Seeing that chain move so quick, and realizing there’s something on the other end so big and heavy that it’s pulling it that fast....

[jlai]

Just like any government job, one guy working while 10 other guys stand there watching.

[CORNPOP-yvbk]

I’m amazed they are allowed to stand that close

Look at all that rust in the air when the anchor starts to drop, bet thats healthy

0:44 Haha, wtf...everybody is screaming and moving around. She's just standing there and awkwardly whispers...

[tyslink]

My berthing was right above the chain locker and right below the flight deck...so either I had a massive chain rattling below me or a harrier jet landing on top of me. Nope, can't say I miss those days.

all those women look like they dont even want to be there, like they are just watching the men work

[madrx]

Some of them have no hearing protection? Surely that would cause hearing damage

[kyalebrooks]

00:48 fucking state of it! You’re in the military....

[ericsays]

Why do they stand so close to the descending anchor? Very dangerous

[larryg]

I don't know why I like seeing that, but it is cool!!
