Navy Bootcamp 1 of 2

Detailed description about what goes on in Navy Bootcamp

[@AliciaK]

all i did in bootcamp was iron clothes and sit in classrooms all day...and the first phone call home was def only 30 sec long

[@mr.russell5395]

5 minute phone call?? Sheeit, more like 30 seconds Lol

[@82leegary]

Lmao I remember my phone call....My mom didn't answer lol

[@eviscero]

I was in the navy - and fought a marine - and I kicked his ass - then his buddies kicked my ass - then we all went drinking. It was a good time.

[@hanksmith8626]

eviscero nice story man no matter how much crap branches give each other there like toddlers and can forgive each other minutes later and play around with God Bless you

[@jp5063]

Things that never happened

[@eviscero]

@@jp5063 If you say so

[@duped8273]

yeah right buddy quit yapping

[@joshwhipkey631]

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

[@RazHolly]

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 “

[@moproducer]

The narrator is Peter Thomas, who proudly served in the US Army in WWII. He landed with the 1st Army as a PFC on Normandy on D-Day+1, and saw action in several battles in Europe. He is involved with the Army Big Red One reunion organization, and has led numerous tours of the Normandy battlefields. He is also one of the nicest guys I've ever met. His voice is familiar to most Americans who grew up watching TV, but most don't know of his service to his country.

[@Me-eb3wv]

That’s awesome

[@stlccbot]

@@Me-eb3wv We lost Peter in 2016 at the age of 91. Stella, his wife of nearly 68 years, predeceased him. Two very special people who supported me during a rather low time in my life.

[@BadForm78]

This looks way more summer camp-ish than what I went through!

[@trumpetman1989]

This is actually a lot better than the other videos that are up and are totally narrated. They narrate a little bit, but they don't overdo it so you can see that there really ARE people yelling at you :P

[@Drbolla345]

Nice, thanks a lot, I'm proud to be apart of the navy as a military arm force. I appreciate the help.

[@cheguevara778]

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

[@lexusbruh904]

Cool! I went through May 99'.. Time flies

[@Cufre27]

He was my RDC in 1998 as Petty Officer First Class and made Chief August 1998

[@snakeeyes254]

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

[@DouglasUrantia]

Navy bootcamp San Diego 1966. The best 13 weeks of my life. I can still remember those days like it was yesterday. It was old school intense but we still had a lot of fun. Our CO treated us boys like we were men. Douglas, Los Angeles, CA

[@Me-eb3wv]

You’re in every old school navy video. How you been man everything ok?

[@latinelover24]

damn like this trainning video, im a marine and i just wanna shout out to my navy brothers on the uss denver. thanks bros, made a one hell of a deployment. airforce blows

[@jarell19]

It gives me a sense of pride it reminds me so much of win I first joined. Even though im in the army I know one thing when it comes to what the military is all aboutwe all have one goal in common. Get the mission done by following our objectives and of course serving our country.

[@alexandermakrianis]

Thanks you! You're absolutly right. I wish more people would understand that we are all on the same team.

[@dungareenavy5970]

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.

[@67mustangreg]

Thank you soo much! This should help me when I join up!

[@wilz1122]

i remember basic at RTC, Div 090, ship 13, 2002 man that was a good time, i miss the Navy, for those thinking about signing up definately do it, you will enjoy it, trust me

[@shuckins]

This video makes me nostalgic...this was the video I watched before signing up. But there has to be a new video out there...so much has changed!

[@oceangirl027]

thanks for the info it really helped. Thank you for serving our country. God bless.

[@UnintelligibleCourtneyM]

For the record also, if you dont pass your swim/pfa by the time your division graduates, youll end up in another ship where it is just for recruits who dont pass your swim/pfa. You get more than enough chances to pass. Swim goes up to 17 retakes i heard. You're there until you pass it or until the CoC gives up on you... which is hard.

[@leonardnordenstrom7954]

I left 3 years ago. I know it has become so much pathetic more. I worked for my time in the boot camp and I appreciated it. Many years later, at sea, when I became seasoned I found what the RTC was producing. I, as the legal yeoman, was separating 1 rtc graduate every month.

[@jfr04]

This looks so relaxed... nothing like the firestorm I ran into on my 1st day at MCRD Parris Island! OHH RAH!!

[@akp777]

Brings back good and not so good memories. I went to bootcamp in june of 79. And i end up doing 20 yrs. it was hard and challenging and fun it finally paid off. and i was 39 when i retired.

[@PiscesGal]

Don't be nervous. You'll be fine! :)

[@sammydwm]

they make it look like a lot of fun.... I was ready to re-enlist under the buddy system when my son was signing up....

[@chickenpotpie84]

I was just wondering,what are the general amount of days you have left until heading out to bootcamp once all of the recruiting steps are done with?

[@samuraidlmz]

You're going to have lots and lots of fun.

[@PJason10]

I'm going to this in March, pretty excited for a new experience!

[@TheTraubenstein]

8 years later, are you still in? You’d better be a second class by now

[@semperfidelis271]

five years later and i still remember and respect my RDCs

[@tropicallanterns]

Lol, I'm glad you mentioned it. I would had forgotten what p days were if you hadn't mentioned it!

[@luckyfoot2]

@budlight214 i have a question. i have heard a few things about what boot camp is like and im just wondering what you do on an average day. is there a lot of yelling? because ive heard that there is and there isn't. thanks.

[@1General007]

Thank you for your response!

[@BradCooney]

Brings back memories. I went to bootcamp 24 years ago. Smart cards? lol, my how things have changed.

[@TwinSunCoalition]

Ah memories. I'd love to go back to basic. It was so easy.

[@Drbolla345]

I don't know what to expect, I'm doing to boot camp next month. I hope it isn't that bad.

[@thoushallreason]

cant be said any better then this. im with you on this. ive been deciding on which branch to choose from. its either the Marines or the navy. I like the navy cause they see alot of the world and thats my dream in life. But I also want to be the best, and be part of the toughest branch in the nation and thats why im thinking about the Marines. but either choice to me would be good on both sides. theirs icing on both cakes as well as the dirt in the middle of it.

[@stellbo]

I am a Marine been off of active duty a long time. I love the Marine Corps with all my heart, but all of this ones better than the other is bullshit we all have our mission. I watched and helped a Navy Corpman work on my buddy in the middle of a mine field while he was wounded himself, I respect what they do and we Marines couldnt do what we do with out them, I love you Doc Everett where ever you are.

[@jeffreydwightryanriley8308]

Ooh Rah, Marine!

[@oldschoolpaulie]

The intensity, the level of physical training, and the mind games. That's what isn't the same.

[@highlandqu]

For those of you headed off to the MEPs, you will be able to destinguish people and the destined branch readily.The marines have egos, the army kids horse around and are loud, the navy people are observant, and the air force tends to be a little more exostential.I am proud to be in the navy.And I am proud of all my friend who followed their gut and got into their service.I couldn't do some of it and don't want to.Also I could just say I really love being near the ocean. Good luck to you all.

[@SkySoldierSam]

Interesting Video. Navy training seems more organized than mine was with the Army (I remember the army training was monotonous sometimes). I always hate watching a video and seeing peole who haven't even gotten to any basic arguing about which is better. Great job on the video!

[@82leegary]

What year was this video filmed?

[@TheMatrixxandRhodesShow]

When I went in to bootcamp in 2000 that first night was a nightmare. They are screaming at you as soon as you get off the bus and you do not sleep at all that first night. They don't tell you that if you fail the PRT assesment that you will get ASMOWED (held back). If you fail the last PRT you will be held back.

[@blackbolt75]

Brings back memories. Great Lakes, I went in during the summer time. It's 15-20 minutes away from Chicago.

[@dolphindreamx]

The Army and Marines are frontline soldiers who will see combat one on one, which means after bootcamp you are placed on the frontlines in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. Much respect to these brave men and women. The Navy is more behind the scenes support so I was told by a Navy recruiter.

[@mattyjames81]

I gotta say, Navy boot camp looks a bit easier than the Air Force boot camp I went through. I remember there was like a pecking order within the trainees that was based on attire (civies, basic bdu's, bdu's with patches, dress blues, etc.), and the lowest on the pecking order were those trainees with civilian clothes on, everybody with civilian clothes still on got harassed and hazed by other trainees in bdu's performing dorm guard duty. But here the Navy gets their gear right away, lucky.

[@ParkPants]

I am not a Navy man (Army) but I do know that to determine when you ship out is to go to a recruiter, go to MEPS and then you'll know when you ship out.

[@dudeitsme7283]

Things have CHANGED. Some things were the same but when I went through it last August... things were a TON tougher.

[@TigerMeadows]

I was in the army but I have to say that the swimming requirements for navy people are usually pretty tough.

[@dnlcaisse]

@skxek The Navy Seals are a special operations unit. They highly respected in the special operations community because of there abilities. There training is considered by many as some of the toughest in the military there have been BUD/s classes where no one finished.

[@macreal65]

@MegaJGYoung Thank's brotha for given me more insight on that. Cause I knew it had to be harder than what I see on this vid.

[@ThatGuyExperience]

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

[@jaepil]

good to see someone that actually understands the situation. we are all trained to contribute to the welfare of our homeland in some way, and even though the branches always have some sort of rivalry, in the end of the day, everyones a respected serviceman/woman. respects to you sandbag32, NFS Lee

[@zero4306]

Basically it's when if your recruiter lied on any paperwork he/she submitted for you and you know about it, you have a chance to tell them about it.

[@wirklichdoof]

wow, that's so different from when i went to boot camp. i went to Marines boot camp. a lot more yelling and chaos

[@solfuso]

The RAN let you wear either glasses or contacts in recruit school, but I'd recommend wearing glasses for some modules like survival at sea or damage control. They don't give you any more glasses or contacts until you graduate recruit school and even then you have to apply for them.

[@bigmouth285]

my brother just graduated from the navy it was at Chicago,IL he inspired me to think about joining the Army i think im gonna do it to.

[@madscientist118]

Alot has changed since 2000 when I was there!

[@theace1477]

OMG!!! finally someone has a brain a knows the diference between the four differnt services!!! btw what was ur boot camp like im planning on joining the navy and i pretty much ask everybody what their boot camp was like....

[@buddharacing]

RTC is tough at first but after about a week its pretty easy. the p days are the toughest.

[@StevenRainmaker]

I can't wait until I enlist!

[@Grantisking]

this might be a stupid question, but does navy go in combat besides being on a boat?

[@blinkzvidz]

P-Days oooh. I still get chills from boot camp. lol

[@caltagerone77]

The bold chief with a mustache was my RDC Chief back in January-March 1999. His name was PHC Logan. He was tough as nails.

[@wilsontc123]

5 minute phone call...? that seems like an eternity compared to what you get at boot camp lol

[@anderberger]

dude that is so true i plan on joining the marines this year

[@crx209]

You are so right about that, this is so easy compared to USMC boot camp.

[@stinkingdog101]

When I was in the Navy....'74 to '78....We were taught to step in time while marching. Is this a new way to march....some on left foot and some on right ?

[@925Ghost]

do we not have an updated version that doesn't look like its 1980's?

[@CaptainGaruda]

In the swimming-related training in Navy Bootcamp, are recruits only permitted to use freestyle swimming technique, or are they permitted to use other common swimming techniques, like breaststroke technique?

[@SuperSailorBaconX]

Can't believe it's been 5 years since i finish bootcamp. It was easy though and battlestation was pretty fun.

[@yknig28]

im leaving in two weeks. im wondering how long u do running? and how often was it?

[@Skribduex]

When I saw those little cups I was like, "How the fuck am I supposed to fill that?". Then I almost pissed all over the recruiting office restroom.

[@jonpaulsquarter]

im so ready to get there August 12th cant wait. after that fort leonard mo.

[@docd93]

Thanks ITRIEDEL. As you know when the shit hits the fan, both of us would come to each others aid. Although mostly we do different jobs, I know a lot of sailors, and they work their ass off for this country!! Good Job. O' Neil (USMC)

[@Leon612]

I am curious about navy boot camp, do u kno if it really is not as bad as army or marines (physically easier)? I don't have the strongest lower back, so I know the army or marines would not be good at all for me.

[@dropchuck]

This brings back alot of memories. I was an RDC during this time. I was FC2 Silver at the time....... now retired FCC Silver.

[@ZombieRiot562]

wow this is much friendlier than the marine boot camp

[@girlplz007]

does the navy boot camp still do communal showers? and how long should one take during showering?

[@Nichelle0099]

I have a family member there right now and the hardest part for her is the verbal degradation. In one instance SHE WALKED AWAY!!!! They gave her the choice of being ASMOED or go to RU to be evaluated. They didn't tell her that if they found her unfit and she was granted the opportunity to to continue, she would have to start from P days. She chose to come home than spend 13-14 weeks at b/c.

[@ccayco]

haha yeah when i went to navy basic, they were a lot 'louder' at us right off the bus too. But then again, coast guard training is supposed to be way more rough than navy training, right?

[@orlandospencer]

I have a question. How often dose boot camp take place? The reason for this question is that I want to join the navy but want to know, for me when is the best time.

[@ccayco]

i heard its pretty much the same. just different things you do during training. Both are pretty easy as long as you don't have like a breakdown or something :P

[@tropicallanterns]

continued--coming up with a way to pay for school (i.e. federal loans--they're not that difficult).. or you can choose to do both. But the Navy can help you somewhat financially to prepare for college (you won't have many expenses while in the military unless you drink it all up) and give you professional experience at the same time which would help aid you when you obtain your degree later.

[@Str0ngSide]

Im looking into Navy Reserves. Is being in the Navy boring? ( Fire Fighting

[@Brooklyn1530]

@BRUTALrelentless what happens exactly during the moment of truth?

[@squazzley]

oh man looks so INTENSE! hahaha

[@jumpfree77]

this is like heaven to marine boot camp..

[@alexawilliams23]

Where can you buy the sweats at, at 1:54?

[@Cdiwins1]

How is it different? Was it worse when you graduated?

[@Luftwaffels]

I should be enjoying this stuff in just under 2 years time.

[@TheDebubba]

@macreal65 I myself am enlisted in the Navy. I'm supposed to leave for bootcamp in January. I watched this vid to see what I should expect, and to be honest, I didn't think it would be as easy as the vid makes it seem. Regardless I've been conditioning for the past 3 months and I plan to continue to do so until January when I leave. Just in case it actually is as hard as I'm expecting it to be.

[@munden1971]

Looks like the recruits have it a little better than when I went in.

[@RadioLaPrincess]

Does anyone know the rank of the woman yelling commands at :52? I see it's khakis which probably mean chief petty officer or officer. Anyone know?

[@dhs012]

so do you go through this bootcamp even if you are going into navy business management?

[@HazeGreyAndUnderway]

does anyone know what class swimmer you need to be to go into aviation?

[@KittenCat2223]

@chasem5657 yea it's old and a lot of the stuff is different. but is it rly from the 80s?

[@OneCrazyFarmer]

The only thing that is different today is: Better Bunks with built in lockers underneath each mattress, All new Buildings, New Battle-stations, Food served by Goodwill workers

[@mkl62]

I went through boot camp on April 25, 1986 through June 27, 1986. I was in Company 141, 11th Division. My Company Commanders were EMC Aguado & EM1 Frilles. Any else here around this time? Please reply.

[@jsj0199]

I was there. Brings back memories.
