We got the call “Im a sailor” from our grand daughter this week. Very proud of her

[richardrobertson]

In my career I’ve been to navy boot, army basic, and navy officer development school and I will tell ya she is absolutely on point. Also - the fastest way to get out of boot is to graduate. Never quit.

[dominicdenileon]

Leaving in a week, couldnt be more nervous than I am right now! Watching all navy related videos right now

[TheDevilsquid]

Everything she says is so true. If you’re serious about getting into the Navy you’ll definitely be out running and doing push-ups to be ready for bootcamp. This is coming from a guy who never played a sport through high school and ended up as a Fleet Marine Force Corpsman( Hospital Corpsman) in 2001. If you can’t make it through Navy Boot Camp trust me people will clown on you for life!

[olymsailor]

I remember one thing for sure...Nomatter how hard it was, I would never go back home and face my parents and tell them I have failed or quit. No way! It's what helped me pull through.

[peterjp]

If you're ready to quit in boot camp, do what i did. Quit tomorrow! I owe it to my procrastinating ways that I made it all the way, and now I'm past my 20.

[thejdgoodwin]

To be honest, I don't remember it being all that difficult. I had friends who went on to SEAL training afterwards, and the stories I heard put boot camp into perspective. 

I was 18 when I went in 1979. As I recall, I kept in my mind that boot camp was only 8 weeks long. My father and his contemporaries toughed it out through the entirety of World War II. If they could do that, then I sure as hell was going to finish Navy boot camp.

You are correct. The first 3 weeks is where they really try to disorient the recruits to test them under pressure. Also, you're correct in that Navy boot camp is far more of a mental challenge than a physical one.

[MrSivram]

Learning how to swim and passing the swim test was my toughest obstacle in boot camp. There were days I felt like giving up. I pass some how.

[Bettygdl]

Your video made my day. My 19 year old daughter. Arrived yesterday to Great Lakes. I miss her so much and just searching content that makes me feel better. I believe so much on her and I can’t wait for graduation and hear all her stories and huge her 💖

[stephaniedelaguila]

I leave in a week and have watched many videos about the navy but this one has been the most helpful. I am super nervous and excited but know that this is temporary and it’s the RDC’s jobs to make you feel like shit. Because the navy doesn’t want anyone who isn’t 100% committed or can’t handle stressful situations.

thank you for all info I really needed to hear this and appreciate it very much ❤

I just got home from boot camp on the 26…I was separated unfortunately. My separation was due to leg injuries I made as far 3-2 and I was dealing with the leg pain the entire time and was still pushing through but someone from another div called me out and told the chief and I was pretty much forced to go to medical. Which honestly was good thing because my legs would broken later if I didn’t go to medical. So when preparing for bootcamp do these things(my div had an issue with these the most and so did a lot of other divs)
LEARN RANK AND RECOGNITION, and GENERAL ORDERS before going to bootcamp
Learn chain of command
Pay attention to everything your Rdc says and be careful not to fall for traps like “you guys can wake up 6am instead of 5am tomorrow” that doesn’t mean wake up at 6 that means wake up at 5 and be on the toe line at 6.
Please don’t fuck up fold and stow and bunk make up it’s honestly really ez but so many ppl can’t do it.
And the most important one, DO NOT TRY TO BE THE “class clown” and DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT TALK IN THE FUCKING GALLEY AND DONT TALK AT ALL, unless it’s evening routine or academic study.
Also test 1 is super ez don’t stress about it. Also they might ITE the whole div if only one person fucked up, me and two other ppl were the only ones that got beat once. Also don’t look at getting beat as a punishment just think of it as a good workout have a positive mentality about it Yeah it fucking sucks and air chairs and arm circles hurt like a bitch but don’t be so down when u get beat at the end of the day it’s just a really hard workout pushing u to the limit so just have a positive mentality about it honestly it’s not that hard tho only thing that really sucks is air chairs and arm circles for me at least.

You were spot on it's the mental part. My wife is in A school right now. She said the first two or 3 days she was in shock. She never heard the F word so much in her life. But whenever she wondered what she was doing. She would think of her why's, why she was there why she wanted this. She said there's an idiot in every division that makes everyone do the ITE's I believe that's what there call. Her only part that hurt for her was her feet. She said that everyone's feet hurt. Moleskin was like money there. Also if you have good running shoes bring them with you or wear them there. That's what she did. There shoes sucked. And make sure your running 2 to 3 Mile's 3 or 4 times a week before going. You'll pass. She had high passing numbers for 17 to 19 years old. And she is 35 almost 36 yrs old. Great video.

I did 10 years in the USN as a Corpsman, the last 7 years with the FMF. 83'-93'. Then I did some time in the USNR.
The advice I'd give to anyone going in would begin with "be in shape". Begin an exercise routine and stick with it. A less than perfect workout, done consistently that challenges you is better than a perfect workout done inconsistently. There are TONS of workouts for the armed forces here on YouTube. You don't even need a gym membership. You DO however need to be motivated. Everything is easier if you're in decent shape.
KNOW your general orders. Don't "sort of" know them, but KNOW them, in order, out of order, in your sleep. The things you'll have to memorize your recruiter will have. If they don't automatically give them to you, ASK for them and study them.
When you're in delayed entry, do DO NOT get in trouble with the law. One of the guys (way back when) I was in delayed entry with got caught smoking marijuana. He "had" (past tense) a guarantee for Sonar Tech (subs). That went
On your way to boot camp, watch what you say and to whom you say it. You never know who is listening. The guy on the plane sitting in front of you could be boot camp staff returning from leave. It could be an officer etc...
Boot camp can and will be boring and mundane. But the USN isn't going to let you work on a close in weapons system that might be used to defend the ship if you can't do something as simple as folding a t-shirt correctly. Baby steps....baby steps. Just DO what they ask.
Remember one thing always. YOU volunteered for this, so try hard and act like you want to be there, whether you stay in for 4 years or 30.

Im in my pre-screening process right now. Im super excited at the new opportunities that lay ahead, ive quit at alot of things and been kicked and beaten down by life. But this is a brand new chapter and i know i will not quit even in my worst moments, i will succeed.

[robstanton]

Yes, sleep deprivation is definitely a factor! I went through Great Lakes 22 years ago. I guess it hasn't changed much.

[williamcoe]

New subscriber..I was a recruiter and never lied to anybody that came into my office.she is right people, don't go out of shape because it will be hard for you...when I went I didn't know how to swim.we only had to float for 5 min. To pass..so that day I was asmo, almost, and I passed later that day and returned to my original co...people would steal dirty underwear there.disgusting so that motivated me real quick.back then basic was like boy scout camp...you would never want to tell anyone you failed.good luck to all you new recruits.

There is also a couple more things.chicago wasn't as deadly a place as it is today.the stench that came out of the sewers we got to smell marching to the chow hall.going through the gate for the first time.watching my hair, which was shoulder length at the time...fall on the floor.and also last year I survived an aneurysm and spent a week in the VA hospital and being a decorated veteran they took really good care of me.i didn't get much sleep because they were checking my vital several times an hour.dont believe everything you hear.i worked on the flight deck of the USS Saratoga only depending on a inflatable vest if I got blown over the side by a jets exhaust.and the pilots never looked down at us.they were always respectful and talked to us like human beings.and always remember your shipmates, they are your friends for life.i speak to many of them on a weekly basis to see how they are doing.i miss them all.i remember go through the straits of Gibraltar and a freighter collided with us.the first thing they did was check on me before they went to there battle stations.and the best is my high school guidance counselor would always call me to his office because I would always cut class
See thing, I didn't even think about not knowing how to swim before I left. I just know I didn't like the way they yelled at us.i jumped off that platform and tied my Dungeness into a life preserver like a hit my knee on the bottom also so I marched in the back and my company commander called me hop along the rest of basic
His name was ET1 Eddie j Kettner Jr. The nicest guy in the world.never raised his voice once...I even still remember the 11 general orders of the sentry..amazing isn't it?

[DrGreg]

You should be a recruiter! lol
Another great and informative video Shae! As a Marine I always thought we were THE ONLY BA boot camp training but I realized ALL military recruit training is challenging and exhaustive. Each branch is mission specific, thus the training reflects that mission.
I believe this video will stop a lot of new recruits from quitting when they go deep in those “Black holes” you spoke of! I wish I had some good intel before going to Parris Island but it didn’t exist! 😂
I think the Navy should sponsor you as you deliver FACTS about what really happens in the Navy!
Thanks and keep up the tremendous work!
Blessings my friend!

I agree with your points 100%. I graduated this past September and I constantly saw people throwing in the towel. (I was AROC and my voice was absolutely shredded by week 5 😂)

[SeabeeLand]

Seabee YouTuber here. Great information. The fastest way out of boot camp is to "embrace the suck" and graduate. It will become a staple of your Navy career.

[NevadaJack]

'Beat' that's a new term it was called 'mashed' when I went through. You are spot on with mental vs physical. For me it was 90% mental, 10% physical.
