I am tired of "My branch was harder bullshit." I am a former US Army Soldier 18B;Special Forces Weapon Sergeant Went in as a 31B Initially. Their training is what it needs to be for what they are. The USCG saves more lives yearly than any other branch. They are 100% about preservation of life. Where as I spent time in a fucking sand box in some far away country fighting for....what? They were diving into ice cold water in the middle of the night, to rescue American citizens. If you ask me, they did MORE for the people of this nation than almost any Soldier, Marine, Sailor, or Airman I ever served by. Every single branch is there for a reason. Have respect that they signed the paper. We all signed the same damn papers, understanding the risks that came with them. ALSO the USCG is the HARDEST branch to get accepted into! Just thought I would throw that out there!
Andrew Jones the Coast Guard isn't necessarily the "hardest branch" to join. Its just like every other branch, if they have enough people, they can set the standards as sky high as they want, but if they're in need of warm bodies, they will do their best to qualify you.
I like all the people commenting on a video (that is only under two minutes long) about the CG boot camp saying how much harder {insert other military branch} is. I'm sorry it was so difficult for you. Coast Guard boot camp isn't a joke and most CCs are just like this great CC or even more intense. It's not a walk in the park but at the same time we don't need to be pressured in the same way the Marines do. We are training to save lives. Not end them. Coast Guard is trained to make decisions and follow through with plans under pressure. Not to be numb and shut off. The Coast Guard's boot camp has a different end so the means will be different. That's just a fact. And I by no means am taking anything away from the training in the other branches. The United States has the best Military in the world for a damn good reason.
You don't understand why you go through what you go through in boot camp until you're operational. All the yelling, screaming and rules don't make any sense until your in a do or die situation. Regardless of which branch your in, the nature of the military puts you in harms way. I thought the training and intensity we received in bootcamp was excessive until our unit got hit by the Sinaloa Cartel. Just 20-30 nautical miles off the coast of California, our 12 man unit was conducting a high risk drug bust when the cartel murdered our Chief in front of us. No amount of training can prevent the shock of death or danger but it can train you to think logically in a time where instincts would have you panic. When our unit got hit, every single member of the crew rallied to try and save the life of our crew member despite unbelievable stress. All the screaming, yelling, punishment and "games" they play in bootcamp naturally made our unit into a machine when #$it hit the fan. America lost an amazing man on Dec 2nd, 2012, but the training we all received in boot camp saved more lives. Don't judge a branch based on its name, any volunteer in the United States Military is a hero. The Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force are our brothers and sisters in arms. I hope and pray for every member of the US Military and that y'all never have to endure the suffering of losing a friend or mentor in the line of duty, but based on the nature of what we do, some who read this will go through loss. I have yet to meet any member of the military who wouldn't put their pride aside to save another's life. That's what makes us the UNITED States of America. Sibiling rivalry is healthy but all who serve know, we are a team. No matter the mission, no matter the branch, America is the beacon of democracy because we stand behind one another. God bless all Vets of every branch. I pray every night fate keeps you all from harms way. But for those who aren't with us, your sacrifice and commitment was not in vain. RIP B.M.C.S. Horne and all fallen military
I was there at Sector LA/LB then. I went to that ceremony. Very sad day indeed and BMCS Horne was highly respected. As a former Honor Guardsman, it hurt me even more.
There were ex-Marines in boot camp with me. They said that it's physically tougher in Marine boot camp but that Coast Guard boot camp was harder in all other aspects.
I am a Navy vet. We didn't get as much screaming in our boot camp. I have heard that the Coast Guard boot camp is the second hardest after the Marine Corps.
This is a great video !! It has been 40 years since I went through boot camp (Army during Viet Nam) but I see that the Drill Instructor's are still very hard core professionals !! I am so proud of you all, and grateful for your service. Thankyou for keeping my family and I safe. You are partoling the front lines while we sleep in our beds.
I spent 4 years at TRACEN Pet as an instructor. Met LOTS of prior service guys. They always said CG's boot camp was as demanding as the "other" branch. With exception to academics. They said the CG required more smarts to make it through. I guess that's why we are choosy when it comes to who we select and its requirements to join. Even those prior service guys who had a few years under their belt as coasties said the CG was more demanding. Nature of the beast.
Holy Shit Oscar! Chief Ruscher you were a wonderful section commander. I enjoyed being apart of your last company! Oscar-186, and no I dont like donuts!
We didn't do 1,000 push ups but spent hours & hours in the pool everyday and drilled with those heavy M1's. Mainly I remember every CC being a bit sadistic and very creative, like marching us down to the Cape May beach in Feb so freezing rain could beat up the only skin not covered. the face. Right face, left face all over the face lmao.
+John Pontelandolfo that was the old guard, now they have time out cards when they are stressed. I did a million pushups and got beat a few times extreme pt. todays service are pussies
If you knew this DI as I have learned, this is the most mellow guy you would ever want to meet. If you had the opportunity to work with him, you'd know he is top shelf.
@SunriseHealthFoods, coast guard isn't just aviation nor just a life saving service, its been a sea going service since 1790, we have many missions, a lot of them are oblique and behind the scenes, from our buoy tenders to our 210s in the carribean chasing go fasts
That guy was my company commander. He was tough as nails, but he told a lot of jokes too. He was actually really funny, but you didn't want to be on his bad side.
USGC saves an average of 5,500 people a year. And has been combat in virtually every conflict fought by the United States since 1790. During WWII. the u.s coast guard, captured two boats, and destroyed 13.
Exactly it is used to weed out those who can't take the stress wont take the stress of battle. The problem I see isn't when one Instructor has a go but three onto one cadet, they can't hear you all, so it's a waste of breath. The other thing is that a command should be able to be given in a whisper and done, not shouted. I love a lot of what the American system does and likewise the British but it is a shame that a lot treat adults like two year olds and thus loose many who could be great.
No, if you are prior service you can attend a shortened version of basic training called DEPOT (Direct Entry Petty Officer Program). It's only 3 weeks long and they don't fuck with you nearly as much.
First I want to say that USCG bootcamp looks way tougher now than when I went through in 1989. I'm impressed and a bit afraid of these company commanders in these videos. Serious it wasn't this tough in my day. Now to all the haters, yes Coasties may not parachute into Iraq but trust me you can still get shot at and wait until you search a little boat and some crazy Hatian refugee jumps out of nowhere with a machette after you!!
Marine Corps is Physically the hardest boot camp.... but the mental factor of Coast Guard surpasses every branch totally..... i leave for CG basic next spring and im so excitied. ME rate all day, yuhhh!
Welcome to living your life under someone else's orders for the rest of your life (mentally). I don't care how many lives I save, nobody will dictate my life to me. People need to be exposed to conflict, urgency, but there are more efficient ways of doing so without causing permanent severe mental problems. Many would say they had a good time in the military but 20 yrs down the road, they are on the side of it asking for spare change.
If you are getting ready to go to Coast Guard boot camp you had better prepare yourself mentally and physically. For starters, I suggest getting yourself to a level where you can run (not jog) at least 3 miles and do 100 pushups without stopping. Prepare to have someone screaming in your face constantly. I went to Cape May boot camp in 1974 when the basic training was 13 weeks long and the Coast Guard had a competition with the Marine Corps to have the toughest boot camp. Don't kid yourselves. Unless things have changed dramatically in the USCG they are going to be on your ass and kicking your ass every second you are at Cape May. If you were a slob or acted crazy when I was there you'd be on your way to a living hell in the dreaded Red Belts (now called Performance Enhancement Platoon - PEP) so fast your head would spin. I once saw a guy in Red Belts who had a badly swollen leg who was forced to keep running with his full sea bag until his leg broke as he was running up the steps to enter the mess hall and his Company Commander went over and poured himself a cup of coffee as the recruit lay on the floor of the chow hall screaming in pain. The Company Commander then told the staff in the chow hall NOT to call the ambulance because the recruit wasn't going anywhere until the Company Commander had finished his coffee, which he did sit down and drink while the kid lay on the floor screaming with a broken leg. Some Company Commanders are great people and some are assholes who like to abuse their positions of authority like the Drill Instructor in the series: Band of Brothers. A big man in boot camp and an asshole that nobody respects in the field. Come prepared for the toughest eight weeks of your life at Cape May. They run a tight ship and they don't tolerate any bullshit. And YES, it will be worth it in the long run. A few weeks of pain for a lifetime of honor and pride.
They'll run your ass off right into the ground at Cape May. Through town, up and down the beach, wherever.....or at least they used to. You'll even dream that you're running. LOL.
@fightinirish1112 He wasnt my section commander but he was around our company more than our section commander. he was awesome. he kind of treated us like humans.
As a 24 year retired USAF MSgt I saw USAF Military Training Instructors yell just as loud as the Coast Guard Instructors - the Air Force Instructors seem to use the command voice more - or at least it seem like they they did - rather than yelling. Still if I was a Coast Guard recruit - I would be taking the instructors very seriously...any other branch as well. A command voice is using your diaphragm rather than your vocal cords. Hey it's all good.
WOW i look back now I cant believe I made through that craziness, i was young and stupid I guess thank god they didn't have you tube back then and I had no idea what i was getting into lol :) 2001-2005 US coast Guard Forever!
@marcolias1989 The whole idea is to get you to react as part of a team, even when the pressure is on. In about 10 minutes, anyone with half a brain can figure out that it's a role playing exercise, and not to take it personally. In fact, after a while, you learn to pace yourself, relax, and develop the self confidence you need to do your job under often trying circumstances- and maybe even come to thank that loud mouthed SOB of an NCO for teaching you to overcome what you thought you couldn't.
I got a cross tattoo in the finger is less than 1/4 inch width but is kinda long down 1/8 will i qualify and i got a tattoo on the forearm but doesnt reach the wrist bone like by 2 inches will i quaify?
i got a funny story, so when that cc came into our quarters ( not our cc) and he singled a ship mate out and the CC said what the fuck are u doing. my ship mate answered I am star struck sir. we laughed our asses off about that after lights out.
@bignigga60 I totally have to disagree with you, I am a prior Marine myself and I was part of a interservice training evaluation and to make the story super short and to explain it in a very simply way; the Marine Corps overall grade and remarks were that the the Marines boot camp is without a doubt the toughest in both physical and mental categories
That's funny, because a close friend of mine named Nigel served in both the Royal Navy, and now in the United States Navy, and he told me that the verbal abuse and harassment was much worse in England. He even told me that recruits are physical hit. What's your response to that?
Hmmm, interesting thoughts Purdy. I NEVER appreciated getting yelled at and belittled. As I went on, it was explained to me why it's done. The only time I can see three instructors yelling at one recruit is if the recruit showed outward dissrespect, in my opinion- Lay into his ass! Otherwise to me, it is total unnecessary bullshit. Here's my take on us Americans...
@11bangbangable we are the only branch with a peace time mission and we have loads of resposibility rite out of boot. id say when you are called to go out in a storm and save an entire crew of a sinking vessle you need to know how to react under stress. we also do law enforcement boardings dealing with armed high level drug runners and i hope you have an idea how stressful that is. 19 yr old kids drive multi mill $ boats. get informed. we have the second hardest boot camp right under the marines
I want to serve my country, and make my parents proud, but i don't want to go to Iraq. Mostly because my grandma is 95, years old and the stress could literally kill her. So the Coast Guard would be perfect for me.
Well it may happen in the RN but its never happened in the Army as it's a Courts Martial charge. They do get shouted at but not in the face, nor in anyway as bad as the Americans. My Father, who was in the Army said it never happened in his time, nor to my knowledge in my time. We do not use the bullying or hitting mentality here, infact it is a Courts Martial if it is proven. Your friend you spoke to could bring charges against them, it may come under the 3 year reporting area though.
I love looking at all these comments from guys from other services, and get nice chuckles.. For the guys from the Navy/Marine corps (navy break-off) who talk crap, when your service was disbanded, the Coast Guard was still around protecting the homeland.. And any member of the USMC who thinks the USCG was never at the battlefield doing work, just look up "Douglas Munro" ... Nice piece of history.. You guys claiming that a usmc could stand to BMC Rucsher?? You obviously don't realize why the USC
@AF2oo7 Ooook go ahead and believe that. Cell phone usage? Just because you get to use it doesn't mean the training is easier. You just have the privilege.
eddrum100 Yes the air force does yell at you. But did your MTI yell at you like a marine DI and how long ago did you serve? Because the PT standards are 13:36 for a 1.5 run 33 push ups and 42 sit ups. Oh and if you're medically exempt from running now in the air force you can speed walk a mile.
eddrum100 Even though I got sworn in 30th of may. Yea I have no balls, I went through the fire academy and EMT academy, and so far I've gone into 4 active structure fires, and 4 vehicle fires. P.s Lackland Air Base isn't a secret you can google to find out where it's at, also it doesn't violate a secrecy waiver to say when you went to bmt.
If what you're saying is true (I have no reason to doubt you), then why do you think our military services verbally abuse and intimidate recruits? I was told that "If you can't stand someone shouting in your face- how the hell will you operate, if someone is shooting at you"? Secondly: Here in America, verbal abuse and stress is used as a 'weeding out" process. Again, what are your thoughts?
I am tired of "My branch was harder bullshit."
I am a former US Army Soldier

Wow the Marine Corps is the only branch where we had to respond EVERY time a DI said something to us, at the least the CG yells as much as a USMC DI

if transferring from another branch... do u have to do bct over again?
In 1963 it was 12 weeks. Wonder what they took out
2nd toughest boot next to the MC. Hell yeah
i love it when ppl scream, it motivates me
yes you do
@marcolias1989 The whole idea is to get you to react as part of a team, even when the pressure is on. In about 10 minutes, anyone with half a brain can figure out that it's a role playing exercise, and not to take it personally.
In fact, after a while, you learn to pace yourself, relax, and develop the self confidence you need to do your job under often trying circumstances- and maybe even come to thank that loud mouthed SOB of an NCO for teaching you to overcome what you thought you couldn't.
I got a cross tattoo in the finger is less than 1/4 inch width but is kinda long down 1/8 will i qualify and i got a tattoo on the forearm but doesnt reach the wrist bone like by 2 inches will i quaify?
Thats me in the Middle there getting yelled at lol
Need more screaming Drill instructors in the CG.
I like that guy
@DTA609
You'll be too scared to laugh...seriously. Those CG Company Commanders are intense.
@Eversman1 thats what I'm talkin about. USMC all the way, son!
i got a funny story, so when that cc came into our quarters ( not our cc) and he singled a ship mate out and the CC said what the fuck are u doing. my ship mate answered I am star struck sir. we laughed our asses off about that after lights out.
man everyone is saying this guy is awesome he better be there when i join in 3 years or im gonna be pissed
How much does one get paid in the coast guard??
@joepops05 Have you been to every branch's boot camp?

@bignigga60 I totally have to disagree with you, I am a prior Marine myself and I was part of a interservice training evaluation and to make the story super short and to explain it in a very simply way; the Marine Corps overall grade and remarks were that the the Marines boot camp is without a doubt the toughest in both physical and mental categories
Shout out to then (in 2001) Chief Sutton, for helping me grow as a man.
Pause at 1:10, that T.I is just wanting to chew his ass!!!!!
BMC was there when i went thru
@usarmy624 The coast guard is a lot more hardcore than you might think
that drill instructor looks like my accountant.
@marcolias1989 its so they can break you down so they can build you back up
I agree it's just the Coast Guard.
@728harsh Where were you during spelling lessons?
@wood1andcritter This video is old but he was there a year ago when my brother had him
@Fuscoooo the instructor looks like Woody Harrelson.
hell yeah, this is more realistic
finally... he he
going to basic july 16, nervous as fuck
@fightinirish1112 he was the funniest guy there by far.
That CC is hamming it up for the cameras. He thinks he’s on Parris Island. Give me a break
what is the name of the instructor??
That's funny, because a close friend of mine named Nigel served in both the Royal Navy, and now in the United States Navy, and he told me that the verbal abuse and harassment was much worse in England. He even told me that recruits are physical hit.
What's your response to that?
so if you have asthma they wont take you will they, even if your in great shape
Hmmm, interesting thoughts Purdy. I NEVER appreciated getting yelled at and belittled. As I went on, it was explained to me why it's done.

@11bangbangable we are the only branch with a peace time mission and we have loads of resposibility rite out of boot. id say when you are called to go out in a storm and save an entire crew of a sinking vessle you need to know how to react under stress. we also do law enforcement boardings dealing with armed high level drug runners and i hope you have an idea how stressful that is. 19 yr old kids drive multi mill $ boats. get informed. we have the second hardest boot camp right under the marines
I want to serve my country, and make my parents proud, but i don't want to go to Iraq. Mostly because my grandma is 95, years old and the stress could literally kill her. So the Coast Guard would be perfect for me.
imma join the uscg after i do my llast year of highschool i been studying the test
@728harsh They were the very first responders to 9/11.
this is where Ashleigh is now....
Well it may happen in the RN but its never happened in the Army as it's a Courts Martial charge. They do get shouted at but not in the face, nor in anyway as bad as the Americans. My Father, who was in the Army said it never happened in his time, nor to my knowledge in my time. We do not use the bullying or hitting mentality here, infact it is a Courts Martial if it is proven. Your friend you spoke to could bring charges against them, it may come under the 3 year reporting area though.
Dude i'm so scared that when I go, i'll start laughing. When my dad was in he told me he would laugh, and they made him run laps..... 8(
@Blink0499 I lol'd
I love looking at all these comments from guys from other services, and get nice chuckles.. For the guys from the Navy/Marine corps (navy break-off) who talk crap, when your service was disbanded, the Coast Guard was still around protecting the homeland.. And any member of the USMC who thinks the USCG was never at the battlefield doing work, just look up "Douglas Munro" ... Nice piece of history.. You guys claiming that a usmc could stand to BMC Rucsher?? You obviously don't realize why the USC
@NelsonHoofard HE isn't a CC anymore hes a Section Commander but you'll learn all about that when you get there haha.
@kolbiie that sucks hope you werent fakin an injury
just look at the next chapter ull know all about it
yoo why are you guy's instructors wearing their cover indoors?
CHIEF RUSCHER, JULIET 186, PROJECT FATASS TO BADASS COMPLETE!
rest in peace munro.
why in everyone of these training videos is there a guy with glasses on that looks like pauly shores friend in IN THE ARMY NOW??
@AF2oo7 Ooook go ahead and believe that. Cell phone usage? Just because you get to use it doesn't mean the training is easier. You just have the privilege.
@Fuscoooo i wouldnt trust that dude with a penny hahaha jk
@ :43 thats what she said
The Coast Guard doesn't deploy and they get more strict basic training than the Air Force, and the Air Force does deploy.
eddrum100 Yes the air force does yell at you. But did your MTI yell at you like a marine DI and how long ago did you serve? Because the PT standards are 13:36 for a 1.5 run 33 push ups and 42 sit ups. Oh and if you're medically exempt from running now in the air force you can speed walk a mile.
eddrum100 Even though I got sworn in 30th of may. Yea I have no balls, I went through the fire academy and EMT academy, and so far I've gone into 4 active structure fires, and 4 vehicle fires. P.s Lackland Air Base isn't a secret you can google to find out where it's at, also it doesn't violate a secrecy waiver to say when you went to bmt.
eddrum100 I never went to BMT I went through the *civilian* fire academy dumb ass.
eddrum100 Oh wait you're that dumb ass who thinks that secrecy is the date you graduated from BMT, and the date you entered BMT.
eddrum100 BMT
*B* asic
*M* ilitary
*T* raining
I SAID IS THAT CLEAR?
@SunriseHealthFoods Your right but they are saving 500 marines in guatacanal by sacrificing their own lives
all i know is u will going to the medical facility for three days
@irenioX18 Holly shit bro my brother was in Juliet 186 Feeley ring a bell?
If what you're saying is true (I have no reason to doubt you), then why do you think our military services verbally abuse and intimidate recruits? I was told that "If you can't stand someone shouting in your face- how the hell will you operate, if someone is shooting at you"? Secondly: Here in America, verbal abuse and stress is used as a 'weeding out" process. Again, what are your thoughts?
sorry it took so long
