- Boot Camp: Making a Sailor is a feature-length documentary produced by the U.S. Navy's All Hands Magazine, in partnership with U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command. It follows four young people on their path from leaving their hometowns and enlisting in the Navy through Navy Boot Camp in Great Lakes, Illinois.
Here’s a motivation, I had a guy in my division who only did 11 push ups, 15 sit ups, 17 minutes 1.5 mile. At the end he did 58 push up, 65 sit ups, and ran 12 minutes/1.5 miles.
He suffered but made it, I suggest working out before joining so that you won’t suffer as much as you have to be.
Damn, that person must've been unfit as hell. My PE teacher in middle school makes us do more than 15 pushups, and at least 30 sit-ups (these amount of reps were only required for boys). I find it quite hard to believe that he only did that much reps at the beginning.
@@jremaiyuhh trust I had PE all through elementary to highschool and none of my teachers ever made us do that so yeah some ppl never work out in their life it learn how to do push ups & etc , I’m currently in talks about joining but started training myself at the gym ..I can’t even do a push up but I can run and do the sit ups and etc
He must've been a homeschooler
Thank you for this
It's really awesome to see someone make a transformation like that. Guy has heart.
The amount of times I’ve seen this, they need to make another one
I sleep well at night knowing people like Luis are out there defending our country.
:)
ortiz bro wtf 🤣
@@luisortiz8772 Luis I followed your mindset of knowing it's going to be hard and be excited for the challenge. I just graduated two weeks ago and am still stuck at RTC because I can't get a flight with covid going around
Tristan Pickett are you still in THU?
@@realkevin6242 No I left a couple days ago. I am now at nuke school in Indoc.
My only concern is i start laughing for no apparent reason.
Oooh there will be reasons to laugh and you won’t even be able to laugh
according to my section commander at the time, apparently i have a nervous smile and that pissed every co off hahaha
The struggle is real Roberto.
I did that. They don't like it.
Through the video, I could see how a civilian changed into a sailor, by their cloth changing, by their attitude changing. You can cry sailor. You've achieved many things at the camp. You've earned it.
Graduated about a week and a half ago. It's really not that bad if you just shut up, listen, and do what your told to do correctly.
Graduated in Sept 14 1973. Things changed a lot since then.
*"YOU HAVE 2 MINUTES TO HYDRATE!"* That is a phrase I will fucking hate till the day I die😂
My RDC's only ever gave us 30 seconds
10 seconds 🤦🏾♂️
@@Tterrancetthomas our RDCs made sure we drank a shitload of water to suffer the consequences later
Albert2341 sucks to suck
@@Tterrancetthomas yup
Whoever is about to go, I highly recommend to study collar devices, dress uniform sleeves and the sailor creed. Also chain of command. That will help you so much in the beginning
Andrew Hart I absolutely agree! I graduated 2 days ago, but I remember lots of recruits in my division getting beat for not knowing that kind of stuff.
*"WHO IS YOUR SHIP'S OFFICER?"* Hahahaha
ABF Albert Oh fuck.... lots of people screwed that one up. Our Ships LCPO was ruthless as hell.

David Ratnayeke Div. 322; a very strong division.
My son (19) just got to Ft McCoy yesterday for 2-wk quarantine, then starts boot camp, then sub (BESS) school, and after that A school (Groton, CT). After one year in college, and being completely bored, he decided to join the Navy like his grandfather had (my father, who passed away last year). I'm so proud of him and can't wait to see him 💙.
My great grandfather passed away last year and was in the navy , fought in world war 2 , I’m bored with life and will he joining like him. I’m a girl though.
Yeah if he was bored in college he’s going to hate his life even more now lol. How do I know this? I’ve been in rotten groton for a year now and this command and especially the base is ass
@@nateoverall3451 My son's in Groton and started BESS last week.
@@fgfg633 i hope ur son is doing well in Groton....has he made it to a sub yet?
@@jdoggs08753 He finished BESS months ago. Now he's waiting to "class up." Said he's supposed to start A school in September.
For those going into Basic Training, y'all are lucky. I went in in 05 and had no idea what was going to happen. This video definitely gives you an idea of what will happen. Good luck to all of y'all. Hooyah Navy.
I don’t know why I find yelling funny. Every time somebody yells at me I can’t help but laugh man I better be able to hold it together when I get enlisted
Me too. Yelling is fun and a morale booster
@Tay nah its fun. Trust me. I grew up in a more terrible place that boot camp
@Tay 😂😂
@Tay yea he or she don’t even know😂
Your more pissed at boot camp than the RDC’S themselves
I ship out October 14th after many rollovers because of COVID. I am excited to finally start my Navy Career.
Update finished December 14th
@@coryrill nice! Best of luck in the fleet! Thank you for your service.
Im excited to go to bootcamp i am a high school dropout who got a ged in 3 months and passed now I’m able to serve my country like I’ve always wanted to since i was 6
good luck to you!!! 💪🏼

Good luck to you! My cousin is in boot as we speak😂
I just got out

Ive been talking to some recruiters, im on my senior year of highschool and I'm hoping to get a boot camp date and everything sorted out.
@@Crmsn-qk2io hello
husband leaves for bootcamp at the end of this month, im really glad i got to see what he's gonna be going through for the next two months. it looks so tough but i know he'll do great 💪🏼
Just remember his rank isn’t your rank. I’ve been around too many wives that think that and its not ok.
navy is gay
God Bless all these young men and women who are willing to do what it takes to do their part to keep our country safe! Thank You!
Don't think guns and god mix unless you make it up!!
I’ve been active duty now for 24 years. A lot is different from when I went through boot camp but it’s refreshing to see a lot has stayed the same as well.
Joined in 75 as enlisted, sent to Officers School in 77, best times of my life. Thanks to all that served in our Armed Forces.
What is up with those racks? They tilt?
Really pissed I didn’t get a graduation ceremony, fuck COVID
Luis has a good attitude and outlook because if you grow up in a hispanic household you already know structure and fear trust me..lol
"You get on the platform like ten feet not that bad then you get up there like ten feet ooo"

An airborne watching a navy boot vid😂
😂😂
This was inspiring! Especially for a soldier in the Army.
It’s when they get quiet is when you should be worried
The Marlinspike was good times. That was fun, I won't even lie.
I went throug US Army Basic and Advanced training March thru June 1966 and I remember graduation day. Watching these young men and women, these SAILORS shed a tear of pride because they had accomplished becoming a United States Sailor made me cry too. I remember, they will never forget what they have accomplished on that day either. United States NAVY, YES! [edit - my Grandson just this past April graduated United States Military Academy. He is now a United State Army 2nd Lieutenant in his 2nd week of Ranger school and we are so very proud off him - GO ARMY!] ps; I graduated OCS 1969 and OBC at Ft. Sill, Ok as a United States Army Artillery Officer. Left our US Military June 1973. I LOVE our United States Army, Airforce, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard,, America's Military ARE the Finest Soldiers in the WORLD!
Finally... a company commander with a set.
It’s amazing to see the chances made. I was in basic in 2009 and some things have changed but it was also a walk down memory lane
Yes Chief, No Chief, mabey Chief, what is it. Best meme from boot camp.
Chief: “RESPOOOOND!!”
@@JoshConder Fix yourself!
Lizard King:
Aye aye chief! That’s how you sound off! Talk loud!
This preparation for my journey to the US NAVY
getting the shots is going to be the hardest part of bootcamp. I fucking hate needles
Attending the recruit training is a real big game changer for your life for the better and you will be moving yourself to the higher standard as an American citizen and beyond, the skies of opportunity is unlimited and will be the best memories you can imagine looking back what you did, You will earn your credential for life and will be well respected that you have served to protect your country. American people are very proud of each one of you and of all branches of military.
I need to show this to some people. Its awesome to see some of the changes that have takin place

I’m 17 and will begin my training in 7 months to join the navy just like my older brother who will be 21 when I join.

I'm sure he's in a very PRIVATE room waiting to "talk" to his recruits
I have to loose 20 pounds first (already lost 10), but I want to do this so bad. Just nervous to talk to a recruiter😬
Don’t be nervous you got this I believe I’m you 🙏

Have you talked to a recruiter?
@@joshuamartinez7599 I have not yet no, from what I was told you should go to them when you are in your best shape, but I’d if that’s true. I want to do bad but I don’t want to get left out if I’m not ready.
@Tay yeah, I graduated college in April and didn’t do ROTC so I am out of shape. Used to be athletic in hs, but I’m trying to get back on the groove:)
"Its not fun yet..." Lol
Ship date is feb.23 👏🏾
Good luck!! I’m in the process of getting sworn in!
Hooyah! Good luck future shipmate. It'll be tough while you're there just remember don't give up. As long as you don't quit your RDCs won't quit on you and you'll make it through.
P days was the hardest part of boot camp after that it was a breeze
Great video!
Just graduated a week ago I remember watching this over and over

Isaiah. 318. We graduated from battle stations on the 3rd
And, A special thanks to the hard working Chief's and Petty Officers who train these young men and women!
And Officers too!
This is my motivational video for my 2 years left... this pushes me and fires my drive to join so bad!
I want to join the navy but I can’t do boot camp until 8 years from now.ive always wanted to be in the navy ever sense I was 4 years old
then you go to a squadron and never prectice any of this ever again lol (besides types of fires, and types of extinguishing agents)
Truth! My favorite parts of boot camp was line handling and damage control/firefighting.... I’m an ATO assigned to an aircraft that the odds are I’ll never be on a ship lol
Don’t sign up for corpsman. It’s a good rate and good work, but you WILL NOT get promoted past E3. There’s just too many of us
Unless you’re on your shit. My sister made e-5 in 4 years
Graduated October 2020 great experience, also because the COVID it was so stressful
Same I recently graduated in October

She made it, and is doing very well in the navy
Ship date is Jan 5th 🙃. This looks very funnnnn
Ship dates Jan 7th, lets gooooooo!!⚓⚓🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hooyah! Keep that motivation and you'll be fine. It's pretty fun honestly (in retrospect) unless you're hella out of shape.
Ahhh RTC Great Lakes...good times...my whole division was trash lol...division 415
As a veteran those recruits scared me. 😨. If they are that out of shape.😦 unbelievable. No conception of reality.
I can’t wait
I leave tomorrow, idk what to wear
Actually?? Good luck!
Anybody who trashes America as bigoted or racist should pay attention to these proud young people joining the armed services.

ahhh memories
Is it possible to make more videos like this?
Awesome
Former Nuke, ELT type, submariner.
Boot camp's going to be the funniest place you're not allowed to laugh.
A school is pretty easy. Don't underage drink.
Powerschool is neat, you learn nuke shit. Look up "Applied Engineering Principles" and the study material on the NNPTC website. Fuck doing extra hours in the Rickover.
Prototype is stressful if you were a basement dweller like me. Ask for help, partner up with a social butterfly or a female, don't kill yourself.
The Boat is stressful. It's going to suck until you're qualified senior in rate. It is what it is. Get your fish and your first in-rate watch qual and everyone gets off your ass and treats you like an adult. Maintain your quals. Again, Don't kill yourself. It's just a job. It isn't worth it.
Don't star reenlist. It makes putting on E5 hard because all the billets are full but you're fucking yourself if you end up wanting out. If you're shit hot and your chief likes you, you'll get capped anyway.
If you hate it, tell EDMC to eat your ass when he gives you the reenlistment speech. Get your DD214 and go home. If you like it, reenlist.
I’m 19 and I’m tying to get into contact with a recruiter so I can join.
What are you trying to do in the navy?
Where are you from
I know no one asked, but I would like to share from what I experienced from my country.
From where I am, every man here is required to participate in conscription, which means every man here is entitled as "a conscript". Therefore, I can be called anytime, anywhere.
I have to inform you first that the conscription recruiting department that I attended was in the countryside.
I was about 17, which in fact, people around me were 16, and the latter was the required age to enter the conscription.
When it was about qualification, only few passed, and I was not. If I did not request for the corruption with school's power, I would be sent to the worse position, and I might not be back home alive like now. (And I take your criticism from this) Basically, I could be sent to where terrorist attacks have still been occurring until this day.
I attended the opening as the number of the qualified people were too few, so the department let me and lots more people in. Much like in this video, I did not know what they were subjecting me to do.
Conscript recruits there were much discriminated, and they were put into classes that only few people could use for their lives since none of us really wanted to be a conscript. The conscript training command's (CTC's) here much irresponsible, yet they ordered us to do things.
Basically, most of us had the goal to get out of there.
What I was told to learn was much about ropes inside the department to take care for, which all for the senior conscripts that did not participate in their earlier days. Next, we were told to please their commander, so we were forced to practice anything festive to leave their commander with a smile. Well, it was to march around and follow his order.
Every day, we were saddened to be there just to suffer. Unlike U.S. Navy, which they had their team to fight for with respect and love. From where I was, again, I was discriminated to where I should question my existence as I was told that I could not do anything for my country. Words from CTC's were all disrespectful and nothing motivating. Much like they told me that probably my whole clan had no discipline to service my country.
The country where I am, conscripts here protect the king, not the people, or whom they love. The King here has meant to be the priority of the country. Conscripts here have to serve the king, and actually, we are told that we are serving the dust under the king's foot. (Some kings here are good, and very few are very good)
Every conscript is the royalty's service lackey, if I can translate correctly from each word, which technically translated as "officials".
We are told to love the king. Yes, I could love the king in the time I was young. However, we were not told to love our team and respect anyone but the commander and anyone "above" us.
When it comes to using the firearms, we were not allowed to use headphones or earphones to plug our ears to shoot. It was not a pistol but a rifle, so it was too loud. I had to take time to aim, but I was told to hurry as I could not hear a thing because of the loud shots.
When it came to the last day, everyone threw their hat and ran off back to the bus our school "prepared".
At least, there are good memories about it...
There was a time, a CTC yelled to get someone out of the line and be the sample to get into his sequence of orders.
I volunteered myself to go... because I thought it was a good experience for me to get...
I went there... Everyone laughed at what I was doing, even the CTC who brought me...
In the rule of conscription, I had to participate every day that was demanded to be present. However, I was absent due to a school activity, so I had to fix it by coming to the department and do whatever any CTC ordered me to do so.
However, when I was there, I was told to go back home without coming back again until the next year... because the CTC who brought me to be the sample... "hated" me...
I met the CTC; I was told to go back... I came with my mother; we were about to go back... Before that, that CTC came to my mother, and tell her how I am...
"Helpful", "Honest", "Respectful", "Genuine"... (Nothing here is about me being narcissistic.)
There are only two CTC's I want to remember, and wish to remember. At least, the CTC I told earlier could witness what was said in the video: "If you fail, the team fails."
Loved this, showed it to a few people interested in the Navy. Hate those damn green uniforms though.
Joe Boggio believe it or not the type 3s are more comfortable then the blueberries
Just got out from Navy boot camp today HOOYAH 424!!! Boot camp here is completely different from how it is now. Mainly because of COVID
whats different about it?
@@hoaxial2090 the two week quarantine you have to do at a army base, I was in a hotel. Then you have some stuff that’s not a thing anymore like the confidence chamber. You do planks instead of sit ups now for the PFA and a ton of other shit. And if you have any Covid symptoms even chills, then you get quarantined again. It sucks but I got through it
@@Dom_The_Otaku so they have done away with the confidence chamber completely?
@@hoaxial2090 they still teach you how to put the gas mask on (very badly) but yeah that’s gone for now. But everything else involving firefighting is still a thing. Unfortunately we weren’t able to see fire because their systems weren’t working which was annoying.
@@Dom_The_Otaku that’s crazy. How was Marlinspike and battle stations?
Really interesting to see the similarities and differences between US Navy bootcamp and my basic training for the New Zealand Navy. My training was 18 weeks long and we had far fewer recruits but a lot of the aspects of training seem similar.
Dang 18 weeks? My training was 12 weeks because of covid. First was two weeks in quarantine and then midway of training my rack mate caught covid and had me quarantine again. What aspects were similar?
@@dawsonmudd9283 It seems like there are a lot of similarities but just on a smaller scale. The PT sessions seem much the same but we did a lot more PT outside of the gym...long distance runs, swimming etc. We don't chant while we march so that was super interesting to see. We only had 87 recruits during my course and there are only 2 courses run a year so I think there is a lot more one on one time between recruits and staff to ensure we are well trained (gives you an idea of how small our Navy is). Just out of interest, what is your job (we call them trades) within the Navy? I am a medic.
@@rachelwalton9978 Oh wow that’s awesome. I’m a mineman. We call medics here Corpsman. With covid pretty much ALL PT was inside our compartment so we hardly had any fresh air lmao.
After watching this video for third time, I realized I saw someone from my hometown that was close to my family when I was younger, and it made me realize and believe in myself that much more.,
Boot camp was worse than this haha. But you don’t go home or set back after the initial PFA, that’s only if you can’t pass the last one that required pass to graduate
Masiel Dubois you don’t even go home if you fail the official lol they just ASMo you three weeks back and you go into prep
just wondering what that dude in the background at 23:36 is doin something seems off
"If you're wrong, Stay wrong". He probably had 30 seconds to get ready and get on the toe line. Probably wasn't able to take his sweatshirt all the way. It gets cold at night at RTC so most recruits sleep in sweatpants + sweatshirt and don't use the wool blanket provided to save time folding and getting their racks ready in the morning.
Can’t believe I graduated from that shit hole almost two years ago lmao
Awsome
34:04 the recruit doesn't seem like she wants to be there.
Yea
in 2 years ima be in the navy🤩
Chief really hops up on the table to prove a point. Respect, i guess?
I well up everytime I reminisce about my time in boot camp (2016) Funniest moment I experienced was during our PB shots & one of my division shipmates moaned on purpose when he received the shot, the whole room busted out laughin and the shot administrator got mad & stormed out
I need to be a Navy

You have 30 seconds to hydrate. - My 3rd RDC
One of the young ladies who got smoked ended up being the RPOC, that's so dope.
Nice to see FMF Corpsman making it a little interesting like that chief in the begining . Now as far as Navy boot goes its way to easy in my opinion that's why most of the blue navy is out of shape and never see a weapon.
Field Med School is more physically demanding than navy boot. Our regular platoon PT in 1/8 was harder then anything they see here . Glad that most of my 8 years in the Navy was with a Marine grunt unit and I never see the blue side.
Absolutely awesome. Could you guys cover a little ROTC sometime as well? I plan on going to college for NROTC and I’m really curious what that’s like.
Most of these RDCs have little experience in high stress situations in the Fleet. They are most likely there to boost their own career and make rank. They put on a show to make you think your are a valuable asset. Well they need to because that is the truth. You are an asset. Unfortunately most of them don't know how to translate that into real world. Based on limited and isolated experience. Boot camp is a stepping stone to joining the Force. It's a requirement for every Sailor. Once you pass that initial barrier, you make the next list. What list is that? The list to join an elite force higher than you anticipated. 50% of you probably thought you could be a SEAL. Maybe 1% will be. The other 50% who had no thought of that will fill standard billets along with the rest of the dreamers. Some will be EOD. Some will go SWCC. Some will be Nukes and wonder why they didn't use their intelligence to get a civilian engineer job while they gave the Navy their brains and just be disgruntle. Overall, we need all of you. You are all high assets. Without you, we will lose our way of life. You are the future. Not just for us, but for your kids. Overall, we need all of our youth to at least try and make this world better and to protect our way of life. If it was easy, everyone would do what we do. Regardless, it pays off. Monetarily and with future security. It's not just job, but a way of life. Thank you for your service. No matter if it's a day or a lifetime!
