You know I have been looking for this song for 30 f'n years....I remember seeing this first day of MTV....I gave up after people telling me that I was nuts and this didnt exist and couldnt find anything on the band back in Chicago in the 80s.Reunion!!!! Damn straight there better be a reunion....I would go.

I was a Door man at Coast to Coast the stories I could tell

[pianoman1511]

I've spent almost 30 years trying to find this song. One of the very few I still remember, or have tried to. My "bucket list" was short to begin with. SCORE! Cheers to you my friend for bringing it back. TOO cool.

[hildrethplace]

Reunion!!!! Yes! Yes! Yes!

[jammer6569]

A great song and video, not known by many people

[NascarSmarty]

this is the best band from the 80's. even though they dont make music like this anymore, this rocks!!!! My dad knew ( and still does) all of the members of the band!

Slim Man

Howard (The Monk) Zizzi

and other people

[Maroon1Mike]

Bootcamp rocked.

[blairzel]

the music was a lot better too...we've turned into moronically cheap junk.

[ArizonaDelRio]

Watching vids like this always makes me a little sad. Life was soooo uncomplicated then. Sigh.

[hildrethplace]

Best band of the 80's!!

[rachel112263]

Wow Tom. Look at all of these comments from fans who want a reunion. Did you hear that the Hammerjacks reunion at The Recher Theatre SOLD OUT!! 80s Baltimore bands are making a comeback!!!

[inkydinkydooky]

I hear there may be a reunion of the greatest rock band in the history of the world! BOOTCAMP!!!!!!!!!

[SpeibergsBarber]

Well, if you're thinking of someone who's a great sax player, sings like an angel and has an awesome Grandma then we

are thinking of the same person!

[SpeibergsBarber]

If you're who I think you are, you're pretty awesome yourself!!

[rachel112263]

When is the reunion??? I followed this band for years - went to all the local clubs. They were incredible.

[guitarguts666]

What a fukkin' diamond in the rough!!! I remember everything these guys did. I still the original EP autographed from Coast to Coast. How many of you remember that? What great times 2 be a musician in B-more. WE had it all, DC Star,Kix was "The Shooz" then, Face Dancer,Madam X,Mac,Crack the Sky even Talas called this place their 2nd home more than NY.

[19andrew80]

Don Dokken on democracy.

[mackinmn]

Classic! I've been looking for this tune ever since I first saw this video back in '81. Beginning January 1st of 2000, MTV2 was supposed to show every video MTV has ever played, but for some reason Bootcamp was excluded. I was outraged.

[Gerkinstock]

Not to mention Johnny Van Zant, The Fools, Steve Martin, The Hoovers, Sea Duce & Dirty Looks.

[mackinmn]

I don't recall seeing Johnny Van Zandt or The Fools, but I do remember a Steve Martin skit called "What I Believe" (or something like that) getting heavy rotation back in the early 80s. Did they not show that either? Too bad they skipped the Hoovers too.

[Gerkinstock]

I didn't see the MTV2 show, but VH1 Classic has long refused to play any of those videos (and yes, "What I Believe" was the Steve Martin clip). The Hoovers had a song called "Good Life," Dirty Looks had a song called "Tailing You," Johnny Van Zant had "It's You" and The Fools did a cover of "Running Scared." I don't remember the name of the Sea Duce song, though.

[mackinmn]

"And, people say I'm crazy for believing this, but I believe that robots are stealing my luggage."

- S. Martin

Classic!

[Gerkinstock]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one!

"And I believe that, if elected, Ronald Reagan will make this country what once was: an artic region, covered in ice."

Yes, true genius!

[inkydinkydooky]

The greatest rock band in the world! What the heck happened??

[clammm]

[mfuzzy]
