Here's proof that life as a SWO is all dependent on your CO...

So when is a COD det going to make a "I'm NOT on a boat" video.. Or the P3 version, "What the fuck is a boat?"

That's one of those floaty things they send you to when they don't want you to fly anymore right?

I thought those were something we always bought after a deployment?

Maybe I don't spend enough time on YouTube... but this is the first remake of that video I have seen.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

SWO blasphemy.... They should be singing "I'm on a ship".

Wow, just what the world needs - another "I'm on a Boat" video.

I get it: It's funny, because you're in the Navy, and you live on a boat. No, seriously I'm in stitches!

I've got a great idea: Every boat, winging class, OCS class, ROTC class, etc. should make a video of that song. Why? Because it's funny and original.

The first one is always funny, it's the knockoffs that suffer. Though I haven't seen any "day in the life of a k-bay Marine knockoffs".

I showed this to a buddy of mine (overseas) who hadn't seen the original, and he thought the SNL version was a ripoff of the Navy skit.

Good find, glad to see John Paul Jones is doing well.

Maybe they aren't SWOs and are, in fact, Aviators attached to the helos. Look at the aviator glasses they're wearing. Right? Right?

Too bad the JPJ is a Flight I DDG and, thus, no permanent helo detachment.

I tried to make out the insignia on his flight suit and concluded I had no idea. If they had wings, though, wouldn't it be on their SDB's?

That just makes it more amusing. :icon_tong

 

[HercDriver]

Props to them: good editing, nice videography, some gratuitous helo footage...I give it a thumbs up.

Caveat: I will say that "I'm on a Boat" is one of the lamer digital shorts I've seen out of SNL...think I prefer this one.

Damn, there were more uniforms in that video than an episode of JAG.

Watch that video, then the SNL digital short. They were matching the uniforms in the original video.

I'm ashamed to say I put the movies side by side. They did a damn good job.
