Even after all this time, one Bootcamp memory still stays with me. I was in one of the integrated divisions. During one of the first events of Battlestations, we had an older female recruit, that everyone just called "Moms", roll her ankle pretty badly. They were going to pull her out and push her back to finish with another division, but the division came together and convinced the instructors to make a deal; If Moms was able to do the events, we would carry her between events. The instructors agreed, warning us that we just drastically increased our chance of failing. So for the rest of the night, on the runs between events, one of us carried Moms on our back so that she could participate in the events(which she did fine on). We passed Battlestations, with the instructors saying that they've never seen anything like it.Our division even got a shout out about it during Graduation.
That's the true spirit of being a Navy Sailor and a true shipmate!
I think reason why they allowed it is because you guys were working as a team and using teamwork they way it's supposed to be done.
That is awsome...takes a team to run a ship, we had a guy break his leg a week before deployment, the day we were leaving he hid in the torpedo room, well, he made all 7 months, kept that quite...we made chief together...
Now this is what an act of kindness looks like.
It’s not a graduation that makes you a sailor. It’s who you are and what you do that makes you a sailor. Congratulations and thank you for being a wonderful sailor.
I appreciate it!
Tiantian Chen what? Lol
It is LITERALLY graduation that makes you a sailor.
Chim Chimmy haha exactly my thoughts 😂😂
@@schnitzelmopi graduating from boot camp does not make you a sailor. Once you pass Battle Stations, they hand you your Navy ball cap, and you get that final stamp on your hard card along with the final signature, then you become a sailor. All you is March around for 10mins and stand at attention for about two hours.
The graduation is basically a wedding ceremony..not attending graduation is like getting married, but only going to justice of the peace to be married legally. You don't have cake at the end
I salute you sir for pushing through and not giving up to whatever pain you we're having. I will be shipping Dec 2019 and I'm really praying that my knees will work with me throughout bootcamp. I really don't know what i would do if i fail Navy bootcamp...
Boot camp broke my daughter as well. She ended up with a stress fracture in her ankle and spent six weeks in RCU, She didn't get a ceremony either. After battlestations she spent another week in THU awaiting orders to her A school. She is a UT and just took her advancement exams , so I am hoping to have a UT3 very soon. Pound mom of a seabee.
MY RDC was a UT1 haha and yess I think boot camp is such a standard thing that lots of people get hurt or stress fractures. Good luck to her!!
Where’s she stationed at? I’m a CM stationed in Gulfport MS nmcb 133
@@Josh-lu1lp She is in OKC. NMCB 22 She's only a reservist for now because she wanted to spend time with my dad. Unfortunately he passed away while she was still in Great Lakes.
I dont think woman should be in the military
I would have edited thw video to I never got my ceremony, it would have thw same effect as this title shipmate. Hooyah
Great videos! I was a submarine Storekeeper. I knew I had made the mistake of my life in boot camp after several weeks. I didn't have a rough time, but decided that Navy ship life was not going to be what I thought it was. I wasn't even rated and had no idea what my job would eventually be. I was in class one day and a chief came in and shouted out a list of several of us to ask if we wanted to go to seminar to find out about the submarine navy. Luckily, my scores were somewhat above average and my name was called out. Immediately, I thought that this is my ticket out of the regular navy-not knocking them, but I just wanted to be something great and be part of an elite group in the navy. I was gonna make my time in exciting and special. This was the best decision of my life. After boot, I went to sub school in New London, CT. Then, again I lucked out, and was picked from a list of candidates to go to storekeeper school in San Diego, CA. I had to ask what an SK was.....But I was more inclined to be administrative/stock minded rather than mechanical. After that, I was assigned to the Rayburn and sent to Connecticut to await for the return of the Blue crew from Scotland. Turns out, someone aboard was diagnosed with diabetes and that left the complement of the crew one man short. I flew to London, then Scotland and to the sub moored at Holy Loch. I was completely green and was bowled over when I went below into a buzzing/humming million dollar piece of machinery. Ballistic missile submarines have every conceivable type of the latest technology in the world in one vessel. My whole point to this rather long comment is to those of you who are ready to enlist or ship out to boot camp. In boot camp, LISTEN and learn everything you can. Consider the submarine service if you qualify. I served with some of the tightest and finest crew members in the navy. You will go through some of the most extensive qualification and training the navy has to offer to earn your dolphins. Submariners - We volunteered twice!
SK2-(SS) from '71-'75. USS Sam Rayburn SSBN 635(B)
interesting story!! I believe the SK has been disbanded as a rate and taken over by SH..which is pretty much the same thing. I have a lot of friends go on subs and they enjoy it for the most part. I am way too tall to go on a sub
Good story my man go navy xusstrenton yes it was a bitch wouldn't change a thing loved the navy
My son is a Submariner. He is in school at Sub Base New London
Being on a sub is not elite.
HollywoodBob39 Mr. Sam
Hey Austen. Way to stay dedicated through the pain and getting out of Great Lakes. And don't worry about it, I cried after battle stations too. Keep up the content. I'm going to show your video about your self confidence to my son. He can learn a lot from it and I hope it motivates him to stay true to himself whether it's following in my footsteps and joining the Navy or not. Fair winds shipmate.
Hey Josh I appreciate the kind words. How long ago were you in? And good luck to your son on his decision.
Wow I didn’t expect a response. Im sure you get a ton of comments on all your vids. Anyway, I was active from July 2003- July 2007, then reserves from August 2007- July 2011. And I’m now waiting to hear from my recruiter to go to MEPS to go back in the reserves.
Thanks for sharing. no matter what, ceremony or not, you accomplished your goals, Thank for your services. Love your eyes.
I've been retired for 20 years, and I still remember details like this from my Boot camp and active duty experiences. I've got stories for days.
I retired once...true story..
@@s.porter8646 I'm not sure I'm convinced, but let's roll with it. Then what happened!?!
@@tangoindiamike9189 1995-2016 TMC/SS RET., Hows that work with ya
@@s.porter8646 👍 That works! You know I was just clowning with ya, right? 😊
@@tangoindiamike9189 yea man, I can dig it, I don't have a glass jaw, dad was a HMCM...my balls got kicked a lot
Good story. It illustrates that you have to be prepared for anything no matter how good you feel or bad... Of course we want to face challenges in our best shape but what builds character is when we successfully face challenges when we're at our worst. That in itself is what makes a warrior.
You inspire me I've always wanted to be in the U.S Navy.
I went to boot camp in Orlando 1982. Before I went in I was into BMX racing, was on a swim team, worked out all the time and was in great shape. The PT was so easy in the Navy that I was in worse physical shape when I graduated than I was when I went in. Our obstacle course was a jogging path in the base park that had exercise stations placed along it. Jog, do some pushups, jog some more and do some sit ups, jog a little more and do some pull ups lol
You're doing your best helping your brother Austen ,It's just speechless Austen Ahhh ;)
My best friend from bootcamp got ASMOD from week 6 to RCU and had to spend 2.5 months there for a stress fracture she got during a sustained run. She hated it there...
I can’t imagine 2.5 months...that has to be horrible
I had the same issue as her
What’s her name .went in December and got out at June .Was asmo week 6 to rcu.
Me and 5 other guys from my division had to go to FIT (same place) for our swimming. I was there for 5 days and got the heck out of there quick as possible. That place was depressing.
Same for me
Im shipping out in 2 weeks! Thanks for the Video!
Ooohh idk if I'd feel comfortable doing battle stations with several injured people. Good on ya for getting thru it all without major injuries.
You inspired me to finally go into the Navy! I graduated last Thursday and I am at my A school now. Thank you for inspiring me to go, even if you never see this.❤I always wanted to go but never really thought I could do it. But now here I am! Thanks so much Austin! 😊
Is it worth it ? I wanna join but I’m scared 😂
@@DenuardRit totally is! Honestly it is really fun and you build a lot of friendships and memories there. I loved it. You should definitely do it :)
Depression is part of navy life gotta handle it I recommend a good workout
that is true...and this is another reason why I lift haha
Back in 1988, if you said the words “I’m depressed” they would have immediately put you into the 16th division (Now the RCU)
Ong no one has to sit there thru depression
I got pneumonia in the middle of boot camp. I thought I would get set back, but I was in the hospital during service week, so I got to go back to my company.
I went to Navy boot in San Diego and, loved it. Son went to Great Mistakes and hated every minute.
Wait I thought the only Navy boot camp was in Great Lakes, Illinois?
They closed San Diego in 92.
I did Navy basic in Orlando in '79. I was amazed how little pt we did, just the bare minimum to get by.
Lol Us covid graduates watching this thinking “we were supposed to get a graduation?”
Yeah I bet y'all are honestly I know it's not close to what happened to no grad for you I didn't get to have a graduation for hi going in to middle school that's why I hate corona virus. But still no competition.
Your videos help me so much . Thank you
Thank you for the video. I enlisted in the army a while ago, but my dream was to go for the navy. However, could not do it because it did not fit with my law school program. I love your videos and your insight, so keep going!!!!
Broke my hand 1 week before I was suppose to leave for boot. Chief was not happy. Lost my contract for airc. Have to wait till October to get cleared.
I went through in November 1977. I didn't pass in review either. The night before Graduation, they asked who dosen't have any family coming to the Graduation? I stepped forward with about 6 or so other guys. They were looking for extra base security for the event. So, I agreed to that and I can say after 8 weeks, I had a awesome time that day! Plus after graduation, they gave us a full weekend of liberty.
I almost lost my arm in basic. I had to finish it with only 1 good arm, the other went went completely numb but because it looked good on the outside, I wasn’t allowed to go to sick call until I got to AIT.
Good ol' battle stations. I have glasses so I had the do some of it blind. Fun stuff.
Sick trick at the end brooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
it wuh kewl wuhnt it
Austin it is clear and obvious to anyone who watches even one of your videos you are a true one hundred percent US Navy sailor I'm terribly sorry that you did not get to graduate at a ceremony in front of your parents and family but you are still an inspiration to our countrymen and and all around inspiration two young guys and girls looking to join
Made it through boot camp in 07. No sickness. Never had wisdom teeth pulled. Still have all of them. And im 30. No serious injuries
So glad for u
I was in bootcamp during the beginning of COVID and Also dealing with a gruesome knee injury to the point I literally couldn’t walk on it, I was able to push through the entire 8 weeks, almost getting pushed back due to my injury. We didn’t get a graduation or capping ceremony. all we got was a congratulations from our RDC’s when we got back to the compartment. It’s been 6 months throughout all this and I haven’t been able to see my family due to COVID
Stay strong.
Being a career Marine, I've served aboard many Navy ships, but the main highlight of my career was being a Plank owner of the USS WISCONSIN BB-64 from July 1988- July 1990. Some of the best men I've ever known have been sailors, I have utmost respect for FMF Navy Corpsmen, Navy Pilots, and sailors in general, You get us to the fight and help us with it!! Semper Fi, and Sail on!!
Not many Marines get to be plank owners of a carrier I imagine! We had 2 Marines aboard our ship when I went underway. Thanks for your service!!
Austen Alexander the Wisconsin BB-64 was the last of the Iowa Class Battleships....but you're right, few Marines are plankowners, but more are being made as the Navy is cranking out all the new ships these days....
Austen Alexander I was part of the first AND LAST Marine Detachment... Wisconsin was commissioned in October 1988 and Decommissioned in October 1991 just after Desert Storm....that's VERY rare in both of our services....
Hey Dave, It's unusual for me to hear that from a Marine. Of course you're probably a lot more mature than the younger guys. My ship sent me to do a couple of tours of Shore Patrol in San Diego.(1986-87) What we did more than anything else was pick up Marines from jails and bring them back to their commands. These were usually guys that had gotten drunk drivingarrests. We were cool about and I would quietly say to them "once we get in the van I'll take the handcuffs off." Every once in a while though there would be a young Marine who would start yelling "Im not going anywhere with no squid." I would try to calmly explain that it was just a ride. If they kept it up and wouldn't just relax and get in the van after a short time the response that I would give was "OK then jarhead, this squid has better stuff to do so......you can just stay here then". I would get in the van and leave. The senior guys at shore patrol had instructed us to do just that. It's refreshing to hear respect from a career Marine. Please understand that I have much respect for the Marines and that I even did then although sometimes we butted heads a little bit. I was only in the Navy for 4 years. I was an E-5 in 3 years (CAP advanced to E-5) and at my separation eval my CO told me that If I was going to re-up I would leave his office an E-6. The Navy kind of rescued me because the girl that I was living with had kicked me out and Colorado Springs is cold in the winter. The Navy saved my butt and I got to go to some neat places
Barry Fohn nice to meet you Barry, Semper Fi, shipmate,...I retired in 2005, after 23 years. I served in Beirut, Desert Storm, Somalia and Afghanistan....Love you, brother!!!
I went thru boot camp in San Diego in 1970. Had a real nice graduation ceremony. Have no idea what "Battle Stations" is. We never had anything like that. I enjoy these videos.
Precious little puppy
When I was in, we called that unit "Sick, Lame and Lazy." Lol
When I came down with Rubella five days before the big ceremony .My Company Commander had me lay under my rack in the day time.But then again this was way back in the 70's San Degio. Good Times.
I fell in week 7 of Army basic training in the summer of 82. Moved a vertebra over in my back. After going to the hospital and being on bed rest and profile for a week, I tore my profile tag off and threw it away. Went back to training like nothing happened. Didn't go back to the Dr like I was suppose to. Finished basic and AIT with that untreated injury. It had been one of my dreams to be in the military since I was a kid. I wasn't going to get kicked out on a medical.
Much better then the army! I fractured my pelvis in 3 places when I was in basic training and they never took me out of training. Never gave me proper rest or medical attention. I had completed all graduation requirements except the last PT test but I genuinely couldn’t do it because the muscle and ligaments attached to where i fractures were would cramp up and swell and couldn’t move my hip at all. After 6 months of being injured they finally sent me home. Keep in mind this was an injury that should have taken only 6 weeks to fully heal.
did they even take a look at it?
Austen Alexander they took several sets of x-rays and MRIs but they never showed me what was on it only told me that I was hurt. Only once did I see briefly an x-Ray where I could see one fracture. It wasn’t until I saw a civilian doctor that they showed me xrays where you could see where the fractures had been etc. the army is just pure disorganization and unfortunately I’m not the only person this has happened too.
Now I’m trying to re-enlist in the navy and I’m having a hard time getting a waiver because the paperwork the army gave me is constantly saying something different was wrong with me and from different causes.. like I said, disorganized as fuck.
What a crazy experience. When I was in basic I got pneumonia about half way through. I spent time in ward A then went to Balboa. I had to pick up pretty much from the start again.
I was offered medical discharge from basic for a knee issue, I failed my second PRT. I opted to do work week and retried the PRT and passed. That may be be one of the best decisions of my life.
Austen, you aren't a failure or a fraud-you're a picture of what people who really want to serve are willing to do.
Went through back in 2003. I absolutely loved Service Week/Fast Cruise. For Battle Stations, we were up for 24 hours. We woke up normal and had the usual day. After dinner, Battle Stations commenced. Battle Stations was essentially a normal day, followed by a night of drills.
I didn’t mind the fact that it was pouring all night.
Clickbait...you obviously graduated, just didn’t make the ceremony.
You two are children lmao
Definitely
o.0 was in 17 1/2 yrs. ill be researching this. have a nice day
I went to that Room because I had to escort recruit from my division was sick, his going to get better the next day. Because there was an inspection around the room.
good job!
Enterainment👍enjoyment👍 your climbing everyday towards your goal.
I'm trying haha Thanks Doug
My son ran into some leg problems and had the same thing happen to him one week from graduation. His division went on without him. 7 or 8 weeks later they cleared him to do his PRT and Battlestations. No ceremony for him either... :/
outstanding videos, very interesting.
i appreciate it !
Had 88 in my company in 77' ended up with 50 graduating. My 1st class SK1 had a full beard and big ole gut! LOL
I remember watching this video before joining the Navy, I didn't know much at the time and how RCU really was until I actually got there. I got sent to RCU during P-Days because of something that popped up at the time, they told me I had something called Cold Agglutinins (which thinking back on it, it might have been a miss-diagnose because all the symptoms I had were linked to COVID which wasn't very known at the time.) I was put into RCU for 2 months after being in the hospital for a week to make sure my blood count was improving, those were the worst 2 months of my life. Everyone in RCU (Purgatory as we liked to call it) all wanted to get out, whether it be medically separated or just going back into a division but I believe you whenever you say it gets gradually more depressing as the days go by.
You are a good man.
I enlisted back under Jimmy Carter. It was rough and there were a bunch of pits off Sailors returning from Vietnam. The techniques used, by today's standards will be considered ilegal. But they made me tough. 6 years later, I joinned the Submarine force. That was the toughest Duty in my 20 years in. I think one thing leads to another and everything made me tougher. I almost lost my left leg in an accident, I was hospitalized 60 days, I got out, they told me I was going to get a med discharge as I could not run. Well this is the Navy, I swam the PT test and I stayed. In Hong Kong, during the British Domination, I caught the Hong Kong bug. It manifested 2 weeks under way. I could not be medivac. Almost died. Survived and did my job, proudly. NAVY made me tough and I would do it again all over. GO NAVY.
That's what everyone is going through right now. I graduated on January 27th and no one gets a graduation anymore with the Covid-19 situation. They quarantined all of the RDCs so they sleep in the ships with the recruits! It's a crazy time to join.
Jarromy Myers Yea I just graduated from mcrd San Diego and they canceled my graduation. I’m currently at SOI. When I was shipped to bootcamp, the corona virus was not even a thing.
I enlisted in the Navy because I thought it'd be neat to go to sea after my first tour ashore. Then I got orders for 1st Mardiv. I became a sand sailor. Close enough
I went to Great Lakes and I have no memory of "Battle Stations". To me, the hardest part of graduation was the whole the first 2 days and the ongoing drill ceremonies with the spinning the rifle and all that marching stuff. Bootcamp was much easier than "A" School.
I’m actually planning to go/ looking into the Navy. How long are you usually on the ship for deployments? How did you go about choosing what you wanted to do? What should I consider when looking at what I want to do? Both my parents are army 😅 and your videos help out lots!
Hey Layla! The deployments usually last between 5-7 months but some are shorter or longer. Talk to a recruiter about what you want to do and then realllyyyy do research on what you would actually like to do. Use your hobbies and interests to consider your job. Don't let the recruiters talk you into another job. And I appreciate that a lot!
I know I’ve heard 6-9 months on average depends also on your rate too. Really look into a field you enjoy I am doing aviation but look into the jobs before you sign because I’ve learned a lot about rates the navy has that I never thought would be a part of the navy.
Layla Wash you take what they call the ASVAB test. It doesn’t matter what your interests are if you don’t score high enough. The higher the score, the more these jobs open up for you. Talk to a recruiter. They’ll even give you a practice test.
Hey Austen you should make a workout/lifting video!
I have a lot on my channel already! haha check them out if you'd like

Love it
I had to skip graduation too bro in 06. Got on a plane, and left straight to MA A school.
God blessed you 💪🏻💪🏻
Dang, sorry you didn't get the graduation experience, but at least you made it. I went in as an HM and wound up dropping A-school a little over half way through.. They put me at TPU and there I became the CO's driver. Now, I know TPU sucked, that's where they had ppl who were caught AWOL and sent back for Official process (and kept in restriction for 3 months upstairs), but as the CO's driver I had quite a bit of freedom! lol NTCGL was fun for the time I was there, but shot got real when I finally got sent to LSD 52. XD Hoo Yah! - AD3 VAQ-133- OEF 06
COs Driver! haha I bet no one wanted to mess with you. OEF BABY HOOYAH thanks for your service 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm subscribers and big fan from Philippines take care and God bless😘😘
Do a video on hacks of boot camp! Of course put in the video how to shave fast and correctly
this is a good idea....be on the lookout for it!
Good story. In the marines I would never want to go to PCP similar to your RCU. We had a couple guys with broken ribs etc that hid it. Congrats anyway. I know ceremonies are important, but hey you made it out of that depressing recovery unit. Rah.
Good job commander stupielll
Sick bay commandos.
Hooya RCU
My worst depression was in AT A School in Millington, TN. It got so bad I took a voluntary 1 week set back because I couldn't keep up with my studies. That was in 1964.
Keep making videos...... And thank you for representing for The U.S.A. Sorry they didn't get an official graduation. Maybe one day of the military sees this video they can set up a special graduation ceremony just for you, cuz you deserve that.... Anyway cool videos, hope you and your girlfriend are going well and you guys find a place that you can call home/ with a yard soon so you guys can settle down and when are you going to meet eachothers family's? Call her dad! make it a habit to call him every week so that he knows your THE MAN who he can trust in to make sure his baby girl is going to live happily ever after. Really hope you guys maintain your relationship and make a family one day. You two are super cute together and I wish you both the very best!!!! Keep up all the good work!
Damn bro I'm sorry you never got a ceremony!
Ik how you feel I only made it to week 3 when I got separated and the worst part was that I didn’t even get a chance to do my first PI or exam
I was in the Air Force ' 71 - ' 75 . Being over weight I flunked my draft physical . Took me four months to get in due to the AF Recruiter had to get a weight waiver . I signed up in April ' 71 & finally sworn in in August ' 71 . I was at Lackland Air Force Base for 4 months instead of 6 weeks . I was in the Medically Repairable Squadron (aka fat boy program)for 2 1/2 months to lose weight . I lost 59 lbs . When I graduated my family couldn't afford to travel from New York due to my dads job was on strike & he had to be home for picket duty or the Union wouldn't pay my parents bills , give money for food etc . It was lonely for me not having any family to watch me march across the parade ground & see me graduate from basic training .
I just graduated from Navy Bootcamp. We got out a week early and no graduation due to covid 19. I wanted my mom to run to me and give me a hug more than anything. But they just shipped us off to A school immediately. I know how you feel sir.
@@chinadog5380 Congratulations ! Sailor from this Old Air Force Veteran & VA Retiree . Cheers ! What A school & where is it located .
We called RCU recruit prison😭.
"...She loves to chew on stuff."
- throws dog to the side.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It broke me 2 months.....went through the same thing was stuck in bootcamp for 6 months.....i was in RCU for 3 months it was so depressing to be in RCU...i was stuck in a wheelchair for 2 weeks. You're lucky I passed everything n got hospitalized 4 hours before battlestations. I would give up anything to do battlestations and graduate
Your free resources link is kind of malfunctioning. It recognizes I’m sign up as a basic member but when you go to click on the USMC/AF/Army/Navy prepa it takes you back to signing up. If you click below it on the “log in” portion, it kicks you out. This is on mobile.
Ouch! Poor Josh.
That is so cool that you cut all your hair off for your friend ❤
Mine exploded 3 weeks into boot camp. Then ended up with septic bursitis and an infection. You were very fortunate. I was not so much. Then a week out of the hospital I had a second surgery for and ACL tear and lateral meniscus tear. Worst part they never rehabbed me. Just sent me out on a medical.
I had gotten stress fractures and shin splints along with problems in the arches of my feet during the first prt run, I ended up failing by 2 minutes and 1 lap left. I was sent to STEPS down the hall from RCU with the idea of 5 attempts to pass the run, first two were horrible, the following Saturday was a 2 hour PT clinic. All the Petty Officers ignored me limping and in tears running up until that Saturday when I collapsed onto a boot mate and she had to run and get help. They called an ambulance for me and I ended up on crutches for the next two weeks. They nonstop tormented me and screwed me over because doctors didn’t put some stuff on the chit so I’d have to go back and have it put on. I ended up going to SEPS and was taken off the crutches 4 days before I was sent home “fit for travel”. I can reapply after December. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
HPU Bahrain FTW 😂 Dude we used to get swole at the P9 gym together
wait.....Idk who you are besides "the punisher" Reveal yoursefl!!
Austen Alexander haha I don’t wanna put my name on here, but I’m the Arabic dude who had the full sleeve with all the skulls and roses, usually hung out with Kirk. All we ever talked about was the gym lol I think we went out a few times too or it was probably a party at a loft I’m not sure honestly I forgot.
i know exaclty who you are lol last name started with D
Austen Alexander haha you got it bro, I just come across your channel, good shit keep it up💪
Hugs. Awwww. Thx for sharing. British guys are coming for you..🤣🤣😂🤣😂
The First 3 Weeks Of Basic Combat Training, I Could Barely Run, Because I Rarely Ran Before I Got In The Army So When Me And My Company Started Running My Leg Felt As If A Hamstring On The Side Of My Leg Was Pulling And I Never Went To Sick Call I Was In Pain For 3 Weeks, And Right Before We Got Our M4s My Leg Stopped Hurting, And I Felt Whole, I Didn't Feel Bad Because The Next Day We Had The PT Test And Sure I Was Close To Passing But I Felt Better, Because I Was Hurting On The First PT Test And I Failed That Terribly. Long Story Short First 3 Weeks, Red Phase Sucked, Lol.
I am a runner and hurt my bursa sac back in high school. While not as bad as you did I still had to hobble around and couldn't run for a week or two.
You're channel does not have any content.
It's called percises, Austin one of my friends was Navy he gave up a full football scolorship
I have some kin folk in Alabama my granny was born and raised in Highland Home in Crenshaw County and I still have relatives there
Hooyah Seal Team SEPS
I'm pretty sure I met you at the gym one time in your home town. Didn't realize you were in the navy lol.
really? haha when was this? I'm curious
@@AustenAlexander It was probably about a year ago or longer. I was on the leg press and was trying to max out and you asked me if I had enough plates lol
I know what you mean about depression when you get pulled out of boot and send to recover. I contracted bronchitis my 4th week in and had to be quarantined for a month. I was a few years older than most of the other recovering recruits so I took on the roll of unofficial in-house advisor, counselor, mentor and sometimes cheerleader. I think I might have helped a few get their confidence back.
BTW, always put up a warning for us weak stomach landlubbers. That shaving story was a bit graphic.
+Krane yea it’s probably good that you went there just because you got to help a lot of people.
And my bad 😂
Please do a video about VBSS!!!!!!
1980 boot camp was way different at Big mistake'' ( great lakes) lol
Lot of one of the kind memories.
O'' back in the dayz.....
Well my ( ok to say my friend?) I've never seen you in person, but I do my best to follow you on you Battle Bunker.. Fyi I'm non military. Any hoo I had fracture my tibia on my R leg/ knee. And my leg has never been the same ever since. Stay Blessed ✝️
You had to graduate... how cute is your dog!!
Boot camp is so different than it was back in the day (1977)
What a princess.
i joined into the AF in 2013 and my friend was in Med Hold for 8 months before i joined and had the same shit happen to him, he finally graduated with my flight but man 11 month in basic training, thats gotta be rough
How do you not cry every other day. Poor guy
Eh ya know we all slit our wrists in the corner of the shop during our breaks
That’s crazy....I graduated boot camp and I didn’t get to graduate either. I was held back a week. Couldn’t pass the swim test. 😑 I eventually did graduate and went across the street to Corp school but when I got Corp school I developed diabetes and was medically discharged. Lol. You’re living my dream though man. I sometimes think about what could have been had I not been diabetic but....it is what it is... 🤷🏿♂️
Dude don't blame yourself,shit happens,invented gone to college and make more then most college graduates,thanks for your videos
My Son was screwed also. Went thru Battle stations, etc in 800 Division was 5th in His Class and 2 days before graduation they stuck Him in Hold for 4 months, because He saw a Councilor when He was 9, because His Recruiter told Him anything over 5 years is irrelevant.
