[@matthewrobertson4162]

To anyone looking to join or waiting to get shipped off. Boot camp is the easiest part of your navy career, it’s hard as hell for the first couple weeks because it’s a culture shock, you’ll question the decision you’ve made and if you should’ve just stayed back home. But after a couple weeks you get used to it, and get acclimated to the environment it gets a helluva lot easier. My tips to y’all would be 1. Listen to the instruction your RDC’s give you, they tell you everything you need to do for every task you’re given, all you need to do is execute 2. Trick yourself into thinking it’s fun, you’re not going to want to do everything they tell you to, but you just need to stay positive and make yourself enjoy the training 3. Always remember why you’re there and what got you to the point you’ve made it to Just remember there’ll be good days and there’ll be bad days, keep pushing through, never get complacent, just keep learning and growing as an individual. I didn’t study a damn thing before I shipped off, I learned my general orders and chain of command when I got there (study all that good stuff, don’t be like me lmao) but I mentioned that so you know that I went there unprepared mentally and physically and still pushed through, y’all can do it to. Good luck to anyone who’s thinking of joining and anyone who’s soon to be shipped off. HOOYAH NAVY!

For anyone coming to watch this because you're about to go to basic, here's some advice. I attended Navy basic training in 2011 and Army basic training in 2021. No matter your age I'm telling you that you can make it if you believe you can. It gets better after basic. It's just a couple months and YOU can get through it. It's ok to cry, it's ok if you have doubts, but it's not ok to quit. Even if you're the most out of shape, least intelligent, most shy/socially awkward person in your division, you can make it as long as you push yourself. If you feel like your RDC/DS/DI is singling you out, it's because they're trying to prove to you that you can be better than you think you can. They know that you can handle it, and even if they break you, you'll have an opportunity to rebuild yourself better. Don't stress about the little things, do your best at everything you can and keep improving and you'll make it through.

God, to be in bootcamp again. I was in ship 07. The Chicago. Same as this Division. I recentlh graduated. I was in the first training group to graduate on a Thursday instead of a friday. The point was to give our families more time to spend with us before going to A School. The bond between you and people in your division is just amazing. I have multiple people's numbers from bootcamp, including my AROC. It really wasn't bad. I cried myself to sleep from homesickness the first few weeks, but after that. It was great. I even liked ky RDC's. Chief Harris, Petty Officer Obryant, and Petty Officer Phillips, if you see this, thank you.

Went through in 2012. I'll give some quick advice to the newbies going through shortly. 1. Don't quit. The first week or two suck the most. If you quit, you don't go home immediately. It could be weeks or even months before you are processed out and you will always regret it. It gets easier when you learn to not be in control of you anymore. You are a pawn. You signed up to be a pawn. Be a pawn. Just do whatever you're told. 2. Embrace the suck. Pretend you are in a video game like Halo or something and the sucky parts are just a cutscene before you get to the fun cool stuff. 3. Sleep when you are allowed to sleep. Don't be that recruit giving motivational speeches after lights out. Tell that recruit who is giving motivational speeches after lights out to STFU. 4. Don't volunteer for anything. 5. Blend in. Don't be a stand out. 6. DO NOT EAT MUCH BEFORE THE GAS CHAMBER. Granted, we had it a bit harder. Usually you go in a few rows at a time, then you do your thing in there, then they open a door to the outside and you run out allowing for the chamber to air out some It was raining on gas chamber day for my division so because RTC rules were afraid of rain, the chamber just got saturated. When my time came to go in, the chamber was so damn full of gas, you could feel it immediately even with the mask on. If you've got a full stomach, theres a good chance you will puke. If you puke, you stay in there until you clean it up. Eat less that morning. 7. Do NOT join unless you know how to swim. Too many recruiters will say "You'll learn" or "They'll teach you." No. It is a horrible inconvenience to go through basic swim lessons. I could not believe how many people did not now how to swim before hand. 8. Don't tell bootcamp stories if you make it to the fleet. No one cares and it makes you seem like a boot. 9. (not a tip) Good luck. Don't quit. Lever 2000 sucks. The fleet can be the best and worst party you ever had/job you ever had/friends you ever had/ friends you ever lost/ saddest moments/ proudest moments/ funniest moments/ hardest you ever worked/ easiest job ever/ and best damn character building possible. I loved the shit out of it and while I am so proud of what I have done outside of the Navy and the wife and baby I have now, I still miss it every single day. also dont say "hoo-yah" outside of bootcamp. No ones does that, weirdo.

Some kid with with a worthless degree and a massive student loan or a veteran of military service who was a part of something bigger than themselves, trained to adapt, to work as a team and the meaning of respect and honor? 6) I retired as a plant manager, debt free @ 55 ahead of all my friends.

Edit: it’s more of a mental challenge than a physical one.

[@MrSheckstr]

Agreed about the getting set back part. I got snowed in at the airport in St Louis and didn’t depart for Fort L Til the morning. Because of that I missed the cut off day for the cycle of training, and because it was during a low period of the year there wasn’t a training cycle starting the next week. Because of this I miss the starting date of my AIT class and once again there wasn’t another class starting the following week so all in all from start to finish I had about of month of dead time, all this meant that I missed my goal of getting done in time to go back home and participating in HS graduation. It actually bugged me so much I talked to a chaplain about trying to delay AIT and instead he arranged for me to take a three day pass to go home for the ceremony. Found out later that my drill sergeant from basic found out about my situation before I was even aware of it myself and was making the arrangements on my behalf.

United States Navy veteran here. Thanks for showing this video. It gives new recruits a chance to see what they'll be facing in the Navy basic training.

[@corpsman827]

I served 8 years in the Navy, and half of them was spent as a FMF Corpsman with the Marines. I would encourage anyone thinking of joining to jump head first in and go for it. The benefits when you get out are amazing, and you will be part of a brotherhood for life.

[@senko147]

What benefits if you don’t mind me asking ?😊

[@SatisfyingCentral-c3k]

Thank you so much for your service! I decided at 12 that I wanted to be in the navy just like my BFF's dad. I'm 15 now, but I still have 3 years until I enlist. Seeing this documentary gives me immense joy and determination to do my best to prepare for it!

​@@senko147the legendary va loan is one of the few things you are entitled to. Depending on the price of the house and a few other factors, you might be able to buy a house with low interest, and zero down. Depending on your rate, you can get certain qualifications that are desirable by companies in the civilian world. Top those qualifications on your time (experience) doing that particular job, and you'll find a well paying job after you get out easily. Only about half of your income is taxable. The money you get from basic housing allowance, food allowancd, and other auxiliary pays (depending on your job; i.e. sea pay, hazardous pay, etc) are non-taxable. Depending on the state, they may not even tax your taxable income portion as well. So on paper, you perhaps won't make as much as you'd like, but if you play your cards right, in practice, you should be able to make decent money.

In boot camp, the moments I cried was during the capping ceremony after battle stations and when we broke ranks for liberty and I heard my mom exclaim my name before I saw my parents for the first time in 3 months. 4 weeks of COVID quarantine and 8 weeks of training.

Kbolter NORRIS economic instability? Can you elaborate? Aside from Libya, can you give another example? Tens of thousands? Relax a little, this so called American Imperial Army is much more relaxed than historical powers like Britain, France, and The Ottomans, among dozens of others. More countries benefit from the US than those who are hurt by our policies.

[@kbolternorris2676]

@@Arcticos0 I live in Argentina you piece of shit, don't you dare sweet talk me on US foreign policy, your fucking government threw a coup in my country, and is only one of dozens. The usa imposes sanctions and plays the good guy via the imf just to impose their neoliberal bullshit on other countries for the benefit of corporations. not only that, they've invaded afghanistan for more than a decade, they've bombed an iranian general for no reason, irak happened, and don't get me started on vietnam. No, please, do defend the american empire you alienated piece of shit

[@Arcticos0]

Kbolter NORRIS it’s great that you live on Argentina, Macri was quite friendly with the US, hopefully Fernandez will be the same way. Also, you might be the most ignorant person I’ve seen in quite some time. You seem so angry and upset, calm down a little there buddy. That “coup” was brought about because y’all waited until the final weeks of the war to declare war on Germany. Oh wait, you were talking about the coup in the 70s and the whole “dirty war” weren’t you? Just thought I’d remind you that y’all were the last Latin American country to declare war. Also, don’t forget where Argentines got their weapons from before we stopped selling them to you. The current Afghani President is actually favorable towards the US and has requested that we stay until it is indeed stable, so I think his opinion is worth more than some crybaby on the Internet 😂. Killed an Iranian general for no reason? You mean the general that has accounted for 16% of American deaths in the Middle East? No reason really? Vietnam? Go ahead and start, it was completely staged by the US, want me to argue that? I don’t know why you seem to think everyone who disagrees with you on one thing will disagree with you on everything. I don’t like the IMF, some countries really do, like many in Africa, nothing we can do about it. Also, thanks for ignoring the fact that the US is the most relaxed “empire” in history. Even Belgium in their short period of time ruling over the Congo had managed to kill more people than the USA has, by far. Hate us all you want, but we’ve given you the Internet to do so, if we really were an empire, we’d monopolize the Internet and silence any speech against the US. Also, the Us did not cause the coup, they supported it. Peron had the support of only one general, that’s it, her presidency was never going to last. Now then, why don’t you focus on getting the Falklands back instead of hating. You literally came to this video to hate, how pathetic.
