Looked like you were gonna tell us some creepypasta stories there at the beginning lol.
Lol
Lol. Mixed it up for some fun. I am sure you guys get bored and I sure do in the same spot and setup. Hence the change and a bunch of mics.
@@JamesonsTravels "what have I got myself into " is exactly what I think with the feeder and I'm a bi sexual alien video's you show Lol love your work marine 🪖👍 from the UK
i thought that myself. maybe thats not a bad idea.
Lmaooo
The Transformation from civilian to Soldier/Marine/Sailor/Airman is something you can only understand if you have actually gone through it !
No doubt.
"Soldier/Marine/Sailor/Airman" PLEASE DO NOT list MARINES with the others!!! They (Army, Navy, Air Force) have had lame ass basic training for years!!!
I agree. Everyone who comes out of boot camp is a different person than when they arrived.
i havent gone through it myself, but i 100% agree
@@MC-td4ol yummy yummy crayons
the new camera setup with the dark background is so much easier on the eyes when watching late at night
Though the same thing as I’m watching this at 1:55 AM
His face still doesn't help...
But harder on the psyche, as if you're in an interrogation room.
try youtube dark theme
Agreed.
Enduring fatigue is probably one of the most important skills in the Navy, and military in general. There were times we stayed up 36-48 hours. On a typical underway 4 hours sleep was considered a full night's rest. It's not healthy, and it leads to issues, but it's reality and sometimes necessary.
Good point!
I thought something was passed so that they sleep at a certain time every night now
Or day
@@cameonkruse6734 I remember those sleepless days on deployments. I was in engineering and they worked us like a borrowed mule. It builds character but that’s about it.
I was an OS . We stood port and starboard watches in CIC , with a lot of our sleep time taken up with special operations . Two periods of four hours sleep per day was regular at sea . Not a good way to establish a healthy sleep pattern .
I think the reason why you like that Chief is because he is a 8404 Corpsman. He was stationed with Marines it looks like in Afghanistan and Iraq (from the looks of his ribbons). Plus he has the FMF (Fleet Marine Force) pin. It is the pin on the top of his ribbon stack. So I can almost guarantee you he has spent time not only around Marines but also Marine DI's. I say this because I was a 8404 Corpsman.
Yes I stood watch with Marines this chief is much more like a Marine than a Sailor.
And on top of that (corpsman who worked in GL with a lot of these RDC’s) he has that ability to sound off with rasp like the Marine DI’s but unlike a lot of them his enunciation is phenomenal which means that everything he tells the recruits is concise and clear
My BMC CC acted the same way.
Hell yeah, was thinking on the same wavelength.
I was Army Combat Arms all around the ground pounding spectrum
(11, 37 and …. MOS series);
but all the same, total respect for anyone with a CAR, FMF, and the Ferocity to Boot. Need more Hard Hitting Dudes like this to shape the newer influx of Recruits into Operationally Ready Warriors.
8404 here too! Semper Fi!
“Is the yelling and screaming really necessary?”
YES!! If you cannot move fast and think under the pressure of a drill instructor or drill sergeant, you won’t be able to operate under the stresses your actual job puts you through.
I also like to make the point that what happens if you're in combat? You gotta know how to keep your cool, because panic and hesitation will get you killed.
@@Sancte_Benedicte Most of these guys wont be grunts anyway. Though I suppose it could get a bit hectic if their ship eats a missile or a torpedo
Rubbish! All they are doing is getting a bunch of people to act as automatons and this is fine from a drill pov. But their development as sailors comes from their trade teaching. Me. I have no time for all this screaming and personal abuse.
@@andrewstackpool4911 Same. And when you think about it most instructors will tell you right then and there that they don't even yell once you're out there unless you seriously mess up. But apart from that it's all BS acts
@@umamifan Precisely. By and large the aim of recruit school/naval college is to get them ready and thinking for their professional training ahead and to teach them how to act as disciplined members of a cohesive team. And much of that parade ground training with the theatrics does just that. However there's a limit and to my mind personal abuse, physical assault and foulness achieves quite the opposite.
I had an extraordinary drill instructor, I will never forget this man as long as I live. This is back in 92. Five of us arrived a day early, he met the bus at 0330 and wasn't in DI mode yet. No shouting, no applied stresses. Once we'd squared and had our kit and bunks sorted out he got us on the line at attention and just talked a bit.
He said "Tomorrow we begin the process of tearing you down, piece by piece. Don't take it personally, everyone goes through it. It is an intense and efficient process and we will break you. But, we will also build you back up to be better, stronger. You'll feel like you can take on the world at the end of this so keep your eyes on the prize!". I come from a big military family, my dad was in for 30 years, most of my uncles served, and a whack of cousins are serving now. I had never heard of any DI doing that.
We spent the day spit-shining the barracks. That evening when the buses pulled up it was much more in line with this video but he continued to make a point to explain why we did what we did, every step, methodical and instructional. Even being screamed at, PTd till you throw up, weapons drill for hours... he had a way to get you to want to do it for your own betterment. Looking back on it I'm genuinely grateful for the experience. Nulli secundus.
The kid at the 6min mark is going to get to know Chief very well.
Love that chief. lil Johnny boy will get taught what the navy is about.
@@JamesonsTravels Unfortunately, what the Navy used to be about. NOw it is about gayness and political correctness.. If My Granpa ws still aliveas a 12 year veteran of the Navy even before WW2. He would go on a something spree. The Navy used too be hard assed sons of bitches, now?!
@@isildurelendurion1822 All pussies now. Leadership especially. Literal pussies.
@@JamesonsTravels That's Senior Chief Hospital Corpsman Kalaw "The Lizard King". He was an FMF Doc and served in Iraq and Afghanistan with Marines, combat experience with confirmed kills (from what I've heard). One of the hardest men the Navy has ever produced. He's definitely toned down in this video lmao. 😂
@@JamesonsTravels that Chief is a Corpsman (FMF)
I went through navy boot camp 20 years ago when I was 17 right of high-school. Had to get a waiver from my parents. When I got there I was like oh my god what did I get myself into. Thinking back it wasn't so bad. Watching this makes me laugh and brings back memories.
I went to navy boot camp about 50 years ago, I arrived at San Deigo about 1 in the morning went to inspection about 5 / failed. was told to put on all the close the issed me that day and run the grinder 4 times, I then became a seabee and went to marine corp ait, they were even more disrespectful, i went to nam in 67//68 served with the 3rd marines, I have ptsd and i thank my fellow soldiers every day. what a ride
I went to navy boot camp about 2 years ago, I like watching this video and looking at all the buildings with the flags on the ground and bringing back memories.
In Australia, I was at recruit school 14 years ago at 18 years old. I had to say I had the same reaction as these kids. Most of the time I didn't understand what was going on.
I went in 2001 it was fun
@@cr-nd8qh I went August 17th 2001.
I'm sure that Instructor builds them back up just as good as he breaks them down. GREAT Video!!
You only see him that first day you arrive apart from that never ran into him
Build back better! Whoohoo! 😃
Half of these guys, they will never see at bootcamp because they will be in another division or doing this for other new recruits.
honestly one day if we have cyborgs like what we see in sci-fi forget about having human soldiers/airmen/marines/sailors... use the cyborgs. ready to go out of the box.
Been through it twice over 20 years ago unfortunately.
That HMC Chief is the goat of the boot camp world. I have mad respect for him when I got to meet him.
You heard his nickname tho?
@@themarker6 the lizard king 🦎
@@SnowflakeDrone I was like wtf when I first heard him yell it at us lmao
The Lizard King, Reverend Lord of the Thunderdome
One of my Chiefs told us he was a level 125 Dragonslayer.
The biggest withdrawal I’ve seen at USMC bootcamp wasn’t caffeine it was nicotine. Some recruits looked like crackheads when they were on their first week without dip or their lava pen
When I was in AIT at Fort Leonard Wood the first day in formation we were told prior service members were allowed to smoke in the companies designated smoking area. The designated smoking area was in between the two dumpsters across the street and when they yelled fallout they shot out like somebody yelled fire
Dude seriously that was me going through nicotine withdrawals within the first few days at the depot. My senior DI would come in smelling like cigs too
@Michael Gerber Any tips for quiting smoking? I mean I get cold turkey is all mental basically.
My company commander would scream in my face with cigarettes on his breath. It would make me crazy. On first liberty, there were guys smoking outside the gate. It smelled like... Victory. Lol.
Had I been a smoker prior to joining the USAF, I would have quit a year before even going to Lackland.
This is almost nostalgic, I went through this 4 years ago and Im getting out in 3 months, the most fun I never want to do again lol
its is fun to look back on it. people ask why. for me it was because I was so young and fresh to impression. as a 30 year old it would impact me less. at 18 it was a big impact.
@@JamesonsTravels The military has certainly set me up to carry on with my life rather than if I went directly into college as an 18 year old. The attention to detail, maturity, and responsibility, is so valuable and im thankful I did it! Now the taste of freedom is almost there lol😂
This was great, i love how he realizes things that are different/less intense from other branches and acknowledges it’s because it’s different. He knows and accepts that different service prioritizes different physicality or different mindsets for the skills needed in that line of service
Exactly, being able to run 5 miles doesn't get you far on a ship, just like learning how to keep yourself above water for hours or days, isn't the best use of one's instruction time in the Air Force. In my Division, we actually had a guy who was a former Marine. He took the option to quit boot camp, which the Navy allows (or at least did back in '99), within your first 2 weeks, and will give you a separation without penalty. He was the only guy to legitimately quit out of 124 of us. A lot of guys got held back, had to repeat some weeks, but nobody else quit. Just the Marine.
New skill learned, sleeping at attention with eyes open.
"Saaaaay somethiiiing" 🤣 That DI is great
Yelling helps you think under pressure. Combat is fast, loud, hectic, stressful with no breaks or cry boxes. you need to be able to think through all of it to save the troops life next to you.
it's arguable that with modern weapons being as powerful as they are, the ship could get hit by a bomb, missile, or torpedo and blow up before anyone even knew what happened. with the advent of stealth fighters stealth bombers and maybe down the line stealth missiles.
@@cosmeticscameo8277 the weapon tech has advanced a lot. Problem is we can fire a missile into a building to get the bad guy if innocent civilians are around the area or possibly in the buildings. Like with bin laden, we could have just blown him up, but innocent people would have been taken out to. We'll need foot troops for eyes on, one shot one kill type thing. Until they make it fully automated. At that point we'll just need button pusher's and programers

I'm almost 54. I went in when I was 18. The hardest chief I had was Grayson. Big ass boatswain mate. The entire company ended up loving him. We actually gave him our company flag at the end
BM's are some of the toughest sob's in the Navy.
@@davidfaxon3336 I was a BT....
I had a rough BMC too. And a MM senior chief who was more collective. The BM was the one always on our ass. I could never figure out where he got all that energy. Like he ran on Energizer batteries, and never required sleep.
Daaaaaamn! that DS with the red cord has some serious ribbons
He's a FMF corpsman, a chief at that. Dude's top shelf.
All RDC’s have red ropes to signify that they are RDC’s just like how Drill Sergeants and Drill instructors use a campaign cover to signify their roles.
They don’t mail their stuff home anymore. You put it in a box when you arrive and that box gets put into a warehouse or some other kind of storage till you get ready to leave
That’s how it is in the Marines. I honestly forgot it existed. When we were brought to the warehouse after earning the title is was genuinely confused about what we’re we doing. 😂
Yes, we had coffee in boot camp. It was made in four foot tall urns and was strong enough to peel paint, but it was full of caffeine and it kept us awake and functioning when we were dead tired. Every Chief had a coffee cup attached to their hand like a second thumb in the chow hall. When they weren't busy yelling and screaming at you they were drinking their coffee.
Oh yeah lifer juice
Navy coffee is mighty fine, looks like mud and tastes like wine.
I dunno man, for us the coffee was decaf. Luckily I wasn't told that until like our last week so my brain pulled a placebo effect and made it work anyway.
We didn't get coffee at all in bootcamp
Lucky bastards!!! It wasn't available for my recruit battalion!!!
From a Briton’s perspective this is really interesting to see our American mates’ counterpart training
I vaguely remember they once tried US style on british recruits as an experiment, doesnt really work with us.
Always liked you guys. President Reagan's navy 1984-88.
🇺🇸🇬🇧
Brits just probably skake their heads......
You also got to understand that these recruits are being sent out to the fleet and will be responsible for the lives of their fellow sailors.
Very true and Marines count on us too we and call for fire missions from Marines. We goof up and guess who gets killed ?
Yes
That was expecting a big sign that said "The Fleet". Where is this alleged fleet.
Making navy seaman ;)
Jt in the house, as for the caffeine comment, yea that fake coffee was crap and damn I missed nicotine
Replace the man with men lmao 😂
JTsuits replace the man with man lmao 😂
ITS YA BOI JTSUIT
JT in the house!
Just sitting here eating a mixed grill watching JT. Winning at life.
Another thing about going through navy boot camp was its physically easy but they compensate that with breaking you down mentally to where everything really is attention to detail and you’re always on your toes.
Damn
Former sailor. Great memories watching this. I went through in 2004. I did 4 years of Marine Corps ROTC and I went to Navy bootcamp thinking it was gonna be easy. It was definitely mentally challenging, especially the first few weeks. To answer @jameson's question, when I went through 3 people didn't graduate with us. 2 men and 1 female. One of the males actually tried to fight the RDC. Crazy times.
I remember the first night almost 8 years ago. We’d been going through processing all night, and we were all sitting quietly in a classroom, waiting for further instructions. I screwed up and started dozing off.
As punishment, the RDC made everyone in the room stand up and just stare at me to make sure I didn’t fall asleep again while I sat on in embarrassment.
Yep. I was the first Blue Falcon in my compartment. (I learned though lol)
Thnx for the laugh
Your BOOTCAMP/ MILITARY videos are FANTASTIC!
THE MAIN REASON I SUBSCRIBED.
KEEP THEM COMING....
It helped me and my son DRAMATICALLY! He earned his E.G.A. on 4/3 graduates on 4/16😃 First Class CFT/PFT & EXPERT Shooting Qualification, Thanks to people like you who make quality videos to learn and laugh while researching important topics.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR MATERIAL....
Wow that's awesome!! Congrats!!
awesome. Expert and first class pft. Outstanding. It matters.
So threats is the way you teached him?
@@saryrios6029 lashings will continue until morale improves, buddy.
@@that1electrician well seems like you get scoulded and get threats from your parents then.
Definitely had caffiene withdrawls in boot camp. Literally the 1st thing I did when it ended, get coffee.
I jerked off when it was finally over 😆
The intro was amazing. It sorta gave me a idea that you could have a mini series of having a military friend come by and you both share a story or talk about a topic. It be sweet
LOL. "Don't call me Sir, I work for a living".
Is what I expected to hear. Thanks for the vid.
you an aussie?
was curious though why NCO's hate being called sir?
@@cosmeticscameo8277 It's to distinguish themselves from commissioned officers. The distinction is important as an officer at their lowest rank outranks all enlisted personnel, however, this means you have commissioned officers who have a college degree but often little or no experience in the military, in charge of enlisted personnel who have years if not over a decade of service. In other words, they are proud of their senior enlisted status which indicates they have earned it through years of hard work and a lot of screening including fitreps and boards and would be preferred to be referenced as such.
From a training perspective, it's mainly done just to add another layer of stress on the recruits, and train their situational awareness, and attention to detail. In some services, during training, the recruits would refer to their drill instructors, RDCs, drill sergeants etc all as "sir or ma'am" until reaching a certain point in training, indicating a progression of the recruit to a member of the community. This was the case in Navy OCS in which there were both Drill instructors and RDCs.
@@cosmeticscameo8277 You can't address a NCO as Sir. You can only address a commissioned Officer as Sir.
@@cosmeticscameo8277Also you can address a Officer cadet, as Sir.
Just graduated Navy Bootcamp about 2 weeks ago. It’s weird watching this video before and after going through bootcamp. So many things I overlooked back then that I see now in this video that I can relate to my experience. Just a weird feeling.
When I went to RTC in 97 some divisions were allowed caffeine. Mine wasn't so fortunate but we were there to make sacrifices.
If I recall correctly, after Battlestations we were finally allowed caffeine. Didn't miss it.
We used to put small amounts of toothpaste in our water on exercises. Gives you a little kick for a couple of seconds, especially if the water is cold.
Went through rtc 17dec17 to 09feb18. Chief Kalaw was there my arrival night. Never more terrified but glad I had that experience. I don’t think you could get away at all acting like the recruits getting interviewed. I think that’s just navy trying to make it seem more relaxed.
There is another making a sailor video with Chief Nichols. He was a Marine 0311 guy in Iraq and he was my lead rdc. Amazing guy.
Currently at the naval academy as a mid.
Also, I had a really bad caffeine withdrawal. Worst headaches of my life because I was drinking up to five cups a day when I left for Great Lakes.
love him. reminds me of USMC Dis
As a submariner attention to detail is paramount to this day, one small mistake can be catastrophic for the boat and potentially put the crew at risk.
I was honestly worried after seeing the air force boot camp. What did the navy turn into?
As soon as that bus showed up at midnight with instructors yelling at them immediately, I felt relieved.
Hell we had M16's pointed at us on the bus, but it was right after 9/11.
I went through great lakes in 2004, seeing these videos brings nostalgia. The layout is relatively unchanged of the building. We did not have coffee or energy drinks, just water but caffeine was the last thing on my mind at the time. We didnt have all that long a bus ride there as we went from meps to the airport and flew to chicago and had to report to the USO in the airport. I remember being early to the USO and the RDC told me I might want to wait until everyone is supposed to be here because once he checks me in I cant leave the USO until bus time not even to step out for a smoke as I would have to throw my pack in the trash can. I took his advice and waited. Just hung around the airport. We bussed from the airport to RTC Great lakes.
I joined the Marine Corps without knowing it was coming. I remember hearing don’t lose your bearing, maintain your bearing a lot.
I had a great and informative time. Semper fi
I didn’t forget to smash that like button Appreciate y’all all day long. Get er done.
I lost a load of weight during basic, in my 50s now, happy to report, I found it! 🤣🤣
Attrition rate with my intake was somewhere around 60% as a guesstimate. 2 full troops reduced to just under 1 by the time we entered 2 phase of combat engineer training.
I could use 8 weeks of basic training to lose all this weight I found 30 years later.
I lost muscle, but gained endurance.
When I went through about 6 years ago, meeting the RDCS was not like this lol. When we met our actual rdcs we got destroyed, that was just their holding RDC until a room is ready for them and their real RDCS to move into.
Chief Jamie “The Lizard King” Kalaw, RDC legend.
he was great in the video, i suspect the recruits appreciate him once they are in the fleet.
@@JamesonsTravels I served with him at RTC, he’s awesome! Btw, I love the vids brotha. I sit back and laugh all day. Thank you for your years of service also!
That Chief sounds like the actor Aaron Paul.
I gotta know why he has the name "The Lizard King"
@@ForrTheXP No idea where it started but I remember night of arrivals a recruit stepped on a flag and he got fucking HEATED. Chewed the guy out and when the guy didnt respond loud enough he said " OH YOU MUST NOT KNOW WHO I AM! IM THE FUCKING LIZARD KING! AND YOU WILL KNOW ME EXPLICITLY BY THE END OF THIS 8 WEEKS!"
That guy was me.
To answer your question about caffeine, you hit the nail on the head. I was addicted to mountain dew and energy drinks when I arrived at Fort Jackson in 2010. The first week was terrible because not only was I in week one of boot camp but my head was pounding. The first thing I did on family day was buy a soda at the PX. I still regret that decision to this day.
Things are quite different now than when I went to Navy Bootcamp in 1984. We called our Company Commanders who were Chiefs, Senior Chiefs and Master Chiefs “sir” instead of whatever rank they were at the time.
same for us back in 75
Same in '91.
And even the Petty Officer First Classes had to be addressed as sir. It would be great if JT did a react video to a bootcamp back in the 80s or earlier. I truly enjoy his videos and his comments!
The only time we called our Company Commander Chief was as a celebration of him walking in in his brand new khakis.
RTC Great Lakes , spring of 1985. Company Commanders were addressed as Sir . One day an OSC visited our company and I got mashed because I was the only recruit in our company with a contract to OS " A' School . OSC watched me get mashed , then said I might make it as an OS in the fleet . I was meritoriously advanced to E2 upon graduation.
Love your videos! My dad served in the Canadian armed forces for 36 years and watching your videos helps us open up about a soliders point of view on alot of what he went through, thanks so much for that even if you didn't mean to do so you helped me to get him to open up about alot of situations he went through so I could be there for him.. keept it up I'm sure there's so many others who you helped and many more you will
as someone who grew up with lax parents i love the idea of clear crisp loud instruction with no room for interpretation. my mom was strict when it came to school though so that im thankful for
The Chief is a master of face expressions. His face of disgust is my favorite.
My Chief in the beginning. He is the most Squared away and highly respected Chief I have met.
I just recently Graduated From RTC Great Lakes. From my experience bootcamp and even night of arrival was not at hectic as the videos made them out to be. When I arrived around Jan 25 we were met by this same Chief. In reality he was not as dramatic as the videos made him out to be. Bootcamp was easy and just listening is probably what saved me the most
My Navy bootcamp experience was in 94 and nothing like this, my company commander was an mean old muscular BT, he was a beast.
Can’t wait for the other parts of the reaction!
As a Marine I definitely think this training is soft but it actually looks tougher than I was expecting from the results it produces. I trained sailors to be base security forces as a Marine Cadre and they were often pretty undisciplined fresh out of recruit training.
It seems to be that way lately, I completed boot camp about a decade ago and have noticed the change in the new sailors that have come in over the past couple of years.
@@KrasniVityaz I graduated Boot Camp in 98. The Navy having a discipline problem it’s not recent the last 10 years. I’m not trying to say one branch of the service is better than another but a Theory I have may be on recruitment. I think the Navy focuses too much On promising Things like college and trades where the Marine Corps promises a brotherhood and esprit de corps
Thanks J.T.. Excellent explanation of the importance of, "attention to detail", and "military bearing" and the way it will carry over and will serve a person in everyday or civilian life.
It will and it does. I still use the same tenets every day in my healthcare technical job where attention to detail is critical and an albeit a little more lax military bearing, I carry myself in a professional way. I also still use the same troubleshooting methodologies that I learned in A-School to this day. All of it has served me well.
Carrying out orders under pressure is easy even on the civilian side but leading and administering orders under pressure is a whole different animal, something I noticed on the boot camp videos. And something I feel like I failed at despite any success.
My division started with 119 recruits, one of the largest divisions ever. Come graduation day, we had somewhere in the mid 80s left. Some quit, some were discipline problems, but the biggest reduction in size came after the first exam. About 25 had just wasted the last 4 weeks because they couldn't pass a test
What was on the test?
at this point its been too long to remember the specifics, but it went over whatever is in the recruit training guide as well as whatever was discussed in classroom lectures
We're talking football pass routes...I can relate to that. My childhood idol was Fred Biletnikoff. Fred was a master craftsman of his position. It's not the little things but the sum of little things that count.
An pine tar Fred never missed a pass he was just that good................
@@DMT-ix9zj: True. Also the Biletnikoff Award is awarded to the best college receiver every year. The guy has an award named after him.
I barely noticed I haven't been subscribed but noticed this was in my recommended. Already subscribed and put the notifications on. Thank you for the great videos and keep it up.
When I went through RTC Great Lakes, it was PT constantly because we were always on the go just to get from the ship (barracks) to the galley, schoolhouse, 1 of 5 drill halls, etc. And it's very accurate; when we graduated, none of my civ attire fit right. Go-slowers = shower shoes or flip-flops, go-fasters = sneakers, hatch, overhead, forward IG (there was one RDC that would say "Fawad IGQ"), rack, "Nabisco", Forward hold, ad astra. Thanks for the vid, some minor PTS flashbacks up here!
The “first nights sleep” is so relaxed because it’s a choice. Hurry up get an hour or two, eff off and don’t get any, your choice.
Attrition is mainly due to psych, and weight when I was in back on the daaaay.
We had 25 year olds and 18 year olds that wanted momma more than the Navy. We also had a guy gain 17 lbs in 12 days, he was already on a waiver.
I definitely had caffeine withdrawals during basic. I was used to drinking coffee daily before I started and I don't remember if I had headaches in the 1st couple weeks. I do remember closing my eyes while in formation just to get some rest for at least 30 secs before continuing with training.
I took everything I learned from RTC while Enlisted and OCS when I became an officer and used it to mentor problem students at my old high school. Several of which were able to change, get their act together graduate and go on and join the military themselves, 3 of which became officers themselves 2 navy and 1 serving in the USMC currently. Can be amazing what a bit of tough love can do to some kids.
I went to Greak Lakes, IL in November ‘04. This takes me back. I was so’s proud and tear’d up when I was no longer a recruit and became an official sailor. They must’ve shortened the time though, I went for 9 weeks. I still remember the name of my building I lived in too, the USS Marvin Shields, Ship 13. Good times
That was a good one I never saw NAVY boot have to remember one of those kids may have to close a door knowing the ones on the other side could drown.
That young lady at the end is going to make a fine Sailor.
I enjoy looking at these videos and remember the phases of training I had to go through during my service in the Greek army. What is of interest is that these guys are volunteers, on the other hand we all had to go through military service. As recruits we were told once by the DI what to do and from there on we were doing it, so there was not as much shouting, unless we were not doing something as expected. For example during any short of inspection by our DI or by the platoon Leader and up, we had to stand on attention and say our rank, name and specialty every time the inspecting NCO or officer would just stand in front of us, or even if he looked at our bed or equipment. The requirement was that we had to be as loud as possible both at standing to attention (we were supposed to make the barracks windows rattle) and of course when we said who we were. If the DI was not satisfied, things got like in your video and the whole platoon had to repeat the drill Attention - At Ease until the barracks windows rattled enough to satisfy the DI. Things became more like this video later on, when I went through conscript NCO training and later during Reserve Officer training. The idea was, that contrary to being simple conscripts, we volunteered to train for a higher rank, so in order to lead we had to learn how to be led first and then earn the rank and the respect of our former peers in the process.
I was at Great Mistakes in 08. Back then we had so many different uniforms that dont exist anymore, and had to iron our creases in utilities... Navy boot camp was a great experience in hindsight
i joined the australian navy just after full metal jacket came out. one of the blokes on the bus said 'sir yes sir' to a petty officer on the bus on the way to the training base. thats when the yelling started 'what did you just call me? i work for a living, dont ever call me sir again" hahah.
i think in basic training and for that matter in your category training (your job training) that yelling is a great tool to shock people out of their civilian life.

I was in the US Navy from 85 to 95. During two deployments to the Persian Gulf and WestPac I had liberty in Sydney , Townsville ,Adelaide , Melbourne , and Esperance while a crewman on USS Antietam , CG 54. Best Mates , RAN and USN . What is the name of that food cart outside the gate of the RAN base in Sydney ? I had a meat pie with mashed potatoes and pea soup there .

@@adamroodog1718 That's the place . I spent my last night in Sydney , hanging out in Balmain , then walking back to my ship , eating at Harry's before saying Goodbye to Oz . The best steak I ever had was in a Mum and Pop diner in Esperance.
As far as graduation percentages go, I dont know that number but when I went through boot camp we started off with just over 100 guys in my berthing and we ended up graduating with a class of just over 50. The 50 others we ASMO'd (Sent back in training) due to either Illness, Failing the PT test, Failing the Swim test, Failing a knowledge tests, Failing BattleStations, Getting caught sleeping during training hours, Fighting, etc. I almost got sent back due to my run time because I was a body builder and always struggled with running but I convinced my Chief I wanted to graduate with the guys I started with so I allowed me one more try and I passed.
I'm not sure what the attrition rate is, but I know that a lot of people get recycled through various parts of training many times instead of getting dropped, so that's probably why it isn't as bad. They kinda force you to stay until you pass everything unless they absolutely have to kick you out.

Q: How do they separate the men from
the boys in the NAVY?
A: With a crowbar

How does the Navy train their Seamen?...
With the left hand!

Bravo, I gotta use this one
It’s good to see Navy Bootcamp has not changed!
I go to boot camp on Wednesday. Two week quarantine first then I'll be at it, super nervous!
@@cookiocooky you’ll do great! Stay focused and know they are making you better!
I just completed navy bootcamp and it was just as it is in the video. Accept I had the ten week version. It was honestly an amazing experience
I was at boot camp in the 90s. We had coffee in the galley, but it was decaf. They didn’t tell us that, but most would find out during service week. I didn’t have any dependencies when I went in, but I developed some by the time I got out.
😂 I ship out April 22nd to the Great Lakes I’ve been training my mental state more than anything. I’m already fit can’t wait to ship out! FS coming aboard!
Congrats 👏 I can't wait to call you shipmate. Be 💪.
Thats where my dad took basic in 1950. He took basic in jan. And he said he froze his ass off. When through with his basic training he was shipped out to the navav Air station in Corpus Christi Texas. He got off the bus and it was 75 degrees, he thought he was in heaven compare to Illinois.
The previous video you made about different DI’s, it’s not surprise you did this be .. you enjoy watching Jaime Kalaw as the Navy DI LOL
I went through basic in 1990 at RTC San Diego. I knew a little what I was getting in to but, the shock factor set in about 0200 when we were still getting our crap handed to us like bed rolls, sweat pants and PT shorts. Finally somewhere around 3 we got to lay down, to be woke up with the sound of trashcans hitting the deck at 0400. Amazing time, attrition wasn't too high then, they needed to rebuild forces with anticipation of going to war. We had a few people get rolled back because they couldn't meet the fitness requirements. I look back now and actually miss my time in the Navy. The best part of boot camp was the gas chamber...loved every minute of it.
The uniforms have changed a lot. Everything has changed a lot. 20 years changes a lot of tradition, where we’re all the beatings? We got beat walking off the bus. Haha
I graduated bootcamp at MCRD Paris Island this year. I went into bootcamp at 23 years old. Prior to enlistment I was a heavy caffeine user, so to go from daily (heavy) caffeine use to none was strange. I almost never could stay awake during classes. every time I had the luxury of sitting I had to struggle to stay awake. Lucky for me I was quarantined I a hotel for 2 weeks due to Covid, so I had a lot of time to study the guidebook for Marines (I had predicted I would struggle to learn material while in Paris Island due to mental fatigue.) Overall, I craved coffee many times, though not as much as I craved playing my guitar or playing under the sheets with my girl. My physical performance was the best it ever was in bootcamp, even more than it is now that I can continue consuming caffeine. On the contrary, my mental performance is stronger with the aid of caffeine in small doses.
congrats brother. enjoy the ride. makes awesome memories while you are in. it goes by fast. interesting perspective about small doses. I know now i can load it up and it does nothing. i might need to take a caffeine fast.

Are you going to finish the rest of the video in a part 2?
Ahhh, what a experience. Did Paris island in 99 at 20 years old. Knew it was a game, be loud and move quickly even if didn’t know what you were doing. While I don’t think young people are as ready for military life as previous generations, I’m still grateful that there are those that make that commitment to our country. Thank you all previous and current service members.
I didnt really have any withdrawal symptoms but i did feel tired for sure, but thats normal, umm i honestly dont regret joining, i feel proud of my decision and watching your videos i greatly appreciate the tips where its the socks and how to take care of your feet, i joined infantry in the army and i feel like i changed myself for the better, keep these great videos coming!

I'm really impressed (and barely noticed) that that chief was able to be so commanding and assertive without using a single curse word. That is a rare skill.
Trust me, when the cameras are off The Lizard King is a whole different man. I have mad respect for HMC and he was a beast of an RDC.
I have always described boot as the most invaluable training I ever received and the one thing in my life I would never want to repeat!
In the German Navy we knew when its getting "dangerous"... That was when the Instructors went quiet 😉😅
LoL same for us. If they got quiet we knew we were in for hell
After watching the first guy get smoked for saying "yea" or rolling there eyes... I made sure never to make those mistakes. When ever I was addressed my eyes where wide open, and I SOUND OFF AT THE TOO OF MY 17YR OLD SCREECHING VOICE... BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE
The biggest thing in Bootcamp was keeping your ears open. Your success or failure was based on following instructions.
There were withdrawals of everything in boot camp. We had coffee in the galley but I don’t know if it was decaf or not. Attrition is around 20%. I spent 4 months there due to be rolled back for injury. Unlike the Marines and Army you don’t recycle to day you go back to where you were.
This Chief is Rock solid, wise , and professional! He wants the best for his trainees, he want them to be competent, to survive adversity! He want us to sleep safely knowing America’s security is in good hand, even long after he retires! Respectable individual!
My problem was when stood at attention and being directly addressed , my head would nod unconsciously. I wasn't even aware I was doing it.
I thought the same damn thing when I saw the eyes rolling
Most of my Family. . Is in the military this gives me some views how there have been doing before. . Most amazing people I have high respect for all of this young generation stepping up for this kind life.. .😇😇😇
What I remember is they just kept you sooo tired. The galley was probably a mile up the road where the bubble heads had their barracks so marching there 3 times a day, plus training and a watch often after taps. I hear they put galleys in the barracks now, but that did prepare me for 20 years of sleep deprivation.
"Maybe I wasn't loud enough, Maybe you couldn't understand me. FIX YOURSELF NOW"
RESPOND!
Yelling can help expedite training and getting your point across quicker. But I always felt if you can't handle being yelled at, you don't need to be in any branch.
my curiosity is what percentage of the population can not deal with being yelled at because you hear many concerns about the military and one of them is always will there be a lot of yelling. but i get it no one likes getting yelled at.
@@cosmeticscameo8277 well it makes no sence like... I’ve been in for eight years in the army and I take it like i made a mistake and it’s to correct me, have the parents of the complainers never yelled at them? Have they never been disciplined?!
The 2 things I most remember from boot are ALWAYS being tired and my feet constantly hurting. Something they never tell you is that you will be standing stock still at attention for hours sometimes. Can't move, can't shift your weight, brand new hard as hell boots you haven't broken in yet. I used to be grateful just to be able to move even if it was just drilling.
My division in 2009 started with 88 people and ended with 56. The swim qual sent at least 20 back, and the rest were lost to injury or disciplinary issues.
