[@oscarjr231]

Good luck man!! Update is when you get back

[@Mypainfullyaveragelife]

Yoon commented. it's getting serious lol.

[@dogwhimper1929]

U know what i did during lights out every night, slept.

[@derekl5398]

Me too. Never slept so well in my life.

[@dravenericson9126]

Andrew Keck yeah man what’s the point of messing around after lights out if they get up at dawn.

[@sir_clovis8291]

As someone who recently completed boot camp these are some rules and what to expect after lights out. No more than 7 people out of their rack. At first divisions tend not to follow this, but they will learn quickly that an RDC sticks around at night to check on compartments and hand out the plan of the day to whoever is standing watch at that time. The watch is essentially someone from the division that stands guard at the door and roves around the compartment broken up to 2 hour shifts during the night and 4 hour shifts during the day. It is manned 24/7 with the exception of mandatory events like firefighting or PFAs. There will be some nights where someone has to stand watch at like 0200-0400 and everyone does it at some point. Do not fall asleep while you're on watch because i shit you not that is something that recruits can get captains masted and administratively processed out of the navy for. Generally speaking people tend not to fall asleep right away whether they chat with cliques, use the time to shine boots, write letters, or do whatever. If you're in an integrated division there is no traveling between compartments to visit your fellow recruits of the opposite sex. While uncommon and not usually broken, there was a couple caught for Netflix and chilling in the laundry room in my graduating class, and no one heard of them again. If you're part of the spec ops division, exercise is fairly common late at night, and unlike other compartments there is a pull up bar that people like to use at night. Any more questions about boot camp with detailed answers let me know!

[@GhostxNappa9001]

When you're on watch and you see people out of their bunks, how do you not be a blue falcon but also ensure you yourself don't get in trouble with the RDCs?

[@Alvez323]

I'll be shipping off tomorrow and any tips/advice about boot camp is greatly appreciated. Everything you've written here is interesting. I don't necessarily have any specific questions but If you have anything else to add I'd love to read more! The nerves/anxiety just hit me like a ton of bricks today and reading the comments(also watching these videos) are sort of reassuring at this moment. hahaha

[@jacobhaugk5908]

Im in the process of getting my paper work filed. My only question is wouldnt someone want to get as much sleep as possible? Im going off the fact you guys are only getting like 4-5 hours of sleep a night.

[@You_a_buster]

Chrollo when you meet your Rdc's they can't beat you yet? You have to be medically cleared they'll take all you guys to medical and then when you guys get back it's a green light, when your Rdc's say hydrate get ready for the beating lol

[@sir_clovis8291]

so here's the deal, aside from the first couple of days, moment of truth, battlestations, etc. most nights you're given 8 hours sleep throughout your 8 weeks. Your body will adapt and you'll get into the swing of things. Now watch at night sucks and it is something everyone does eventually. If you're assigned that you may only get 6 hours, 2 hours / wake up for watch / 4 more hours to sleep, or 4 hours / wake up for watch / sleep for 2 more hours. Also if you value you're sleep and want a job / leadership position in your division Id advise you don't pick port or starboard watch mentioned in your DEP guide.

[@ALEX25THEBOSS]

I loved the those people who would always try and give pep talks or dumb stuff. world's best part.

[@Yo-ww8ph]

That shit was annoying, all through P-days we had that

[@malloryphelps]

only 7 recruits can be up after taps. people write letters, workout, hygiene, talk, and sleep. it wasnt that exciting.

[@joshk96]

Jeremy T Haha Oh the last few days were epic! My Division fucked around so much in the last few days before Graduation cause no one gave a shit

[@scrubboinotorious4096]

Jeremy T yep

[@djandrews168]

All we did was dick around at night 😭

[@cafam6687]

We never had rdc's come back in at all. Only the ood around midnight to bring the new outfit of the day in, but we did have a shit ton of clicks. We also had a fight break out the first week after taps and every freaking night until graduation we had groups try and give motivational speeches and talk about how "we needed to come together as a team." And we had one person leave due to "mental health" but she was in seps still when we graduated.

[@jtmnavy]

I am Abbigail lol yes so tru lmao ,,especially the motivational speeches every night

[@billanthony7896]

Unless things have dramatically changed, you're so exhausted the first three weeks of boot camp that after lights out, 99.9% of the time you actually fall asleep!

[@brucewayne7773]

I saw several fights after lights out in Army BCT

[@UrbanMatts]

Anonymous Fitness protein bars

[@joshuaseabrook9835]

[@AndyLifeInVideo]

Struggle cuddle!!

[@eliaskaser220]

FOR EVERYBODY HERE, CHECK THIS OUT: I don't know, JTsuits, there's still a lot that we don't know about boot camp. For instance, what if one of us is in our rack, sleeping face up, but we want to sleep face down? What's the rollover protocol? Also, what if the stream in the water fountains comes from the left side, but we kind of like it from the right? Can we write to whoever is in charge? Ah, here's a good one: what color are the floor tiles, man? That kind of stuff is important.

[@eliaskaser220]

JTsuits...answers, we want answers, man! You gotta' give the people what they want!

[@AndyLifeInVideo]

Not Sure If Serious...

[@seandoyle392]

Cant wait fir that late night grind. it will be swoll'o'clock every night after lights out.

[@theofficialgreenkane]

After “Lights Out” the strobe lights turn on, techno music plays, and we dance all night until Reveille sounds at 6am.🕺🎉

[@tigerpopp6543]

I feel like JT would go "Do you want to know how I got this smile"

[@austinherzog8465]

Before even watching here’s what happened to me I graduated 5 weeks ago, basically for 2 hours after TAPS you just try to sleep while everyone else fucking walks around screaming laughing and when it’s finally quiet all you hear is snoring and farts, oh and there’s always 1 person trying to give a motivating speech and it’s cringey

[@johnnybessant4964]

Had to rock The Darkness after that one bro

[@spartin86]

the week of battle stations and grad. depending on the division can be fun and crazy. There's always those ones who cough their ass off..

Don't crush the roaches on the deck in the birthing compartment. It takes to long to polish the deck.

[@blicky7020]

I love your videos m8, keep it up!!

[@hockeyp111]

I graduated in April. It was 7 max outside your racks. My Rdc were cool and never checked on us. We would be at each others throats at lights out. Never got ITE. You were right JT bootcamp is different now

[@xraydudeman]

You probobly got easy RDC's.I graduated around the time you did and My RDCs dropped individuals if it even looked like they were talking out of turn. Call chief a petty officer? Hydrate, guy. Accidentally say yeah? on your six pack! accidentally looked your RDC's in the eyes? Your next exercise wil be 10 counts, begin! And I wasnt even an 800 division. Now it didnt happen every single time youd do one of those things, only when whatever felt like being an asshole, which was about 2/3rds of the time, and they eased up after about week 5. We were shitheads though, so we deserved it. Ive literally never been stronger in my life

[@joshk96]

Hockeyp11 we had a guy call a Petty Officer a Petty Chief! and he did it twice funniest shit ever

[@xraydudeman]

Haha yeah shits hilarious. Also hilarious whem your RCPO calls a senior chief or a master chief a chief while marching and then they come up along side the RCPO and just lay into them

[@joshk96]

Yeah good times

[@ecchiowl5905]

there was chatter across the entire compartment every single night until 0200 from day 1. many people got pissed cause they couldn't sleep because people were so loud. then there was the ungodly snorer

[@sheenab3792]

Shipping out to RTC May 24th, 2017. I'm still nervous as hell but your videos have been helpful. My biggest fear is the swimming. Hopefully I'll survive.....

[@joshk96]

you'll be fine I just got out, just try to enjoy it!

Thank you. I'll remain positive

[@ericjhoffer1483]

You crack me up so much ever so much, the same was when I entered Catholic Religious life. Then when I started to work as a prison nurse ..Man you crack me up!!!

[@77777Spooky]

I would think that everybody would just want to sleep, not screw around like recess. How long is lights out usually? Like 900 to 445 right?

[@joshuaseabrook9835]

77777Spooky Depends on your phases. There are 3 phases. CART, MCA and FEP. CART was like... 1800 to 04-05. MCA was 2200 to 04, and FEP was like... (at least for my division, 128, 22-06) Then the week before graduation depending on how high in the training group you are, that last week is like no bs 19-06 or 20-06

[@joshk96]

77777Spooky Yeah Most people went to sleep but every single goddamn night people were still shouting shut up literally right up to Graduation

[@joshuaseabrook9835]

The most silent night was that first time you hit the racks in P days. Other than that, everyone is always talking during taps. And even after Battlestations people were still awake and talking.

[@joshk96]

Right on

[@sayanhuesost]

I'm shipping out July 19th and I'm super excited!! the only concern I have is, how much time do you get to poop and stuff because if I have to be honest with you I kind of like to take my time pooping haha

In Nov.. of1968 didn't see any of the above action.. We started with 88 recruits graduated 79 At lights out everybody in there racs... and went to sleep very tierd My bootcamp was only 8 weeks

[@The007craig]

Very true very true!!! and most importantly the RDCs give you tasks at night and expect them to be done by morning

[@ivana.m6826]

[@jgarcia3045]

What's happening in the 4th week a day by day schedule? my wife's in but right now..I heard they do weapons training this week?

[@xraydudeman]

Yeah she should be at the stage where theyre shooting depending on which day it is for her. Also lots of inspections around that time so shes probobly a bit more stressed but after about week 6 its practically smooth sailing because thats after hell week and the RDC's lay off the recruits more

[@AtheistBassist]

In my division my RCPO wouldn't let anybody talk so pretty much nothin fun happened after taps except for one story. So one time at 0300 the roving RDC in our ship came outta nowhere and started yelling at our port watch and tossed his rack and yelled "FIX IT." Around 30 minutes later he storms in our compartment all like "IM BACK MOTHERFUCKER"

[@yugimoto50]

Lol. I remember when I went through seps for the navy, and an rdc came in and there were people playing chess, talking, out of their racks, and goofing off. We had to wake up and wait until 2200 til we could tap, then we revileved at 0400 for a few days. That was a lot of fun

[@tonydetuna1923]

Lights out and all you hear are Vaseline jars opening.

[@MrJason1142]

It's so funny watching boot camp videos after graduating! Graduated 5/5 hooyah 139!

[@jtmnavy]

haha i felt the same way watching them after basic !! thats why i love making them haha

[@EjNappe]

TAPS was CRAYYYY for my Division. OOD was always being called, had like two tables flipped, a few Top 6 violations, and the people would never shut the fuck up. Hooyha taps at 2100 and rev at 0400. fml. Not to mention the motivational speeches from RPOC.

[@exdoode]

That's segregation, truly representative of the USA!!

[@MrSolracable]

I was in an 800 div (medically DQed and separated) but for the first week the whole compartment turned into a giant gym and steamed the little RDC office. Was great

[@9999plato]

Lights our... A whole lotta midnight hitchhiking. There was a guy on fire watch with me who was dumb enough to write down in the logbook that a recruit was polishing his flagpole, I was like WTF? I just went to sleep.

[@raycebrunner1591]

Everybody is loud as fuck when the lights go out

[@ivorycranshaw4356]

I really love these video because I’m leaving September for boot camp so I can have time to get in better shape and it gives me a lot of time to learn about what will happen so I don’t go in there unprepared and I’m really grateful I have your videos to watch and help my nerves.

[@IgnemFeram01]

I remember every night brother div's ARPOC would give some annoying speeches for a few minutes and afterward half their division would stay up hooting and hollering for no reason every night for a good three hours. The first night we were allowed to sleep was the quietest our compartment ever was. Fucking hated the first few hours after lights out.

[@jtmnavy]

lol so true the speech part

[@xraydudeman]

Our first arpoc always made us stay completely silent for 5 minutes after taps otherwise hed tell chief to drop us right away in the morning

[@mikelloader9549]

[@airsoft0507]

Sleep Talking, I saw that a few times on watch

[@SiriusOmens]

I went through boot camp almost a year ago, I was also a all male division on ship 14. We got our asses beat everyday, we fucking HATED integrated divisions because their ass beating were easier and didn’t last as long! And the RDC’s watch what they say around females. Around all males they don’t give a fuck. But a small story about lights out. My RDC’s left for the night and we did our usual thing everyone played dead for like 5 minutes and we went into our usual routines, people started writing letters, getting out of their racks and talking, putting out Info from chief or just making fun of each other. Well we had one guy who always stood the first light out watch and while everyone was out doing their own thing he would shout “GOOD EVENING PETTY OFFICER RECRUIT Schmucatelly Ship 14, div 224 hatch watch reporting!” and everyone would scatter. Well this went on for like 5 weeks and we eventually just stopped listening to him. Well one dreadful day we were doing the usual and he snap to attention and is yelling louder than usual but no one moved. Until we heard him yell “GOOD EVENING SENIOR CHIFE!” And the Senior Chief yelled “WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE! And everyone was trying to low crawl on the outside of the racks in the dark 😂lucky he didn’t see anyone he just saw shadows and said our deck log was shit and threw it in the P-way

[@ericwinkelman3619]

Damn dude! I only had 1 person quit in my division. It was one the first day though, lol.

[@airsoft0507]

I just wanted to sleep 😂

[@capncap5258]

Yo JT, from your experience, how receptive are new recruits to other's help with Navy info while in bootcamp? I want to make sure the guys in my division have the best overall chance to succeed and I'm pretty good with memorization and Navy info (like rates and shit you gotta know like chain of command, general orders and the Sailor's Creed) and I love teaching people. After scoring pretty well on the ASVAB I've been tutoring others around my recruiting office that've failed or want to retake and they've done pretty well. Overall I just want my boys to do well, y'know? Am I gonna get my ass beat for that?

[@gutterbust255]

My second night in bootcamp the guy in the rack next to me acted just like the guy from shawshank. 3 days later he got out, or so he thought. I graduated and he was still on hold to be discharged, guess it didn't work like he though it would.

[@zenny5098]

Oh man I leave in 2 days haha, I ain't looking forward to the peanut butter shot 😂😂😢

[@mattboggs6304]

I was in Boot Camp at Great Mistakes in 1997. I never knew of any groups of people up after lights out. When I had watch the only ones I ever saw up were people who got up to use the head. Maybe it was different back then. I wouldn't have been up anyway. I tried getting every minute of sleep I could.

[@xraydudeman]

It depends on the division. In mine the cliques only lasted about 2 weeks then everyone stayed in their racks unless they were using the head, otherwise they only talked to people in the racks next to them
