Ryan Vinyard got the privilege of visiting a US AirCraft Carrier for four days.

"The main purpose was to see the flight operations and general day-to-day ship life. Seeing multiple aircraft being launched and landing on an area about the size of 3 football fields was pretty amazing, especially when they were doing it at night. On top of that, many of the people working out there were barely out of high school. The whole thing gave me a real appreciation of what our sailors and airmen do on a daily basis and I'd like to say thanks to all of them." - Ryan Vinyard
