The most informative 38 minute video I’ve ever seen. You guys are going to go far in the Navy career! Keep coming with the content.

[@jordanbrennan9215]

I do love watching these videos because they are definitely informational for a recruit headed to boot camp. Me personally, I enjoy watching these after I got out of the Navy after 5 years. It makes me think back to boot camp because when I finished I was so excited. Good luck guys! Fair Winds and Following Seas.

[@USNAaronPereira]

Thank you, you also!

[@CudaRayX]

Shipping May 21st in the middle of all the COVID stuff. This video gave me that optimism I had when I signed up, before everything fell apart. Thanks for the words of advice!

[@josechristian9513]

Thank you so much bro this gave me the confidence to keep working and enlist soon I’ve always been insecure and scared to fail boot camp but I’ve always thought I’ve been physically fit playing football soccer track etc. and also mentally strong enough but this video just helped me put those insecurities away thank you bro thank you

[@USNAaronPereira]

No problem, that's why I do what I do...

[@navymark101]

Brothers, I’ve been watching a few videos to learn about today’s Navy to help my son as he begins his journey. I’m a retired UT1(EXW) sailor who sadly misses his career that was cut short at twenty years due to an injury I experienced during my Afghanistan tour of duty. I did go up for chief seven times with great evals and great test scores however they only advanced one sailor or zero advancements during each text cycle. Congratulations on completing your first mission, you both have the right attitude. Good luck and always stay positive, though hard to do sometimes. I see JTsuits has commented as well, though he did not choose the USN as career, he served and completed his mission successfully. Be safe and enjoy the ride...

[@USNAaronPereira]

Thank you UT1 and thank you for paving the way for us and the rest to come. Fair winds and following seas brother...

[@zeegee3647]

The past month I’ve contemplated on whether or not I should enlist. My only doubts were my physicality. Most of my life I’ve been overweight and out of shape but for the past couple months I’ve been trying to get in shape and it’s giving me the confidence to enlist even though it’s one of the things I’ve never considered.

[@JC-sh7ws]

Bro I feel u . I've been overweight but now I'm not fit but I hv alot of muscle and energy , my tip would be eat alot of meat and vegetables, hydrate yourself alot with water and run , so when we enter we could be prepared

[@michaelglover2871]

I still have my training guide from 2001. Though mine was bigger. I also got really sick and all of my wisdom teeth pulled while there, fortunately I was never ASMO'd. I won't say how different Battle Stations was for us, because I don't really know what It's like now. We didn't have any kind of a simulator, so you can imagine how primitive it would have been. The whole experience was the best part of my adult life, so far. And I still get choked up whenever I listen to Lee Greenwood's song.

Taliboo Williams, boot camp is the easiest (and at times the most boring) time of your career. You will look back once finished and wonder why you were nervous / scared, etc.

[@breaunnahcolvin3714]

I ship out July 13th. I’m Airman pact for now, but it was better than what the liaison was trying to get me into (ABE). I’m glad I chose Navy over Air Force because the Navy offers really neat benefits. Also the Air Force is selective and picky as hell whereas the Navy and Army, they’re way more chill.

I am shipping out March 25th, 2021. I initially tried to go the OCS route, but slim pickings because I’m only doing Navy Reserves and since I’m older (34) there’s not much currently available (I would’ve taken any Officer job offered). Before I aged out, I decided to just enlist and go JAG when my 4 years are up. At MEPS I was lucky enough to get the # 1 rate on my list, RP. I will remind myself to post an update after I’m back from BCT, A, & C school.

Dont think. Let go of all your preconceptions about personal liberty and choice. UCMJ - you'll find out. Soldiers follow orders and endure whatever is thrown at them. Its not BUDS or SEAL Training. Suck it up. Look sharp and dont think, until they tell you to think. Follow orders ... plain and simple. Be strong! MIND, BODY & SPIRIT!

What’s an easy way to learn the ranks and the fleet admiral questions lol 😂 I’m trying to look at some info now

[@USNAaronPereira]

I literally Googled all of the information I needed to know and quizzed myself on it and made my own tests. I knew everything over one night. Quiz your self on the ranks, and all of the insignias (collar, chest, shoulder boards, sleeves of officers, and dress blues) it's all going to be in your trainee guide at bootcamp as welk

[@LauraZorza]

Ashley Moore, there is a free app called: “US Military Rank & Reference” that will help immensely.

Do they provide you with that book or is there some where I can buy it?

[@savannahmurray5583]

My boyfriend just left for boot camp this week. Before he left I didn’t want to know what he was going to go through, now that he’s there I want to know. We’re any of your letters with held while you were there? I heard that RDC’s can hold on to the letters until just before graduation.

[@USNAaronPereira]

That is completely false. It is a federal offense to withhold someone's mail. If it happens and your boyfriend reports it all of the RDC's responsible or that have knowledge of it happening and not doing anything about it will all lose their jobs and receive disciplinary action more than likely. My advice for letters, write multiple letters so your constantly and consistently getting them. It will make his day, the only thing I looked forward to in boot camp was mail and it sucks not getting it when everyone else is getting mail almost every night. You can send care packages also. Just no food/candy, drinks, medicine, or weapons. So like paper, stamps, money, soap and deodorant type stuff. Send (appropriate) pictures too! (The stuff we get really sucks lol) I hope this helps!

[@melodyfussell829]

So the Navy cap at the end of Battle Stations is the same as Marines getting their EGA pin at the end of the Crucible? (My brother's a Marine so that's my only frame of reference)
