Hi young man! I pray all is well. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us! My daughter just enlisted she just got there Dec 7th. She chose Navy because AF wasn’t even answering the phone nor was he in the office. I pray so hard for my daughter’s mindset to change, just like yours. Not that she was a bad woman, but she needed the push to do better for herself! Again, thank you!! 🙏🏾

I appreciate this video man, I’m 23 years old, was suppose to join back in late 2019 but got into some trouble w law and set on a 3 year probation so navy told me I have to wait till my probation is up. This video makes me thinking the wait will be worth it, the way you’re so happy w this experience But it does bring a little fear cause I know ima be one of the older ones, from other videos I’ve seen from people who join up late is they don’t get taken too serious.

[@lyfeoflain888]

Thanks for watching bro and don’t feel discouraged there was quite a few future sailors that were in their 30’s

[@marioag23]

I feel my whole life being turned around to but I still feel that excitement for starting something that I know and feel will make my life better. As long as I can remember I’ve always had respect and admiration for service members and it’s so surreal that in a few months I’m going to be one lol, I’m so happy that I made the decision to join

[@lyfeoflain888]

I’m happy for you bro and I was the exact same way your gonna kill it good luck

[@marioag23]

Hey man it’s awesome that I came by your video because I’m from Dallas Tx and I’m about to leave to Boot Camp in 3 days ! It’s super exciting and watching your video has made me even more excited to go. I’m going Navy Reserves as an HM and it was literally my first choice of jobs. I’m currently a medical assistant and I want to use my training and experience in the navy to one day become a medical provider both in the navy and as a civilian. That’s my reason for going in. I just turned 37 so I feel blessed to even have the opportunity to do this at my age, I wanted to join younger but I got talked out of it. Anyways thank you for making this video, I truly got a lot out of it and it’s made me even more excited to start Boot Camp, hooyah navy !

[@oblivion1134]

Hey man appreciate the video iv been practicing on my run for the mile 1.5 definitely don't want to fail nervous as heck I leave July 27

[@Storm383]

Congrats 🎉very informative,I’m waiting on a call any minute now to know if my son made it,he has the run only did battle station everything but the damn run keeps messing him up,and he got injured so idk how he is going to be,he doesn’t want to go to medical and be pushed back,he already got separated from his original division,and that messed him up mentally,but I pray because if he passes we see him end of month 🥺🙏🏽

[@paulgomez3254]

From parent to parent I understand how you feel. My son is also in his last week of bootcamp and I hope he has the mentally and physical strength to get to the finish line and graduate .

[@nicolas.p.lee821]

I graduated with Division 153 on April 22, 2022. I'm an ET so my "A" School is also across the street from RTC. My first initial training before going to the actual "A" School is called ATT. My ship is the USS Wisconsin, so you may have seen me before. LOL. Yes, I still think of RTC to this day and am writing about my experience being there. They say that RTC is the quarterdeck to the Navy.

[@KageRule360]

[@jmcrazy7w]

I’m shipping out June 15th, as well. I’m excited! I’m kind of curious. I thought the initial PFA was the mile & a half run. Was that substituted for the “pacer test”? I imagine the finally PFA is the mile & a half run. But the initial PFA is what I’m confused about. Either way, I feel confident seeing this video.

[@lyfeoflain888]

[@hawaiibound62]

Don't ever trust military medical! I completed last 3 weeks of bootcamp on a broken foot. I was diagnosed with double pneumonia as I repeatedly kept asking for xray. And only given cold packs. When I studied to become a dr. The first few pages of my MCATS study guidebook expresses where medical dropouts go to as a last resort. They hop over to military. Stay safe to all who join. Military has a long way to go to gain the respect back. Military deserves better medical care. My life turned around for the worst. I will never have my health back due to their incompetency.

My bootcamp experience was amazing but I got Seperated literally one day before my graduation which was March 18th, 2022. I failed my OPFA by 1 second. Literally one second but it’s also my fault I didn’t come to bootcamp more prepared.

[@lilphantom5260]

Is it true you gotta take a test every two weeks or month or do homework something like that in the navy also do every branch or just the navy have to test to rank

[@lyfeoflain888]

We took 2 Computer tests (Week 2, Week 6) And there’s 3 Physical Test (P-Day week, Week Four, and Week Eight) There’s other tests like Fire Fighting and Line Handling but those or more like team events but other then that I might make a video on the certain task to take care of through bootcamp lol

[@kimaroxxx8691]

Can I change from reserve to active duty or change my job at boot camp

[@lyfeoflain888]

You can rerate but not in bootcamp you can ask questions about it once you get there no Idk too much about it and I believe so that you can switch from reserve to active I’ll have to find out and get back to you on that

[@keanu2829]

I ship out August 30th, it's crazy knowing my life's gonna change. Physically preparing for what's to come at RTC, any tips?

[@lyfeoflain888]

Honestly bro I can speak on anything but Battle Stations lol

[@krispytoast8804]

We aren’t really allowed to talk about battle stations, but it’s not hard to the point where you need info/tips about it before doing it. The hardest part is staying awake afterwards. If you pay attention enough in the training to pass the tests and assessments then you will be fine, don’t stress about it because it ain’t worth it
