Men of Honor (2000)

Just watched this show frm astro...
not the 1st time i watched it...

"History is made by those who break the rules"
this phrase was very true...
if no one breaks the rule...
there will be no history telling bout it...

this is really a nice and inspiring show..

Carl Brashear is a African American men...
whom at their days..
was still not accepted by the white men..
he was discriminate by the Whites..
when he joint the Navy Master Diver...
was given a hard time to pass his lessons..
he was not given equal chances as others...
by the orders of Chief Sunday...

during training, Carl saved a young man's life..
but in the prejudice environment,
the diver who fled earlier was given a medal..
and Carl was ignored..

Carl was soon accepted and passed...
after his effort in proving tht he is the best..
upon passing, chief Sunday was transfered to other place..

carl fought for his carrier and remain as a diver..
in a task to find a bomb...
he manage to escaped death and found it..
but when he is up on the ship..
an accident happened..
where it took his right leg away..
chopping it as to save others life...

he was devastated and disappointed..
he was given 4 weeks to recover and get back in stamina..

his wife and son had let him behind..
clearing his thoughts..
thinking wat to do next..

Carl did not gv up..
he get a prosthesis...
in hope to return to full duty diving..
Sunday came to visit him...
telling him tht the 4 weeks is a lie tht in return he will be only retired frm the team..

Sunday helped Carl in confronting Hanks..
telling Hanks tht he will be able to get back up in 4 wks..
it was approved..

on the day Carl was presented in court..
Captain Hanks outlines a new navy requirement which weighted 290 pounds..
Carl volunteered to walk the 12 steps there n thn..
with Sunday's helped..
he manage to finish the 12 steps in difficulty..
Carl was thn restored his duty...

Carl Brashear was the 1st African American amputee to resume Navy diving duty,
after 2 years of reinstatement...
carl was promoted as Master chief..
Carl continued his Naval career for another 9 years upon retirement...
