Leave for boot in like 10-12 hours. Yikes. Anxious but excited

Top 2 ways to Dominate in Boot Camp! 1. Do exactly what you are told to do exactly when you are told to do it. 2. Do exactly what you are told to do exactly when you are told to do it.

I’m not even enlisted in the navy and I watch these videos lol

For all you kids asking boot camp questions, show up and be ready to follow instructions to the T.. boot camp is simple, the fleet is where things get difficult... boot camp is where you have everything done for you, your told when your getting up, and even have someone get you up, chow is already cooked and ready for you to come eat, school is pre planned and even your free time is already planned out for you...you don't have to do much of anything except learn how to follow directions without being told twice... boot camp isn't scary...all your doing is learning the basics of walking and talking like a sailor... when you get from boot camp and A school then you have a general idea of what you are supposed to be doing and how to act when you show up at your command...just pay attention and follow directions and youll be invisible..don't listen to what I said and you'll stick out and RDC's will motivate you to follow instructions...have a great time and great lakes..

The “probably sounded weird, it is the navy” Lmao

How to dominate boot camp: *schlurp* *schlurp*

Drug addicts be like: "I don't have to have this. I just have it because I enjoy the way it makes me feel"

While serving as an RCC (Today they are RDC’s) One lecture I gave to my Recruits was “If I know your name without having to look at the name tape on your uniform, you had better think about why that is! It is probably not for a good reason!” MM1 USNR (Ret)

I was the clown in boot camp as well. In the galley I would always quietly exclaim "mmmmmm" as I ate, increasingly louder as it went on. The other recruits weren't laughing and mostly were scared the RDC would think it was them

I'm sure the petty officers were trying really hard not to laugh😂

That prolly sounded weird, pause, it is the navy 😭

"Ways to dominate boot camp" Show up. It's not hard.

#1: do what you're told. #2: show initiative and motivation

"Do a bunch of weird stuff to each other..." *"It is the Navy.."*

Thank you for all the info about boot camp. I was support nervous about it up until a few weeks ago. I finish school in May and go straight to boot camp God willing. Can't wait and again thank you Austen!

Hahahaha, can’t imagine how you were shy in the bootcamp. You seem like a more outgoing and motivate person now. Thank you for all the great videos.

3:19 minecraft eating and drinking sounds 😂

Weapons PO's for the win! It's always nice to wake up every 2 hours for watch changes and having your lunch interrupted because no one knows how to use a weapon even though the directions are on a 3 foot tall board right next to the change station. 😂

the beginning is so calming with mug and all it feels like the beginning of an art video

You are definitely the most helpful sailor currently (more than jt dwk and Nicky)also, Oh my fuckin lord that uniform is so damm beautiful! Road to 10k keep em coming

Love your videos. Always been on the hinge of enlisting and not. I for sure am going to enlist before the end of the summer

I have to pass the ASVAB first math is the part I struggle the most but I have faith that I will pass it 😁 I’m studying and preparing for boot camp so I don’t wait the last minute!

Thanks for this I'm sixteen now but time flew too fast I got scared and I started to look at these videos I'm planning to join when I'm eighteen, and this really calmed me down the things you said is the things I usually do thanks you be safe.

I graduated about 1 -2 years ago and im only watching this now, The first tip I heard from many friends who graduated prior to me going to boot and it is a Must to follow. I also had some what of initiative because I volunteered for section lead but was not chosen but about 2 weeks later my petty officers decided to give me the role after one of our section leaders was set back.

Firstly: this guys accent and way of speaking is so freaking amazing Second 4:40 and I’m wHEEZING At tgat storyyy

I swore in on Tuesday and leaving for boot camp on May 13!!! Super nervous and trying to prepare as much as possible..got 2 months gonna binge these videos. Thank you!!

Thank you for this Austen. I go to bootcamp in a month from now!

Leave for Boot camp in a few Hours. God got Me🙏🏾☝🏾

I thought your accent was familiar! I’m from bama too. You’re videos are extremely helpful btw. I’m hoping to join the navy sometime in the next year 💙

Really becoming a fan of yours. You're very interesting, dedicated and funny. Supa!

This was helpful , can’t wait to take my asvb and join

Thanks Austen

Another amazing video man you never surprise me👍🏼

im not in the military but i want to one day enlist but i feel like one thing you could've talked about(only cause i see it alot from other videos an well also military motivation quotes) was not giving up my cousin is in the navy atm an he remembered the only thing that was really keeping him going was he had learned to never give up an keep pushing forward he also dealt with his father always being strict an stern so he said that actually also helped him understand why cause he had to change his mindset from a civilian life to the military like life an i think im going to use that type of motivation to keep me going when/if i decide to join when im done with school

Thanks!

I recommend getting in shape a few months before you move to RTC. I went there in such good shape that physically it was to easy.

Love when austen slurps drinks his drink u make me laugh every time i hear this story

Hey thanks it really did kind of clam me down for boot camp but still nervious but I know ill be nervous till I finish and what not

Good vid bro the navy is a very convincing route for me to take thanks for the info 💪

I’m Med student in Slovakia And I am originally from iran ( totaly from different world)And I really enjoy watching your videos about boot camp btw I love sara 😍

When I went to boot camp in 87. San Diego the company commander made me the gear locker po. I handed out cleaning supplies and never had to clean anything except the gear locker.😂

I laughed so hard when he said “bag nasty” 😂😂😂😂

I go august 4th ur videos are really helping out 🤙🏾

im a 16 yo female and im looking to join airr next year. ive been working on graduating early to get a jump start on my career. very excited.

Good Information 🖤👍🏾

One of the recruits starting dating my drill Sargent daughter when I was in bootcamp

I was in usmc bootcamp,we were listening to a brassbelt di speak about the history of the corps,a recruit farted,... The di put his campaign cover back on and snapped an order. He told the recruit to suck up all that evil nastiness and go blow it out the rear hatch. Well he did what was told but it cracked us all up,needless to say we pushed.

Great vid thanks brother, I’m joining the navy straight out of high school to be an nfo so I may not need boot camp but still great to know

6'3 230..big boi. Thanks for your informative videos, really helped with what to expect. I'm getting all my transcripts and stuff together to join soon, it's been a process. Studying the asvab (learning hs all over again) like crazy. I'm 30, 6'6 225, so I can imagine I'll be in the back. My bro just reenlisted; He was on the Carter Hall as a QM and now a Riverine. Been telling me for a while to join and I'm motivated af now. Thanks again for making these vids, helps a lot amigo

He actually better then jt

Thanks for advice bro, this helps a lot, I leave for boot camp within 2 days

I’m planning on enlisting in the navy with my MO being law enforcement... but first I must practice running

You’re a cool dude. Thanks man.

AF in 1961, the tallest were in front and shortest drag up the rear. In the chow hall in boot camp, no one dared to make a sound.

You and jt have definitely helped

May I cut in Austen, I want to also say be careful who you listen too! Austen went through Bootcamp more recently so listen to him. I went through in 1989. My Bootcamp was very different to what they are doing now!

i got here from watching stolen valor videos and here is my 2 cents on basic training from an army perspective. he is 100% correct about the "do what you are told part". i do slightly disagree on the showing initiative part though. my second way to "survive" basic training would be to "blend". i would say the top 85% of our class was treated about the same, volunteering only got you more work. the bottom 15% were definitely singled out and pushed harder than the rest of us. I would also add a number 3. and that is to understand your drill sergeants. understand that their goal is to graduate as many people as possible, and work as little as possible. lol, "work as little as possible". we had all 3 of our platoons drill sergeants working 14 hours a day for the first 3 weeks, 6 days a week.

random feedback- i liked the style of editing in this video, very cool. would be cool to see more of it

prior service here: i appreciate you stating that the military is not like boot camp but the military on steroids... this is big facts. Super incredible chill intellectual individuals in service

Thanks for lessons

WOOOOWWWWW ‼️ My mind is BLOWN ‼️ I am watching this 4 years later from the EXACT date you posted on Columbus Day : Monday, October 10th, 2K22. #CONFIRMATIONSTATION 🙏🏾💞

I have no idea how I got here but ahha I love your channel 🥴👍🏽

Greetings from Talladega Alabama Austen, I'm shipping out on the 12th, I'm going in as a mt but if k9 was a garunteed path in ma I would have signed as that rate instead.

Can you make a video on the best workouts that will help someone when they enter bootcamp?

You're a good man! My daughter ships 10-1. THANKS FOR DOING THESE VIDEOS!

RPOC Great Lakes Company 512 September 1968. Don't be worried about Boot Camp, just follow what your told and you will survive.

“It is the navy” 😂

Everyone I've talked to says to not volunteer for anything and to keep your head down and get through it. Why does everyone hate volunteering?

My dad was in the NAVY as a medic as a First Class for 12 and a half years, he was retired due to a brain tumor, but he's only 37 and well now, but he said it was fun, I might join, but I am only eleven.

3:25 bro you weren’t lieing about being that guy in high school 😂 even I do that

Man things have changed from when I was in Bootcamp in 1989!

Going to bootcamp on april🤙HOOYAH!

I'm always starting to wacth ur videos ❤️😍

Asvab examination this nov 7 for the navy. Nervous 😂 can’t wait to be in the navy 🔥

going in next month thanks for a guide

I was told from someone who used to be in the Navy, to not volunteer for anything during Boot Camp. That was the only tip she gave me.

From the moment the bus gets there, it is all minds game.

Leaving on June 4 this year. Wish me luck

I leave December 8th 😅 nervous as HELL but I’m ready

No kidding you really got to show initiative.

So in order to survive boot camp I have to make noises during meal time and get my boi in trouble by creating sound effects? Got it! Thanks 🤣🤣🤣

I leave for Great Lakes 20190507!

Good video I like the new lens!

Austen Hi,I like you very much and your videos too.I would like to see more about your job. I really enjoyed to watch navy USMC seals .

thank you so much for this I leave to Great Mistakes in 3 days

I got a couple months until I go in, trying to get prepared for it but I'm extremely anxious

The Navy is strong in this one.

good to know

You should make a videophile this from a physical fitness standpoint

I leave for boot December 14th. Excited but stressed.

I love you i love your videos

1:24 i- i-i say boy 😂

Leaving for bootcamp in late November, love the content. Any advice for going to bootcamp in the Winter?

I have vivid memories of the bag nasty breakfasts we had every single day of week four...

Subscribed, ship out as MA in a month.

Hi Austen. Question for you....my son is 22 and struggling to decide what he wants to do with his future. He is working in a factory currently and knows he does not want to do that for the rest of his life. I've watched several of your videos and you said to decide what you want to do as a job before you talk to a recruiter. Where can he find descriptions of naval jobs so he can decide before a recruiter decides for him or pushes him in the direction they want him to go? He has not gone to talk to them yet but he seems to be leaning toward the Navy. He has been taking practice ASVAB questions to prepare. Your videos are very informative and I appreciate any info you can give me.

Just recommended Me This Video. I just Failed My Asvab Last 6months Ago. Hope You Gave Me Tips For taking the Asvab

Half a shot of caffeine 😂

I’m a skinny guy I’m getting prepared right now for boot camp my goal is to be ready after 4 months. I’m super passionate and patriotic I’m ready to get after it. I don’t care about the money I don’t care about people on the streets respecting me. I’m doing this because I love my HOME OF THE BRAVE!! I’m biggest American I know

I leave for boot on the 26th of may. Nervous as hell!!!!
