Hey, you uploaded this on my birthday! But in all seriousness, great job getting through Great Mistakes! I was there in June of 2007, and after that, it was the best 10 years of my life, and now I'm happily back in civilian life. It makes me happy to see the new generation kicking it into the high gear, keeping the Navy dream alive!
From a Seabee (with SCW qualification) to a Sailor, OOH'RAH, SAILOR! Much love!
Thank you for your service, and I’m so glad that I joined! I’ve been given so many opportunities and yes it’s been hard, but it’ll be worth it in the end! Hooyah!
im going to meps next week then shipping out, a little nervous and scared but also excited. you made this video so well
I’m so glad to help, MEPS is a headache but it’ll be over before you know it, best of luck :)
Been in the navy for going on 9 years. It’s funny to see how things change. Welcome aboard!
Thank you for your service!
Yes, things have changed. In my days, we had to wash our clothes every evening and hang them out to dry. San Diego boot camp 1956.
@@howellwong11 wow, and I thought I had been out a long time! I retired from the Navy in 2000 (joined 1980). Hello shipmate!
@@jessieball6195 Good on you. I got out in 1959 as a Lt (jg). The Navy has been good to me and I gained a lot of good experience. I am just prone to sea sickness.
So I just saw your eye consult video because I'm going through that and then see you in uniform and talking about bootcamp! Congratulations !
Thank you! It was a rough process but it has fortunately worked out for me!
Great video! shipping off in a couple days, very excited!
Best of luck future sailor! Thanks for watching! 💓
Bootcamp isn’t hard at all
Wow bootcamp
Thank you for sharing this info! My son just left on Feb. 14th for boot camp & it’s hard for moms! One question, does he need a lock for his personal things? Can he buy one there?
It looks like you are doing great! Thank you so much for your service & for helping us by posting these videos! God bless you!
Yes he will need a lock but he can get one in bootcamp! Thank you so much for watching, I’m so glad I can help! Good luck to your son!
Well currently looking into everything I can before joining in mid june so thank you for posting
I’m so glad to help! Best of luck to you!
I went to bootcamp 10 yes ago and p days still sound miserable…good stuff
Thank you! I leave for Bootcamp end of August n super excited but nervous! I’m studying n need work on running more.
Good lucks im boutta start my navy TH-cam journey too, I just graduated today and you popped up on my recommended
Congratulations 🥳
Congrats sailor!
Do you know if you can switch into nuke while in bootcamp? They offered it to me, but I said no. But now I am thinking of switching out of HM into nuke.
I ship in April I really needed this to know what to expect
So glad I could help! Good luck future sailor!
whats your rate?
Thank you for your video.
How long were you up till you were able to sleep
I’m so proud of you
Hello, I see very blurry on my left eye. Do you think they are going to disqualify me from joining the navy? Cause I’m completely blind on my left eye.
Do they do another hearing and depth perception test . At boot camp on p days ?
what's the pacer test like? I remember in high school, we just stopped when we can't run anymore
Yes! Just like high school
I am currently in the DEP and my temporary ship date is May 10. They sent a job request so my date might be earlier or later. I’m super excited but I’m struggling on what I should study before I leave. I don’t want to cram too much information into my head so what should I study specifically? What are the most important things I should know?
In my opinion, general orders, chain of command, and sailors creed are the main three. Rank and recognition is good but it’ll come easier in bootcamp once you start seeing people with different ranks.
FS here, shipping in a few days. Best detailed video I’ve seen, thank you!
thank you for watching! 💙
So now the 8 weeks now is ?
week 1 : p days
week 8 : grad
I'm currently losing weight to join the navy. I've already lost 20lbs since I started and I'm about 15lbs away from my goal so I hope to ship out late 2022 or early 2023
Congrats on the journey! I had to loose about 15 lbs to ship for bootcamp, just remember if you can’t meet it on the weight, don’t stress. Tape measurements are something that can help you out!
Omgg lol I think we were roomies the day you shipped out I’m redoing my process🥰 I was doing my process in august
Omg I remember! I’m so glad you’re doing well! 🤍
I just enlisted and I leave in 28 days. Do you think 4 weeks is enough time to go from no running to making time (15:30 for me because I’m 20)? I’ve never ran in my life before this.
Yes, if you don’t need a whole lot of time to make up
I'm also going to the nuke program I'll be shipping on Jan 17. Thanks for all the info in the video.
You’re welcome! Best of luck!
Good luck! I ship the 24th
Aye, my fellow nukes! I ship on the 21st of February.
Oh y’all fucked upppp
What personal items do they allow for women in bootcamp?
I have a question, can you bring like a sock bun(I forgot what they are really called) for your hair?I just have long thin hair so I want to make sure it stays up. Thank you:)
Yes you can! You can also buy some at the NEX there but it’s a great idea to bring one!
This was very helpful
So glad to help!
Navy Boot camp @ Great Lakes was a joke. Easy as hell. I went into the NAVY during Vietnam. After bootcamp I went to School A school at Great Lakes. I ended out becoming a SEAL . Which was extremely difficult in both training on both the body and mind. I was in great shape and It still was difficult. The mental aspect is just pushing yourself, never give up, always try to do better than you did before. Help any person who maybe having a difficult time esp mentally. Physically, try and talk to them when a chance arrives without causing yourself problems. Many times you are trying to encourage a man next to you who maybe struggling, and you may get your ass chewed out. But you are actually being watching on everything you do. Not just in the training, but also demonstrating leadership by helping a fellow trainee. As a SEAL you need to work closely with each other, it is the most important aspect of training. Being a recruit still try to have the mind set of pushing yourself first and then helping others. Each person has different strengths and weaknesses. Learning to help each other to strive to do better goes along way, but it's still up to the individual on what they want. You need to learn to push yourselve harder and further at every moment. I suggest if your going into the military to walk and run to strengthen your feet, legs but endurance. Do sprints. Also work on core and upper body strength. Do not go in over weight. If you are over weight, don't lose weight buy changing eating habits, you also need to exercise to gain muscle mass. You don't need to be extra muscular. Be able to do it least 20 pushups, always strive for 1 or 2 more reps. Do jumping Jack's, squat thrust, crunches. Do hand grip exercises also. Preparing yourself physically will also help you mentally. A good recruiter will help you and explain everything you need to know and answer all questions honestly. Not all recruiters are honest about enlistment, some are just trying to reach a recruitment quota. Always ask questions and as many as you feel is necessary. Ask a person who is in the military or Vet questions. Ask someone you may know to go with you to the recruiters office when talking to them about enlisting. Bootcamp is easy. Just listen, do what your told and without questions, unless they ask ,are there any questions. Bootcamp was so much different than it is today from when I enlisted, it is more relaxed LOL. Follow directions,don't complain, push yourself to be better each time a task is given. Try to help other when possible. There will be difficult recruits who may continue to cause problems or fall short of what is expected of them . If they continue not to help themselves, let it go. If you need help don't be afraid to ask others. There is going to be times of stress,you may not care for a particular person or each other. I guarantee at the end you all will be sisters and brothers. Good luck to all. 🇺🇸
Hey I ship in 6 days so September 13. Is the 1.5 run really that hard or is it just a mental thing?
I would say more mental but you should be able to run it before shipping
@@briannawood2124 okay okay thank you.
I will shiped out next Monday.Thank for sharing 😘
Good luck future sailor!
@@briannawood2124 but my english is not gud,thats why iam so nervous 😭😭 ,maybe when they yelled me i dont know how to say yes or no 😅
Don’t worry, I had about 3 girls in my division that Spanish was their first language. One was still learning English! You’ll be fine
kinda random, but as someone who also wears glasses, do we get to keep our current glasses or are we issued new ones ?
Issued new ones at bootcamp and you can get new ones once you get out!
I was supposed to wear glasses, but I trashed them before my rdc seen them. My vision isn't horrible though
I leave March 14th, your video was very helpful to watch. I have been struggling with studying my start guide. What was it you volunteered for? lol I was waiting on the story
Oh haha I volunteered for RPOC first, then I became an RPO in bootcamp! I helped run the religious ceremonies on Sundays! Glad I could help!
I leave March 15th as well!
@Shakera Coleman
@Ashanti's Lifee I’m sure I’ll see you at MEPS this Monday! I’ll keep an eye if not an ear out for you! Good luck!
Thanks for the information, feb 15 th is my ship date wish me luck
Thanks for watching, good luck FS!
Went to boot camp back in 2004! It was hell, but cool
I barely remember anything because I was in such a daze!
I went in Jan 2002 when all the current barracks were under construction. There was no TH-cam around for us, we had to go off word of mouth 😆😆😆
@@mr.russell5395 no TH-cam for us other, and I was in an old barrack also. I believe there was a couple done and being used when I got there though
I want to go for RPOC first but i’m afraid of messing up and losing it at the beginning and not being able to try again. What was your experience like for that amount of time and any tips?
I was the first one to volunteer and I didn’t really have any clue what I was doing other than being yelled at then relaying orders. I didn’t enjoy being responsible for all the stupid stuff my division did, and I was fired for not being on time after doing something I was told to do haha, if you want to do it you just need to be confident in everything you do
Hi, I ship out June 23rd and I’m going into the nuke program as well and I have a few questions regarding nuke training. Like what are the rules on liberty? Specifically when am I allowed to drive? How far am I allowed to drive? When do I need to be back in my barracks? When am I allowed visitors? I’m asking because my bf graduates from Paris Island about 6-7 weeks into my nuke training school and I want to see if I could attend or at least see him before he catches his flight back home. Thank you in advance!! :)
You get liberty on the weekends, and you get to drive once you make phase which will be at least 2-3 weeks once you arrive. You could put in a chit when you get here and have a conversation with your SLPO to grant you special liberty for the weekend. You should be able to do that then, they’ll explain about the phases in INDOC a little more. But should be able to visit him, hope this helps!
Omg ! I ship the same day!!
@@briannawood2124 since our daughter doesn't get a lot of leave being in nuke school, her sister drives down from Norfolk (she's a CS and hates it) and we drive from Arkansas to see her often in Charleston. She's lucky to have extra bedrooms.
I want to join the Navy but i don’t even know how to start, I’m doing a swimming class already and I’m ready a book for the ASVAB test. I don’t know about recruiters or what to do inside there or the procedure . Im so sorry for myself 😅
You just gotta pull up and get paperwork started!
Study for ASVAB and do the practice tests. Your local library has materials you can use. I say this because the higher your ASVAB test score the more career fields will be open to you thus giving you power in your future Navy/life opportunities. Also there are TH-cam videos on the advantages/disadvantages of length of enlistments. Good luck and always keep a positive attitude. Oh yes always respond in a loud voice, they like that.
@@samuelhay1347 Thank you
what’s it like for vegetarians? also how are the showers? how do u brush your teeth, shower, do your hair, etc?
There’s a small variety of vegetarian options. Showers are short with big divisions. You wake up early to brush your teeth and do your hair. Showers are routine so whenever they tell you to
As a girl how do the periods work especially if one come while your swimming
You’re given feminine products in bootcamp, it’s required you always carry a few products in your backpack and you can wear a tampon while swimming!
My Daughter went there last night. I was wondering what is it like. This is very helpful thank you.
Thank you for watching! Best wishes to your daughter!
You are welcome. And thank you😊😊
Wait, so for the run, the requirement is something like 1.5mi in 13 minutes. But it's measured with a pacer test running back and forth between cones? How does that work? How does it convert?
Pacer test is like an entrance test, the PRT is a 1.5 mile in whatever time correlating to your gender and age
Just curious how much rest did you get during that time?
Depends on the activity of the day. Usually about 7 hours though
hey i leave feb.22 the only thing im really scared of is the run and how is it for the push ups? any tips as a female and how to get thru bootcamp?
Push-ups are pretty easy to pass, buddy system works to your advantage.
As far as tips go, I would just say to not get caught up in all the drama, make a few friends to help keep you motivated, send letters back home to anyone, and remember why you started! Bootcamp is easy, you’ll be scared at first but you’ll get used to it and you’ll be a sailor in no time
Hey I leave February 22nd as well!
@@evasanford7586 ship out ? or the hotel?
@@arianaramirez3171 I ship out on the 22nd hotel 21st
I leave in two weeks but I’m still struggling on my push-ups 😔🤞 any advice ?
Honestly I think the best way is going from an incline down to normal push-ups. So like if you have stairs you can slowly decrease how high you start! Unfortunately other than getting your chest and triceps worked out at the gym, you just gotta do more push-ups 🤣
You’ve definitely got time to make improvements on it and bootcamp will help you improve too! Good luck future sailor!
For the official PFA, do you have to run the whole time? What if you get tired? Etc..
You can walk, your RDCs will just keep yelling at you to run
can we use Apple Watch at booth camp?
No electronics
What shots do they give you? I've heard about the peanut butter shot and I'm a little scared about that...
I think it’s just all the basic ones you normally get at the doctor like flu shot, meningitis shot, etc. Peanut butter shot hurt pretty bad but it’s just a lot of pressure, mine only hurt for about two days
It's not that bad, just a little lumpy. It disappears after a couple days. No worries
With the peanut butter shot, my sister said to massage it out.
All you need to know is get some sleep the night before you arrive because trust me those first two days sleepy fucking blows that's fucking hell ... I never fell asleep standing before.
How long was your walk to the ship? 😬
Depends where you’re walking from lol but it was pretty far from everything from Ship 14
How many shots in total did you get? And how many girls slept in one room?
What would happen if you fail the pacer test? Do you get sent home?
I don’t think it matters whether you pass, it’s mainly RDC assessment like 4 weeks later
If you fail your pacer the second time I want to say you get ASMO (set back in training). If you fail it a third then they send you to separations where you can fight your case to stay or go home. Things that can put you in seperations: failing pacer, rdc assessment, swim, popping drug test, injured, mental case, weight, behaviroal ( breaking CO's top 6 sexism, racism, fratenization, recruit to recruit contact, hazing, substance abuse) In all honesty, if you go to seps you are treated like trash.
Hey! Im going to ship out soon , what should I expect regarding the physical training test and swimming qualification while at boot camp?
For the prt it’s going to be push-ups, planks, and a 1.5 run. For the swim, be able to float and tread water for a few minutes. If you can prevent yourself from drowning you’ll be fine 😂
@@briannawood2124what about pull ups ?
Not a thing for navy
Thank you shipping out March 10th going for HT
Hooyah! Good luck!
I came back to this video 😭 my recruiter is asking for my college transcripts but I can’t get them because I owe the school money. I already called and everything but they won’t budge. I don’t really know what to do now.
When I had to get mine from my college, I brought my recruiter with me to the college to get a copy of mine straight away. Not having them is only a big deal when it comes to going in as a higher rank, which you can also submit later as well
@@briannawood2124 I have around 60 college credits so I’d definitely want to put those in, I’ll try to get him to contact my school because they refuse to give it to me since I have a hold lol
After the first call did you get a chance to call again? Or not anymore until graduation?
Yes you will get at least 2 more phone calls! One like week 4, and a call after you finish Battlestations! You can earn more phone calls from your RDCs if you’re division is pretty good
@@briannawood2124 are you using your phone to call home or another phone?
No it’s a pay phone
Hi I leave Aug 8 wanted to know if I need to bring my own underwear and bra or do they provide that as well
They will provide to you!
Can we go with braces or should be taken off before going ?
I think they have to be removed before
Neat
That's wild that they let you sleep when you first got there, because I was hanging on by a thread staying up for 36 hours straight. 😂
Are the bra’s issued to females sports bra’s ?
Kind of, they are sport but they go off bra sizes rather than small, medium, large. You get a dress bra also!
How long ago was your boot camp?
I went from August to October 2021
Thank you for the info! I know you get 3 guaranteed calls. Are you able to make other calls to loved ones? If so, how early can I expect to hear from them?
You get 3 time slots and you can call whoever during that time, your division might earn more time
@@briannawood2124 thank you! Do you remember around what week you were able to make your first call? I’ve been patiently waiting for a call but I feel like it won’t be until a few weeks in :/
It should be the weekend of week 2
@@briannawood2124 thank you for your help!!
My daughter was ship a week ago,it’s so hard already not knowing nothing about her ☹️ in what week will she be able to receive my mails.
About week 2 is when she should be able to start mailing back!
@@briannawood2124 thank you!!
I am actually worried about the running part and the swim
If you can float, the swim will be a piece of cake. If you stay mentally tough and push through the run, you’ll get there. Definitely keep working on both if you’re nervous, but bootcamp will help with some of it too!
It's easy as hell, don't worry about it! That's if you're an athlete
DragonsOfThunder 😂
Are u a sailor
What did you pack in your bag?
I have a video on it!
ok thank you !
did you work with guns at any point?
Yes week 5-6 you will go to the fun ranges to learn how to operate an M9 Beretta
What's up Wood! Great video. Can't believe we went through this a year ago - Huynh 433 lol
Haha what’s up! Thank you for watching, it is totally surreal how much time has flown by, hope the fleet is treating you well brother!
Hoyaah NNPTC, Im here rn and it’s kicking my…. Rear
They weren’t joking when they said it’s hard, same with me haha
I leave in 2 weeks I’m worried about the push ups
Only advice I really have is to do more push-ups and try to escalate off a wall moving downward, push-ups are pretty easy to pass in bootcamp, don’t worry
Good ole NNPTC
I ship out June 28🎉
Where can I study the start guide?
There’s a pdf on google if you search Navy Bootcamp START Guide!
@@briannawood2124 Thank you!
Is the first night still no sleep until the following day?
It’s just really late sleep, like not until 2-3 AM
@@briannawood2124 what time did you have to wake up after going to sleep around 2-3am?
Not 100% sure but around 6-700
This is what I was looking for , was scared we had to be up still till the following day
Nah just scare tactics
Is bootcamp 8 weeks or 10 weeks?
I believe it has switched to 10 weeks
When were you able to send your first letter?
For me it was around my second week, once we were out of P-Days!
@@briannawood2124 thank you sis
😀congratulations
Thank you!
How many phone calls home did you get?
I personally got 3!
are you allowed to wear contacts?
Contacts aren’t allowed in bootcamp, but once you’re out it’s okay!
Im planning to join soon i want to be head po i will probably end up going to Officer School when im able to
Can you talk about the days you get to write your family’s ?
What about them?
Hey I'm considering enlisting should i? And also the box you send home does your phone have to go in it?
Do it if you want to haha. Your phone goes in the box because you can’t keep it. When I went through they weren’t sending the boxes home, so you’d get it on the day you leave.
@@briannawood2124 thank you
I’m really worried bcz my hair isn’t all one solid color bcz my recruiter told me I could dye it black and last minute told me to dye jt natural and it looks so bad
If they say it’s bad then you’ll have to fix it or cut it :/
@@briannawood2124 is there anything I can do once I get there to fix it?
Yes you can get box dye to color your hair, when you go for haircuts first thing they’ll fix it
@@briannawood2124 omg thank you so much cause my recruiter was just like no your hair isn’t all one color they’re shaving your head
No they won’t shave it
Can we keep a little mirror??
No I don’t think so since it’s glass :(
I ship out August 24th. Nervous but Excited
It’s normal to be a bit nervous, good luck!
9 more days... Good luck!

@@briannawood2124 I MADE IT! LOL I've been at NAS Pensacola for the last 3 weeks
Now that’s an amazing update, congratulations sailor! Welcome to the Navy!
I leave February first and all i’m scared about is the run…
Definitely one of the things I struggled with too. You just have to keep running and push, you’ll get there!
Omg girl I leave the same day as you
@@nathaliemartinez8362 omg yay !!!! wish you the best !!
Hello hero. Do navy accept someone that have a small tattoo on his hand ??
Yes the Navy accepts most hand tattoos! As long as they aren’t vulgar
@@briannawood2124 it is an ⚓ and written Muay Thai under it. Am a Muay Thai coach in Africa that's the name of my institute, ⚓ Muay Thai.
I would definitely bring it up with your recruiter so they could check the regs but doesn’t sound like too much of a problem!
Hi is it 10 or 8 weeks thank you I leave Oct 23:)
I believe it’s now 10 weeks! Best of luck to you!
@@briannawood2124 yup ima die💀😭
What kind of questions are asked in the moment of truth?
Mainly if you did anything illegal before bootcamp that wasn’t reported when you joined
@@briannawood2124 that’s it ?
Pretty much 🤣
@@briannawood2124 are you hooked to a lie detector test? Lol
Did u guys did PT during rom
I only ROMmed for a day and we did some light self PT
@@briannawood2124 i hear in the navy you guys dont do command pt like the other branches. U guys get time off to go to the gym ow whatever, is this true?
At my command we have mandatory PT, so it depends if you’re already in the fleet and how good your PT scores
@@richardgeorges3405 Majority of the commands in the Navy don't have mando PT. We didn't even have a PRT for 2 years because of COVID lol. The first PRT since then was Around fall of 2021
What is nuke program?
A job on a nuclear submarine
It’s Nuclear Reactor Operations for the Navy
I meet with a recruiter this week. What should I expect? Like the process. I’m kinda nervous
It can vary a little bit depending on if you have something that the military wants to look into more. But first is usually a practice ASVAB, if not then you go straight into paperwork for your background checks, they set up a time for MEPS, go to MEPS and do your final ASVAB and get basically a medical physical. If you pass then you go and pick out your rate and swear in the same day. If you don’t pass, it depends on the reason and it could be that you need more paperwork or that this might not be something for you, but your recruiter will keep you updated
Damn they gave girls a choice to cut their hair!? Wow.... ya'll were blessed, because it wasn't that way when I went in
Yes it was a blessing because I love my hair 🤣
@@briannawood2124 yes, definitely a blessing
My fiance is paying for my plane ticket do you keep ur wallet or have to mail it back home?
You could keep your wallet
How many written tests are there in bootcamp?
2!
PDAY’s would probably have been the shittiest part of bootcamp for me. After that it was a breeze
Facts
How many questions are on the dept test at bootcamp ?
It’s like 30ish from what I remember
Do you remember how many questions they ask about the general orders?
Like 4-5
Thank you
How many questions do you have to get right to pass ??
Do they know how to cut African American hair?
Yes, if you mean can they cut it well thats a little bit more of an opinion
Leaving in 14 days
Good luck!
Update I enlisted I leave in October
im gonna join soon
I leave next week on the 8th
Good luck!
