As a retired Marine Corps avionics chief, I totally agree. Great video, "See Ya!" It made my heart swell and eyes well up, on this 249th birthday of the US Marine Corps. Thanks so much to all of you who made this happen. I joined 49 years ago. Wow it still looks also familiar in today's Navy. Ooh Rah, America! The Navy Marine Corps team is Semper Fidelis-- "Always Faithful". Nov 10th, 2024
As a 33-year military man, now retired, I owe my career to my VIP's, AKA, mom & dad. So, I thank my parents for all their support and life lessons which served me well. I wouldn't have made through my career without them always encouraging me and pushing me. Thanks mom and RIP, dad I owe you more than you'll ever know. Semper Fi
Your parents must really proud of you , congrats mate on your succesful career. My father is a retired Master Chief Petty Officer (O9) in Turkish Navy and he did everything to support my dream to become a naval aviator which is becoming a Seahawk pilot but I couldn't fullfill it because of the several reason but height was the number 1 issue. I am 6'7. Now I'm doing my best to somehow earn a green card and eventually a citizenship and complete my dream in US Navy. I hope people doesn't see this or understand this comment wrong I just wanted to share my life. Have a great day and FLY NAVY!
Go Luck. Also a Master Chiefs Son, USN, with my own 30yrs to look back upon. 6’7” in a SeaHawk. . . Yeah, that’s a hard one. Cheers and Best of Luck into your future.
@@johngross8300I talked to some Blackhawk and Apache pilots they said that only a sitting and sitting eye height is most important. I’m fitting those numbers but that’s the Army not Navy so I’m hoping that it’s the same way for the Navy. Worst case scenario I will serve as anything besides aviation.
If you get your green card, there are a few aviation opportunities in the military for someone your height if that's your only issue. Tons more on the civilian side too.
My first job after college was working on the reactivation of the USS Wisconsin. I got to take my dad with me on it for "Family Day" before commissioning in 1988. One of the best and most satisfying things I've ever done. When I saw you did this I knew I'd watch this video and hit the LIKE Button. Thanks and thanks for doing that for your mom !
USS NEW JERSEY restoration volunteer here. Thanks for your role in having All the Iowas live on to tell their stories today and for future generations. Yesterday when leaving the ship it occurred to me that weve probably had about 4x the number of encampment guests as there were active crew members in her 4 active periods. ALL who have been part of these ships past are a part of the reason they are relevant today.
Crying my eyes out, sir, happy tears for sure. As an Air Force Brat. 3rd generation Veteran, Retiree, also Air Force, what a great experience for your Mom and Dad. Following me is my son, USAF E-5, currently deployed to the Mediterranean, and my daughter, USN MM3, about to transfer to the LPD-28 Fort Lauderdale, I can understand the pride your parents have in you. Thanks for Sharing!!!!
Rob, you are the GOAT! This by far the best way to thank your parents for always believing in you and all the support that helped you what you are now.
Dude! I am literally getting misty eyed watching your parents and listening to your narration. Such an incredible gift to your parents and your followers on UA-cam. Amazing!
Watching this on Veteran's Day (also my birthday) and _could not be prouder_ of you, your parents, everyone on that carrier, and all service members, past, present, and future. Go Navy! _GO AMERICA!_
Navy 1982 to 1988 AZ2 VS-41 and VS-33 two west pacs and I took my parents on the USS Ranger when we got back after a 9 1/2-month west pacs and my father couldn't believe his eyes.
Mr Rob Roy, 100% payback for having great parents. A great back story to their reward going to sea with you. Well deserved. Stay safe on your travels and thank you.
Bro, I’ve been following your channel for quite some time. Not only do you have one of THEE best naval aviation channels on here but this video, by far, has to be the best one you’ve put out. Seeing your mom on the LSO platform barely paying attention to the jets coming in for a landing. She was too busy beaming that giant smile at you. They must be so proud and this is probably the best gift you could have given them. Not that it needs to be said but you’re one lucky kid to have such supportive parents and they equally lucky to have you as a kid. Great job man 🤙
Best. Video. Ever. I'm a parent & there's nothing greater than seeing your children succeed and become a great person. Great parents. They are very proud of you. (I'm not crying, I have something in my eye!)
As the 40th employee of Grumman, my pop worked on the J2F “Duck” which was likely the closest thing to a COD the Navy had in the 1930s. He eventually rose to become Plant Superintendent at Calverton, N.Y.. When then Blue Angels took delivery of the F11F in 8:03 the mid 1950s, he was made an honorary “Blue”.
Outstanding! And of all the "DV's" that get rides out to the boat, your parents are well deserving. Those are the folks that should be given that opportunity. You know they were hyper excited.
That was absolutely incredible!!!! I’ve never heard of anything like this to include how much love your parents showed all of your college and naval academy friends!!! This video was a blessing to watch!!! Thanks so much. I was on a ship that’s probably razor blades now. USS LEAHY DLG and CLG 16. The great start to my life was the Navy!!! One of if not the best life decisions I made!! Happy Veterans Day!! 🇺🇸
Man this is one of the coolest and sweetest things I’ve ever seen. God bless you, your parents, and our Navy. Thank you for your dedicated service to this country sir. Blue skies. 🇺🇸
How awesome to have your parents onboard. I did get COD'd off in the Mediterranean in 1973, USS Independence. Going home for good! Something that I and your parents will never forget. Wish I could have experienced a trap though. I can tell you're very proud to be their son and thankful for all they did for you and your career. We need more parents and their children like this. Thank you for your service and thank you to your parents for making the sacrifices to make this happen.
What an awesome video. Can't imagine how proud your parents are, and you know they'll always remember this trip for the rest of their lives.Thx for sharing!
7:42 that's literally like they all are inside of a giant bullet, was powerful and funny, man after following your channel for so long and now meeting the parents, i feel very proud of you brother, may God bless you and your parents..and me as well. much love from Portugal-Lisbon
Absolutely wonderful. And the best Veteran's Day shoutout yet. Behind every soldier, sailor, marine, and airman are a whole team of support. Without that support, life in the military would be so much more difficult. Thank you to all my fellow brothers and sisters in arms, past and present, for your dedication. And as always, we must hold true to those who did not make it back in one piece. We, as a country, owe everything to them and it is our solemn duty to take care of them and make them whole.
Great footage Rob. As we all (those who have been there) know the only thing more impressive than flight ops on the boat is night flight ops on the boat. Thanks to all now serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. FLY NAVY!!!
Amazing. Thank you for your service and to your parents for supporting you and your colleagues all those years. My brother was an Air Force pilot and my parents were his greatest cheerleaders also.
Just.... Awesome !!! 2 wonderful parents, and a very grateful son. You can't get better than that ! Thank you for your service, and thank you to your parents for their service & sacrifices as well.
Talk of deserving parents. Your mom and dad are super parents and adoptive parents of several thousand MidShipmen as well. It's great that you were able to get permission to fly them in during active maneuvers out at sea so they could see EXACTLY how much fun you get to have and get paid for it too.
That was bloody awesome mate! As a parent, I felt so proud of you looking after your Mum and Dad like that. It's obvious you appreciate everything they've done for you. I'm sure your parents don't expect thanks for all their efforts for you but I'm sure they loved the appreciation.
Your video made me tear up on this Veterans Day. The best four years of my life were working the flight deck of the USS Midway. I love the way your Parents are serving our Nation!!! Way to go, Go Navy, Beat Army (BTW, my Father is a West Point Grad - Class of 56 - big point of contention in December of each year).
I’m choked up with happy tears. It’s videos like yours that make me proud and happy to pay my taxes. God bless you and everything you’ve done. And a huge thank you to your parents for everything they have done for our boys and girls out there. ❤
Love seeing the support your parents had for you, I always wanted to be a pilot as a kid but my family was broken and I didn't have the greatest upbringing, I remember getting to fly a Cessna when i was 11 years old for free with an instructor and it was one of the greatest feelings I've ever had, If only my family was supportive i could have continued pursuing it.
Thanks for this brother! It’s a great way to celebrate Veterans Day. I’m retired Army. My dad was a WWII veteran and my mom danced in USO shows during the war. We don’t often spotlight our parents, but we should. Like your parents, my mom and dad were always supportive of my Army career. Thanks again Rob - Navy, Army, Marines, Air Force, or Coast Guard - we are all brothers and sisters. 🫡🇺🇸
Love this. Your parents are very cool for everything they did for the Mids. My son is a "21" grad and I know how important the tailgates where to him. Thanks to your Mom and Dad. Go Navy!
As a Naval Aviator in my youthful past I loved that story. It brought warmth to my heart in these current stressful times. Goodness prevails. I always enjoy your other flight deck and LSO platform videos. On my first cruise to SE Asia we lost one of our pilots who was working the LSO platform when an A4 hit the platform. He is honored on the Intrepid museum in New York harbor. FLY NAVY!
This is absolutely incredible, you are so lucky to have amazing parents like that, and they are lucky to have you. Thank you so much for all of your service & sacrifice. The world desperately needs more people like you and your family.
So great to see! my 2 childhood dreams, being in an aircraft carrier and have my parents together. Your parents look awesome people Rob! take care and thank you for sharing. Greetings from Portugal.
Kids grow up playing sports and the parents put a lot of effort in getting their kids equipment and to practice hoping they will exceed in life playing sports! Your parents are a product of loving the United States of America and loving the Navy, and they want to show their support to othe midshipmen and any naval sailor, thank you for your service and thank you for your parents bringing up a outstanding man! Fly Navy 🇺🇲
AWESOME! Thanks for sharing your parents with us! How special to have had them on an active carrier with you!! Love your spirit! AMERICA!!!! DAMN RIGHT!!!!!
Man! Where do the accolades end? Too cool for school - you have outstanding parents - you are an awesome son and GREAT American - Army vet says the NAVY is the best! Thank you for creating a memory your parents will cherish for their lifetime!
Great video. What a nice thing to do for your mom and dad. I was an SWO on the USS Observation Island. I got my dad on board as a VIP to watch a Polaris missile launch. I’m 84 years old now but the memory of how much my dad enjoyed that day still makes me emotional.
Very cool!! Your parents enjoyed themselves big time and I am sure that they are very proud of the son that they raised. Happy Veteran's Day to you, sir!
Thanks for your service sir. And a big thanks to your parents giving so much support back to those that are serving or have served. Please give them a shout out to them for me and I would have loved to shake their hands for all that they are doing and raising a fine man you have become. Plus I would not mind buying you a beer or two.
That was awesome! First off, so much respect and thanks to your parents for supporting you and their support of the USNA. I can relate to how you must feel for affording your mom and dad this chance as I had the opportunity to bring my little brother on board the Enterprise for a Tiger Cruise from Hawaii to Alameda back in the 80s. To this day he remembers being allowed to take the helm every day that week as a 14 year old. Best "What I did on my summer vacation" essay ever. And he had the photos to prove it.
A very thankful civilian here. A happy vetrans day to all who have and are serving. Here's one for the ones we have lost. They are gone but not forgotten. Cheers boys (and girls)
I write a weekly aviation newsletter and would love if you signed up!

@@joanieb641 thanks Joe! They were very deserving of this amazing trip and are tickled by the video 👍🏼
hey man just wondering what us your callsign?
@@drums_life I was wondering that myself!
Two people who absolutely deserved being VIP's. Fantastic video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Mark!!

Good job sir jai hind ❤
They must be very proud of you
Your mom is single handedly hyping up the entire air wing! LFG!
I can’t imagine how proud your parents must be.
It goes both ways. With all of the stuff his parents have done, I am sure Rob is very proud of them, too!
His parents were incredibly disappointed as there are no tailgates on a carrier
Way friggin cool. They’ll always remember this, a good son.
This beats all your carrier landing videos. This is priceless. Thank you.
That must be the best present any parents can get. Awesome video.
Great video

You're best video yet, for many many reasons. Give your parents a hug from all of us.

How proud they are !!!!!!! Thanks for posting. When my Dad was 90 I took him for his FIRST ever plane ride in a PA28.
It was a proud moment.

No words, man, no words.
That is the coolest thing ever! Always great for a son to give his hero the best ride of their lives! Way to go!!!
