This video, "Float Tapes: Part - 30" by Kit Badger, delves into a personal narrative from August 2001 when the creator, then a young Sergeant in the Marine Corps, was preparing for a Westpac deployment. The original intention was to document this deployment, capturing approximately 19 hours of footage on a Sony HandyCam. However, the events of September 11th altered the deployment plans, leading to an extended "camping trip in Afghanistan." The footage was subsequently misplaced for 18 years before being rediscovered. This installment focuses on the return to shipboard life on the USS Dubuque, LPD-8, after the deployment.
This video documents the creator's personal deployment experience with the US Marine Corps in 2001, which was significantly impacted by the events of September 11th. Originally intended as a "Float Video" with footage captured on MiniDV tapes, the tapes were lost for 18 years before being rediscovered. This installment, Part 29, likely continues the narrative of the deployment, mentioning time in Afghanistan at Camp Rhino and a return to the LPD-8 Dubuque. The video aims to share the story of that deployment through recovered personal footage.
