Here’s a motivation, I had a guy in my division who only did 11 push ups, 15 sit ups, 17 minutes 1.5 mile. At the end he did 58 push up, 65 sit ups, and ran 12 minutes/1.5 miles. He suffered but made it, I suggest working out before joining so that you won’t suffer as much as you have to be.

I sleep well at night knowing people like Luis are out there defending our country.

Through the video, I could see how a civilian changed into a sailor, by their cloth changing, by their attitude changing. You can cry sailor. You've achieved many things at the camp. You've earned it.

My only concern is i start laughing for no apparent reason.

The amount of times I’ve seen this, they need to make another one

Graduated about a week and a half ago. It's really not that bad if you just shut up, listen, and do what your told to do correctly.

*"YOU HAVE 2 MINUTES TO HYDRATE!"* That is a phrase I will fucking hate till the day I die😂

Graduated in Sept 14 1973. Things changed a lot since then.

My son (19) just got to Ft McCoy yesterday for 2-wk quarantine, then starts boot camp, then sub (BESS) school, and after that A school (Groton, CT). After one year in college, and being completely bored, he decided to join the Navy like his grandfather had (my father, who passed away last year). I'm so proud of him and can't wait to see him 💙.

Whoever is about to go, I highly recommend to study collar devices, dress uniform sleeves and the sailor creed. Also chain of command. That will help you so much in the beginning

I don’t know why I find yelling funny. Every time somebody yells at me I can’t help but laugh man I better be able to hold it together when I get enlisted

Ship date is October 1st. Watched this so many times because I am ready to go😂

For those going into Basic Training, y'all are lucky. I went in in 05 and had no idea what was going to happen. This video definitely gives you an idea of what will happen. Good luck to all of y'all. Hooyah Navy.

I’ve been active duty now for 24 years. A lot is different from when I went through boot camp but it’s refreshing to see a lot has stayed the same as well.

I ship out October 14th after many rollovers because of COVID. I am excited to finally start my Navy Career.

husband leaves for bootcamp at the end of this month, im really glad i got to see what he's gonna be going through for the next two months. it looks so tough but i know he'll do great 💪🏼

Im excited to go to bootcamp i am a high school dropout who got a ged in 3 months and passed now I’m able to serve my country like I’ve always wanted to since i was 6

God Bless all these young men and women who are willing to do what it takes to do their part to keep our country safe! Thank You!

"You get on the platform like ten feet not that bad then you get up there like ten feet ooo" Me: *laughs in Airborne*

Luis has a good attitude and outlook because if you grow up in a hispanic household you already know structure and fear trust me..lol

Really pissed I didn’t get a graduation ceremony, fuck COVID

It’s when they get quiet is when you should be worried

This was inspiring! Especially for a soldier in the Army.

I went throug US Army Basic and Advanced training March thru June 1966 and I remember graduation day. Watching these young men and women, these SAILORS shed a tear of pride because they had accomplished becoming a United States Sailor made me cry too. I remember, they will never forget what they have accomplished on that day either. United States NAVY, YES! [edit - my Grandson just this past April graduated United States Military Academy. He is now a United State Army 2nd Lieutenant in his 2nd week of Ranger school and we are so very proud off him - GO ARMY!] ps; I graduated OCS 1969 and OBC at Ft. Sill, Ok as a United States Army Artillery Officer. Left our US Military June 1973. I LOVE our United States Army, Airforce, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard,, America's Military ARE the Finest Soldiers in the WORLD!

The Marlinspike was good times. That was fun, I won't even lie.

Yes Chief, No Chief, mabey Chief, what is it. Best meme from boot camp.

Finally... a company commander with a set.

This preparation for my journey to the US NAVY

It’s amazing to see the chances made. I was in basic in 2009 and some things have changed but it was also a walk down memory lane

Attending the recruit training is a real big game changer for your life for the better and you will be moving yourself to the higher standard as an American citizen and beyond, the skies of opportunity is unlimited and will be the best memories you can imagine looking back what you did, You will earn your credential for life and will be well respected that you have served to protect your country. American people are very proud of each one of you and of all branches of military.

My daughter is a Salior currently deployed in Japan.

getting the shots is going to be the hardest part of bootcamp. I fucking hate needles

I leave for bootcamp tuesday😂

I ship tomorrow I can’t wait !

This video hits different when you actually been to boot camp

I’m 17 and will begin my training in 7 months to join the navy just like my older brother who will be 21 when I join.

I have not seen one real push up yet

going to basic thinking your the best is not good but going in level headed is good

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸 FROM SUJIT IN KOLKATA, INDIA

I don't see Petty Officer Dingleberry. Jk

Not going to lie I'm English and this was on my recommend but I'm joining the Royal Navy as soon as I clear up some medical stuff and I cant wait!

Shipping out tmr to navy boot camp

Ship date is feb.23 👏🏾

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Watching this again while in BESS rn. Makes me glad I never have to go back to Great Lakes again lol

Shipping tommorow. I hope I don't drown but I suck at swimming.

I have to loose 20 pounds first (already lost 10), but I want to do this so bad. Just nervous to talk to a recruiter😬

"Its not fun yet..." Lol

Chief Stigall is cool as hell. I loved the Chief when I went to boot camp but Chief Stigall is that dude.

P days was the hardest part of boot camp after that it was a breeze

And, A special thanks to the hard working Chief's and Petty Officers who train these young men and women!

I was in Division 919. Silent Division. Go Navy!

then you go to a squadron and never prectice any of this ever again lol (besides types of fires, and types of extinguishing agents)

Don’t sign up for corpsman. It’s a good rate and good work, but you WILL NOT get promoted past E3. There’s just too many of us

Just graduated a week ago I remember watching this over and over

Graduated October 2020 great experience, also because the COVID it was so stressful

Ship date is Jan 5th 🙃. This looks very funnnnn

“Thinking about how many people go through boot camp every year, it can’t be that hard.” Rachel, Rachel, you won’t even want to live…

Division 921 Grad. April 2014

This is my motivational video for my 2 years left... this pushes me and fires my drive to join so bad!

Ship dates Jan 7th, lets gooooooo!!⚓⚓🇺🇸🇺🇸

I’m 19 and I’m tying to get into contact with a recruiter so I can join.

I need to show this to some people. Its awesome to see some of the changes that have takin place

I leave tomorrow, idk what to wear

Ahhh RTC Great Lakes...good times...my whole division was trash lol...division 415

Is it possible to make more videos like this?

As a veteran those recruits scared me. 😨. If they are that out of shape.😦 unbelievable. No conception of reality.

Anybody who trashes America as bigoted or racist should pay attention to these proud young people joining the armed services.

Just got out from Navy boot camp today HOOYAH 424!!! Boot camp here is completely different from how it is now. Mainly because of COVID

just wondering what that dude in the background at 23:36 is doin something seems off

Former Nuke, ELT type, submariner. Boot camp's going to be the funniest place you're not allowed to laugh. A school is pretty easy. Don't underage drink. Powerschool is neat, you learn nuke shit. Look up "Applied Engineering Principles" and the study material on the NNPTC website. Fuck doing extra hours in the Rickover. Prototype is stressful if you were a basement dweller like me. Ask for help, partner up with a social butterfly or a female, don't kill yourself. The Boat is stressful. It's going to suck until you're qualified senior in rate. It is what it is. Get your fish and your first in-rate watch qual and everyone gets off your ass and treats you like an adult. Maintain your quals. Again, Don't kill yourself. It's just a job. It isn't worth it. Don't star reenlist. It makes putting on E5 hard because all the billets are full but you're fucking yourself if you end up wanting out. If you're shit hot and your chief likes you, you'll get capped anyway. If you hate it, tell EDMC to eat your ass when he gives you the reenlistment speech. Get your DD214 and go home. If you like it, reenlist.

I need to be a Navy

Thank you for this video I’m planning on joining the USMC

34:04 the recruit doesn't seem like she wants to be there.

Can’t believe I graduated from that shit hole almost two years ago lmao

I know no one asked, but I would like to share from what I experienced from my country. From where I am, every man here is required to participate in conscription, which means every man here is entitled as "a conscript". Therefore, I can be called anytime, anywhere. I have to inform you first that the conscription recruiting department that I attended was in the countryside. I was about 17, which in fact, people around me were 16, and the latter was the required age to enter the conscription. When it was about qualification, only few passed, and I was not. If I did not request for the corruption with school's power, I would be sent to the worse position, and I might not be back home alive like now. (And I take your criticism from this) Basically, I could be sent to where terrorist attacks have still been occurring until this day. I attended the opening as the number of the qualified people were too few, so the department let me and lots more people in. Much like in this video, I did not know what they were subjecting me to do. Conscript recruits there were much discriminated, and they were put into classes that only few people could use for their lives since none of us really wanted to be a conscript. The conscript training command's (CTC's) here much irresponsible, yet they ordered us to do things. Basically, most of us had the goal to get out of there. What I was told to learn was much about ropes inside the department to take care for, which all for the senior conscripts that did not participate in their earlier days. Next, we were told to please their commander, so we were forced to practice anything festive to leave their commander with a smile. Well, it was to march around and follow his order. Every day, we were saddened to be there just to suffer. Unlike U.S. Navy, which they had their team to fight for with respect and love. From where I was, again, I was discriminated to where I should question my existence as I was told that I could not do anything for my country. Words from CTC's were all disrespectful and nothing motivating. Much like they told me that probably my whole clan had no discipline to service my country. The country where I am, conscripts here protect the king, not the people, or whom they love. The King here has meant to be the priority of the country. Conscripts here have to serve the king, and actually, we are told that we are serving the dust under the king's foot. (Some kings here are good, and very few are very good) Every conscript is the royalty's service lackey, if I can translate correctly from each word, which technically translated as "officials". We are told to love the king. Yes, I could love the king in the time I was young. However, we were not told to love our team and respect anyone but the commander and anyone "above" us. When it comes to using the firearms, we were not allowed to use headphones or earphones to plug our ears to shoot. It was not a pistol but a rifle, so it was too loud. I had to take time to aim, but I was told to hurry as I could not hear a thing because of the loud shots. When it came to the last day, everyone threw their hat and ran off back to the bus our school "prepared". At least, there are good memories about it... There was a time, a CTC yelled to get someone out of the line and be the sample to get into his sequence of orders. I volunteered myself to go... because I thought it was a good experience for me to get... I went there... Everyone laughed at what I was doing, even the CTC who brought me... In the rule of conscription, I had to participate every day that was demanded to be present. However, I was absent due to a school activity, so I had to fix it by coming to the department and do whatever any CTC ordered me to do so. However, when I was there, I was told to go back home without coming back again until the next year... because the CTC who brought me to be the sample... "hated" me... I met the CTC; I was told to go back... I came with my mother; we were about to go back... Before that, that CTC came to my mother, and tell her how I am... "Helpful", "Honest", "Respectful", "Genuine"... (Nothing here is about me being narcissistic.) There are only two CTC's I want to remember, and wish to remember. At least, the CTC I told earlier could witness what was said in the video: "If you fail, the team fails."

Boot camp was worse than this haha. But you don’t go home or set back after the initial PFA, that’s only if you can’t pass the last one that required pass to graduate

Ship date is Dec 1st! Here we go 😂

What was it like for you guys at boot camp. I want to join the navy once I'm old enough

Nostalgic

After watching this video for third time, I realized I saw someone from my hometown that was close to my family when I was younger, and it made me realize and believe in myself that much more.,

If your leaving for bootcamp, Every RTC’s favorite color is “BLUE” 😂😂you’ll know why. I graduated 2 months ago.

Great video!

I’m ready to go.. putting in a 20 year service when I get done with college!!!

in 2 years ima be in the navy🤩

Loved this, showed it to a few people interested in the Navy. Hate those damn green uniforms though.

Chief really hops up on the table to prove a point. Respect, i guess?

You have 30 seconds to hydrate. - My 3rd RDC

I’m going to meps next week for navy heeeeeeee

I can’t wait

Is there any reason why the screaming is necessary?

big diff from 80s and now, they had no problems disrespecting us. looks like BC got tougher then it was in early 2000s, but still not what we went through

ahhh memories

ngl Petty Officer Sperry is a handsome dude

29:46 to 30:10 " what is this white guy telling me huh? Don't bother me with that" 😂😂😂33:58 to 34:02 as well.

That jump platform for swim qual.was way higher back in mid 90s.

I well up everytime I reminisce about my time in boot camp (2016) Funniest moment I experienced was during our PB shots & one of my division shipmates moaned on purpose when he received the shot, the whole room busted out laughin and the shot administrator got mad & stormed out

I just graduated yesterday lmao

No matter the branch or the MOS, the most important question to answer is "Are you ready?".

look, i was enlisted, but if you have a degree, dont enlist, go ocs
