her like, "I ain't buying " I'm telling her, no, I'm not buying you nothing.
So she walks away and then, my boys look at me like, "man, what you what you doing? Why didn't you buy her a drink?" And I said, "what does it look like?" I am not no Willie foo foo rif Raf punk dude.
I ain't gonna buy no chick nothing.
So then, baby girl comes back.
And she's like, "let's go.
" Next thing you know, me and her get up, we leave, I leave.
I know what I I know what's gonna go down.
But I figured I, OK, yo, I'm just gonna go ahead and play with this and see how far it can go.
And you know, she took me to this place called Black Swan Lake.
And she's kissing It's just a Lake where a bunch of black swans go, go there, I guess during the winter.
Black swans I ain't never seen them until I saw the card Really black swans.
So uh, we go there.
Next thing you know, baby kisses me.

Afterwards, I felt like, like, like I felt so bad, dude.

But I am here to let you know that people are watching you.

But the best thing about it is, I got back up and I repented; You know what I'm sayin'? For my sins, I asked God for forgiveness; you know what I'm saying? And God is a loving God.
So my sin's been wiped away.

So I told her.
She was just like, "yo baby boy, don't let yourself get in that predicament no more.
Repent, and then don't let yourself get in that predicament no more.
" So I just won't let myself get in that predicament no more.
You know what I'm saying? So I just got to watch myself.
Just a digit and I'm almost done there's a party somewhere the melting soldiers like paraffin We ask that you watch over those who are firing, to keep them safe and help them shoot straight.
