The video was made by a navy skipper with the ironic name of Capt. Owen Honors between 2006 and 2007. It was broadcast to sailors and Marines as entertainment. The video clip isn't all that raunchy, at least the clip that's posted at the site. More than anything it's childish. There is a lot of pretend masturbation and "Come Sail Away With Me" plays while a sailor gets a rectal exam. There are apparently anti-gay slurs in other videos. The video lends insight to the culture of our military. I think if we're going to ask people to kill other people in the name of peace, we shouldn't expect much in terms of elevated thinking.
In one scene, two female Navy sailors stand in a shower stall aboard the aircraft carrier, pretending to wash each other. They joke about how they should get six minutes under the water instead of the mandated three.
In other skits, sailors parade in drag, use anti-gay slurs, and simulate masturbation and a rectal exam. Another scene implies that an officer is having sex in his stateroom with a donkey.
They're all part of a series of short movies produced aboard the Norfolk-based aircraft carrier Enterprise in 2006 and 2007 and broadcast to its nearly 6,000 sailors and Marines. The man who masterminded and starred in them is Capt. Owen Honors - now the commander of the carrier, which is weeks away from deploying. More at Virginian-Pilot
