Boot camp was stressful for like 2 weeks and then you get over it. After that the routine becomes natural and its more about counting down the days till graduation, every guy in my division had a calendar lol with all our important days labeled and I would scratch out the next day all the time at lights out. Everything else is super simple though.
My fiancé(19) who recently graduated with me from highschool went to bootcamp about a week ago, I miss him more than ever right now. Before he had left we were inseparable and always with each other. I hope he's doing okay and keeping himself healthy at the same time. All I've been doing is praying to God for his safety along with the other future sailors. His plan is to serve 20 years, and I'll always be there for him and support him to achieve goals.
Man how life has gone full circle. I graduated in boot camp with petty officer bartee back in 2011. Seeing him in a navy boot camp video as an rdc now just shows how much time flies and the kind of person you become years down the road
As a Navy veteran, I can honestly say that most sailors seemed surprisingly unmotivated. They constantly complained about even the simplest tasks, and I was shocked by how little work actually got done. I had high respect for the military before joining, but my experience changed that-it felt more like a joke. Many sailors spent most of their time in air-conditioned rooms playing video games, and the ship was often in poor condition. Surprisingly, some of the laziest people were among the officers and chiefs. Only a few roles, like culinary specialists, boatswain’s mates, and engineers, consistently worked hard. I had an easy role in interior communications as an electrician, but we rarely did any real electrical work; instead, we mostly just swapped out broken equipment for refurbished or new parts. Two years of electrician training felt like a waste. The USS Shiloh was dark, filthy, and depressing, and some people even resented me for simply doing my job because it made them look lazy. I can’t believe our tax dollars are funding such a complacent system.
I agree with my experience as well it changed my perspective so much, it felt like a joke as well, I have respects for my navy vets. But training changed my perspective by a lot now.
Hey you will be okay my husband is graduating this week and the 10 weeks go by fast if you have people to write to like your mom or dad or who ever plus they have a few hours of down time to write letters or church services on Sunday but my husband wrote me back every day until this Tuesday since he graduates less than 2 days
Amen. Some people who don't acknowledge or have respect for our veterans or servicemen and women, should watch these videos and see the hell we go through so they can have their da@# freedom.
Shout-out to that recruit in the background at 21:00 who stopped when the FQA was reaming out the other recruit, waited until she was occupied, then slipped away down the street, LOL.
lol 😂 shit man when did FQA become first class petty officers? I remember when I was in it was all E-7 and above and when they were around the whole division was on their best behavior. Shit it was as quiet as a pin drop when they came around. I remember i use to hate going alone to get chow or liquidate my smart card especially wearing a navy ball cap when a master chief would walk by you and begin to fuck with you because you were a sailor now.
I am a very proud to be a former sailor ( Navy man always ,first!! 💙 )and of our whole boot camp team!! We won every flag we had in boot camp and became color company. This was back in 1986, 27 May - 27 Aug. I miss those days and hope all my boot camp buddies did or possibly still doing great in their assignments,wherever they may be!! I am now a proud veteran of 2 service branches!! Much love and happy through (out) to all, especially to my fellow VETS and those still serving in theatres worldwide and in space currently!!

RTC Great Lakes Company 154 div 22 1992. The place was obviously rebuilt. Nothing looks like it did when I was there. My class was one of the last all male.
Theyre still mostly all male. Mime was all male 2 years ago. Every once in a while there's enough women for a division or 2 to be mixed in a training group.
It’s definitely been renovated I went in 93 part of service week was painting empty barracks for when female recruits were going to start going to Great Lakes as well
@@christopherfranklin1693 by all male I was referring to zero women being allowed to train at Great Lakes. Women went to boot elsewhere. Either Orlando or San Diego I can’t remember.
Our first week in Pearl Harbor my RDC’s put us to bed at 11-12 and woke us up at 3-4. Craziest part was I got there on a holiday so we were forced to stay awake for 3 days without RDC’s. they said we weren’t allowed to sleep until we got our RDC’s
Damn waking up at 5:00-5:30?? You recruits are spoiled. I remember reveille was 0400 everyday no matter what back when I was in 2000. Shit I always had the balls to 0200 watch because I knew how to do the deck log and was promoted to E3 because of it but gosh damn that was rough getting only literally 4 hours a sleep just about every night. The hardest thing about bootcamp was the first couple of weeks there and that P-day week. I have nothing but the upmost respect for those who take off from their home town to go do this.

if I could go back 32 years & join the Navy like i was gonna do I know my life would be different , someone asked me what if you would have gotten killed & I said no regrets I would have died serving my country
@ I’m 27 man still not too late, you don’t wanna be 40 wishing you went in. I did some jail time as a late teen, fortunate I changed and saw I wanted to do something different. Less then 2% of Americans ever go in the service. Good luck, I’m gone on the 26th. Got boot camp by Chicago. Navy, master arms.
I went thru Great Lakes bootcamp in 1976 (ironically, Company 936, Special Units). We were companies back then, not divisions. Red ropers were Company Commanders. Each company, approximately 80 recruits, had one CC and an assistant that wore a light blue rope. Most of the time they were E2 or E3 recent graduates awaiting assignment to their A Schools. They were the CC's gofer and admin asst. I got IT twice. Back then, after evening chow, when everyone else was chilling and getting ready for the next day, if you had IT you had to report to the drill hall in full winter uniform with peacoat and watch cap and they worked you out for an hour. I was so tired I needed help getting into my top rack.
The heat and humidity of RTC Navy Boot Camp Orlando Florida was rough. But going through recruit training was a great experience. Company C118 June 10th, 1987. "The Silent Marching Machine". 🎉
I understand that. 1981 K080. We went through, most of our training, June and July. Graduated end of July, but stayed an additional month for apprentice training. Made the drill team, enjoyed most of it.
Wouldn’t know, OSVET from United States Marine Corps, Dec 72 until my retirement June 1991. Four years USMC, 68-72, Combat Vet Nam, 2 years guarding gates at NAS Lemoore CA,, 19 years Navy Retired Last of the AK’s, 13 years as AK1, CPO eluded me, But still a awarding Career. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇨🇱🇨🇱
Company 359, 23rd Division, October-November 1986. Recruit Division Commanders, as they are called today, were referred to as Company Commanders then. The most recent pictures of RTC today, suggest that the whole base was torn down and rebuilt. Also, in my time there, whenever a CC asked you anything, you would respond, "Yes Sir" or "No Sir".
Goin to MEPS tomorrow, having second thoughts sk nervous for all the yelling and screaming and hazing, i should be used to it by now since i have an abusive step dad, any advice?
Been in about a year now, you just have to remember to never take it personally and that everything they say or do is to make you better and stronger than before. You got this!
Bo you got this! In for over a year and my top advice for you is “Do it right the first time” and like playkoi said, it is never personal. Don’t take that shit to heart frfr
Oh they won’t haze you. It’s actually against one of the CO’s top 6 which is no hazing and the yelling isn’t personal. It’s not. The RDCs are just trying to instill pressure in you before you get to your fleet because you will encounter a lot of pressure there so they’re trying to prepare you so you don’t fold
Amen to that...I was at Great Lakes in June 2001 (unfortunately was medically discharged in Week 3) and there was so much hacking. I was hacking for 2-3 weeks after I got home.
I went to Great Lakes in 1972. I just remember being screamed at constantly! LOL For some reason, our company didn't have any firearms training at all. We didn't have to do the obstacle course either! Other companies did both, but ours? Nope. I never did figure out why we didn't have to. We did go to lots of classroom training though.
This is a fkn cakewalk. I went through the Marine Corps recruit training and it was no joke. I also served in the Army reserves and at my AIT School, it was tougher than this.
Dude shut up. Every branch does a great job at turning civs into military service members. Nobody cares about how hard your training was compared to this.
Straight up it depends on your RDCs. But to sum it all up Navy bootcamp is a joke we had overweight mfs graduated with “Bike chits” cause they couldn’t pass the OPFA. THE FUCK??
It was a joke in 2005 as a 17/18 year old kid (birthday is in August)…..submarine school was “harder” per se, but luckily as a Bostonian, I drove home every weekend and hung out with my friends since we would’ve all be freshman in college lol. As a cop, even the police academy is dumbed down……. But!!! I enjoy my 12 hour midnight shifts over waking up at 0330 every day for recruits. Fuck that nonsense
Semper Fi my brother, 68-72 San Diego, Plt 2039, Trained Logistics 3041, But once in NAM, we are all basic Grunts, and yes 68 was not fun Beatings and Psychological mind f**cking, Made it through all the Trauma, Final 2 years at MB, NAS Lemoore CA, All 4 in the Cops, not one day as a 3041. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇨🇱🇨🇱👍
In my basic training sept 1987 Orlando Fl we ended up with one RDC the other fit in trouble for jerking recruits head with her hands and actually hit busted down in rank too We didn’t need her all she did was try to destroy what the other one did. With one lad Chief petty officer Katherine Scott we rocked it ended up coming in second best company i respect you all that train troops thank you fir your service but I can tell you she would have never accepted any of those push ups I’ve seen here..
No, the red rope means they are an RDC. None of them are seals as none of them have gone to seal training yet. Blue ropes are RDC’s in training. RDC’s are the navy’s version of drill sergeant
Consider your lucky that you were able to serve. Many people want to serve but can't because they have health issues. Many thanks to those who have served our great country.
Im going to boot camp at July 8th, I’m just scared of failing the physical (exercise) test, I’m not fat or physically unhealthy, but I’m afraid that if I mess up, everything would be for nothing and I’ll be sent back home
Don't be scared bro. The physical test is one of the last things you'll do plus you'll do a practice test at the beginning of bootcamp to see where you are. You'll have plenty of time to get where you need to be. Good luck future sailor.🫡
And not only will you have plenty of time to train up, they give you multiple opportunities to pass, but the downside is they might have to hold you back another couple of weeks
The first two weeks were the worst after that it was fun firefighting was the best part. I remember being our company’s runner in the DC Olympics which my company won. I won for my company. Co 013 RTC Great Lakes 93
Not when it come to being an RDC. They go thru a really tough program before getting the red rope. They also are almost guaranteed to advance (even chief) upon completion.
The hardest part of navy bootcamp was the folding
I was never crazy about washing my clothes on stone tables and hanging them with clothes stops…different strokes…Co 336-65 San Diego.
Yea folding clothes getting a navyship and realize. It made no difference, YELLING AT THE BOOT CAMPS. THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN THE FLEET
Not falling a sleep in class, best part of being a YN was skipping chaps stories
Yep and staying awake
literally and swimming for me 😂😂😂

That's a lot of responsibility training future sailors if it isn't obvious.

Thank you each and every one of you. ABADDON WILL SET YOU FREE.
Weight standards are different too
Is this for the recruits or officers
Recruits
cant decide between navy or army i'm just watching a bunch of videos helppp lmao
Depends on what you wanna do
Navy or Airforce
Pretty easy decision. You wanna live in a prison on water? Join navy
Navy quality of life is better than army
Navy Boot Camp is a LOT different than when I joined. I reported 21 March 1994 5th Division Company 147 under AMS1 (AW) RJ Thibeault.
Consider your lucky that you were able to serve. Many people want to serve but can't because they have health issues. Many thanks to those who have served our great country.
The hardest part about bootcamp was staying awake, thee most absolute boring 2 months of my life, felt like I was there for forever 😂
EO2 went through Boot in 97. you noobs are lucky
Why are they even saluting an enlisted.
Company commanders are commisioned during bootcamp only !
it’s because when they are reporting when someone walks in they always salute other than that they don’t salute enlisted. It’s a thing when reporting
Hm....
This is interesting, I went through boot when 911 happened, Aug 2001-OCT 2001. Looks way different now.
Im going to boot camp at July 8th, I’m just scared of failing the physical (exercise) test, I’m not fat or physically unhealthy, but I’m afraid that if I mess up, everything would be for nothing and I’ll be sent back home
Don't be scared bro. The physical test is one of the last things you'll do plus you'll do a practice test at the beginning of bootcamp to see where you are. You'll have plenty of time to get where you need to be. Good luck future sailor.🫡
And not only will you have plenty of time to train up, they give you multiple opportunities to pass, but the downside is they might have to hold you back another couple of weeks
I’m going july 2nd
In the old days, chiefs were always screaming, and we were always jogging and eyes forward...it seems that the stress level is too low al around...
Navy the best service.
Navy Chief Navy pride !!
Grave Mistakes is in of itself cruel and unusual punishment.
The first two weeks were the worst after that it was fun firefighting was the best part. I remember being our company’s runner in the DC Olympics which my company won. I won for my company. Co 013 RTC Great Lakes 93
Division 288
2015-present
Those who cannot do, teach. Remember that RECRUITS.
Not when it come to being an RDC. They go thru a really tough program before getting the red rope. They also are almost guaranteed to advance (even chief) upon completion.
@@MarkM58I seen the training they do, it’s a cake walk 😂
12:40, Thank you sir?
yall bet not b yelling at my man like disss ion like thatttt omsss thank u
They will be yelling at him like that cause that’s how it works in boot camp
the hardest part is c'mon factor 🤣
Whats phone privileges like in the navy boot camp
Alright so check this out as an RDC I can tell you you will use your own phone every 2 to 3 weeks usually on Saturday
That why I picked orders for recruiting instead of RTC 😂
I walk where I want to walk
If I was so capable of joining a military force, then I would have been a Navy Seal.
There is a lot of bullying in there with other sailors.
No one yell at em to get motivated
I can’t wake up that early
You try it.
I ship out on July 17th
Good luck! I graduated just a week ago lol
@@FLManJrhow was it??
@galaxtronic3585 Toughest experience thus far, but the memory of graduating was priceless.
#TeamWork
As someone going to bootcamp in 3 months, this was extremely boring to watch. I thought that it would be harder...
Don't have pools? Nice victim cover. Most don't want to get in the water, where I grew up in the city. Glad when they make it through it now.
A lot different than it was in '64
How so I’m just curious ?
Y’all don’t have to stand at attention??? 13:52
So easy compared to the old days
Definitely not paid enough for this.
Go Navy
