- In Episode 3 of All Hands Magazine’s mini-documentary series “Making a Sailor,” the tired recruits meet their permanent recruit division commanders and experience the culture shock that is day-to-day life at U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command. (U.S. Navy video/Released)
“You will not be coddled nor disrespected.” Lol you’ll be disrespected. Straight up verbally violated😂
they are not disrespecting, they are strengthening your character
Kingdragon131 - The EveryGamer Well my RDC’s went in😂 and said some wild shit.
Yeah damn right you will be disrespected. They got to break you down before they strengthen you
Jonathan Aguilera lol trust me I know.
Kingdragon131 - The EveryGamer Nah.... You Will Be Disrespected 😂
Freedom Hall has the driest air known to man kind.
Freedom Hall sucks so much
I hated that place so much.
all those buildings its impossible not to wake up with a sore throat
Never has a truer statement been uttered.
FUCKIN TRUE
5:25 LMFAOO that guy didnt have enough time to take off his smurfs😂
lol... he's just standing there....
ITS YA FATHA nah he’s just training to be a damage control men lol
Dude I did not see that shit! Haha!
Yo I didn't even catch that lmmaoooo
@Rahsaan Moore You stupid man LOLLLLLL!
I went through in '99, this was like a walk through my old high school. Everybody saying this is to easy is not taking into account the fact that this is a recruiting video. The navy isn't going to show you recruits at week 3 or 4, when they are completely sleep deprived, before they adapt to their new existence. The first week is the easiest week in a lot of ways, everyone is still super excited to be a part of something new. After that novelty wears off, before you become accustomed, life is kind of hellish. The good old days!
Its the great mistake then and is still the great mistake now.
backed out after i went through meps. didn't make the same mistakes these idiots did. other branches can be good sure but not the navy
@@EVSkecthCode Couldn't hack it? Joining the military was one of the best decisions these sailors made and sets them up for life with a paid education, extremely low-cost healthcare, and a whole slew of veteran benefits. Don't feel bad, though, not everyone has the mental strength to do what they've done.
@@Thecolonelshinn you're right. not everyone has the mental strength to choose to be a salve. these people must be some special kind of stupid
@@EVSkecthCode Your comments are almost as cringe as your weaboo profile picture. Obvious troll is obvious.
Starting around 3:00 the older looking one in the back, standing the wrong way and almost falling over. I couldn’t help but laugh
Under the clock to the left
Hi Jax so I just realized the one who almost fell over was the other guy haha
Yeah me too.lmao ! This is gonna be hard for those FS that didn't attendPT every thursday morning.
Maybe he has some difficulties with right and left which is not uncommon. It takes practice and since it is a new environment, fatigue, stress..
can have a factor on your abilities. I feel kind of sad for the guy as he seems a little lost but with training, I am sure that he will do fine.
My graduation was about a week ago and Petty Officer Sperry was my 2nd RDC while Chief Stigall was the 1st RDC of my brother division. The things in this video dont even scratch the surface of how intense and stressful bootcamp really is. If you guys are about to ship out to Bootcamp, just prepare yourselves mentally and especially physically. The 2 months go by extremly fast but the experience is what you make it. If you put in 110%, you'll come out with 110%. I would never change a thing about bootcamp nor could I express how much I've learned about myself and how far I can push my limits. Good luck to the new recruits out there and hooyah!
Is cheif Stigall rate DC cause I'm pretty sure I had him as a cheif instructor for DC school and he was about to go become an RDC and he had braces
saxon gregory Yeah he’s DC. I just graduated about a week ago and he was brother divs lead RDC.
Yes good luck to all of the recruits. I just remembered we as a company were cycled in our uniforms with the windows closed because some dummy turned in a cigg butt he had found under the M-16 gun racks,dummy.
@@carrotcake5688 yeah he was a cool cheif at my A school he would tell us sea storys and all kinds of stuff like port visits and stuff like that and what it was like to be a DCmen in the fleet he was a cool cheif
Lol stressful? This shit is a walk in the park
8:20 “Because as long as people in this world want to take your life because of where you live, because of where you breath, you must be ready.”
Damn that really hit.
You guys forgot to turn your heads when sounding off. Start over.
Hooyah zero!
ONE!
When you mess anything up they will say "As you were" and that is when you know you have to start all over again.
1:57 "honey where is my supersuit!?"
Come to think of it, he does look like Frozone.
I always thought he voiced him in the Incredibles
How are 28 recruits unable to pass a baseline PFA? This failure falls on the recruiters and the individual for lack of preparedness.. If anyone fails this most basic assessment, with the exception of a medical condition, the Navy needs to hold their recruiter responsible. Like the Chief said, "If you're not ready, we don't need you".
Camel Tow recruiters in my hometown had all of us meet at a football field and made sure everyone would pass the PFA including weight standards.
Ikr ?!? Lol as an army prior service guy trying to go navy this is like a camp compared to what we went through
Course those they probably toned it down too for the video of course
My kid just graduated a few months ago and he said this is way toned down, I get that for the PR purpose. I was pleasantly surprised to hear from him how difficult it actually was compared to how I envisioned it to be. I was in the Marines so I didn't expect much, the Lizard Man restored my faith :).
When I went, he only checked my bmi,, not my PFA scores
Buddy in the back @0:34 LOL
"What the hell did I get myself into"
WITHDRAW 😭
My RDC’s were way more intense during there introduction.
I feel like my RDC's were way more chill than these one's XD. Division 190 ftw
My RDC was intense but he was from Ghana and no one could understand him anyway. We got the jist of it though.
@@SenseiDonGraham what's an RDC, and why the fuck was he from Ghana lol
Recruit Division Commander. The Navy's Drill Instructors. And just cause someones from another country doesn't mean they can't become US citizens and then serve.
@@A_Pancake ohhh. Makes sense, he was most likely trying to get a citizenship. That's pretty cool
I had Petty Officer Sperry or now Chief Sperry in bootcamp as my brother divs RDC. That man was something else, he was calm but if we fucked up he beat us or made us take our racks apart and put back together. I have so much respect for him tho he's the reason I'm up for 2nd class soon. Really hoping to cross paths with him again during my Naval career.
It's like my recruiter told us: He might treat you like shit today, but who knows? A few years later, he's buying you a beer.
"Really hoping to cross paths with him again during my Naval career."
Beat him and make him put his rack together.
@@teleman07 He'd probably beat me first 😂 man went to Afghanistan a few times
He’s in Yokosuka now I saw him on base
@@davidabrego3139 yeah hes a senior chief now
Honestly. This kind of view into this has me feeling like I missed out on something by opting out of this life path. My respect to those of you who chose this life. Very commendable life decision. 👏👏👏
P-days ohh man worst part of bootcamp lmao
Allo Vico agreed
That's what truly gave you PTSD.
No kidding lol, once you finish P-Days you're already a sailor lol it's smooth sailing from there (aside from failing fitness requirements and battlestations)
i hated p-days, i still do.
P-days were like aids lol, even being a week 1 day 1 recruit was better than being in p-days
when the cameras are around, they're very nice.
Shipping out 27 Sep 18. I cannot be more thankful for The Navy for allowing me to give my life another chance and to make a 180 turnaround. I'm more ready for this than I have been for anything in my life. Awesome video.
thus is crazy i would never been able to do this without throwing up i fully respect these recruits you can tell this is one of the harder times for recruits because even if your mentally ready for the camp your body is not physically ready for the challenges and training yelling and being yelled at constantly without any breaks to rest i have full respect for these guys
This brings back memories, 35 years ago When I went through Basic Training at San Diego in 1983, the Instructors were called Company Commanders, mine were both Chiefs, and we called them and all Company Commanders “SIR or Mam’m” and our Processing week or zero week was called R&O (Receiving and Orientation) and we were separated by sex by then. It’s interesting to see how much has changed and how much remains the same.
This series is outstanding! I look forward to the next episode!
I was there in 1990. Totally different. We had Companies. Our instructors were called Company Commanders. They didn't wear Marine uniforms. Whats up with the Chief telling them that if they aren't ready they aren't needed. It's his job to ensure that every one of the recruits is ready. If the recruits aren't ready they need a new Chief.
There are just some people that won't ever be good enough to serve. If you can get 75% of the recruits ready in 8 weeks, they've done their jobs.
Chiefs say stuff like that on purpose to mentally check the recruits to see if they really want to be there.
From what I can tell it’s the recruiters job to get them ready
I agree
So fun watching other people go through what you went through. At times it can be tough but you will get through it. I love my Drill Instructors. Yes recruits, they are real people outside of all the yelling and screaming, they just want you to succeed.
My 2nd RDC was the best mentor I ever had. Not a single person in my division disliked him.
Graduated in Fall 1995, Division 384...got out as an AZ2, Disabled Vet...I’m proud that they are showing the real deal and they’re not easing up on these young Sailors, but I don’t hear any cussing, so I’m guessing it’s for the cameras...only difference is back then our RDC’s had dad breath and big Tom Selleck mustaches and looked like retired wrestlers, now they look like Calvin Klein models(ha ha)...and Petty Officer Tine is one beautiful woman, I love how she's stern and no bullcrap but still feminine...God bless our Sailors and our military!!!!
Oh yeah they are holding back on the cursing.
Johnny Jota it definitely is for the cameras, it helps that this is an integrated division
I agree with you about PO TINE...when I was watching the video I thought she ought to change her last name to "Time" lol. It sounded cute when I first thought of it but i could hear her say ..No thats ok I'll stick with what I got.
Yea it’s for the cameras. Petty officer Sperry’s favorite word was Fuck and loved calling us dumbasses and he busted one of his eardrums on the first week because of how loud he was screaming. They also don’t show the table flipping or chair kicking or the throwing of gear adrift.
That petty officer Tine sure is beautiful I would marry her in a minute
Wish me luck, I leave September 4th ⚓️
Move quickly, sound off, know your general orders (that's what we had in the Marines and Army), and give 100% at ALL times. You'll do fine.
You should be ok, it looks like play time now
I leave September 13th
Me too!!
As a sailor who very recently left boot camp all I can say is do what you're told and study and you'll get through bootcamp easily
You will deff be disrespected.. but don’t take it personal
They have to keep the video clean
Well... Its not personal.. Got to remember they also at one point got yell at too.. Got to break u down to build u back up.
ah yes I remember getting called a weak body male all the time
Boyyyyyyy just wait for ACTUAL bootcamp😂this is like an add
True that. lol Way more cussing.
That one officer fine as hell I would a messed around n winked or something or licked my lips 🤣🤣🤣
I see your comments everywhere lol
Watch out people, Edgy McEdgerson is here!
Then gotten a captains mast while you’re at it.
Do you want to get killed women or man (I dont assume genders)
@a kid in africa that lives in a pit fuck you
This is great, Thank you to all the Men and Women who go though Hell and high water to defend our country.
"Tell my RDC that I did my best and that I was buried in the leaning rest."
Man, only been a month and I already miss my RDCs.
AEC SLY.
MM1 LESLIE.
It seems so difficult and a culture shock at first, but after a few years you realize you do all you were trained to do automatically. You realize how good of a job these men and women really trained you.
I'll never forget turning in that hardcard after the final day at medical on P5. Chief literally said "fit for f*cking full, suggest you hydrate" lol...
I remember on 1-1 day of training after our swim our 3rd RDC said get to the tow line and oh boy. He said “finally i’m about to get my fucking time back. APO come here” he demonstrates all 12 exercises and with a grinned expression we all hear the words “you all have 30 seconds to hydrate” Bro that was still the worst beating i’ve ever gotten.
My brother is at navy basic right now- he is the section leader, and is currently kicking ass. He graduates in a week. He was recently one of the very few to be specially selected for honor guard, and will be in Washington DC. soon, for the next 2 years. So proud of him!!!!
1:56 this guy looks straight outta a early 2000 video game
Im 17 years old and planned on joining the Navy since I was 7. I found these videos today and was delighted. I have a hatred/ fear of needles. Just needles. But I will be let this stupid fear stop me from achieving my life goal of becoming A Navy and then a Marine after I served a few years
Yooooo Petty Officer Tine was an RDC in training when I was in boot camp! Glad to see she switched that Blue rope for a Red one!
Is she still there at Great Lakes pushing ?
@@davidmachado4400 yeah I had her when I was there. She didn't like me.
@@raikiahfaircloth9070 she probably only liked the females ...lol
I am a female lol
@@raikiahfaircloth9070 are u still in ?
Another excellent production on boot camp. I remember Great Lakes but nothing is what it was when I was there.
Go NAVY!
Lmaooooo 4:45 he was in the whole wrong division 😂
Sperry is a BEAST, man takes pride in his role and looks the part. Motivation right there ;)
I ship out next Monday, I’ve been more than ready for a while now
David Lopez I ship next Wednesday✌🏼
Trust me when I say this, you won't be ready until you go through it, and only when you are done will you know you were ready. It's a horrible experience that make you an amazing sailor and human being if you take what you learn and apply it.
Good luck son it’s a whole different world out in RTC only the tough minded ones survive... remember that! Stay on ur p’s and q’s
David Lopez I wish you luck👍🏻 I have four more years😂
Once you clear medical on P-4 or P-5, that's when the real fun happens. You ever seen the inside of a room sweat? You'll be fine. Its funny at times.
Hands down best video on Navy Boot Camp I've seen! That's the real McCoy without question. Look forward to the next episodes, 4 through 6. If you're not ready, after all, they don't need you.
World of advice, if you join the any branch of the military be prepare, do push ups, sit ups, run a lot before joining, it will be a less hard.
Also listen to earrape at max volume with headphones, there oughta be a lot of in-ear yelling
Soo very thankful to have these videos to watch and follow along with my recruit!
Learn your chain of command you forget you’re screwed
Juan Navejas who’s the MTD LCPO?????
Hahahah yeah
Duce bigalo Male gigalo garcia
*"HYDRATE!"*
Albert2341 oh god hearing that gave me flashbacks
Reminds of my time there I graduated in 1975. My company won color company. It was winter and we marched in the snow and cold. Looked forward to time in the drill hall
Good one! As for the PFA failures. I can only give my example. I got DEP in the Navy 11 months before Boot Camp and what I did was work out in the gym 7 days a week and added basic swimming. By the time I got to RTC, I was ready. You got to prepare for training before you ship out if you want to be successful in overcoming RTC. From what I have just seen, I wish I could go back to RTC. However, my memories of RTC San Diego was enough for me.
K LB: RTC San Diego. 14 November 1989 to 20 January 1990. Company 035 Division 6. I felt depressed when I found out that RTC San Diego was on the chopping block.
Don't worry though by the time you get to the fleet, you will gain a bunch of weight, everyone does, it's normal! Only in Boot and A school you will be in shape. Once on a ship, you won't have a lot of time to workout. On my ship the only personnel that worked out and used the ship's gym were the Officer's, because they didn't work much. Out at sea, everyday is a Monday, you will eat your 3 hot meals a day, and work 12 hours or more, the rest of the time, you try and sleep if you can. Good for you, if you can still get to the gym after working 12 hour days, 7 days a week out to sea! Oh, yeah in addition to your normal job, you will have to probably mess crank and also be assigned additional duties such as maintenance on water tight hatches, fire station's etc.. Lot's of work, but I enjoyed it, those 45 days straight in the Indian Ocean doing nothing but circles in the water went pretty fast!
JENDALL714: Gotta disagree with you regarding no time for PT. You gotta make time for PT to maintain body fat levels and not get your evals lowered because of PRT failures.
Nobody really cares about PT in the fleet, it don't mean nothing in the fleet, you will see what I mean. You will do your PT test when you get back on land, and your buddies will grade you, LOL! I always "passed". This isn't the Army or Marine Corps. Good for you, if you have time to work out or are able to use the machine over all the Officers using the machines. Also, no where to jog on a ship, unless you are on a carrier, even then you aren't always allowed on the flight deck.
JENDALL714: I am not going to argue with you about PRT priorities in the fleet because every command is different. I know in my last command it was taken seriously with 23 PRT failures due to over body fat. All of it was because they didn’t have any time for PT.
Very intense very real to life .Great job
Great moment
If the Lizard Man is not in the next episode, I'm done watching.
Camel Tow he’s like the indoc Chief, once they go to their RDC’s they don’t see him much
Then that makes me sad :(
At least a short cameo appearance once an episode to satisfy my need for seeing recruits getting humiliated and destroyed.
@Jake Chief Kalaw in the second episode
*Lizard King*
At 6:02 are people going to be holding your feet to do sit ups? Because i don’t know if after I train (before boot camp) if I will be able to do it without sit ups, or if I am seriously unable to do proper situps by myself
I sure remember the P-days. Signing name and SSN on everything. The best part of course was the haircuts. Once the head is shaved come the reality that this is the military. I of course became an SH and was later giving the haircuts as well as receiving them. After the P-days, that's when the real training begins. Anchors Aweigh
I'm in rotc..very proud to know half the drill commands there teaching all those people
Me too
JT oh boy where are youuuuuuu?
Feb 4th is my shipping date. I can’t wait and I won’t fail. I’m going on my run right now. I need to get there ready.
These guys don’t have that intimidating voice/look like mine did.
Joseph Nguyen trust me EO1 Sperry is definitely holding back😂
Louis Guico I truly hope so. Lol.
The 9th Spade you can have the voice/look on camera.
Bro i had AM1 Milton and that dude is fucking psychotic😂😂 best RDC i ever had no doubt about it
Were you in Division 003?
I love this. This is a dream to work in such a organised, pressurized TEAM.
I didn’t even have my actual RDCs in P-days but I guess since we got some “special” sailors it’s different?
nick Cocuzzi ehhh, we got our RDC’s halfway through P-Days
nick Cocuzzi that was a few years ago
I got my RDC the morning after I️ got there. Aug ‘17
Me either. For the first 3 nights at least, then shit got real!
my division got them like halfway through
Thank you for posting this video series! Can't wait to see the next episode!
This PG compared to what I went through in January 1994. 3/4 of stuff they taught us went out the window. Once you hit the fleet the real fun begins.
Love this. The roving watch had to wake me up at 4:30 to go to dive motivation. This life is worth it. You will make a family you never knew you had ND1(DSW)Towry
US Navy, I might be there in about 12 years I don't know but keep training people and keep pushing America to a safe country 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This is giving me flash backs
Great series! I'm set to ship out December 12th. I can't wait.
I started January 10, 1994, also in Great Lakes. The hardest part is the cold. It is brutally cold there in the winter. Every morning it was somebody's job to clean the 2-inch thick ice block off the *inside* of the glass. During the night, water vapor from everyone's breath would hit the windows and freeze. Uniform of the day included a bath towel, folded lengthwise in thirds, wrapped around our neck and mouth with a ski mask pulled down over it to keep our heads warm. My job was Yeoman, so I had to keep tabs of where everyone was at all times. Since everyone had ski masks on, I learned to recognize them by the shape of their head.
Volunteer for a job and do it well. That makes a big difference to your RDCs.
You're gonna love it. :)
I am surprised about the way they do the PFA, are they allowed to fall to the floor during pushups or stay longer than a second on their back during situps and then continue the PFA?
Good times! Brings back memories!
RhettyforFun
Right? Soooooo many mempries!
RhettyforFun
good times??!?? that looks like hell man
Hooyah 11 years in and love every second
P-days and the deck log were legit the worst part of basic
worst part was trying to stay awake during the boring classroom CBT's
LOL
Krazie what’s deck log?
PlayStation Hero is where all the males keep a tally of their penis sizes.
I feel bad for all the starboard watches
I ship out to Army basic in exactly 90 days. Much respect to these sailors! Had no clue how tough Navy basic actually is!
I served in the British Royal Navy from 1991 to 2010, the training is not even close to this, we where not allowed to shout at the recruits, had to take there feelings into account it was a joke, the US training should be adopted over here.
I was in from 84 through 90 going through bootcamp at Great Lakes. In our company we had a U.K citizen that joined the U. S Navy. He was shocked at first but made it through bootcamp. Later on he attended radio man and crypto school and was sharp as a tack. I went on to NTC Gunners mate A school and attended training with other sailors from Australia UK. Taiwan and the Philippines. The courses were challenging and every one had one goal, complete the training. The Navy tightened the standards especially with Damage Control training. We learned from the HMS Shetfield attack during the Falklands war how serious Naval warfare could be.
Lmao boot camp was kinda hilarious at times. Seeing people cry after getting yelled at. Comedy gold
After those shots, their arms have to be really aching the next day.
I don't remember even feeling the pain. Constant beat down
Cody Jordan
True. When I got my shots it didn’t effect me during the pfa. Especially peanut butter. People were freaking out about that
The RDCs that are FMF Corpsmen ain’t no joke. They been with Marines.
SMMMURRRRFFSS LOL man they do PT in a gym lol.....man it was the barracks or outside for us...ive been screwed. man being a flag carrier was one of the coolest jobs I got to do in boot camp.
My friend is going into the military next month. I'm praying that she makes it through.
Man I can’t wait to go to basic training wish me luck
Daft Decker lmao
my chief at taps-"goodnight jackholes" us-"goodnight chief"
They always say, "It's nothing personal." Yeah, it's not personal to the RDC's! Why would they be offended by their own yelling? lmao.
Lmao what 😂
EO1 Sperry is the man! I was in the 2nd division he ever pushed and he was awesome.
I see hes got a CAR too. Bad ass Seabee.
Yo my boy Sperry!
Petty Officer Sperry is a bad ass. God bless him.
this episode hyped me up to go, I ship September 19th!
Im the 18th
Nebulous same, I go to Meps the 18th and leave the 19th
Mine is September 24th
its watered down for the camera but even then its just 90 folding and 10% actual trainning.
This is pretty accurate minus the cussing every 2 seconds and the ass whoopings once theyre fit for full duty
Very informative video series, now im actually considering the navy.
Sooo many memories
This was our house growing up. Our dad was a Navy fighter pilot. Us kids grew up and went into the world with ZERO fear.
3:04 dude didn’t know which way to turn😂
If that last speech doesn't motivate a recruit, they need to check their pulse. 🇺🇲
But where was sperry when I was there?? 😳😍
Haley Lacroix for real, I got sent to ship 14, Petty Officer Sperry would be a great reason to wake up to those reveilles in the morning.
Jared 42 😁
is ship 14 still all male? was there june 2015
YoBatz Yep, ship 14 is still all male. Senior Chief Long is there if he was there in 2015 I’m not sure.
Jared 42 Its Senior Chief Perez Garcia now
Petty Officers Noble & Dirkson JUL 86-SEPT 86 Great Lakes NRTC I'd like to thank them for what they did and taught us...HT 3 Richards 86 - 90
Yo petty officer Gonzalez was my RDC wow time flies
I was enlisted in the navy. I’m just curious. On a ship would a JG who works on the same ship continually refer to a Lt as sir or ma’am???
3:07 Tripped
On average, regardless of what military branch one joins, how long does it take for a recruit to become "homesick," or "bored, or "depressed?"
"Hydrate guy"
I would love to see an RDC's reaction to a division that was literally perfect from day 1
Chief Stigall beat me 10 times in the 4 days I was in division 312 , hooyah beach body
What I loved is everything we did in pt and 'punishments' the RDC was right there doing it with us.
Set back...aka ASMO'ed
Wut
Yep. That's proper term
Pour it out for the asmos
I like Chief Stigall the best! He comes across as "hard but fair" (ok, all of the instructors are) but he just seems to have a bit of "X factor" that I can relate to.
I KNOW THEY WERE TIRED😂😂LOL BUR IM GLAD THEY KEEP TRYING TO PUSH THERESVES
I went to boot September 1962
Retired March 1985
This is soft compared to then.
Have found memories of my 1903 Springfield LOL
My RDCs called themselves the recruit killers....to this day I still believed them because they were telling the truth. But I’m grateful for all the beatings they gave us because it only made us stronger.
I love when RDCs cussed at me.....keeps me pumped up and helps me focus. I missed those days.....
