so i am joining the millitary.....and im going to have to get my 4 wisdom teeth out....i just saw a operation video....im scared.....lol they better knock me the fuck out.
haha the morning after i got the peanut butter shot and got woken up, i automatically jumped down from my rack, but when i jumped my legs gave out and biffed it hard haha
@jjsmith4109 getting "beat," or "worked" means basically getting yelled at for messing up while doing push ups, 8 counts, etc... they don't and can't hit you...AND THAT APPLIES TO RECRUITS AS WELL..
I'm not worried about anything except getting my teeth taken out and getting a shot in the ass and seeing naked guys. That's not cool lol but everything else I'm cool with.
@latino919 After boot camp, depending upon the rate (job). You will attend an "A" school. This is an introductory training specifically for your rate. Upon the completion of "A" school you will most likely, (depending upon your rate), be assigned to a haze grey floating shit box. Dont pay any attention to any "wish lists" for assignment or duty stations they give you. It probably wont happen, unless you request duty in a place where noone else wants to go anyway.
Yah were gona kick that fires ass! lol. Whole thing funny as shit (despite the audio video problem), sorry about your teeth thing that must have sucked hardcore. What is the penut butter shot for? A nuke came in one day and told us to say were allergic to penasilin =D
I got a question about the Gas Chamber for Navy. I heard that if you puke in there then you have to stay in there til it's all cleaned up. Is that true?? I saw navy people puke and then walked away. lol
Next to none, you have to pass a 1.5 mile run in 12:10, and that's for alpha males... 17-21 if I remeber it right. But remember running more then that isn't really needed in the navy, but it should be a higher standard if for no other reason then just good health.
Question: Really, I heard people bringing their phones and laptops to boot camp...Can I do this? or...What CAN I bring? because I know the CAN'T list is longer..lol
The only thing I have been wondering about, not so much the physical part, simply because, hello... it's the US Navy we're talking about, but like, if you flunk a test during bootcamp as far as book work goes, I have heard they just set you back a week if you fail a test, and then they keep doing so until you pass... is this true? I simply dont want to get in there and get dishonor-discharge over something I didnt understand from the book, or does it not work that way? Please explain!?
Hey, so..my bf is leaving for bootcamp in 29 days. im freaking out!!!!!!
he has said we are going to get engaged when he gets home so im not worried about him leaving me but im worried about him being there and us not being able to talk...any advise to a future sailor's gf? please and thank you!!! :)
@xXdanielledoomXx he can write you and you can of course write him. that's the only contact you can really have in basic, but in A school cell phones are allowed and skype is awesome. so it won't be too bad. good luck!
How bad is that gas chamber? I'm real scared I'm going to die... And how bad is the jump into the deep end for swimming? I'm scared I'm going to drown...
@toriimarie, you won't drown. You will have instructors all over to save you if you do almost drown. Also, the gas chamber isn't too bad. Some folks it was worse than others.
hey man, I'm tempted to join the navy but i know basic is going to be demanding physically. Or atleast that is what the recruiter says. Anyway, how much running did you guys do? Im not worried about push ups or flutterkicks or any of that other stuff im good there. But my running is weak. If you fall out of a run, do they smoke you?
@phukhed1 hey best thing to do is start running laps now man. Plus if havent joined then dont worry about it cus IF you get in then you'll your gonna have at least 6 months anyway so dont stress
Navy bootcamp isn't shit compared to Army bootcamp. You guys do PT in a fucking gym. Idk how many times we got smoked, or as you guys call it "beat" for hours in rocks, mud, bushes, whatever. But I can vouch for the peanut butter shot, that shit sucks. I limped for days lol. I know what battle stations is also lol
dude im leaving out TOMORROW!!!! You know what if i wasnt this would be the funniest shit ive seen all day but man idk now! This "peanut butter" shot has me kinda fucked up man!
I joined the Navy in 1988 and went to boot camp at great Mistakes, IL. Joined the submarine force and served until 2008. Get your schooling (navy) completed and go to college. I cannot stress that enough, make the the military pay for your schooling while you're in. Boot camp is nothign when compared to the rest of your life. Retirement pay is great. No matter what job you do, military or civilian, you're going to be told what to do and how to do it. See the world, enjoy it, it goes fast
im joining the reserves and i'm going to bootcamp whithin 3 months. but really, i dont really want to go now.. what are the consequences of not going?
would it be best to get my dental well im home b4 i go to boot camp and do you have to be 18 to go into the navy because id like to go asap + do u no what would be the easyest way to be stationed in another country?
I got a question?... What is the difference between active and the reserves?... And I can't swim that well, will that bar me from joining the Navy?.... anyone know?.... please help!... =)
I got a question?... What is the difference between active and the reserves?... And I can't swim that well, will that bar me from joining the Navy?.... anyone know?.... please help!... =)
hey man im going to the navy i go to meps next tuesday... but hey man do u have to know how to swim cuz i dont... and i heard they just throw u in the water....
hey man, this has definitely been the best video for bc advice appreciate it alot.
but i got a question, on the fleet. Can u tell me about damage controlman, because im hearing mixed good and bad about t5hat rate, and i leave in september. i know u said your an os, but u gotta know some dcs's.
Hey everyone! So if u all have any questions about the fleet and what its like out there feel free to ask me. I really like to help all the new and young people in the Navy. I am an OS2 and have been in the Navy for 9 and a half years now and am stationed on board the newest aircraft carrier USS GEORGE H W BUSH. Ive been "around the block" a few times. Ask away!
Hi im a senior in high school I swear in at the end of dis year (Bday) and I was just wandering what are somethings I can do to prepare myself for boot camp and stuff? I have a year to prepare. Oh I'm a female. Are there many females in the Navy. What are you planning to do in the Navy?
@tylereturnity Not quite. The first step you need to take is to join the Navy active duty, which is done by going to MEPS, choosing a rate (job) and getting your Navy contract.
To get a SEAL contract you must pass a PST within your first 60 days of being in DEP.
Even though you want to be a SEAL be very careful which rate you choose at MEPS because thats the job you will be stuck with if you don't make it through BUDS... which, I'll be honest, is very likely to happen. Don't just choose BM.
@Epoq alright this is going to sound stupid and im sorry for sounding dumb but, what is MEPS and DEP, and PST is the physical test right? oh and whats BM.. again i apologize
@tylereturnity Yes: if you're really serious about being a SEAL, start working out now. Literally. Don't put it off for tomorrow, next week, month. Start jogging, work out your muscles (and eat properly, don't use roids to try to get bigger), and swim.
If you can't start working out now then chances are you don't want it badly enough, in which case I wouldn't bother. There's a lot of tough guys at BUDS that quit not 'cause they're weak but because they didn't want it enough.
@Epoq alright thanks allot for everything and im going to do what you said, im already on the football team so the main thing i need to do is swim because i already do just about all of that, except for the roids of corse
@tylereturnity Sounds good. As an added bonus, I would start memorizing the 11 general orders of the sentry. You're gonna have to know to the 11 orders (among other things) to get past boot camp and it's much easier to learn all that crap at home when you have all the time in the world. Waiting until boot camp will make things much tougher for yourself... :/
I'd also check out some of the BUDS Youtube vids around here, they'll give you a good idea of what your getting yourself into. 8)
I've been in the Navy for 2 years, and P-Days sucked pretty bad...as well as the 3 days we stayed up for the "moment of truth". Best advice I can say is, become a dental or medical yeomen, you can sneak off to the golden 13 and make phone calls at night when you go to pick up you chits....REMEMBER THIS, THAT'LL GET U PHONE CALLS HOME if your slick about it!!!!
I've never been in the NAVY, I'm just basing my opinion on what I've seen and from documentaries and from friends that went through it. I cannot honestly think how the Navy SEALs are even related to the NAVY at all.
I had a question... I'm planning on going into the navy in the next month or so, my recruiter is telling me I shouldn't say anything about the bones that I've broken...Cause it may disqualify me. Should I lie about this or just be upfront. broke both my arms, and wrist with surgery on my wrist, but everything is fine as far as working out , and does not affect me at all. Would my broken bones disqualify from joining?
same here.. how was the mile run and how much do you have to run in boot camp? how was the swim test? is the pool extremly deep? and also how many push ups did you have to do while you was there? thanks
Yea, but I hated the 4 hour JOOD watch. There was another watch that I stood too, but I don't remember the name of it. That was a pain in the ass too.
I'm am planning on joining the navy but i am real unsure about alot of things. If you could anwser any of these questions it would be real helpful. I still have all of my wisdom teeth, will they have to pull them out? If so i hope i get knocked out. Also im not a big fan of shots and i was wondering how many you have to get?
@imdjb09 The shots aren't that bad, you get two in each arm and one in you ass, also known as the peanutbutter shot. The arm shots don't hurt that much, and the PB shot isn't as bad as everyone says, it just feels like a little pinch. Nothing too it really.
@imdjb09 Regarding wisdom teeth, yes, they will almost certainly be pulled.
Regarding shots, all I can say is, A LOT. Hope you like needles because there will be plenty. If your allergic to penicillin, say so when you are asked and you'll at least get pills in place of the peanut butter shot, the mother of all shots at Boot.
@emperor0989 They're not NSUs, just SUs. E2 and E3s where collar devices and that's for the SUs only. Your ribbons and a name tag when you get too A school.
Quick question. I went to boot camp back in '07 and we were issued Service Whites, Johnny Cashes and utilities. Anyway, did they have you get up every night to iron your uniform? We always had to because the utility shirts wrinkle quick and always had to be ironed. Anyway, I know the new digi-cams dont need to be ironed and such. I'm just curious how things have changed since I went through.
but like the first hour or so youll completely drop trousers and pants and lift your t shirt and piss in a cup while a petty officer stares at your shit.
Know them, the RDCs will randomly ask you recite them whenever they feel like it, usually when you are standing compartment watch. Make sure you are familiar with the ranks too, don't be the one to call a Chief a Petty Officer. A quick tip, don't get discouraged. The Navy outside Boot Camp and "A" school is a lot more laid back, especially in the PAC fleet. And for Mikeschultz828, yes they will probably yell at you when you do the piss test, especially if you take a long time to go.
itll get you advanced while you are in boot camp and if you kow your shit youll most likely be given a leadership position like rpoc or yeoman or if you know how to sing aroc.

@Epoq oh thanks a bunch. im a senior now and im probably going to go ahead and join up, thanks for all of the info, any other advice lol?

@tylereturnity Yes: if you're really serious about being a SEAL, start working out now. Literally. Don't put it off for tomorrow, next week, month. Start jogging, work out your muscles (and eat properly, don't use roids to try to get bigger), and swim.
If you can't start working out now then chances are you don't want it badly enough, in which case I wouldn't bother. There's a lot of tough guys at BUDS that quit not 'cause they're weak but because they didn't want it enough.
Good luck. 8)

@Epoq alright thanks allot for everything and im going to do what you said, im already on the football team so the main thing i need to do is swim because i already do just about all of that, except for the roids of corse

@tylereturnity Sounds good. As an added bonus, I would start memorizing the 11 general orders of the sentry. You're gonna have to know to the 11 orders (among other things) to get past boot camp and it's much easier to learn all that crap at home when you have all the time in the world. Waiting until boot camp will make things much tougher for yourself... :/
I'd also check out some of the BUDS Youtube vids around here, they'll give you a good idea of what your getting yourself into. 8)

@Epoq I will certainly do that, thanks again!

I've been in the Navy for 2 years, and P-Days sucked pretty bad...as well as the 3 days we stayed up for the "moment of truth". Best advice I can say is, become a dental or medical yeomen, you can sneak off to the golden 13 and make phone calls at night when you go to pick up you chits....REMEMBER THIS, THAT'LL GET U PHONE CALLS HOME if your slick about it!!!!

I've never been in the NAVY, I'm just basing my opinion on what I've seen and from documentaries and from friends that went through it. I cannot honestly think how the Navy SEALs are even related to the NAVY at all.

I had a question... I'm planning on going into the navy in the next month or so, my recruiter is telling me I shouldn't say anything about the bones that I've broken...Cause it may disqualify me. Should I lie about this or just be upfront. broke both my arms, and wrist with surgery on my wrist, but everything is fine as far as working out , and does not affect me at all. Would my broken bones disqualify from joining?

Yea, but I hated the 4 hour JOOD watch. There was another watch that I stood too, but I don't remember the name of it. That was a pain in the ass too.

For all future recruits, make sure you get on as ship staff. That was awsome.
Chaz2306 1 year ago
@Chaz2306 ship staff was awesome because you got to miss out on some of the big IT sessions.
bourque129 1 year ago
@bourque129 I dunno about that, I was part of the ship staff and there were times when only the ship staff were IT'd.

I'm am planning on joining the navy but i am real unsure about alot of things. If you could anwser any of these questions it would be real helpful. I still have all of my wisdom teeth, will they have to pull them out? If so i hope i get knocked out. Also im not a big fan of shots and i was wondering how many you have to get?
imdjb09 1 year ago
@imdjb09 The shots aren't that bad, you get two in each arm and one in you ass, also known as the peanutbutter shot. The arm shots don't hurt that much, and the PB shot isn't as bad as everyone says, it just feels like a little pinch. Nothing too it really.
Chaz2306 1 year ago
@imdjb09 Regarding wisdom teeth, yes, they will almost certainly be pulled.
Regarding shots, all I can say is, A LOT. Hope you like needles because there will be plenty. If your allergic to penicillin, say so when you are asked and you'll at least get pills in place of the peanut butter shot, the mother of all shots at Boot.

I leave pretty soon. Just curious, do E3 wear any collar devices or any other buttons on the khaki NSUs?
emperor0989 1 year ago
@emperor0989 They're not NSUs, just SUs. E2 and E3s where collar devices and that's for the SUs only. Your ribbons and a name tag when you get too A school.

Quick question. I went to boot camp back in '07 and we were issued Service Whites, Johnny Cashes and utilities. Anyway, did they have you get up every night to iron your uniform? We always had to because the utility shirts wrinkle quick and always had to be ironed. Anyway, I know the new digi-cams dont need to be ironed and such. I'm just curious how things have changed since I went through.
Thanks, IT3
ScaryMonkey88 1 year ago
well IT3 the service whites, jhonny cashes and utilities are no longer unform.
now we have Digis and NSU's.
but yes we had to get up everynight for 1/2 hour to iron our shit even though they are nearl impossible to wrinkle while in boot camp.
jeremybg90 1 year ago
Gotta love the pointless shit they make you do in boot camp. I'm guessing that a lot of people didn't bother, I sure as hell wouldn't.

hey whats up bro i leave in like 25 days or soo when u take ur piss test do they talk shit to u while ur pissing is it kinda like meps
mikeschultz828 1 year ago
hahahah dont trip on thee piss test.
but like the first hour or so youll completely drop trousers and pants and lift your t shirt and piss in a cup while a petty officer stares at your shit.
jeremybg90 1 year ago
hey im gettin rede to leave quick question.....how important are the 11 general orders?
bigdawg061 1 year ago
Know them, the RDCs will randomly ask you recite them whenever they feel like it, usually when you are standing compartment watch. Make sure you are familiar with the ranks too, don't be the one to call a Chief a Petty Officer. A quick tip, don't get discouraged. The Navy outside Boot Camp and "A" school is a lot more laid back, especially in the PAC fleet. And for Mikeschultz828, yes they will probably yell at you when you do the piss test, especially if you take a long time to go.

ScaryMonkey88 1 year ago
know the dep manual ahead.
itll get you advanced while you are in boot camp and if you kow your shit youll most likely be given a leadership position like rpoc or yeoman or if you know how to sing aroc.
