That whole "grab an apple, put it in the other hand, and then throw it behind you" thing from that 9 year old kid was amazing, I lowkey understand the sidestroke more now...goes to show you not to underestimate where you can learn things from.
No video on youtube will fully explain what is going to happen when you join. Just get on the bus to basic training and do what they tell you. It's nothing to stress about. It will be the best decision you ever make as long as you choose to make the most of it.
@@pvtsturgill911 How “bad” is your arm tat that you couldn’t even join the Marine Corps? I have a 5 inch on my right arm and it was no issue, especially with the changed policy that allows full sleeves now
@Justin GFM it's past the my wrist about 1.5inches on to my hand.. they didn't even measure it or seem to care. I decided to go with army they actually measured it and I still had to get a waiver. I'm now waiting on to go back to meps to pick my job
Loved basic. Went from barely 1 meal a day working 2 jobs to 3 meals, clean clothes, a warm pit to sleep in, daily PT and getting paid for it? Truly grateful for the opportunity.
1:20 I live in central New Jersey and have two years at a car dealership making above minimum wage with 10 hours overtime. I cannot afford to eat and I can barely make rent. I will be joining the military not necessarily because I want to, because it’s the easiest way out of all of my problems.
0:26 Best day of the week was the day after Sliders because we had a Cook that made a great Cheeseburger Soup for lunch. That would stick to your ribs all afternoon.
I graduate college next year with a bachelor's in management. I hate my retail job in management and want something bigger for myself. I cannot imagine working there for the next 10 to 20 years. I think I would rather die across the world somewhere. Really thinking about either the Navy or Air Force.
everytime i here these stories it always sounds like "I had to struggle because of america's lack of structure and planning for its citizenry just to bust my ass to try and get in the door to defend it" there's so much potential that almost seems flattened by america's paradoxical culture.
@@taylorlibby7642 Much appreciated, lol. As a sailor it's a common joke, even though the risks are very real. My uncle broke his back, both figuratively and literally, doing SAR.
@@Will_Smith_Slapping_Xi_Jinping Yeah, you know how it is. Any good-natured joke from a service member to a service member is acceptable. Give your uncle a Semper Paratus from me. ; )

This is the first time I have heard of any Americans who recognized Toyota Corona. Growing up in a developing country in East Asia, Toyota Corona and Carina both were still produced and made until the late 90's. Now they replaced by Tyota Allion & Premio
Imagine an 18 year old kid going to Corpsman School for 11 weeks and becoming responsible for a LOT? I read its now 14 weeks...incredible whst they are allowed to do with very little training. Must grow up fast. That guy sounds like a character
My decison is between Navy and Air Force just gotta decide what jobs are potentially there for me first. My advice is asking your recruiter what potential jobs are there for you for each branch. Then making the decision based off that
Derrick Van Orden you said on Fox that Kevin McCarthy will be the next Speaker... In your opinion, can we as Conservative Republicans count on him to back us up and help change the direction the D's are taking us? I think we know.... prove me wrong!
I loved basic training. The run ya, they feed ya, they bathe ya. They'll even teach you new tricks, and give you dog tags so you won't get lost.
The ASVAB is something I believe that every student should take before graduation, regardless of their intentions of enlisting.
They made us take it at our school

The timing on this is impeccable. My son is seeing the recruiter this week. Thank you for sharing this experience.
I saw the recruiter a couple months ago. We are going to move forward with the process when my basketball season ends.
@@sethpolitte8057 Should go Army, you don't want to have a job you hate if you dont make it through BUD/S.
@Beau you mean sailors in the fleet.
Corpsman up !!
ALWAYS buddy up to the corpsman !!!
Semper Fi
Both proud and thankful to have Mr Van Orden as one of our state reps here in WI👍🏻
I just left the navy recruiter office a few minutes ago glad this video came up to give me advice on what I’m getting myself into

Good job to you! You're going seals, sarc or EOD? Can't go wrong with any! Good luck and be ready to die for it but ik you got this.
I'm joining as well only cause the marines disqualified me for my damn arm tat. Join the swcc or eod. Definitely doable if you're in shape

I just woke up in the Navy one day
I worked at Wendy’s too jocko, same role

I will be enlisting soon going to see a navy recruiter soon all glory to god none of this would be possible without him 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾✝️
I have to say Mare Island had the best chow hall in the Navy!
The Navy definitely has the best food in terms of branches. But I would never want to be a CS. I'd rather be undesignated at that rate.

I will never look at the quarter inch shackle on my bracelet the same again.
Do they still do the naked duck walk at MEPS?
yes

Joining the Navy is super easy!! All you have to do is try to join the Coast Guard but fail the ASVAB's!
Fair winds and following seas swabbies. ; )
Bruh.... are puddle pirates even DoD?

Deciding if I should join the Army or Navy..it’s hard
Same here I’m siding more towards navy, because I want to be near water. My reasoning is that simple
@@Eliweaver04 decided to go navy as well
My decison is between Navy and Air Force just gotta decide what jobs are potentially there for me first. My advice is asking your recruiter what potential jobs are there for you for each branch. Then making the decision based off that
Stories like this are the reason why trying to join the Marine Corps was the worst mistake of my life ...
Share yours, please
Was it flat feet?
Was it a matter of them not asking, but they could still tell?
Go Coast Guard if you have a respectable ASVAB score.
Why not Airforce? Especially when it comes to the living conditions and lifestyle. Ship life isn't for everyone.
Much cooler an better outcome joining the Army, Infantry to be specific, 11B Follow Me.
From what I remember 😳 **no** **one** fucked with the combat MOS 🙄 some biological sex envy so I had to jet 🛩 #missyoulikeacoldsore
