(old) Navy Bootcamp Video (part 2 of 2)

This video was given to me by my recruiter nearlyt 8 years ago before I went in in 2001. I don't believe this video is still being distributed, it has been replaced with a fresh, new, modern version. It is a nice accurate depiction of navy bootcamp and will give anyone a good idea of what to expect. For some of us veterans, it's nice to look back and reflect. Personally, I enjoyed Bootcamp. If given the opportunity to go back, I would go back to bootcamp in a heartbeat!

This video is from August, 2000

What a walk down memory lane.

In the old boot camp, the white hats were folded and be squared on top.

This is not old boot camp. We had no females. The baseball caps with "Navy" didn't exist. Recruits etc., etc.

This is not OLD Boot Camp. The Old Boot Camp did not have training time outs, and all the other "touchie feely" bs we have now. Then we add females to the picture, such as some of the wide asses in this video, who can't even fit through an escape scuttle, and it just gets worse. The Navy is no longer a combatant force, it's a social experiment.

To be a naval officer, a person's parent has to be a US citizen. The rule is studpid. A naval officer gets paid much higher than a naval recruit.
