Went to navy boot camp in San Diego sum. '63. I always wonder how navy boot camp is done today. Back in mid-1960's I realized it wasn't as tough as marines or army, but the navy has a different purpose than other branches of the military. Anyway, good luck to all recruits in all boot camps in all branches of the mil. services. Now, I'm glad I served, and you will be, too.
If I could pass my initial prt (the thing the video was about) without working out in the past 3 yrs y’all can do it. Just gotta be willing to push. I graduated as of February first I shave 2:59 off my time through bootcamp but if u r 17-19 u will want to be able to pass with at least a minute to spare
I’ve never been physically fit. I went in at a 19:08 run time. I left boot camp with 14:30. I had to work on my self every time and I took advantages of being road guard to run more. It’s possible to get better in boot camp but if you come in prepared then you won’t be stressed about passing.
I beat all odds I guess. I went into boot camp with the promise from my recruiter that I didn't have to be in shape & that they would "build me up". Well that was a big fat lie! I made it & graduated but I HIGHLY recommend that you are doing push ups, sit ups & running on a regular basis before you go into boot camp! Do not go in thinking you will get into shape there or you will be absolutely miserable. They don't build you up over time they BEAT you into shape immediately or else you don't go on. For someone that isn't physically fit it is a HUGE challenge & is extremely hard on your body. Here I am about 13 years later and over the years I've had a lot of issues with my body which I know stemmed from me pushing myself so hard then. Overall I will never regret being in the Navy. It was a great experience that I am very proud of myself over & my kids ask me about it all the time. I am proud to answer their questions. Good luck to everyone that is joining. You can do it!! Honor, courage & commitment, you have those values & you can do anything!!
I went in, kind of out of shape, had no trouble, and the fat kids we helped along during the run, we all didnt set any records, and all of us looked slow, but it was TEAMWORK and all of us passed the run. When I say kids , we were all mostly 18 to 19. But we all made it with each others help. Ya don't run off and let anybody fail, you're a team. I do suggest getting in a little bit of shape first though, and know how to swim
0:16 ABH1 Emanuel 0:18 LS1 Bates never thought I would see my RDC's again, not even in a video. Division 352 Ship 14 Arrival 12JUL18 Grad 07SEP18 had some good times in boot camp Just Chow to Chow
I graduated boot camp a couple weeks back if you're going to bootcamp make sure that you can run a mile and a half in 12 minutes, do 46 push-ups in 2 minutes , and hold a plank for 1:46. That is the minimum passing standards for all males under the age of 21. Especially focus on your run because you will not have a lot of time to run in boot camp. You do not want to be the guys from my division who had to call his parents to let them know that he's being set back 5 weeks in training. And in addition to everything else in boot camp you now have to go for about 2 hours of intense physical strength training every night. If you have questions about boot camp ask me all the answer to them
@@Josh_Calderon for your age the run is definitely fine and the push-ups and planks are right on the line but trust me you will have a lot of opportunities to do push-ups before your final assessment comes. When I did the initial physical assessment my plank time was 1:50 and my push-ups was 48 when I did my final assessment I maxed out the plank at 3:26 and did 72 push ups. Some advice Pay attention Do not be first do not be last Work as a team Remember your RDC are their to help you (they just have a funny way of showing it) Get a reusable pair of earplugs (you can put it in your wallet you're allowed to bring that to boot camp) sleeping) All watches have to have a black band bring a watch When your RTC asked for someone with good handwriting it DO NOT volunteer however if he asked for something to do with laundry volunteer Bring your covid card Try to get a rack away from the door because the last thing you want to hear at 0330 in the morning is wake up you're shoveling snow it -36 outside When you get to O'Hare airport take your time Boot camp starts the second they see you at that airport Good luck
@@robertstetson4077 Thanks man I've been really nervous and I thought about quiting until now but like you said I'm right on the line. I'm just worried about getting sent home for not doing enough push UPS cause that's the main thing I struggle with. But thanks man I highly appreciate you responding.
@@Josh_Calderon is how push-ups is measured is one person will be doing them and another recruit will count them. No one from our division failed on push-ups (15% of our division should have failed on push-ups)
@@robertstetson4077 Ok got it. That's what I was afraid of failing because of push UPS. I'm just gonna keep practicing until then. I highly appreciate the advice. I'm looking forward to one day graduating too.
When I went through you just had to pass the last PFA before graduation in order to continue. If you didn't you got sent to USS Red Rover, the fat barracks, to get beaten til you passed.
I was quite surprised to see such relaxed requirements for the 1.5 mile run. 16:09 and 18:37 for men and women, respectively? That's basically a leisurely jog for the boys and a brisk walk for the girls. I would have expected something more like 13:00/14:30 at recruit level.
Boot Camp is 99.9% mental, .01% physical. I am a chain smoking 40 year old, and I could repass the initial requirements just by willpower. That being said, its definitely not a bad idea to train for at least 4-6 months before going to boot camp just to make your life easier.
In 1969, Orlando, the runs were outdoors as I recall. I helped one chunky guy, but it was tough for me too. I ended up a Corpsman, HM2, FMF. Out in 1974.
Went thought in 2015. If you can get good at running 3 or more miles that will easily carry you through. One of my best PRT scores(outstanding) I prepared for just by running 4 miles four times per week, I did not get tired when hitting the pushups or situps.
To all the old timers who say we had it rougher than today I remember navy boot camp in 1982. we did ZERO exercises. all we did was march around and do close order drill. the hardest thing to do was stay awake in the classes we went to because of lack of sleep. the shit was easy as hell but still some people washed out even though the training was designed to try to get everybody to stay in. maybe it was because it was the Zumwalt era that it was like that.
I’m Enlisting in the US Navy after I graduate this year in the NJROTC Program, I already contacted my recruiter, Ive just turned 17 last month, I’m choosing my job as a Gunners Mates Riverine Machine Gunner, I see that the Navy is stereotyped these days that the Navy is less about war fighting that the Navy is all about Boat water engineers, and it has basically been like that 15 years after the last World War&Korean War, which is not true there are jobs like Navy Seals, Combat Pilot, Missile&Rocket Technicians, Gunners Mates, Riverines, Combat Medic Corpsman, and much more etc etc.
You will be a very valuable piece of property that they are spending a lot of money on so they won't do anything that will kill or hurt you. There is a lot of science that goes into how they choose which recruits to allow in and which ones they know are too damaged to be fixed.
I was very fit and healthy when I finished boot camp. I quickly turned into the Pillsbury doughboy when I got to my ship. Damn Vienna sausages and cheese dip every night....
That guy in the very last shot of the running portion, was bowlegged AF.! 😬 You'd think that'd cause him problems later on down the road, being that his knees take a load at a different angle etc. Ouch poor dude
Don’t worry. People that didn’t deserve to be there or fat people or people you wouldn’t even think would make it have made. It is better that you work out but it’s doable. Also it’s not 16 minutes that bs. Depending on your age for example if you are 20-24 you have to pass in 13 minutes and 15 seconds. On your second try you won’t get separated you would get sent back like a week. Remember it’s not always what you think it is.
And if you have to get a waver for a medical condition such as hearing don’t waste your time because they will give you the same screening once you get there and if your results are still the same they will send you home
I’m joining soon! Quarantine caused me to gain WEIGHT! I’m glad I crossed this video because I would HATE to have to go back home embarrassed all because I wasn’t fit enough! I’m going to try my HARDEST to get in shape and become a sailor for the United States Navy 👏🏾 ⚓️🇺🇸!
Honestly it's cake, unless the PRT got stricter which I doubt. I went in 04 and now at 36 I would still pass, maybe not in the excellent category but a pass is a pass.
@@fmf8432 Good to hear looking to go in at 36 myself right now massively out of shape with quarantine. It's what made me reconsider navy vs army. Army would give me the cool job, But if i am being real i don't want to break myself and get smoked in boot at my age. Maybe in a few more years =P
I wasn't fit. I was a 5' 9" 115 lb girl. I gained weight (muscle) in boot. Yes, you'll make it. All you have to do is never give up. Keep going. They won't let you die. You're going to end up doing a lot of running in place because the idiots in the front of the formation aren't stepping out enough. Near the end of boot I'd had to do so much running in place that my final prt three other girls and myself came in a couple seconds under 10 minutes. Oh! Don't eat a heavy breakfast. It'll come up and you can quite possibly have a couple Marine Drill Instructors on your ass. Not sure anymore. We had Marines with us during many things in bootcamp. I never liked back. I'd run all day if need be.
@@bethanyterry4902 this was in 1990. I have no idea. The only thing I can think of is maybe I had just eaten or drank water and weighed a lb or 2 extra. Whatever it was I made it in with no problem. I now have a son that's very tall and lean that's in. He just finished A school.
50 pushups isn't impossible if you just practiced slowly like starting off with ten or less you eventually be able to do 50 if you pushed yourself hard enough
If you can't run the 18 for women, you need to talk to them and explain to them why you can't beat that goal. Yes you can get kicked out of boot camp if you are unable to successfully run but there are people that are willing to help with weather it's a mental or physical block. Before I went to boot camp I would train almost every day with my recruiter, I loved and hated that woman but within a year she got me within weight standards body fat standards and physical fitness standards. I made the run by the skin of my teeth but after boot camp I only did the swim I never had to do the run again.
Im a 5 10 260 lb dude and I murder push ups and sit ups. These people are doing wack ass half reps and incorrect posture. Im talking shit because I want that trident. Im down from 300 lbs to 260 and only getting fitter and fitter by the day. Im coming.
Ehh i would try putting on some pounds, while your recruiter would love to have you come to them even if youre not in the best shape, you should try to meet weight. I am 5'6 and 132 pounds and i was alright at MEPS but i was given strict instructions to not lose anymore weight. So put on some pounds.
Ethan El Bard unless they changed it (which judging by the video they didn’t) when i went thru the process u need to get under 16 to pass. I promise i didn’t hit 12 mins for my final and i did graduate
@@thekidlovescookies I got separated this September because I didn't hit 12 minutes for my final. Judging by that they definitely changed it. The video is only talking about the initial one in P-Days
Ant 3451 on day one you can be out of shape but don’t do that because it will make your boot camp experience 150x harder. Shoot for 50 push ups and 50 curl ups in 2 minutes and run 1.5 miles in 12 minutes and you will have nothing to worry about physically.
what the guy said earlier is true, the only test that matters for push ups/ curl ups is the final PRT, but the run you need to atleast get that minimum 16 lol. it aint hard for them to make you stronger but getting you to run a quicker time is significantly harder for them because the only time yall run is when you go to freedom hall for PT. as a word of advice when you do go to freedom hall and run give it all you got and dont stop even if youre going to feel like passing out, theres no excuse to fail the prt because ive seen people that were genuinely out of shape or even overweight pass their final prt ( which for males 17-19 would need to be a MINIMUM of 12 minutes)
honestly if you can’t run 1.5 mi in 18 min, there’s something wrong with your life. i’m a marine and in bootcamp we run the same distance but we get about 15 min, however nobody really takes that long unless they never worked out before bootcamp. we really run 3 mi for our test though 😩
Its not funny, most of those people died cause they had a health condition that was not found in MEPS and unfortunately the physical exertion activated that, like for example it could be a heart problem and due to doing physical activities they have never done before their heart fails and they die, death is never something to laugh at...

Work as a team
Remember your RDC are their to help you (they just have a funny way of showing it)
Get a reusable pair of earplugs (you can put it in your wallet you're allowed to bring that to boot camp) sleeping)

Bring your covid card
Try to get a rack away from the door because the last thing you want to hear at 0330 in the morning is wake up you're shoveling snow it -36 outside

If you can't run the 18 for women, you need to talk to them and explain to them why you can't beat that goal.

@@dontcryboutit why what happened?
@@dontcryboutit you got lucky. Navy isn’t anything special. I get out in 13 months, I can’t wait to get out
@@rotisseriechicken9466 it's what ever
good luck in prep
Im a 5 10 260 lb dude and I murder push ups and sit ups. These people are doing wack ass half reps and incorrect posture. Im talking shit because I want that trident. Im down from 300 lbs to 260 and only getting fitter and fitter by the day. Im coming.
SulfurHead lmfaooo ok boot
whats the requirement for curls and situps?
For an 18 yo guy it's like 45 crunches
Perfect score for males is 100 push-ups and curl ups in 2 mins
@@topgun9970 That's just under one per second. Not really credible. Try again.
I'll go home. See ya!!

Will they allow you to join if you're 5 10 130 pounds
510,130 pounds (255 tons) might be just a tad excessive unless you're a locomotive.
Ehh i would try putting on some pounds, while your recruiter would love to have you come to them even if youre not in the best shape, you should try to meet weight. I am 5'6 and 132 pounds and i was alright at MEPS but i was given strict instructions to not lose anymore weight. So put on some pounds.
Back when I was in you had plenty if time to get your Chief's gut.
Oh no i dont wanna be sent home
Trisha Chia me niether
Males and females should have the same requirements.
Jeff Spehar i agree
I also agree
I feel like the standards are low, like honestly the sea cadets run time requirement for a 10 year old is 10 minutes 25 seconds.
Getting old is a wonderful thing
Not for a mile and a half.
@@thousandand1skeleton only if you allow it to be
If you fail can you join again?
Yes I'm in that process now lol but it will require a waiver and to pass the test at graduation standard at your nearest base
@@themessiah941 wdym and what did you fAil
If you weren’t physically fit or active before Navy Bootcamp you will be when you leave.
This isn't the Marines, you just need to get used to exercising a half hour to an hour a day. Get your body fat down. Eat healthy.
My mile time is 5.20 minutes so how much miles do I have to run
Giovanni Escobar 1.5 miles in under 12 to actually get a perfect score but anything under 18 mins for males is a pass
@@thekidlovescookies Keep in mind that's just initial. For the final PFA you need under 12 to graduate
Ethan El Bard unless they changed it (which judging by the video they didn’t) when i went thru the process u need to get under 16 to pass. I promise i didn’t hit 12 mins for my final and i did graduate
@@thekidlovescookies I got separated this September because I didn't hit 12 minutes for my final. Judging by that they definitely changed it. The video is only talking about the initial one in P-Days
If u fail would you be able to go back and try to pass
Yes
Just out of curiosity, what is the number needed for push ups and curl ups On day one?
Ant 3451 on day one you can be out of shape but don’t do that because it will make your boot camp experience 150x harder. Shoot for 50 push ups and 50 curl ups in 2 minutes and run 1.5 miles in 12 minutes and you will have nothing to worry about physically.
Also work on your squats and lunges because you will be doing a lot of those.
what the guy said earlier is true, the only test that matters for push ups/ curl ups is the final PRT, but the run you need to atleast get that minimum 16 lol. it aint hard for them to make you stronger but getting you to run a quicker time is significantly harder for them because the only time yall run is when you go to freedom hall for PT. as a word of advice when you do go to freedom hall and run give it all you got and dont stop even if youre going to feel like passing out, theres no excuse to fail the prt because ive seen people that were genuinely out of shape or even overweight pass their final prt ( which for males 17-19 would need to be a MINIMUM of 12 minutes)
This instructor needs to do the exercises again holy crap dude
lol
honestly if you can’t run 1.5 mi in 18 min, there’s something wrong with your life. i’m a marine and in bootcamp we run the same distance but we get about 15 min, however nobody really takes that long unless they never worked out before bootcamp. we really run 3 mi for our test though 😩
Charcy Bullock iM a MaRiNe
Imagine having all the time to prepare and you fail a 16 minute 1.5 mile run.
Shit happens
👍🏾
I hate Freedom Hall so much
Bootcamp was such a joke lmao
They sent you home ?
Why are they not pushed like marines,army, seal,rangers,etc. this seems to easy now days
A lot of them look overweight, or is it my imagination?
Alona Soyo
This video makes me ashamed to be American
People died in navy bootcampppp lol
Its not funny, most of those people died cause they had a health condition that was not found in MEPS and unfortunately the physical exertion activated that, like for example it could be a heart problem and due to doing physical activities they have never done before their heart fails and they die, death is never something to laugh at...
What a joke ugh.
Thats the initial pt test, it gets harder as bootcamp goes on, as it does in the Marines, army etc.
