    I'm shipping out to boot camp on July 25th! I'm scared and excited all at once, as a 31 yr old who was not very physically active over the last 10 years I have been striving to get myself prepared for this. Love the video showing what to expect and what goes on in those 2 weeks that were added.

      I needed to see your comment brother. I’m about to be 30 and in your same boat. I’m starting an intense regimen to quit smoking, get back in shape, and be ready for RTC. I’m tired of living my life waiting for something useful to happen. Hope to join you as a fellow sailor!!

    Ah man, I remember battle stations, that was fun but exhausting as hell, I remember the morning when we were done with battle stations, we were in the galley and they were feeding us a big breakfast like pancakes and sausage and eggs, a lot of us were barely holding on and our Chief pops in and says "Hoo-yah" and we all let out the biggest and loudest "Hoo-yah" that the entire galley could hear and that energy we had when we getting ready for battle stations was right back, it was like we were ready to run through a brick wall

    I went through boot camp way back in 2001. Battlestations was very different. Same rules applied but we had to run throughout the whole base for each evolution. And didn’t do everything in order so we went to Marlinspike on one part of the base to run to FF then to Building 1 for Mass Casualty and Flooding then run to the longest part to the pool for abandoned ship. We were dead tired. But it made that one time allowed to talk in the mess hall for brunch so much better. And the RDCs made their rounds to catch sailors trying to nap. Good times.

    Battlestations was a blast. The team I was in worked really well together. The joy of "making it" was squashed when we got back to the compartment and were beat though. The only things I can remember from the day after are chow and that beating.

    hey, love your videos and very informative as well. Tbh apart from one distant contact in the navy, this is all the information i’ll been relying on to know the ins and outs of the navy. i have a few questions but the main one for me is, once i go to my school, when will i be able to visit home. I get very home sick and my family is my life line, i just don’t want to stay too far but i know it just depends on what i wanna do. I’m stuck on either master-at-arms or a navy air traffic controller.

      Noooo, He said they do not scream at you on the ships(Out in the fleet) during working parties. He is right for the most part. Occasionally, there will be a over zealous Boatswain mate first class who will try to energize the group but as long as everyone works together that is a rare occurrence.

      I wouldn't say delay, but its easy when I went through bootcamp a couple weeks ago nobody failed the naturalization test in fact they all said it was super easy, now not everyone takes the test in bootcamp, so he will find out from his RDC's but don't be scared he will pass first try he has a family behind him and the navy provides lots of studying opportunities to recruits for it. good luck to him.

      Im currently at Aircrew school. Assuming all goes well, you are going to see yourself come to pensacola after bootcamp, wait a couple weeks in a "backlog," then go into class (class being 4 weeks of training). This class is called NACCS (Naval Aircrew Candidate School). Class includes the first week of going to the schoolhouse to clean, the second week is swim week (the hardest week), the third and fourth are just classroom days where you do PT as well. After you get through class you will be assigned one of three rates (AWO / AWF / AWS(DRY)), then you should go straight to A School backlog for a WHILE. A school will be (AWO - 10 weeks / AWF - 7 weeks / AWS(DRY) - 6 weeks). After completing A School, you will go to SERE, which is... well... just look it up. After all of that, you will be going straight to your FRS (Fleet Replacement Squadron) for a certain amount of time, depending on your rate, ideally it should take 25-30 weeks. Then, once you are done with FRS, you will go into the fleet. Aircrew is one hell of a job.
      PS, if you are Aircrew, but going for AirRescue (rescue swimmers), before going to NACCS you will go through ARRS (Aviation Rescue Swimmer School) for 2 weeks of prep and then 6 weeks of actual class. The two rates you will get out of NACCS would be AWR or AWS(WET). Dry (Dry Aircrewman) / Wet (Rescue Swimmer/Wet Aircrewman).
