Okay if this video is accurate then lots of shit has changed! They have racks just like the carriers I served on? What the fuck! And they have computers in the classrooms? I went to boot camp back in 2002 and it was ghetto as hell compared to the shit they are showing in this video? Must be a lie or something.
Bootcamp has sure changed since I was in. I went to bootcamp on August 20, 1997. I was in Ship 5, Division 441. Thanks Petty Officer Corbin and Petty Officer Baca!
Ha ! I thought I was in heaven when they installed bunk lockers on my ship. Before that we had these tiny square lockers. I was on a ship built in 1944.
I pushed recruits at RTC Great Lakes from Sep 84 to Jul 87. Today's RTC may as well be on a different planet. The new facility is incredible, and, while it took some time, the Navy did listen to our drop comments . It looks to me as if our new shipmates are getting training which is much more applicable to the fleet than what they got when I was yelling at them.
BTW, that new wrought iron sign above the gate to Camp Porter has a creepy "Arbeit Macht Frei" vibe to it.
my dad was a tin can sailor and so was my grandpa, i was a grunt in the army, not to sound like im startin shit but wow this is some baby girl shit. this boot really looks like a vacation.
@Mega11bravo dont be jealous!!! we all get paid the same and the Navy got it made..you guys sleep in the dirt and eat that cardboard tasting Meal REady to Eat...
Chief, how do you put in to be an RDC? A few friends of mine were wanting to be one and I honestly don't think I've seen too many AC RDC's. (Something I've been considering too)
damn! im goin to MCRD Parris Island in 2012 but this shit looks more like a 5 star hotel than a recruit depot, or station or whatever its called in the navy... still much respect to every men and women serving in the US
Good luck to all of you joining the Navy! I got out last year after 22yrs. I went to Orlando RTC. Reported for duty onboard USS Wisconsin(BB-64). She's a MUSEUM now! haha. That's how you know you're getting old!!
OMG I just remembered this chief. She chewed my ass off so bad because I was not double timing outside. Told the chief that my RDC told me not to run because I was on my way to repair my glasses.
i wish we had that much space in the racks on ships, and once you get to fleet if your part of the RHIB team you need 2nd class swim, you never swim at all (unless your deployed and do swim call shit). and VBSS team uses the shotgun . boot camp is a fucking joke
Soooo where is all the yelling, discipline, and Military standards? This video makes it seem like a vacation at a resort. BTW, That chief is hot. Is she an actor? Is the Navy playing with us? Sigh...I would like to see a full blown no shit" you are a puke" type of video.
WTF?! What the heck happened to the hangars we used to run in? The galley? The old-style buildings? That was what the recruits should experience! When I went in (div 189 1998) it felt as if I was walking into a part of history, now its all modernized and it looks like a high school :(
im leaving for boot in 20 days and i enlisted as a seabee and im kinda disappointed that they dont have the M16 for small arms training. plus i got e-3 but it doesnt mean anything at boot camp except the extra stripes and pay. suposly im gonna be treated worse if mess up cause i should know what im doing
In a video I saw at my recruiters office, they showed a glimpse of battle stations. @esareteequatro I get what your saying though; if they would not have shown it I would probably be more nervous about going to RTC and I still am because what you see can be totally different from what actually goes on. I just hope I do well and try my best.
didn't we have to save a waiver to not talk about battlestations?? i like the video for giving a glimpse into the life at RTC but i would have to say that this might be a little too in depth. the whole mental hardness of bootcamp for me was not knowing what was coming, if i had seen this before i went in december i wouldn't have been as nervous or excited to go to battlestations
Ugh!!! Seeing this 6 months after boot camp makes me angry. I dont think anyone should see battlestations unless they go through it! That night is huge for recruits n its memory is ruined now that i know anyone can experience this on YOUTUBE! I went through hell for that hat, and i liked the secrecy of right of passage!
@2012rurede now here we can see where all the action would happen, but my RDC won't allow it.. and some people have a boat...well I got the USS Neversail yyyeeeeeaahhhhh boy!
Can anyone answer this question for me? Can you go to a community collage for your RN, then enter the Navy? Would you go in as a officer or have to go in enlisted?
wow the navy Has alot of nice things. The Army is pretty ghetto compared to what the Navy has. We are always training in the field and PT is done outside rain or shine.
It depends it is usually 2 months BUT you have to pass al test recuired from exercise to computer test. and battle station the most important. After that you are a US Saylor, just don get sick it is the worst thing ever.......... I recomende you that seriusly
Thank you Chief, but I think you left out medical/dental. Has the Marlinspike been removed from training with the addition of the new battle stations? I'm guessing the old chow hall has been torn down as well.
If you have that raw footage still, you should upload it! :P
Don't worry about editing, even if it's 3 hours long I'll still watch it.
I ship out in a few weeks and youtube has been a group source of material in my preperations. Along with amazondotcom. (bought a copy of the bluejacket off there)
There aren't allot of sailors where I live, being in the middle of a desert. So youtube has aloud me to listen to the words and wisdom of service men first hand.
Im thinking of enlisting so two questions would be: If I enlisted as a law enforcement officer or I think they call it an ma what would you do in that job. And also do you ride the bus to illinois or so you take a plane cause I'm in California?
@unicyclejim Your recruiter will send you to Sacramento MEPS if your close to there. You fly from Ca. to Chicago O'Hare and a bus will take you the rest of the way. The rate for military police or MP is not a rate that's easily accessible. The wait is close to a year, if not longer with the influx of recruits due to the recession. But still go for it if it works for you.
@djtechno101 navy lets you mail it home.army makes you put it in bags and put it in a closet then you get it back when you graduate.but i think the way the navy does it is better,they let ya send it home,because you wont need it,plus its too much extra baggage
i love how they left out all the BEAT sessions Basic Education And Training. this is the view they want u to have. it gives recruits a false sense of hope and makes it easier for a RDC to break them down quicker
@jutrup08 Sure I saw guys cry, big deal. They got with the program and we all helped each other along by the end of it. It would have been stupid not to. I still live by the core values.
If your thinking about joining the Navy just watch the video "Join the Navy not the Army". I went into the Navy in May and its just like the video, except there are more ladies and they are 10x hotter!
I hear ya, I have tooken the asvab twice. Once in highschool, without an opertunity to study (didn't know I was taking it) and at midnight (very sleepy) Got a 72.
Then has to retake it as meps, recruiter said I wouldn't have to so no study again. And I got bunked with a kid who kept me up all night, watching TV and what sound like dieing in his sleep....
i think theres no pass or fail. just depend on your score. if you scored low they put you in junk position. if you score high they make you make you look cute. just kidding. but u get the idea.
the clothes and hair cut are temp. cameogirl11, it's boot camp not a fashion show. once you hit the fleet you can grow you hair out and you dont wear the PT clothes to work..lol
@johnhs3SoCal dang my dad told me all about the grinder,by hearing about it from him.i was like dang,that sucks!!.ya july is the worst month to do training.i agree
Mxxgreene, Dude SHow some respect for the navy,when our corpsman like myself have been saving your asses like our own blood for 111 years now..oorah Corpsman!
Navy bootcamp isn't all that bad. I'll be honest and say that I was a little disappointed that it wasn't very challenging when it comes to workouts but other than that, I had a nice time. And besides, I could always do all of my workouts in the base :)
this looks so easy. i tried to join the navy this past summer but they wouldnt take me because i have too many tattoos so i went to the army instead. a little disapointed but i like how intense and more physical the army basic is.
Things have changed since I joined. I tell you ever since the economy went into the crapper more people join and it makes it more competitive and harder to advance. I know my rate the quotas for advancement dropped from 64% to 37%
With all these new recruits joining because of the economy it is making advancement more competitive. My quotas for my rate dropped to 39% this cycle but at least I made it.
Red Rope Run like hell! Yeah did you tell them about IMT? Did you tell them about the freedom train? I went to this bootcamp. Way back in the day 1994. Ugh...
This female Chief looks nice, but I know If I was still a recruit, she would treat me like total shit, and since when did they started wearing goggles when you swim?
No Marine can ever compare to the true warrior of Sea Air and Land, NAVY SEALs.........the skills and physical abilities are unmatched even by the Marines best.......i should Dept of the Navy i.e. Marines.
1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division, Camp Pendelton, Calif, used to be a vicious P.O.G.. and I was still getting some.. OOORAH.. SWIFT SILENT DEADLY.. YOU DONT HAVE SHIT ON THAT WITH YOUR LIL MUDSKIPPERS

I hear ya, I have tooken the asvab twice. Once in highschool, without an opertunity to study (didn't know I was taking it) and at midnight (very sleepy) Got a 72.
Then has to retake it as meps, recruiter said I wouldn't have to so no study again. And I got bunked with a kid who kept me up all night, watching TV and what sound like dieing in his sleep....
Got a 78... Moral is 55+ isn't hard.

i think theres no pass or fail. just depend on your score. if you scored low they put you in junk position. if you score high they make you make you look cute. just kidding. but u get the idea.

Navy bootcamp isn't all that bad. I'll be honest and say that I was a little disappointed that it wasn't very challenging when it comes to workouts but other than that, I had a nice time. And besides, I could always do all of my workouts in the base :)

Huh, they teach you to swim at the USS Indianapolis building. That's reassuring.
I wonder if they set sharks on you...

this looks so easy. i tried to join the navy this past summer but they wouldnt take me because i have too many tattoos so i went to the army instead. a little disapointed but i like how intense and more physical the army basic is.

Things have changed since I joined. I tell you ever since the economy went into the crapper more people join and it makes it more competitive and harder to advance. I know my rate the quotas for advancement dropped from 64% to 37%

With all these new recruits joining because of the economy it is making advancement more competitive. My quotas for my rate dropped to 39% this cycle but at least I made it.
