5 ways to "Cheat" Navy Bootcamp

[@yaboidiego9199]

Sleep in NWUs under sweats , on top of the sheets don’t use blanket, shave at night, wake up 20 min before reveille white socks under boot socks, learn to sleep standing up, study rank and recognition before boot, make friends w starboard watch, team work makes the dream work

[@sterlingarcher7101]

Just recently graduated boot camp. To this day my RDCs still don’t know who I am 😂 kept a very low profile

[@juancarlosvacio4414]

Any tips bro?

[@randalbland602]

How

[@fweakidtv]

That’s the route I plan on taking lmao

[@jb228takingover2]

Michael Dodge that’s how I’m trying to be I leave nov 27

[@deejkingz4116]

How?

[@sir_clovis8291]

Double socking was allowed in my division, if anything it's quite convenient from transitioning from NWUs to PT gear at freedom hall, and definitely saves your feet from blisters making marching and standing for inspections much more bearable. Also things may have been different back then but today if you call a master or senior chief just chief at boot camp they will chew your ass out. This applies mainly to the watch stander at that time and I recommend taking an extra second just to confirm if they got stars or not. Also if you really want a cheat for boot camp, if you got a dental appointment you'll be in that building for a couple of hours and things there are relatively chill compared to the rest of boot camp. But I realized is that once your appointment is done the dentist tells you to go to the front desk to check out, they go on their business and leave you alone. Rather than check out I blended in with other recruits waiting for their appointments and a snuck in materials to write letters with. Spent a good 2-3 hours that day being able to relax, clear my mind, and write some thoughts out. It's pretty easy to get away with but be warned I can't imagine the shit you'll be in if you do get caught.

[@base8789]

my rdcs even told us to double sock

[@chrisredfield8520]

Sir_Clovis listen number one don't get cought play it easy and safe.

[@cwilson000]

regarding sleeping in basic training we got done with rifle range in week 3 one Sunday our drill Sgt saw us struggling to stay awake. He told us that "when he was in basic training "they had a watch out as a few other privates took a rest" nudge nudge wink. it blew our minds

[@richarddwight9761]

I love how I got an Air Force recruiting add for this video

[@The007craig]

1. Double sock one white one black for pt 2. Starboard watch can suck it I was roving watch all the time 3. Laundry Advice was good 4. Chief advice is good people like that you see every day so you know who the ship CS is. Word gets around in boot camp between RDC's, Master Chiefs are always being tracked and you'll know exactly when and how to greet them. 5. Attention to detail, attention to detail!!! Can't say this enough your section leaders are your go to, mine was a bad ass and always told me when I was fucking up

[@umassfortrump1208]

The007craig JT SHOULD PIN THIS

[@elrickyhuertavlogs7274]

Just went to a navy graduation today an lcpo took me I met a lot of cpos and admirals I’m happy I went I wanna go to boot camp in a year

[@TheSpiritOtter]

Maybe I'll be there with you. B)

[@josephbrown5539]

Huge tip! Some divisions will request or tell people to go to "Ship Staff". TAKE IT. VOLUNTEER FOR IT. I was asked by my RDC who wanted to do it. I volunteered. That came in CLUTCH! RDCs will remove all the people they can during inspections, such as those who suck at everything, those they can put on watch, those they can send to medical. Youll get out of most inspections, and you can possibly get out of a lot of PT! I even got extra meals because I would eat before attending ship staff quarters, and when I got done and had to return to my compartment, they were about to go eat, so I would get seconds! I became friends with Ship Staff Watch Coordinator, and got the easy job of temperature recorder and intercom announcer! Half my boot camp days would be spent away from my RDCs. It was chill!

[@andrek5533]

Been waiting on your vids like a crack addict waiting on a fix 😂 😂

[@raichuubaybee]

Other cheats passed down from my own bootcamp Chief. You're only required to have 3 pairs of skivies/underwear out when inspected so have those 3 "display/inspection" skivies out that you NEVER touch and keep the rest that you use in your A&B drawer. Doubling up on socks is good, you can even wear your white socks (used during PT) underneath your boot socks so all you have to do is pull off one pair in order to change quickly. Keep your folded undershirts and skivies inside your rack on top of your A&B drawer at night that way it flattens them out even more.

[@nathanschubert3048]

did all of these almost from the start. My shirts were so flat it put creases into them for the DMI's.

[@RowdyRuth]

I liked your comment about taking responsibility if you mess up. I was working with three people in boot camp and we made a mistake. When we were questioned on it they threw each other (and me) under the bus. When they got done I looked at the Petty Officer and said I have no excuse, it will not happen again. That was all he wanted to hear!

[@Gfracker]

I called a senior chief, chief in boot, and got ITE'd for like 30 min haha! missed ya fam!

[@mr.joshua204]

Lucky you, I was molested relentlessly

[@mirissahuntley9422]

Best piece of advice in this video is take responsibility when you mess up.

[@ropete33]

Didn't serve but it's great advice in general especially working in IT. Take responsibility own up to it don't try to lie or hide it cause it will only get worse and now your integrity is in question.

[@USNavySeal956]

Your house is a badass. Btw I ship off to navy basic training in 4 days

[@JohnnyRebKy]

I was in the Marines and I find the Navy, Airforce, Basic training to be fascinating LOL. Unlike others I’m not going to knock it...looks like a good time! Yes Marine boot is 500 times worse in every possible way but that’s not for everybody hence “ the few”. I had a college degree in criminal justice when I joined and was “ supposed” to be Military Police. Well guess what...recruiter called one night after MEPS after I basically had it set in stone and said “ sorry man your gonna have to do 0311 infantry. And BTW you ship out next week the day after Christmas”. WTF I wasn’t supposed to ship until February!! So I had a weeks notice to ship out to Boot AND got screwed on the job I wanted after signing up with a college degree in that field. If I had joined the Navy or Air Force I probably would have got the MP job no problem. But I went to the Island and endured the hardest boot camp known to man and nobody gave a shit that I already had put the work in and earned a degree in the career field I chose. If anybody wants a “ job” after boot camp don’t join The Marines. 99% of the time your going straight to 0311 infantry no matter what they tell you. Not knocking the Corps...just telling it like it is

[@soccerchamp0511]

If you had a degree why didn't you join as an Officer?

Marine bootcamp has some things too i call them tricks to make bootcamp easier. like the watch thing. i knew the guy who made the watch lists and he would always put himself on watch in the morning time. so he can eat breakfast with no stress. he was already dressed so the dressing games did not affect him. i went through without special treatments from hookups.

My RDC actually recommended double socks to stay warm, but regretted it after our feet started to stink from all the sweat.

[@mikewazowski475]

[@med0404]

So, I was standing ship quarterdeck watch my first or second week, and three recruits who were 6 week or higher (you could tell back in the day due to the white guard belts worn after week 5) were drummed up to the chief of the ship office. One was sobbing, all three were shaken up. Their RDCs were livid, but not saying much, just contemptuous glares. Turned out they were doing the laundry PO nap trick you mentioned, and they were soooo busted. They were drummed into the chief of ship’s office and then quickly scuttled off only to come back with their p day sweats on and sea bags. They had gotten set back to pdays as punishment. Now, being on that watch I got to see all of the potential ASMOs or EMIs in our ship who had to stand in front of the man and get their punishment. The only issue, this was the first time, and it was by far the worst. I remember being so terrified and feeling awful for them. Some SRs from their division came to them and gave them addresses and phone numbers as they wouldn’t see them again. The chief of the boat even told them this is what happens when you fuck me, I fuck you back harder, or some awful RDC shit. Well, there’s a happy ending as they were only marched around and beat, and came back to their division. I’m sure this scared the hell out of them. Hec, it scared me. The only time I’d suggest catching a wink is on Sunday morning routine, assuming they still have that. No cadre is there, the forward watch challenging the RDCs will wake you up.

I've been asking these on some of your recent live streams. I know that the chat moves very quickly and you may not be able to see them and whatnot. So, I'll ask you here. Why'd you decide to go with the navy over other branches? Also, do you anything about the NROTC route? If so, then how hard is it to get in the last two years of NROTC without doing the first two years? Is it still possible to do this? My current college doesn't have ROTC, but that's how I want to enter the military. Do you still have to go to a summer seminar thing if you don't do the first two years? Finally, does the navy also use the DLAB test for people going into language careers in the military?
