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.

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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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 💀
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.
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)
UPDATE : After he lied multiple times about his leave, found out that he was actually discharged right before 12/2023 because of issues with, to nicely put it, with his commading officers. Seems he didn't learn much after all. Very discouraged of him now because he had so much benefits ahead of him only to now throw them away.

@@islander1260 (Read the update...it was there before but it was removed somehow...)

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. That’s a parenting thing. Also, he just did something that I literally can’t do because I’m disabled on my left arm and only have 4 fingers. I can’t do a pull-up! You still have to be proud of him for actually clearing BT. That’s called being a good parent. C’mon.
@@thalfieHi ! I'm sad to hear of your disability, first and foremost. Yet, not everyone is to be included in this comment. You sir, have not lived with him for nearly 10 years and see all the potential he does have just fall by the way side. His mentality, and this is why I said what I said in regards to generation is, he expects everything to be handed to him without effort on his part. (Incorrect!) He has all the keys and just fails to realize all he needs to do is apply them to the locks in his life and the fullest potential of opening great things in his life are there. By the blindness of the screen, he'd rather play video games then apply the educational background he once seemed interested in. As far as a parenting thing, only one can do so much - whether be a biological parent or step parent. Once the person is over 18, or 21, you can only stand back and watch as the child forms into what any parent wants : a successful person in his / her life. Thank you for your thoughts and hope this clarify more as to what I said what I said. If you still don't understand, in time, perhaps you will. That is OK too, as we are to learn something new everyday. As a teacher from 8th grade said to us, "if you aren't learning something new everyday, you either aren't paying attention, or dead." Straightforward and more importantly, to the point. Take care and wish YOU....all the best!
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.
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).
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.

@@warthogs3098 i doubt it... ik plenty of guys who said the same thing before they went to boot camp for marines.. they were the first ones to cry when the got yelled at😂
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..........
I see me myself as more of a Fedarl Law Guy instead of military but the Coast Guard would be the closest to that since they help out with Life Gaurds and them.
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).
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

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
Sierra 112 here (6/1982) - I think one of these companies was Sierra as well. This brought back a lot of memories. Same barracks, though the bunks were newer. It looks like it was the hooks not in on the bed that got you in trouble, with ss it was not having the combo on your lock set to zero. God forbid a locker was not locked - White Tornado (CC trashed the whole place). I'm not going to tell a "log cabin" story but here's a few things that have changed. First, nice sneakers. They use New Balances. Ours were canvas - think PF Flyers. One of my feet got so bloody they eventually allowed me to purchase a decent pair of running shoes at the Exchange. I also noticed them using M-16s for marching/attitude adjustments. We used M-1s which were heavier and longer. Overall, though, brought back many memories.

Lastly, thank you for your service at Benning.
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. That’s a parenting thing.
Also, he just did something that I literally can’t do because I’m disabled on my left arm and only have 4 fingers. I can’t do a pull-up!
You still have to be proud of him for actually clearing BT. That’s called being a good parent. C’mon.
@@thalfieHi ! I'm sad to hear of your disability, first and foremost. Yet, not everyone is to be included in this comment. You sir, have not lived with him for nearly 10 years and see all the potential he does have just fall by the way side.
His mentality, and this is why I said what I said in regards to generation is, he expects everything to be handed to him without effort on his part. (Incorrect!) He has all the keys and just fails to realize all he needs to do is apply them to the locks in his life and the fullest potential of opening great things in his life are there. By the blindness of the screen, he'd rather play video games then apply the educational background he once seemed interested in. As far as a parenting thing, only one can do so much - whether be a biological parent or step parent. Once the person is over 18, or 21, you can only stand back and watch as the child forms into what any parent wants : a successful person in his / her life.
Thank you for your thoughts and hope this clarify more as to what I said what I said. If you still don't understand, in time, perhaps you will.
That is OK too, as we are to learn something new everyday. As a teacher from 8th grade said to us, "if you aren't learning something new everyday, you either aren't paying attention, or dead." Straightforward and more importantly, to the point. Take care and wish YOU....all the best!

Thanks SO much to all active & retired US Coast Guard members. You are amazing and much appreciated.
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.
Hell yeah we are. The amount of CPR I'm required to know for our Small about station is insane.
@@xtnsn4395 You had to do more than the basic CPR class at a small boat station??
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.

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).

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.

We have no self discipline
LOUDER CADET!
WE HAVE NO SELF DISCIPLINE!
@@Enderplays12 Exsume Sir I believe he is trying to say that the majority of the country isn't really discipline.
Plot twist, Louder, faster, nothing else matters.
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..........
I could never go into any branch of the military, much respect to every that is serving and that has served
I see me myself as more of a Fedarl Law Guy instead of military but the Coast Guard would be the closest to that since they help out with Life Gaurds and them.
If you wanted the easiest one if you did join its eith coast guard or air force
Come to the UK where the drill instructor doesn't have depression
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).

Sierra 112 here (6/1982) - I think one of these companies was Sierra as well. This brought back a lot of memories. Same barracks, though the bunks were newer. It looks like it was the hooks not in on the bed that got you in trouble, with ss it was not having the combo on your lock set to zero. God forbid a locker was not locked - White Tornado (CC trashed the whole place). I'm not going to tell a "log cabin" story but here's a few things that have changed. First, nice sneakers. They use New Balances. Ours were canvas - think PF Flyers. One of my feet got so bloody they eventually allowed me to purchase a decent pair of running shoes at the Exchange. I also noticed them using M-16s for marching/attitude adjustments. We used M-1s which were heavier and longer. Overall, though, brought back many memories.
