I was aboard a cargo ship on September 11th 2001 I did the exact same thing by the order of the captain I got on the 1MC and used my Navy bugle sound General quarters

Nothing sends shivers up a US Navy Sailor’s spine like “This is not a Drill.”

[Absaalookemensch]

"This is not a drill" still sends shivers up my spine.
I got a phone call on the base crash phone when working the ER once. A KC-135 had crashed. This is not a drill.
Was recalled once to respond to a C-130 crash full of troops in a remote area, once for a HH-53 crash full of marines. Those were not drills.
Responded to a C-130 troop transport crash, multiple terrorist attacks and dozens of other "This is not a drill" incidents.

Two great Americans. RIP Kirk Douglas

"This is not a drill" brings all the drills and reality surfacing fast in your throat.

Interesting to have so many bad comments about a man not being able to serve. I have family that died in the WWII and serving now. Everyman serves where he can. The Duke best served us in the promotion of service. The loss of any service men is deviating to our families. Every service man is family to all of us.

Nice, I grew up with this movie. Good movie.

[docalexander]

This was the real Navy when I was in in 1957-1963.

[bryancreech]

me I miss the Duke one of the best actors of all times

[sillyone]

If a few Navy officers were as on the ball as the Captain, , 12/7/41 might be remembered differently.

The USS Constitution is the longest commissioned US Navy ship to this day

[robertsilva]

My father met John Wayne when he toured my father's ship my father took pictures with John Wayne when he was aboard my father's US Navy ship with permission of course

[HollywoodGraham]

The guy saying "General Quarters" is an actual Boatswain crew member on the Saint Paul. I was onboard at the time.

[JeepWrangler]

We heard this on an LST in the Med in 1977. A Soviet cruiser came into our group headed for Display Determination 77. Talk about getting your attention

[robertsilva]

I had family aboard that ship during filming

[doughesson]

After Pearl Harbor, many COs decided to omit using the General Quarters alarm during drills & only sounded it for real action to avoid confusion between a drill & actual impending combat.
The difference saved lots of time manning GQ stations.

[robertsilva]

On September 11th 2001 I was aboard a cargo ship and the captain told me what happened and asked me if I had my bugle I said yes he says do you know the scene from in harm's Way with John Wayne I said yes you mean the general quarter scene the captain of the cargo ship said yes can you sound general quarters I said yes Captain for real next you know the crew man their Battle Stations at the same time the Coast guard was a board inspecting our cargo ship the Coast guard crewman also man Battle Stations aboard the cargo ship with us

[connormacleod]

I had family in this movie my Dad was in the United States Navy at the time of this movie the lookout in this scene family then when you go to General quarters the one on the Navy bugle and the one that says this is not a drill those are family members

[studinthemaking]

Why they shoot this movie in black and white?

[robertsilva]

I would love to see the United States Navy sailors aboard a World War II ship without computers
