To all the future sailors who have watched up until this point, I give you one word of advice: Persevere. Persevere through the beatings, through the yelling and screaming, through the confusion, through the constant scrutiny and evaluations, through everything keeping you from your final goal. To become a United States Sailor. Because let me tell you, it's worth it.

Man things have changed and it's only been a few years. Few advice for future sailors: Squeeze in some light workouts during P-Days (push ups, curl ups, jumping jacks) or else you're gonna feel like crap once the PT and PRT starts. Know the ranks, General Order, Sailor's Creed, etc before shipping out, it'll save you some hassle. Just do what you're told, show discipline, get along with your division and be on time! Snag a leadership position, you may advance rank after graduating ;)

Esca, I was 34 when I went to RTC. (bit of a midlife crisis, actually). So, I was the old man of my division (even though this one dude was 4 months older, and about 40 seconds slower than me. Lol). It was, by far, one of the hardest things I've ever done, but not fur the reasons you may think. I was in terrible shape going in to it. I literally put out my last cigarette, 10 minutes before boarding my plane to fly to Chicago. Don't worry about getting in shape, as that will take care of itself. I physically did things I never thought I would be able to do after I turned 23 or so. And, for the most part, I enjoyed about 97% of it. I'm sure you'll love it.

This was great to watch. I came here by accident looking up what the process is as my son is literally on his van ride to MEPS right now to sign up. 19 years ago this month i joined the army, My father his grandpa, spent 21 years in the army, so it was a surprise to hear he was joining the Navy, but i couldnt be prouder. I know he is watching this and will see my comments... Proud of you son.. Ill be there on graduation day..

Being a Navy veteran watching this makes me proud. Carry on fellow shipmate!! HOOYAAH!!

This is just a very little part from your Navy career guys. After the bootcamp and A school, the real challenge will begin as you are going to see what the life in the Navy will be like. You will see lots of different people in different environment as well as goodness, sadness and situations.

When i went to Great Lakes back in 1986, i told my recruiter not to send me there after SEPT(because of the weather). Back in my day, you had 3 boot camps: Great Lakes, Orlando(for females), and San Diego. I tried to go to Orlando but it was booked solid until OCT and i didnt want to go to San Diego. I told the recruiter Great lakes but it had to be right after the 4th of July(my favorite holiday). BAM!!! Great Lakes, July 10, 1986. Graduated Sept 19th. *side note* IT WAS SO DAMN HOT THAT SUMMER IT HAD TO BE ONE OF THE HOTTEST SUMMERS IN CHICAGO HISTORY...and i love the heat.

That Chief for battle stations was my first RDC two years ago. Hooyah Chief Lester!!

My capping ceremony after battle stations was special to me. My uncle was an rdc and he was pushing a different division. He put a spotlight on me in the beginning and put boot camp on hardcore mode for me. I had a lot of extra pressure on me. That night as we were marching to battle stations, he drove by to head home saying "don't fuck it up." It was a long night. At the end when we were getting our navy ball caps my 2nd rdc got to me, looked at me, looked to his left and waved someone over to me. I thought it was over and I failed battle stations. Next thing I knew my uncle was in front of me shaking my hand and saying he was proud of me. That was all it took. I cried. That moment replays in my head whenever things get hard or I don't want to continue. I still have that pressure from him to succeed. He told me something one time when I was in bootcamp. He said it never stops. You always have to study, you always have to work to be better, to improve. That has stuck with me. It will for the rest of my life.

My eight weeks went by too fast, boot camp was a great time for myself and my division. Killed it in BST-21. The bond made in Great Lakes will always last for everyone that passes through those gates. Hooyah division 006 and hooyah Navy!

I’m proud of them much respect✊🏽💕

The dude is going to the same A-School I went to in Meridian. He'll love it there, one of the most laid back A-school's in the Navy. As long as you pass your first room inspection and do good on the test, you get your green card and can wear civi's and leave base right away!

Went through Great Lakes in June, 1965 and the lessons learned there I’ve carried out through my life. The Navy is where I did my growing up.

You never do forget that first liberty call.

So I was talking/ dating someone who left to the Navy back on fall 2014 and we ended it because that person was going away for about 8 years. And I was heart broken because even though we briefly dated it was the most meaningful relationship I ever had and this video made me have A LOT more respect for this person.

That ceremony in the end gave me chills on the back just thinking how proud will someone be if he is at the ceremony

Congratulations to all of you who graduated basic training! Makes me wish I could go back. Especially the Battlestation training, that would have been great! Didn't have that back in my days at Great Lakes. Can't wait to see what JTSuits has to say about this episode 😂

Crossed twice myself in 1987 and 1989. Went through boot camp from July 10 to September 19 1986

I'm glad I'm not the only former sailor watching these videos. I served from 89-98 as a submarine Nuke RO. Very proud of my time in and my hat is off to anyone who serves in any branch of the armed services. Not going to say it was easy or that I enjoyed it most of the time...but my time in prepared me for the future far better than some of my buddies who went to college. BTW...boot camp in Orlando was WAY less intense.

Sir please do me a favor and get in contact with me. My phone number is 530 312 8600.

I got the chills and so pumped up!

I recently went through something similar but for high school students. It was like hell, but then I watched this then I realized how much more hell this is. We actually had sleep unlike them they barely had sleep. They had more pressure in fixing their seabags unlike us. We had 1 minute and 30 seconds to fix our seabag and not even everyone could finish it in that time. After the BLT I finally got my first rank up as Seaman Aprentince. Yes I know it's a low rank, but as a freshman it's pretty nice :)

To me: 7 days for boot camp #hooyaah! Congrats 🎊🎉🎈

Good luck too you guys it’s all a mental game

The week your ship is doing battle stations was something. We were the last divisions to go, so every night we'd hear these divisions tearing up the pway, yelling war cries. The night before mine went, these female divisions were screeching like banshees, kinda frightening when you hear that echo through the building.

I would enjoy seeing where they all end up. I hope for the best for all of them

WOW Battlestations looks intense. Nothing like that when I went to bootcamp a long time ago way back.

Sid Lauren Good luck. Just keep your focus. Do everything they tell you to do. That’s all they really want. All of the yelling is just hot air. It won’t hurt you. The regular navy is nothing like boot camp. You can do anything for 8 short weeks. It goes by so quickly. You’ll be fine. Good luck.

Did you make it?

Boot camp '67 - an old anchor clanker. I was in very good physical shape after bicycle racing and weight lifting. Being fit is just one less burden. Boot camp is all about "awareness of details". You learn that if you take care of the little things the big things take care of themselves. In combat or your life in general, military training is gold.
