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.

The timing on this is impeccable. My son is seeing the recruiter this week. Thank you for sharing this experience.

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.

Both proud and thankful to have Mr Van Orden as one of our state reps here in WI👍🏻

Corpsman up !! ALWAYS buddy up to the corpsman !!! Semper Fi

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

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.

I just woke up in the Navy one day

I worked at Wendy’s too jocko, same role

I have to say Mare Island had the best chow hall in the Navy!

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.

I will be enlisting soon going to see a navy recruiter soon all glory to god none of this would be possible without him 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾✝️

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.

Do they still do the naked duck walk at MEPS?

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.

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

I will never look at the quarter inch shackle on my bracelet the same again.

Stories like this are the reason why trying to join the Marine Corps was the worst mistake of my life ...

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

Much cooler an better outcome joining the Army, Infantry to be specific, 11B Follow Me.

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. ; )

Go Coast Guard if you have a respectable ASVAB score.

Deciding if I should join the Army or Navy..it’s hard

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!

Firs comment😉
