I'm now 73 years old and graduated from Coast Guard boot camp in June 1969. It was the experience of a lifetime and brought back mostly great and a couple of painful memories. It was well worth it. And believe it or not, boot camp back then was much worse than a lot of what was shown in this video. After boot camp, I was stationed aboard the USCGC Ingram in Norfolk, VA. After a unique set of assignments, I was promoted to Yeoman First Class during my first 4-year enlistment and finished undergraduate and graduate school while on active duty in 1976. I also spent several years in the Coast Guard Reserves. I owe my life and a diverse and successful number of careers in the public and private sectors to the USCG. I am proud of the men and women who serve this vital military organization, the nation's oldest and continuous sea-going service. SEMPER PARATUS!
Thank you for sharing . My son just left for boot camp and I was very worried because I was told we are not able to communicate with them for 5 weeks. I do hope this is the beginning of good things in his career and that he can endure the challenges ahead.
@@domesticdiva0324Jesus Christ will be with him and you both. Please stay close with and connect to God he can and will change your life. He loves you forever
I’m in the Air Force and I respect the Coast Guard however I know they are under respected. But after watching this video I definitely have even more respect for them. Their boot camp is no joke! I’m very impressed. They have done well in solidifying their spot as one of the military branches.
Not being an ass by the way. I rolled missions with Navy and Devil Dogs in my time of service s, nothing but love for all that served their branches and carried out their mission mindsets
My childhood friend worked his ass off to become a Canadian coast guard. He made everyone so proud, but he had a wakeboard accident that absolutely destroyed his leg and ability to walk, subsequently loosing said employment. Saddest story I know, and even sadder seeing what he had to go through to get where he was. He has since been able to become an EMS first responder, so that will do. Can't keep down a legend.
Make no mistake, Canadian coast guards do not go the same grueling military experience as the USCG. Still, very sad for your friend to jot be able to live his childhood dream because of an accident.
The Coast Guard is so underrespected. Not only do they have to be a military organization, but they are also every form of first responders out there. They aren't just people who drive boats, they're policeman, they're paramedics, they're firefighters, they're servicemen. They do more than just sit in the water all day and night, and I respect that.
Technically the US Coast Guard isn't a component of the US Armed Forces. It was a part of the US Treasury Department until 1967. After that it was part of the US Dpartment of Transportation. Then in 2003 it was placed under the Department of Homeland Security.
@@Truly1Tom Very interesting. I wonder why it was part of the treasury department, because doesn't that just involve our country's economics? I guess that's kinda why the four main branches don't really see it as a "branch" in all the memes then.
@@JM-nl9ow It would make sense considering what their jobs entail. Especially if you are in their special operations. Edit: changed from special forces to operations because green berets.

It's a game you play and it's only temporary. Once you graduate and get to your first station you make good, life-long friends (which are actually hard to come by).
I accidentally did that once. The Petty Officer I said that to made me stand in the middle of the room and do fast, intense exercises while screaming "sorry" as loud as I could.

If you don’t have a nice thing to say about our generation, then don’t say it. Don’t call a copout blame a screen for his attitude issues, because that’s not an individual thing.

It’s good to see that Cape May hasn’t changed since I was there in 1987. This training saved my life and the life of a fisherman caught in a extreme winter storm in North Puget sound in Washington State.
Well, first, they are called company commanders, not drill sergeant. And second, they have a max amount of time they can do it, that's why they time it, not cuz they want to, they have to.
@@viviangonzalez1398 Hello, True. Coast Guard recruits address all Coasties, even CCS, as "sir" or "ma'am;" yet, after the first two weeks, CG recruits address all NCOs by rank and surname, but continue to address all CG officers as "sir" or "ma'am."
When I was in Naval boot camp if you complained about thirst or the heat, the whole company would be "Mashed" where every single exercise in boot camp was continuously done for an hour straight on the hot "grinder" (field or asphalt). Some wussies caused us to do it several times during training. Guaranteed to make you lose five pounds after.
Some information that they missed is: They can send you back as many weeks as they want as discipline. But it also depends on what you’ve done. When you get set back you change to the company before you. Also, you do get breaks near the end of boot camp. The first time is in week 7 or 8 when you can go to the exchange and restaurant on base and also use your cellphone. The second time, you may go off base. However they do not allow you to go to the beach, because they can’t risk anyone getting injured. Once there was a girl who got badly hurt. I think she broke some bones? Anyways, I believe she was in boot camp for about 20ish weeks. But she finally graduated with my brothers company last year. Another thing is; someone got sent back to week 2 i believe for flicking the company company commander on the bus right after he graduated. Also, credits to my brother for this info!
I heard that story about flipping a CC off and getting sent back after graduation a long time ago. I always thought it was an urban legend. Did it really happen?
When I got off the bus for Air Force basic training there were a few females crying because they were being yelled at and that was in the 80's when there were no snowflakes.
@@babynyxe4784 I had a drill sergeant 1 inch from my face screaming at me for the first 5 minutes after getting off the bus, they don't do that anymore. The AF has gone soft.
Coast Guard dude: “Where do you wanna go?” Troop: “CALIFORNIA!” Coast guard dude: “your going to Alabama! Wooo!” now that’s so cold edit: thanks for the likes
“Crazy how the rule was fingers interlaced on the canteen” *Dude behind her quickly corrects himself and looks at her in terror to check if she noticed*
Well you're taught to use your command voice which basically means replace your throat with your diaphragm when speaking so you don't destroy your voice as fast
The us branches are basically just Army: screaming calmly Navy: w a t e r Marines: equivalent to hell Coast guard: screams loudly Space force: screaming on mars Air Force: fast plen go kaboom 💀
If your voice doesn't crack either A: You aren't shouting loud enough and half assing it or B: you have served for a few years already and your vocals are shredded.
I went thru in 1988, during the winter. I was lucky that it was snowing so we didn't have to do the obstacle course. Anyone considering USCG, make sure you cam swim or learn to swim prior to going in. This will relieve a ton of unnecessary stress. Also, get in shape (push ups, sit ups, run 2 miles frequently).
I went through a 5 month military school run by the national guard that was styled a lot like army boot camp. I got in trouble every day for laughing at nothing bc i just have that problem. I laugh at nothing when I'm just sitting with my friends or with my family.
I've heard from people in the army that the coast guard actually sees the most combat as they have to deal with pirates and smugglers constantly. I didn't know that and was shocked to hear it.
Proud to say I've passed this! It hurts, and the canteens aren't even the worst thing that they can do to you. Loved it there, though. The CC's are all great people.
@@Ferreira0504 there's a lot. Did you know that holding a matress over your head isn't just optional there, but mandatory? I do! You can also discover how much you hate "linehandling", or ways to ruin lunch (as they showed in here). They'll also introduce you to SNIPER POSITION, in which short range is NOT your friend. There's a lot they can do. It's not all mental, a lot is psychological.
@@Syncopated_ no it’s to understand that the people that are yelling at them are above the recruits and are in charge of the recruits and that the recruits should follow every order that they are given without hesitation. And it’s also as the comment suggest so they can work efficiently under stress.
@@yeetfeet1878 Yeah but that is bullshit. If you need to yell to make someone understand they need to listen you're an extremely crappy leader and shouldn't be in that position. You can also learn how to perform under pressure without being screamed at. It's a chance for those horny for power to pretend they are better than others, that's literally the only reason to use these training methods.
@@bubbleblow7461 It's to stress them and train them to follow orders blindly under stress. it's a conditioning.. basic brainwashing really.. break em down, build em back up.
Yes because the Coast Guard was going to let a camera crew come in and make their training look easy.... lol no. TRADOC across the board is similar it really depends on the leadership and the instructors over you.
Well done! The average civilian can't possibly understand the near-miraculous change a service member's thinking process changes into (thinking of others first, thinking of consequences for actions, thinking ahead, preparing in advance, being a team player,...). I'm an Army vet of 9 years, but ALL branches have the same molding process.
Well no, for the entire time you were enrolled, you were told what to do, where to go, when to go there and were controlled like children with extremely strict parents, so when you did something "bad" you got punished. You had no control over your life and you didn't need to practice self-control or self-discipline or anything, they took care of that for you, but then when you come home.......no one's there to discipline you and you no longer have the self-discipline you once had, you're like those children with extremely strict parents I mentioned earlier, running around, finally free!......and a mess And *none* of it is your fault, the system only cares to prepare you for whatever you're going to be facing during service, not to prepare you for what you're going to be facing once you go home, after you have served....after they broke you down..........
What I like about other branches of the military is that as the training goes on, recruits are treated more and more humanlike. In the coast guard, they are still yelling at the top of their lungs and being treated as little children right before receiving orders.
The last week or so they take the time to introduce themselves talk to you one on one and actually mentor you. They just aren’t gonna show that on camera. Its a very hush hush thing because when it happens and they treat you like military members it lights a fire under your ass. I graduated last week i would know
Having spent time teaching sailing in New London and having the opportunity to talk to many of these fine men and women, I definitely got an education on the coast guard as admittedly I didn’t know a ton about it but having now gotten to meet and hear the stories of those serving, I’m beyond impressed by the quality, professionalism, and dedication to learning that these men and women possess. Truly an honor to even be in their presence (also shout out to the Naval Submariners, especially those who recommended the book Thunder Below by Admiral Eugene B Fluckey)
@@definitlynotbenlente7671 The point is to initiate a sense of calm and focus by forcing them into stressful situations before they actually go to war. This insures that when they go to war they are calm and focused on their mission. Hope this helps!! 😊
I mean you could enter college to take a trade that pays well after graduation and not go after things like lesbian dance theory or underwater feminist basket weaving.🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
That Petty Offficer Gunn is a tough lady. I believe those drill instructors get a real joy having that much power. I served in the Marine Corps and the Navy. I remember getting chewed out by drill instructors a lot while in the Marine Corps. The Navy was a little easier than the Marine Corps. I served at Paris Island South Carolina for the USMC and I served at Great Lakes Recruit station in North Chicago.
12:49 Holy crap, that death stare... I know Coast Guard gets a lot of flak for not being "actual" military, but it's still impressive to see them go through this. Like those aerial top-down shots of formations. Those were pretty cool.
They are military and they server under both the Dept of Homeland Security and the Dept of Defense, just depends on the mission at the time. Not only are they the real military - they are the oldest version of the military, they existed long before any other branch of the military. They get a lot of shit because people don't know much about them but they are more hardcore than most of the branches. I still say the Marines is above them but they are right up there in 2nd place with the Army/Navy, easily.
The coast guard is military they have the same rank structure E-1,E-8, O-1 etc , Geneva convention military ID , the only difference is that they’re part of the department of homeland security instead of department of defense , it is legally by design that they’re not part of DOD it’s because they’re the only military branch allowed to perform law enforcement but during wartime they’re part of the navy .

6) Never gonna let you down
Remember, the stress you feel in boot camp is Normal and temporary
This applies to every day life too; be it civilian or military.

I could never go into any branch of the military, much respect to every that is serving and that has served

Drill Sergeant: “You takin a nice little break there, huh? 2 more weeks of bottle holding for the entire company.”
Well, first, they are called company commanders, not drill sergeant. And second, they have a max amount of time they can do it, that's why they time it, not cuz they want to, they have to.
@@viviangonzalez1398 I believe you, was just trying to make a joke
I wonder how long it’s gonna go
@@viviangonzalez1398 Hello, True. Coast Guard recruits address all Coasties, even CCS, as "sir" or "ma'am;" yet, after the first two weeks, CG recruits address all NCOs by rank and surname, but continue to address all CG officers as "sir" or "ma'am."
When I was in Naval boot camp if you complained about thirst or the heat, the whole company would be "Mashed" where every single exercise in boot camp was continuously done for an hour straight on the hot "grinder" (field or asphalt). Some wussies caused us to do it several times during training. Guaranteed to make you lose five pounds after.
Some information that they missed is: They can send you back as many weeks as they want as discipline. But it also depends on what you’ve done. When you get set back you change to the company before you. Also, you do get breaks near the end of boot camp. The first time is in week 7 or 8 when you can go to the exchange and restaurant on base and also use your cellphone. The second time, you may go off base. However they do not allow you to go to the beach, because they can’t risk anyone getting injured. Once there was a girl who got badly hurt. I think she broke some bones? Anyways, I believe she was in boot camp for about 20ish weeks. But she finally graduated with my brothers company last year. Another thing is; someone got sent back to week 2 i believe for flicking the company company commander on the bus right after he graduated. Also, credits to my brother for this info!
how did he think that would go lmaooo it isnt highschool grad😭
I heard that story about flipping a CC off and getting sent back after graduation a long time ago. I always thought it was an urban legend. Did it really happen?

I went thru in 1988, during the winter. I was lucky that it was snowing so we didn't have to do the obstacle course. Anyone considering USCG, make sure you cam swim or learn to swim prior to going in. This will relieve a ton of unnecessary stress. Also, get in shape (push ups, sit ups, run 2 miles frequently).
Omg I would be that one guy who accidentally laughs and gets slapped a hundred times.

I've heard from people in the army that the coast guard actually sees the most combat as they have to deal with pirates and smugglers constantly. I didn't know that and was shocked to hear it.
They also captured German POWs in WW2 before America even joined the war.
Makes sense.

@@Ferreira0504 there's a lot. Did you know that holding a matress over your head isn't just optional there, but mandatory? I do!

I never understod why they scream so often. I realize now it’s to make them work efficiently even under stress.
Pretty sure it's to put fear into the recruits.
@@Syncopated_ no it’s to understand that the people that are yelling at them are above the recruits and are in charge of the recruits and that the recruits should follow every order that they are given without hesitation. And it’s also as the comment suggest so they can work efficiently under stress.
@@yeetfeet1878 Well we're all right here I guess. But it's mostly about authority and fear, like I said.
@@yeetfeet1878 Yeah but that is bullshit. If you need to yell to make someone understand they need to listen you're an extremely crappy leader and shouldn't be in that position. You can also learn how to perform under pressure without being screamed at. It's a chance for those horny for power to pretend they are better than others, that's literally the only reason to use these training methods.
@@bubbleblow7461 It's to stress them and train them to follow orders blindly under stress.

WalkinOSF Yep!
Well no, for the entire time you were enrolled, you were told what to do, where to go, when to go there and were controlled like children with extremely strict parents, so when you did something "bad" you got punished. You had no control over your life and you didn't need to practice self-control or self-discipline or anything, they took care of that for you, but then when you come home.......no one's there to discipline you and you no longer have the self-discipline you once had, you're like those children with extremely strict parents I mentioned earlier, running around, finally free!......and a mess
And *none* of it is your fault, the system only cares to prepare you for whatever you're going to be facing during service, not to prepare you for what you're going to be facing once you go home, after you have served....after they broke you down..........

@Finn Inc. neither is the marine corps they are in the department of the navy
What I like about other branches of the military is that as the training goes on, recruits are treated more and more humanlike. In the coast guard, they are still yelling at the top of their lungs and being treated as little children right before receiving orders.
This isn't necessarily true; I remember my senior drill instructor made us all scream even after we became marines
The last week or so they take the time to introduce themselves talk to you one on one and actually mentor you. They just aren’t gonna show that on camera. Its a very hush hush thing because when it happens and they treat you like military members it lights a fire under your ass. I graduated last week i would know
This is not true at all lol, last 2 weeks your company commanders will drop the facade and treat you like non rates.
It just seems that way since their vocal cords are already used to the yelling by the end of training 💀
I wonder how much of the yelling was for show due to camera.
Having spent time teaching sailing in New London and having the opportunity to talk to many of these fine men and women, I definitely got an education on the coast guard as admittedly I didn’t know a ton about it but having now gotten to meet and hear the stories of those serving, I’m beyond impressed by the quality, professionalism, and dedication to learning that these men and women possess. Truly an honor to even be in their presence (also shout out to the Naval Submariners, especially those who recommended the book Thunder Below by Admiral Eugene B Fluckey)

I know Coast Guard gets a lot of flak for not being "actual" military, but it's still impressive to see them go through this.
Like those aerial top-down shots of formations. Those were pretty cool.
They are military and they server under both the Dept of Homeland Security and the Dept of Defense, just depends on the mission at the time.
Not only are they the real military - they are the oldest version of the military, they existed long before any other branch of the military.
They get a lot of shit because people don't know much about them but they are more hardcore than most of the branches. I still say the Marines is above them but they are right up there in 2nd place with the Army/Navy, easily.
The coast guard is military they have the same rank structure E-1,E-8, O-1 etc , Geneva convention military ID , the only difference is that they’re part of the department of homeland security instead of department of defense , it is legally by design that they’re not part of DOD it’s because they’re the only military branch allowed to perform law enforcement but during wartime they’re part of the navy .
