I seem to recall more F bombs spewed by RDCs reeking of alcohol 😂

Why join the navy and cant swim thats stupid

I did this in 1996 we was getting screamed at and cussed out this is not real lol

Was this 1999?

Hooyah.....I attended RTC Great Lakes Boot Camp from Monday September 8 through Friday November 14,1997 Division 481.🇺🇸

I got used to taking poops next to dudes real quick, and making sure I didn’t write outside the lines on that damn guard log!

rip chow hall week, both Marine and Navy recruits went through it and it was a right of passage. This dates this boot camp video to sometime at or before 2003 and most likely late 90s as another way it's dated is the fact recruits get a short few hours of sleep after arriving which was eliminated sometime in the mid 2000s (not sure exactly when, after that, recruits stayed up for over 2 days strait).

If you played sports in high school and can swim, You are good. I qualified as first class swimmer out of Boot Camp, dive motivator.

Went through in 2000. @2:00 the RDC sort of resembles one of mine. This has to be from around that time.

YYYYYYYEEEEEEEUHHH

It has changed quite a bit it seems.

"Pretty please, recruit, don't cry... we'll give you 3 rows of ribbons if you don't wet your rack this week!".... Had real sailors when I went through basic. What a terrible, deadly flawed farce! I weep for the future.

Was in the real Navy... real basic training, real navy uniforms, real shipmates - no snowflakes... with today's jokes for leadership, the navy is going to be reef bait at the first shot. Go ahead, get mad at me, but the truth hurts like hell. Unfortunately, a lot of kids are going to die because of the woke agenda infecting society.

Bootcamps.

I don't recall getting yelled at as I was pretty much squared away. My Grandfather was a retired Chief Machinists Mate and he straightened my ass out before I ever shipped out.

WHO is That? From 1:59 til 2:10

Been there and done that USN retired

These days were torture. The sleep deprivation... Cumulative. On liberty I took a nap.

I was in the navy from 2000-2008

This definitely old school navy boot camp that i remember so many years ago

I ain’t even get a phone call

Navy boot camp actually got harder

The narrator did the Forensics Files show on MSNBC

Hope you tucked them in and ready them their night time story. There is no urgency or screaming

Didn't do that back in 1965

What year was this video filmed?

Is that the guy from forensic files at 2:48?!!

2:02 That's me!

My last phone didn’t happen, my phone didn’t work, the buttons stuck. I’ll never forget that. Also when we first got our smurfs. “Take everything off, even your underwear “

FYI I was in Great Lakes in 2007, and this is 100% a tamed down version.

Whatever you do, DO NOT stand up at Moment of Truth. It is rigged with recruits that will stand just to make you stand up. I did just that and told them I never disclosed to my recruiter that I had smoked weed at one time, even though I passed drug testing with no issues. They took away my job I signed up for and took away my security clearance. They said the only job I qualified for was Boatswain Mate. I managed to find the right person and got out on a medical discharge. I have no regrets because they did not hold up to their end of the bargain on my contract and anyone nitwit can be a Boatswain Mate. I never had to tell an employer I went to the Navy and I am more than successful without them. I took care of me instead of taking care of them. When the USS Cole got blown up, I celebrated.

Man, I wan to go again. I was there in 1983. This looks so cozy!! We did knuckle pushups on the grinders, 10 pushups in 1 hour 10 mins after our best inspection. I almost died in my rack after getting pneumonia and nobody cared.

Old school navy boot camp video i graduated from navy boot camp 21 years ago

Little do the watchers know, Sailors are on those ships mess cranking, lol.

Holy cow! The photographer’s mate chief was my RDC. We were his first division, sponsored by the Truman aircraft carrier.

This is a cakewalk compared to RTC Orlando Fl. 1971

This is a cool game, might give it a shot.

this has to be the hardest thought and best commercial im just sayin keith david and godsmack in the background

0:54 Retired FLTCM Beldo! I had a brief encounter with her in Bahrain back in 2013-14. They should have made her MCPON!

Anyone remember "SID" ? Ahem ... "Special Indoctrination Division" AKA "Sorry I Did It ! " I did Great Lakes in November 1970-February 1971. It was a lil' bit c-c-cold... Still good memories though.

Keith David has one of the most badass voices in Hollywood period.

What music is that?

Every single one of those recruits hit the wire on the Low Crawl! 😂😂

NEVER give up!! Ever!!!

My RDC at 2:32! That's wild

4:06 😂😂 this is what you have worked for....lmao

4:43 I had the pleasure to have this man as my LCPO at Division 109 Bootcamp in January of 1999. during the great blizzard!....cold as shit!.....oh yeah the blizzard too! lol. PHC Logan

When the Arbiter tells you to join the Navy, you join the Navy.

Still the best one
