(Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Denilya Williams)

00:01.000 --> 00:05.370
This is like our airport. We transport people back and forth to land.

00:05.370 --> 00:11.750
We have emergencies; this is the quickest way off the ship as far as getting them home...
[helicopter engine]

00:11.750 --> 00:15.690
We have the smaller boats, but I feel
like their job takes much longer than

00:15.690 --> 00:19.560
ours. It's quicker to get a plane off the
deck than get a boat in the water. 
[uplifting string music]

00:19.560 --> 00:23.960
So I feel like the ship probably wouldn't operate as
well without an air department.
[wind, music continues]

00:24.880 --> 00:29.180
One thing that is special about my job is
that we we're floating so we

00:29.189 --> 00:35.430
have challenges here and now and then, uh, high seas, high winds. But it's fun. It makes

00:35.430 --> 00:36.080
it fun.

00:37.800 --> 00:41.340
I'll take here any day because
it's more challenging, I think.

00:41.340 --> 00:46.649
Uh, with the seas, the wind, uh, the different positions,
the way you can land the aircraft, to the

00:46.649 --> 00:51.020
people. I think I'll pick this over a land airport any day.

00:51.720 --> 00:52.700
