Good luck to everyone shipping for boot camp make us all proud shipmates you will do great things!!

I knew my General orders and Sailors creed and RTC Maxim before I went which they noticed. Plus I was one of 10 people out of 88 that passed their first PFA.

Good post, Heidi! The first thing they teach is, "cover your own ass, FIRST". Don't worry about what the others are doing. Worry about yourself.

Just graduated, this is my top 5,got a letter of recommendation from my 2nd RDC so listen up. In no particular order 1.maintain proper Military bearing at all times 2.know what PO,Chiefs,CS look like 3.Sound Off! If you don’t want to be there don’t ship 4. Be in shape...RDCs have to pick on someone it’s going to be those individuals who can’t adjust ie: struggling to fold and stow or consistently struggling with intensive training 5. Be MOTIVATED! Fucking want to be there, the RDCs are super motivated and if you can match or surpass their energy you’ll be good to go.

I tripped out my RDC one night, I had a late night, and when they came in the next morning, he called my name as everyone else was out their rack, I sat up, looked at him and laid back down, he went “NO YOU FUCKING DIDNT” 😂🤣😂🤣, I jumped out so fast

How is it you shipped out already.right?

It’s interesting hearing your version of Bootcamp and comparing notes. I am much older than you so naturally things have changed quite a bit.

I had to do that new run test for DEPpers two days ago and we had extra time so my recruiter just had us do the whole PFT the exact way they do it in boot camp. #1 curl ups Hooya

Towards the end of boot camp (this was in 1988 in Orlando), we came up with a "Man overboard" idea. If one of the guys fouled up and got dropped while we were in formation, I would yell "MAN OVERBOARD!!" Then we would right face 45 degrees and all drop to push up position. It was a beautiful thing! First time we did it our CC (we called them Company Commanders back then) about had a heart attack. He was trying to act all mad but you could tell he was bursting with pride.

Loved the info!

This is so accurate. Another good video

LMAO the moment I saw the title, I immediately thought of shootemup89s video. I was going to point that out, but RIP! you beat me to it!

Nothing is more satisfying than scrolling down nickys videos and seeing his beautiful face in every thumbnail do you have like a folder of just like random faces then like blank pages that you put stuff on or like do you take them when youre done with the video for that authentic feel

They used to have ambulances standing by, cuz those punishment workouts were brutal. I was in a couple.

Never heard the word "drop" so many times, in an eight-week span. The group of guys I was with... they were ALL characters. Each one had their unique way of trying to do as little as humanly possible. Half the company was just your every-day, lazy, back-stabbing jerkoffs. They all acted like they were all that. I was only 18, but I knew what I was dealing with. Honestly... I don't know how they managed to graduate. Seriously... looking back, I can still say that I'm amazed they made it to the fleet.

Good informative video mate

I was in boot camp at NTC San Diego in 1979. I entered boot at 6'0" 150 lbs, and graduated weighing 165 lbs. When they gave me back my civvies it took considerable effort to pull on my Levis. I gained muscle mass. But you're right, a lot of guys who were somewhat pudgy either dropped or graduated a much thinner version of themselves.

Also for anyone who sees this and is going to boot camp soon, they will tell you not to make friends, but MAKE FRIENDS! This will save your life. Don’t sit with each other all the time and don’t talk a bunch, but make friends with the people near your rack, and talk about what’s going on at taps. You’re all on a very basic level going through the same thing, it will help you get through it.

What you're talking about is called leadership. That does get noticed quickly. People hate narcs on many levels. Take care of the situation without involving your CC.

I only remember the fifth general order after, 35 years. To quit my post only when properly relieved. The clue is in the name and wording. 5:00 quiting time. To quit my post.

That’s how it was when I was there, seriously. We would hear the door open and we were immediately up and out of our racks before they said a word. Even when the OOD would do rack checks and shit if the door opened we were up.

worst thing about waking up in bootcamp is having to make your rack etc while you gotta take that first morning piss like a race horse in a freezing cold barracks, a funny thing is when an officer from another branch walks past and you're like WTF do I call this dude, is he an officer? I understand all the other branches ranks but my brain just cannot understand enlisted Air Force ranks

The entire class room has their hands up for questions at 2:40 for the SAPR class. Fucking hilarious. Idk how many SAPR classes we got in bootcamp, too many to count.

Haha i thought I saw this title in another video !

"Imagine waking up and right away working out and then having a massive breakfast all you can eat after." Bootcamp was really easy for me actually. I have a really good memory so I learned everything the instant I read it, and my rdc's knew I was an animal when it came to working out, so IT had a counter effect. They could only punish me by putting me in isolation. AKA ships mail petty officer. good times One time when I was standing compartment watch one of my rdc's came into the compartment and was like "I'm not going to waste my time asking you anything because I know you know the answer." "Yes petty officer! Thank you petty officer!" EDIT: I was a nuke though so every other aspect of the navy was absolute hell after bootcamp. I should have prefaced with that part first. Bootcamp just SEEMED easy for me. My division had people tap because they couldn't handle it for whatever reasons they had. Totally acceptable; bootcamp will be hard for some people and easy for others, just like how being a nuke seemed easy for a lot of people but was very difficult for me. Thought it would be a good idea to point this part out.

Funny story about the razor. That's just a guy on a power trip expecting to climb to the top at the expense of others. Seen em before.. Cool video out of multiple so far. Subscribed as of now! Quick ? though, specifically about PT. I'm considering joining the Air Force branch hoping for sts. I just turned 29, I'm in decent shape. Basic ruck marching and calisthenics are not a problem, I can sprint pretty quick for an old guy but I suck at running long distances.... I can do it, i just get gassed pretty quick.. Do you have any advice on how to not feel like I'm dying other than just the usual keep at it?? I'll take that too, but anything you got like circuits, sprints or it's a waste of time is what I'm looking for. Same for anyone else that might be reading this and have something. I'm eager to hear it. Basically I just wanna know if I need to do something different. Would-Be Troll disclosure: yes I know I suck at life and will probably run myself over with my own truck before ever making it to meps. We know, we know. Just getting that out of the way.. lol Again cool vid bud. Thanks.

Even not joining is no guarantee of not getting dropped and/or smoked. A major war, WWII-scale or larger can break out any time. The Draft could be reinstated to fight said war at any time. Not likely but could happen. Then you get inducted into the military, you meet your Drill Sergeant/RDC/Drill Instructors/MTI and again, you get dropped and/or smoked. It's inevitable. Even death is no guarantee. The aforementioned Drill Sergeant/RDC/Drill Instructors/MTIs will simply perform their E4-E9 (Navy NCO grades start at E4, Petty Officer 3rd class; Air Force NCO Grades start at E5, Staff Sergeant) demonic rituals to bring you back to life and you guessed it, you're going to be dropped and/or smoked

This is generally common knowledge if you have strict but smart teachers but I cant speak for everyone

be physically ready at bootcamp only helps if you dont fuck up. my RDC would just make those people right 1000+ word essays instead if doing IT lmao

Thank you, I’m like on the border of being too overweight for my height and I definitely need to lose at least 30 lbs before I’ll even consider enlisting

We were the fittest division when I graduated. We used to laugh at the people being humiliated during smoke sessions. I even did the pride run with severe on. Fun times! If I had to do bootcamp again tomorrow I would.
