fun facts. Coast Guard has been a part of every major and multiple minor operations the US military has conducted since its inception. Including the gulf war iraqi freedom Grenada panama Vietnam Korea WWII WWI. Many of the larger cutters actually deploy abroad all the time to the pacific the Carribean and hell sometimes rarely even as far as the black sea. Also with the icebreakers, as hopefully more are coming into service in 3026, allow coasties a chance to see Arctic and Antarctic areas including Iceland New Zealand and Australia. Its a very broad experience because the coast guard has so many jobs to do. Hell back in the 1870s when it was the revenue cutter service a revenue cutter service officer took command of an army company for a battle that lasted a week or so in Washington state. With the coast guard you never know what's going to happen. And hopefully i can experience it myself real soon! As for your question about rifles. Coast Guard uses their rifles all time for law enforcement operations. All coasties trained with and are certified with their service rifle and pistol at basic and then bi-yearly or something when part of boarding teams at small boat stations. And many are also qualified with a variety of machine guns shotguns and even grenades.
All true. I did a 3 month deployment on the Cutter Rush. All of the medium and high endurance cutters do 2-3 month deployments. Even small cutters do multi-day patrols.
I like your perspective on people's motives when they join the military. We all had our own reasons - some self-preserving, some pragmatic. We are more complex than we realize.
Cpl Martin, USMC 1994-1999
Thank you for your service Devil Dog
Hahahahaha seeing Reilly as a CC makes me chuckle. She was a good friend of mine on the Sherman (WHEC 720).
Being from Atlanta, I requested an east coast field med and command on my dream sheet at HM A-school. I got Camp Pendleton instead, and most of my friends from the west coast and requested a west coast command got east coast. In hindsight though I'm actually really glad I got west coast, but do think its funny almost everyone got the opposite of what they requested. Awesome video and have always been a little curious as to what coast guard training is like, definitely seems very similar to Navy boot camp. Thanks for the upload!
True. I'm from Tennessee. I requested the southeast only for them to send my tail northwest to Idaho.
Hey I’m joining soon, and I’m in Atlanta. I moved from Oregon though, and am actually hoping to go back to the west coast so I would be happy with that. With either actually. thanks for your commitment, and the comment 🤙
Current Navy 18 years so far. After the first set of orders you complete you get to request up to 5 orders with 3 cycles, but you can also be selected for needs of the Navy. Depending on your rate and the detailer they can point you towards awesome orders that haven't posted yet...
Hey just got out of basic about 3 months ago. They absolutely say “fly away from me”. The sir and ma’am in the beginning is just for the first three days during processing while the recruits start adjusting to the environment, from then on its Petty Officer ____. For the orders every company in boot camp is different how they tell the recruits, but we fill out a “dream sheet” in like week 3 to request where we want to go and then week 5 we get our orders. Loved the reaction and had a good laugh to your reactions. I would love to break down the coast guard video with you sometime
Hey Im interested in joining some time soon, Would love to talk to you about your expirience at boot camp.
@@papimurda8343 i just got out of bootcamp a week ago it’s not easy but it’s great for you i’d highly recommend it
I'll never forget the dread that filled me when I heard 'YUCK!'
@@papimurda8343 Practice doing push ups, sit ups, and holding things over your head for long periods of time. Talk to the recruiter and see what rates (jobs) there are in the coast guard, and honestly go to EVERY branch of the military and just see what they offer. Basic was the hardest thing I’ve ever done but it changed me as a person for the better and im already seeing the benefits of what actual discipline can do.
Quebec 107 1980 here. Sharpen your swimming skills. And realize that compliance is simple. If you treat it like Bill Murray in Stripes you will be reverted at least a week. Screw up really bad and you may double your time at boot before they toss you back to civilian life. Just give it your best and have good attitude and you will make it in 8 weeks if you can swim; drownproof; and do the high dive abandon ship drill.@@papimurda8343
Coast guard deploys all over the world, and actually has law enforcement capabilities in international waters that the navy does not have. Their missions are also very different. So more like the red-headed step child and not brother and sisters

In 1970 we had to tread water for an hour, at least. We got yelled at but we never yelled all the time like that. I went through my eight weeks in Alameda, California.
I got to play trombone in the training band for 8 weeks. We marched in parades on the weekend and always took first place in the parades and won loads of trophies.
We were with the honor guard which were fantastic. They tossed and flipped the rifles around like crazy. They were so impressive.
I enjoyed your video so much!
In six day's I'll be starting bootcamp and I feel excited and nervous about it!
Did u make it through?
Our old uniforms were designed by Edith Head....the working blues were freaking polyester blend. They would first tighten, then, burst into flame😂
26:44 yes that’s a huge thing in the CG “fly away”😂
Bering Sea Commercial Fishing, we get YELLED at. 😂😂😂 that's what i sign up for.
I don't know why i never thought about going to the USO lounges when I was in service vs. waking the airports...looking at the same tired magazines at the three different airports going to & from home while on leave.
Maybe you didn’t know about it? Best wishes.
When I was in navy boot camp in the mid 90s RDCs were still called company commanders not sure when they officially changed from CCs to RDCs
Thank you for your service!
@@askardc ty you as well
You are right about that. Best wishes.
6:16 my family, my parents, my boss….the yelling doesn’t affect me now though which is good 😂
"Pff should've joined the Navy" that line made me laugh.
It always amazes me when I see recruits arrive with their hair all over the place.
You're that the Coast Guard doesn't go over seas any more. DC3 Bucknell was one of the first KIA in the IRAQ conflict. No your stuff!!!!!!!!!!! The Coast Guard has been in every Conflict since 1790......
love the videos keep up the great work
Thanks, will do!
I always found it kinda strange that the Navy was the only branch that didn't have Smokey the Bear drill instructor hats. I mean, you've got the red rope which theoretically serves the same purpose but everyone just kind of associates that particular cover with being a DI of some sort, even in the civilian world.
Minutes 18-end
1) if they're on probation and mess up further, they'll be reverted 1 (or even 2 weeks) - sent to the company behind them to re-do the week and delay their graduation. 2) RAMP is a "punishment platoon" something no other branch has...the JAGs from the DoD decided that they were too much like correctional custody so recruits assigned to it should have all tha rights of receiving an Article 15 and among other things, consult with an attorney...so all DoD branches did away with it. USCG is not DoD so they still have it. Who's hard core now? 3) you pointed out the guy "quick stepping" in the hallway...that's literally what you're required to do. Be loud, be fast. 4) yes, Fly Away = get away from me. 5) Week 4, everyone fills out their "Dream Sheet" listing preferred District/Station location/Specific type of station/type of cutter or even a specific cutter. Most actually get pretty close to exactly what they want, but the needs of the CG come first...if you're at the top of the class, you may get exactly what you asked for...at the bottom and you'll get what no one else wants. End of week 5 you find out where your going. Some enlist with guaranteed district - but, you cannot get guaranteed disteict for the districts where Hawaii and Florida are located because everyone wants those. Also, in the CG you pick your rate (job) and once you go to A school (specialized school for your chosen rate) you again fill out a dream sheet but this one has a list of assignments equal to the number in the class and you rank them, ie 1 - STA Kauai, 2 - STA Key West, 3 - CGC Eagle, etc. They then assign based on class rank...1st in class will get their 1st choice, 2nd in class will get their highest ranking choice among those still available, etc. Different people have different reasons for where they pick, some want Alaska, some Guam, some Oklahoma...so rankings from one person to the next can be wildly different and most get one of their top 3 picks.
I was USCG 1996-2017, E-6 ET1. The uniforms were rather bad until about 2004 when they instituted the ODU or Operational Dress Uniform. The original ODU was tucked in, but then moved to untucked about 2008. The Original uniform was rather cheap and looked like Dickies you could buy off the shelf, we even called them “Gas Station Attendant Uniforms”, when the ODU was introduced we actually looked like the military branch we were supposed to be.
I’m going as an ET now, any advice for the job? And any recommendations for where to go after A School?
@@jonathan169835 Just know that the higher your scores in "A" school are, the better your options will be, much like your ASVAB score qualified you for ET school. I recommend, do your best, have more options, like the option of more school.
“There’s better ways to get out the navy like retiring” 😂😂
I throughly enjoyed your commentary and input to the video. As an active duty member myself who graduated in July of 2022 I will say this video is spot on
I have sickle cell, I was instructed to wear a black bracelet on my wrist at all times that signified that I had sickle cell.
The water bottles were definitely heavier than expected that’s forsure. But at the end of the day. Coast Guard boot camp is what you make of it. I went through the wringer as I went sent to RAMP, made it back to company and ultimately rephased. But it all worked out for me!
I graduated in 2010 in Yankee 182... It was alot different back then your lucky
Back in the early 90s we did call CCs now RDCs sir the entirety of the time at RTC. They have changed it since then.
Never heard anyone say fly little blue bird except during boot
At 14 minutes in, you stated the Coast Guard was born from the Navy, which is not true. It was born as the Revenue Cutter Service in 1790 and they and the U.S. Life Saving Service merged in 1915 to form the modern day U.S. Coast Guard. When I was in USCG boot camp in 1995 we had to call all Petty Officers (NCO's) by their name. Also, I believe they're only saying "Sir or ma'am" in this video in the first couple of days in boot camp while the recruits are in receiving company. Once they get their Company Commanders they all are addressed as "Petty Officer XXX or Chief XXX".
When I went through in 1989 anything with a red rope or a gold rope was Sir or Ma'am.
They only make them say sir and maam for the first week of boot camp until they understand military etiquette. After week 1, its rank and name. We were constantly berated during chow, chow was one of the worst times and you better know your general orders. Recruits also get reverted to an earlier week, the red belt is new to me.
reverted for not knowin general orders ass soon as they get there? or by that first week of them there at the end of the week? i leave sunday i don’t know them well
Yep. I can here to comment the same thing.
Weak sauce
Probably not the vid to ask this but it's whatever lol. So I ship on Feb 6 next year under SECF the problem with this is I'm from Texas and basic is in Chicago... in the winter. How much does the cold/winter effect recruits? (Also love your videos can't wait to be apart of the team)
I went there during that time of year in 2002 and I came from Florida, I remember getting a cold for a couple days but that's about it, you'll be PTing indoors and you'll be bundled up quite a bit although it can be a bit of a challenge trying to march on an icy terrain
It doesn't impact you much. The most cold you'll experience is from marching place to place. Everything is indoors. Prepare to value your sleep and focus on exercise and getting fit. Make sure you can swim.
When you get out and go to sub school, FOCUS on getting high grades so that you can have a better chance of getting stationed somewhere decent (anywhere but Virginia)
Your rating will show up on your orders before you get there. Hopefully you score sonar tech or fire control technician. Do not waste your time in the "silver dolphins". Go Quarterdeck. A-school is the easiest time in your career and you should make the most of it.
The sub force is REALLY HARD if you have the wrong mindset. Give it your all.
I'm curious. What's wrong with Virginia? I'd imagine you'd be on the coast & would have a descent time near or on the beach.
Currently CG company commanders are down at Paris island teaching Marine DI’s some of their techniques for a program called RAMP.
really need to fix the audio on this, the voice over is way louder than the audio in the footage
For the complete version with nothing cut out search "what it takes to survive coast guard boot camp".
I tagged the video used in the comment section, is what you are talking about a longer version?
For the beginning question our boot camp was designed from marine boot camp thus the rifles aka pieces
I had a friend who recently retired from the Coast Guard and he loved it, always stationed somewhere nice that had beaches and nice weather (which to me would be a huge pro for joining the Coast Guard, unless you're stationed in Alaska or somewhere up north in the winter time). I will say the RDC's are definitely a little more hardcore on the recruits here than what I remember from the Navy, like I don't recall being quizzed on the chow line before I sat down to eat, which I think would be a good idea, keep recruits on their toes, so I daresay they're even tougher than the Navy boot camp. The only thing I didn't get was the "Ramp" stomping thing unless they want recruits to go crazy or something, doesn't look intense at all certainly not like the Roman chair like the one recruit did, also the way they sound off is just hilarious I can't understand what they were saying, but overall very impressed with their boot camp and their uniforms as you said look sharp and very squared away.
Their dress uniforms don’t make them look as though they’re about to break out into a musical number
@@whenhen I hated wearing the dress uniforms while I was in the Navy, (or cracker jack uniforms as they used to call the blues)
There is much more that happens in ramp they just don't show it on video
@@whenhen😆
RAMP isn’t just stomping. It’s a roughly 3 day to one-week period where you are separated from your company and are constantly hounded by company commanders in your face at all times. You cannot walk anywhere around the regiment without shouting “RAMP” on repeat, and you are forced to push every 20 meters you travel.
You also have to sweat in the form of carrying weighed objects around the regiment, including a life boat with other RAMP recruits.
I love when NON-CG military try and talk about the Coast Guard because really, they are as clueless as your average non-military citizen. So, some corrections (minutes 1-8)...1) USGB does deploy, although shorter than the Navy (60-90 days at the most, usually), they go all the way west to Japan and south to Antarctica. 2) they have participated in every major war since like WWI (or even earlier?) - in wartime they transfer to DoD and become a part of the Navy and support alongside the Navy. At Normandy, guess who was driving the boats? It wasn't the Navy. 3) yes, CG ODUs are fire-resistant (which has led to problems lately since one of the chemicals was found to be harmful to the environment and finding a replacement has caused shortages). 4) my son graduates bootcamp next week and yes, they still train with rifles - unlike the Navy, once they reach E4 they are Federal Law Enforcement Officers...they board vessels and take drug runners, illiegal migrants, etc in to custody...they don't always want to comply. In boot camp they have firerms training and marksmanship awards. 5) why would someone join the Navy and soend their whole enlistment just training to do a job instead of the CG where you are literally saving lives daily? 🤣...you should have joined the USCG. 6) yes, this is a REAL branch of the US military and gets ALL the game benefits (including post-9/11 GI bill) as every other branch). 7) yelling at USCG bootcamp has a purpose - it's not "just to get yelled at" - emergencies don't happen in calm, quiet seas...emergencies happen in terrible weather and the only way to hear each other is to yell...loud...which is why USCG recruits typically lose their voices by week 5. Engine rooms are loud and if there isna fire, you MUST YELL to hear and be heard. So you may never hear yelling again in the Navy after boot, but if you work at all on a boat in the USCG, you WILL hear yelling when you haven't done anything wrong. 8) USCG handles "life and death situations" EVERY DAY...no other branch does...but, that's why other branches don't have the same enlistment qualifications as the USCG.
Considering that a large percentage of the coast guard needs to do maritime enforcement, potentially against cartel controlled vessels, the use of personal rifles makes sense. Many of them need to directly board potentially criminal boats so I’d imagine there’s occasionally a need for something heavier duty than a 9mm. During basic they do shoot a pistol. Keep in mind that the vast majority of enlisted active duty come in as non-rates (technically the same concept as PACT but in practice different) so it’s not as though they can just say all maritime law enforcement issues are being handled exclusively by someone who went to school specifically for that while everyone else ducks
Also from what I’ve read (I was debating the navy vs USCG for a while) the coast guard has the highest rate of not graduating boot camp on time. They call it being reverted which is their equivalent to asmoed. I’m not sure if the USCG would want to highlight this aspect of boot camp for potential recruits which may be why it’s not discussed in the video.
Thank you for the insight! Hopefully it helps others too
I wonder if any of these recruits ever lose their voice from doing all this yelling while in boot camp.
oh yeah they do i lost mine a couple times through bootcamp it’s bad lol
@@adambomb405 I’m not surprised on that. The next question once the RDC loses their voice how do they train recruits?
@@tbusman1 in cc basic training they’re actually taught to use different voices and scream from there stomach and not there throat also they aren’t really required to scream one of my assistant ccs never yelled unless there was a recruit that was doing something really bad
40k, we are smaller than the NYPD
We do deploy bud 😂were over protecting navy ships in the middle east and im surprised when i was active it was 1.5 mile run in 11:51 . The military went soft. And im pretty sure the coast guard was around before the navy with the revenue cutter service. Ever wanna talk hit me up
It’s 12:51 still the standard mentioned in the video isn’t the grad requirement but the forming standard
this is a great workout motivator lol
28:12 We just gonna ignore that guys name is "PeaPea?"
Pronounced pay-a pay-a
I disagree with that not getting a legitimate job that while AWOL/UA. I didn't know of employers that Did not even call the cops for that one.
Failure to complete boot camp can result in a less than honorable discharge, being a general or dishonorable discharge.
An honorable discharge from the military can put you a head above other candidate for a civilian job position.
And also, a less than honorable discharge can eliminate the possibility of joining another branch of the military.
@@snapoffmonkeybranch1242 I misspoke I did know of a legitimate employer that hired people that were awol which i like to know how in the hell they got away with it without facing charges of any kind
@@snapoffmonkeybranch1242 If you don’t do something wrong in boot I can see how you can get a bad discharge.
@@snapoffmonkeybranch1242 Not true I had a learning problem while in boot camp was let go with Honorable Dischage never went to captain mask or court martial also never went to Brig. Best wishes.
I wish I had instructor hottie when I was in boot camp. I’d have happy dreams every night!
CCs don't talk about blue birds. That was her thing. She's good though. Retired Senior Chief here.
I heard that CG boot camp way back was run by USMC DIs. Any truth to that? Might explain some of the intensity, this is quite a bit louder than when I went through Army basic.
My man just said the coast guard and navy don’t deploy 😂 just like any branch it depends on what your job is.
Do you respond I would love to ask a rdc a question I just graduated boot camp in november

So I’m an instructor at the firefighting schoolhouse in Norfolk. Coast Guardsmen come through and do our firefighting courses and our gas free school. This one time I was teaching a lesson from our general shipboard firefighting course, and there were a bunch of Coast Guardsmen in the class. I introduced myself, and I always end my introduction by asking “Are there any questions so far?” This one Coastie, who I assume was just trying to be a smart a**, raised his hand and asked “Why did you join the Navy?” Don’t ask where this came from or what I was thinking, but without skipping a beat or hesitating, i replied by saying “I wanted to be in the real military”.
Sounds more like you had a 10 AFQT
@@AC-vt4iw I’m sorry. I don’t know what that means.
Why does the Coast Guard say "Fly away" instead of "Sail away"? Then a recruit could sing "Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with meeeee" as they leave 😀
Well, that's one reason. And flying away is faster than sailing away.
