All the aspects of family separation… from the CATCC officer who had to get a judge to help her get her kids to Hawaii for the Tiger Cruise to the Marine who was rediscovering his wife and newborn son.

Not so much the Top Gun Bullshit (yay!), but lots of focus on the men and women who keep the operation going 24/7/365 and what they have to put up with.
