Making a Sailor: Episode 2 - "What did I get myself into?"

Step off the bus with the four recruits we're following through U.S. Navy boot camp in episode two of All Hands Magazine's mini-documentary "Making a Sailor." (U.S. Navy video/Released)

[@balance1619]

CANDYMANE Yes idiot. Thank our large military for your safety. You don’t have to ever worry about missiles landing on your house because of our brave service members. If you don’t like it by all means go to Syria, Israel, or any country bordering North Korea. Ask their citizens if they wouldn’t mind having a large military so they can sleep soundly at night. Fact is if we ever needed manpower to fight a war you’d be the last in line. Sad.

[@Gaysony024]

Chief Kalaw is scary but the more you progress in training, the more the rdcs ease up on you. On 6-3 of training, chief came in while we were doing pt and he was singing Taylor Swift and told us that she was the greatest singer of our generation and walked out

[@leograndthio5074]

Damn in the army they got their shit thrown but this is kinda soft compared to others.

[@RhettyforHistory]

@@leograndthio5074 It was more like that. If you didn't make your rack or your locker area was not squared away your stuff was yanked out in the middle of the compartment. If too many people had done that then they did what was called abandoned ship. That meant you closed all the windows to the barracks, moved the racks to the side of the compartment, rolled down your sleeves and buttoned your collar all the way up. There was no air conditioning in the barracks back then. So you were PT'd until everyone's uniformed was completely wet from sweat and then went beyond. They called it make it rain which meant the sweat had to build up on the ceiling and drip down before we stopped. Might be old school Navy I'm not sure but it was more intense than what I've seen so far.

[@leograndthio5074]

No i mean getting off of the bus privates already be getting folded and doing multiple sets of push ups after almost falling asleep. Then we have drill sargents throwing luggages into puddles and putting hands on the new privates.

Its cuz he was a fmf corpsman for the marines. That boy seen some combat.

[@nedsrandom]

@@eddieislas4538 well you don't know navy bootcamp either so, nice. Also it was just this chief reminded me of the drill sergeants you see on TV/KZbin videos

[@StevenLandskroener]

More intense than I expected of Navy Bootcamp, but still FAR less Chaotic than Marine Boot Camp Receiving. My ears were ringing constantly.

[@andrewarredondo6305]

That was my chief at boot camp from 0:00 lol ahhh I remember the yelling and endless pushups from that guy 😂💀

[@thirstycamel1895]

So I'm told the Chief "greeting" the recruits is nick named the Lizard King lolol. Dude is pretty intense, I like it, makes me feel better about the Navy.

[@rjhernandez1883]

Camel Tow I was there in January. This video doesn’t do justice. It’s much more intense than this.

[@johnmagee2080]

Camel Tow bruh the lizard king kicked a bottle and it landed near me lol I got shook. He asked a cadet “if it’s stupid fucking question hour” and “how many fucking Grammies does Mariah Carey have?! She has fucking 21”

[@thirstycamel1895]

I've heard, my son graduated in April, he said these are a watered down version and it was very intense which I was pleased to hear. Thank you for serving!

[@thirstycamel1895]

Hahaha, my kid said a lot of F bombs were dropped by the Lizard King which of course they won't air on these videos but we still get the point.

[@NavyVet_IS2_SW]

LMFAO! My RDC used to stop OTHER divisions as we marched across the base and call them all bugs and threaten to step on them. "Recruit! Do you know what I do to bugs? I STEP ON THEM! I CRUSH THEM WITH MY FEET!" I miss boot camp.

[@kennethhamblett5019]

as a veteran myself, i understand what the recruits felt as they were being screamed at. i am an army veteran, i love all my brother n sister veterans no matter the branch. i still believe i should have picked navy instead.

[@masonholmes3080]

This is the first time I’ve seen a navy boot camp video were they actually yell at you. Glad that I know what to expect now.

[@jeepjaxn5619]

Mason Holmes they curse way more for future reference

[@nermket4849]

they only yell at you if you cant listen. thats not to say they cant find a reason to yell if they wanted

[@richardcornell9964]

My rdc made a kid have a full conversation with a wall until we left for chow, another kid yelled out attention on deck when a petty officer walked in, poor kid did close to 50 10 counts

[@masonholmes3080]

Richard Cornell hahahaha wow, my biggest problem will definitely be remembering who to call petty officer and who to call sir and who to call chief

[@richardcornell9964]

Mason Holmes if you are unsure of the rank and they have khakis on salute them and say either good morning afternoon evening sir, just to be on the safe side, petty officers have black pants on chiefs will have khakis On same color, just never ever call a chief a petty officer after P days are finished

[@randomvintagefilm273]

These are hilarious. The new recruit said he thought it was going to be more relaxed? He obviously didn't do his homework. How in the world did he come to that conclusion?!

[@RoamerActual]

i love seeing this. god bless my sailor brothers, your corpsman and your culture that you gave to my corps

[@WheatleyGLaDOS]

Just saw the FMF corpsman pin on Lizard King's khakis, this guy was attached to a Marine Corps battalion. No wonder he is such a bad ass RDC. Respect to Doc!

[@fentontuck9998]

2:50 This man climbed on the table and screamed in that dudes face 😂 i love it

[@mkl62]

The remark made at the 6:50 spot is what our CC's pounded into us. "Look, people. YOU are the ones that are going to be taking our spots out there! YOU are our replacements! That's why WE have to send a good product out that gate!" Well, needless to say, and I saw it in "A" School and in the fleet, some were and some weren't. One CC told us that within a year, 1/4 of us would wind up getting sent to Captain's Mast for something. And sadly, he was right. I saw guys in "A" School and in the fleet. Fined, on restriction, some got OTH'd.

[@jamesk4277]

I remember chief Kalaw. He tormented us since we were an 800 div and used to sneak in at night through the laundry room. He would threaten to ASMO all of us and we even called him “Chief ASMO” because he said he would “ASMO us back to birth” when he would walk out we would laugh our asses off it was so funny. And at @7:15 that was my RDC.

[@argeniside1015]

That's what we called our 1st RDC before we even met him. First day we actually had him he asmo'd 26 people *snap* just like that

[@ayocam07]

Yo I seen when I came in boot camp he was yelling and screaming behind me and in my head sorry chief😭

[@Slygolem1]

Yea we came to our compartment he said he carries the asmo gauntlet

[@mkl62]

One RDC was called Little Hitler behind his back.

[@IPfreely333]

at least ya'll got a bus, we had a duty van pick us up and had way to many people crammed into there. 18 seater with like 25 guys in it, fresh off a plane, all full of the wonderful FAN odor. (Feet , Ass Nutz for the curious)

[@NavalBrickCo]

as someone who graduated last friday, bootcamp is similar, but WAY easier/softer now lol

[@KMcNally117]

Elaborate on that.

[@EazyRed]

@@KMcNally117 Physically the camp is very easy, easiest in the entirety of the US Military Bootcamps. Mentally? well the first two days fucking SUCKED. but after that? shit got easy fast, and after 2 weeks, it felt like a blur with how easy it all got. shall i go on? ya might need to be more specific on what i should elaborate on.

i can believe how some of these kids responed to the HMC's orders. I was scared shitless when I went thought in 2004. Never got yelled really, maybe 2 times?

[@matthewbarnebey1070]

I admit I actually cried the night I came to boot camp in early 2005. In retrospect, my world was very sheltered until then.

[@charlesthompson3364]

Matthew Barnebey me too, not afraid to admit either, but I wanted to prove to people that I can do it. I had a great run, 7 years as a SH3(SW). Had odd hononers like earning a ARCOM.

[@matthewbarnebey1070]

Appreciate the love. I was in also 7 years, but as a LS2(AW) and my time was shortened due to medical concerns. The Navy put me temporarily on their retired list for several years and then gave me my severance.

[@Frank131985]

Matthew Barnebey I also went through in 2005 and also did 7 years as an LS.

I graduated about a month ago, looking back on boot camp it is an amazing experience. You may not feel that way during your eight weeks there though. Pro tip: if you do not already know your sailors creed and your general orders start memorizing them. Good luck and the grass is greener on the other side.

P-days and Hell week are the the worst after you make it through hell week if your division does good you will your RDC's will calm down they won't be nice and they won't become your best firend but they won't be as big of dicks about literally every thing.( Also never and i mean never walk out of the head with with your Shirt untucked and towel over your shoulder).

[@mkl62]

At the 4:08 mark, the recruits are sending their civilian clothes back home or either donating it to charity. When I went through it, we put it in clear plastic bags and kept a ticket which we would turn back in the day before our departure. Simple enough. However, I read on another post that this was stopped because some of the recruits found out where there gear was stored and had been either breaking in or attempting to break in and steal it and go UA.

[@makai.5180]

I can’t take the chief seriously😂😂 he looks like he’s really friendly when he’s not on duty💀
