How to dominate boot camp: *schlurp* *schlurp*

For all you kids asking boot camp questions, show up and be ready to follow instructions to the T.. boot camp is simple, the fleet is where things get difficult... boot camp is where you have everything done for you, your told when your getting up, and even have someone get you up, chow is already cooked and ready for you to come eat, school is pre planned and even your free time is already planned out for you...you don't have to do much of anything except learn how to follow directions without being told twice... boot camp isn't scary...all your doing is learning the basics of walking and talking like a sailor... when you get from boot camp and A school then you have a general idea of what you are supposed to be doing and how to act when you show up at your command...just pay attention and follow directions and youll be invisible..don't listen to what I said and you'll stick out and RDC's will motivate you to follow instructions...have a great time and great lakes..

When I went to boot camp in 87. San Diego the company commander made me the gear locker po. I handed out cleaning supplies and never had to clean anything except the gear locker.😂

im not in the military but i want to one day enlist but i feel like one thing you could've talked about(only cause i see it alot from other videos an well also military motivation quotes) was not giving up my cousin is in the navy atm an he remembered the only thing that was really keeping him going was he had learned to never give up an keep pushing forward he also dealt with his father always being strict an stern so he said that actually also helped him understand why cause he had to change his mindset from a civilian life to the military like life an i think im going to use that type of motivation to keep me going when/if i decide to join when im done with school

Good Information 🖤👍🏾

Love when austen slurps drinks his drink u make me laugh every time i hear this story

Hi Austen. Question for you....my son is 22 and struggling to decide what he wants to do with his future. He is working in a factory currently and knows he does not want to do that for the rest of his life. I've watched several of your videos and you said to decide what you want to do as a job before you talk to a recruiter. Where can he find descriptions of naval jobs so he can decide before a recruiter decides for him or pushes him in the direction they want him to go? He has not gone to talk to them yet but he seems to be leaning toward the Navy. He has been taking practice ASVAB questions to prepare. Your videos are very informative and I appreciate any info you can give me.

I recommend getting in shape a few months before you move to RTC. I went there in such good shape that physically it was to easy.

Man things have changed from when I was in Bootcamp in 1989!

i got here from watching stolen valor videos and here is my 2 cents on basic training from an army perspective. he is 100% correct about the "do what you are told part". i do slightly disagree on the showing initiative part though. my second way to "survive" basic training would be to "blend". i would say the top 85% of our class was treated about the same, volunteering only got you more work. the bottom 15% were definitely singled out and pushed harder than the rest of us. I would also add a number 3. and that is to understand your drill sergeants. understand that their goal is to graduate as many people as possible, and work as little as possible. lol, "work as little as possible". we had all 3 of our platoons drill sergeants working 14 hours a day for the first 3 weeks, 6 days a week.

The Navy is strong in this one.
