Click here for the BEST 8 week program to help you get ready for bootcamp! (Even if you're not military, this workout plan will get you in shape!) mayanfit.gumroad.com/l/bootcampblueprint
i ship out this weekend and i've been so nervous, but this video helped a lot! i hope i have people like you in my division who are willing to laugh about things, make the best of it and "embrace the suck" so to speak
I went to RTC in 1974 at GLAKES.... In the WINTER .... My daughters went about 40 years later. What I learned and got me through was to realize 1) I volunteered to be here, so STFU; and 2) having a hard day was out of my control -- the CC's (Company Commanders-- what we called the RDCs back then) job was to get in my face and push me and change me from a "civilianpuke" (yes.... that is one word) into a US Navy Sailor who is part of a team.... but having a bad day was up to me... my attitude and response about having a hard day. I never had a bad day in the seven years I served.... lots of hard days, but never a bad day. I taught my girls this approach and told them my Navy stories long before they ever even thought about going in. And when they left for RTC (they went a year apart) I reminded them of this. They used it.. and even wrote to tell me that they were sharing the advice with their shipmates. They both came out of bootcamp as E-3's.
Both your daughters joined?! That’s amazing. What a story thank you for sharing that. Exactly! We signed up for the challenge. The Navy has been a great decision for me too. Completely changed my life. I wanted to travel & boy let me tell you, I have definitely traveled
I was in bootcamp but ended up getting separated for mental health reasons. Trust me it is good to talk to somebody if you are having suicidal or self harm thoughts. Please do talk to somebody. But the process of separation is just as bad as bootcamp (imo) but for different reasons. So don’t use that as an escape to try and get out. Unless it really wouldn’t be good for you to stay in. So to anybody who is shipping out, please stay strong and “embrace the suck” it won’t be easy but I have no doubt that all of you can handle it and graduate!
Omg I loved this! I was so blessed to be in boot camp with you! You were such a positive and helpful person to be around. And it made me cry when your mom sent me a letter and some motivational quotes.
Lady!! Long time no talk! I still think about you girls in bootcamp. We struggled for sure and I’m thankful for you too. We had a fun little crew in the corner 😂
I think about you guys too! We definitely had a great crew in the corner. All of our personalities meshed perfectly, God knew exactly what he was doing!
@@ShaeTaylorLife I’m doing great! Will be moved out of my parents sometime next year and will be living with my boyfriend in Arizona. And will also be getting my realtors license! How are you?!
Just graduated boot camp two days ago, 22Oct21, honestly guys, boot camp isn't that bad, make sure to come to boot camp with a healthy attitude, some days will be longer than others, they WILL yell at you, so be prepared for that, make new friends, study, and just follow instructions the first time, and you'll be squared away right then and there. Also, be prepared to laugh, like a lot, my chief was funny as hell, called us ass clowns all the time, like honestly, don't worry about the punishments, it's just exercise, come on, if you can't even do a good push up, you don't deserve the free benefits, easy as hell
Never went to Navy Boot Camp. I was prior service (Army) so I went to OSVET (Other Service Veteran) school (3 weeks) at Great Lakes. The real Navy begins when you get to your first ship.
@@wilfrieddake6128 we all felt that way. Not going to lie, the first 3 weeks are straight up not a good time. But, you find the fun moments. Just stick with it. Be encouraging to those around you. Make sure your family has your address. And it will be over before you know it
So looked forward to this! I watched the first part which was great! Tbh I used to laugh when certain people got beat in my division because they were that dumb! 😂 Also being the shortest person in my division made it impossible to stay under the radar since I was always up front!
Yeah, I was one of those guys that didn't know how to swim in boot. Lol. I don't remember how many times you have before you are ASMO’ed, but I had two or three slots left on the back of my hard card. Lol. Literally went twice a day for weeks before I passed.
I'm going through RDC C school right now, and we PT A LOT. They always talk about rhabdomyolysis. I'm nervous because 4 years ago, I was doing WAY too much cardio without taking breaks, and when running the PRT one day, my quads said "no more" and cramped up. Rather than being smart and stopping, I pushed it out and finished with a good time, but the cramps got so bad that I got rhabdo, and was laid up in the hospital for two days. I'm always scared it's gonna happen again.
RDC duty you are brave!! Well given the fact that you are already in the fleet they should have some sort of leniency with your history of rhabdo. Just know that if you start feeling that type away again, immediately get medical attention
@@ShaeTaylorLife yeah they will. It happened around year 12 in the navy, and I'm at 16 now. But i will never, ever push through a cramp again. Nothing is worth getting rhabdo again.
@@LordKellicos seriously I condone you for going to RTC. You’re about to change a lot of sailors lives. I have one RDC in particular That really helped me through when I thought I couldn’t make it. Just because he genuinely cared for our health and well-being
Going this Monday to pick my job. Really really hoping for HM. (HM ATF If I can swing it) may the MEPS gods be in my favor. 🙌 I’m literally not settling for any other rate. 😂😫
unfortunately if he had a ton of muscle and super fit before boot, he will most likely lose a lot of it. They only PT for about 45 mins every other day or so. They have to make it so people who are outof shape can get in shape and still pass. He will get it back once he graduates!
@@ShaeTaylorLife Yeah, he was very fit. He said he hasn't seen the sun in days and spends a surprising amount of time sitting on the floor waiting. LOL I tried to warn him. That was a couple weeks ago. He's beginning week 4 (I think) I'm hoping it's better by now.
@@ShaeTaylorLife yes that’s the plan I’m grinding hard. Is it true if you get set back in boot camp due to like your physical, your job can be taken away? Because I got the rate I want which is AM FTS
I don’t know if they will necessarily take your rate away from you, but I know that you can absolutely get setback if you do not pass the PRT. That’s why you want to set yourself up for success and train hard before Boot Camp, that way you absolutely know that you will be able to pass. People think that Boot Camp is what makes you in shape, but honestly, you want to be close to Boot Camp shape if not above that before you ship out
@@ShaeTaylorLife yeah I struggle with running 1.5 miles in 12 minutes. I weigh 145, I can burly get 1 mile under 10 minutes. What do you think can help me run faster for a longer period of time? Do you think I’ll have an issue at boot camp?
The Chief says those fake eyebrows are not USN approved! 3 things you must do 1 do as your told 2 be on time 3 keep your mouth shut I was a PT instuctor long before you two where born!
There are a numerous amount of jobs. It’s kind of one of those things that you don’t really know where you’re going to get stationed, and that it’s just the nature of the Military
I dont get the point why are people being sent to boot camp if a person don't even meet the baseline PFA in the first place? Heard cases of recruits being sent there only to figure out they fail the baseline PFA twice and then gets sent home. Waste of time and resources. Read on their official website that there are recruits that have high failure rates on the baseline PFA. My opinion, Recruits should be tested for baseline PFA first before sending them to boot camp. Recruits that fails to pass the baseline be sent to a physical conditioning program,where they have a strict diet and excercise. Once they meet all the requirements to pass,then get sent to boot camp. Far less costly to do than to send them there only to find out it was a failure.
I truly agree with this. However I think the problem is that a lot of kids do not have the knowledge or resources to get fit before Bootcamp. I absolutely think this should be a priority if we could somehow allocate resources to help kids get fit before bootcamp
@@ShaeTaylorLife I mean sad but true. A U.S. Army general complained on a video that most recruits cannot serve the military due to obesity. But these officials do nothing to solve it. I personally call some of these officials Armchair Generals. When many of these officials themselves have pot bellies... Wonderful public image! They can easily create a physical management program. The USMC has a program called PCP. (Physical Conditioning Platoon). For recruits that cannot pass the entrance test called the IST. Basically focuses on fitness and nutrition. Some stay for just a week,others stay for months for severe cases. They get feed a strict diet as well. Plus being taught nutrition facts and labels. Besides there are veterans that need extra cash,their knowledge could have build a better future for kids and even adults.I would love to particpate in such programs even if I have to pay a small fee. Creating a weight management program doesn't cost much. If every military branch just pours $5 million dollars to create this program,they save millions on other costs. To them $5 million means nothing. Less money on advertising,more on assistance. It might even help its public image.
In my opinion,is that RTC should come up with a plan in case one fails the baseline PFA. Sending recruits home costs even more money off the backs of taxpayers. Instead of the yellow Navy PT uniform give them a different PT uniform eg. Red t-shirt with an highly unique glow in the dark RTC emblem on the back with the words "Recruit" and "Physical Conditioning Program". Along with a motto, their name on one of the sleeves and a US flag on the other,also glows in the dark. Not to mention trained by former military personnel eg Navy SEALs. For their meals,they don't get to choose. The military personnel would choose for them. Once they complete the program they would come out so muscular that running 1.5 miles in under 16 mins would be so easy. So in case a recruit tries to escape,the police can easily find them. Once they are in this program,it sets a red flag to the unit commander and during reenlistment. Preventing the risk of relapse caused by old habits. Instead of PRT's once every six months it should be once every three months for high risk personnel. At least 3-5 PT mandatory sessions a week,depending on the occupation. During PT they will need to have a buddy that checks them whether the person is doing them at all. Fail to PT can result in having both of them doing hard physical work as punishment,loss of food privileges,forced to sing patriotic songs everyday,and so on. In other words don't break the rules! That way we would always have sailors in excellent condition. Our military would become even better through continuous improvement. I am emailing my suggestions to them...
I am 55 years old and was in the army when I was 17. I can still pass the military fitness test for a 18 year old. We ran 5 miles every morning in basic and did more push ups and sit ups than you can count and ran everywhere we were going every day. Better not let a drill Sargent catch you walking. When we graduated everyone had to run 25 miles full combat load out. I seen infantry for it in full MOP gear, gas masks on and all. We trained hard. The enemy has no mercy on the weak. The human mind is a most powerful thing. If you think you can you can. It has a lot to do with conditioning but more to do with heart. We had a special camp to send fat ass’s to so they could get conditioned and lose some weight if necessary. Most young men when I was growing up were in pretty good physical condition anyway. Good luck to everyone. It is a shame the military has been watered down as far as standards and conditioning.
If you want to solve the problem get rid of most of your child labor laws. Problem solved. They are not in any kind of condition because most of them sit on their butts all day playing video games and on the internet. As amazing as it sounds kids like money, learning and work. These stupid labor laws keeps all of this from happening. In the old days a young boy would go to work with his father at the garage fixing cars. Guess what? By the time the kid is 21 he is a master mechanic. Same with carpenters and plumbers, heating and air , same with the young girls.
Honestly… Not that often. I actually just started running every other day. I’m going to create a RUclips video on 30 days of running and what it does for me and how it changes my body, mindset, etc.
Don’t judge people who doesn’t know how to swim. I agree with you can learn before joining, but people like me, who came from a different and poor country, where beaches are far way, these “people” didn’t have same opportunities than you, white American girls!
@@shennelmalcolm6039 hey i did join🙂....went to bootcamp and everything i left bootcamp in August. Got separated tho but if you have questions you can link me, i went up to the last week of bootcamp.
@@ShaeTaylorLife well imma push myself through and be in a select group of people then lol. I gotta represent 🤣🤣Buuuut thank you for replying! You're legit adorable lol
@@ShaeTaylorLife army infantry osut training is 22 weeks 😅 then I did 3 eeeks of airborne school if I can do 25 weeks of training anyone can do 8 hands down

You have any tips on running? Also is there any issue or you pass the physical test with the lowest score? Like the minimum you need to do for age?
I’m a guy but boot hasn’t changed much in 50 years other than there was no way out then.
That’s nice to hear considering everyone says “when I went to bootcamp, it was way harder...” lol
Just received a letter from my son in bootcamp. He said it is not what he expected. He said he is getting out of shape, and it's frustrating.
unfortunately if he had a ton of muscle and super fit before boot, he will most likely lose a lot of it. They only PT for about 45 mins every other day or so. They have to make it so people who are outof shape can get in shape and still pass. He will get it back once he graduates!

I ship in December.. I already know it’s gonna be cold asf
Yes it is! I went in January. Honestly, with how much they make you layer your clothes, I was sweating
I ship out august 9th😬I can do 35 push-ups and I’m pushing myself to do 50 since that’s the minimal male requirement
Oh you got this! You have three weeks and I promise you that is enough time to get strength to get 50 push-ups. Just work on it every day if you can.

You’re changing eating sleeping pooping in front of everyone
@@ShaeTaylorLife I’m screaming 😅
Hahhaha
How often did you run besides for the PFA
Honestly… Not that often. I actually just started running every other day. I’m going to create a RUclips video on 30 days of running and what it does for me and how it changes my body, mindset, etc.
who’s leaving on May 31st please comment under here
Navy babes!
I ship out in 25 days, I’m kinda nervous
If you weren’t nervous, I’d be worried. That’s perfectly normal. What’s your rate?
@@ShaeTaylorLife HM
@@ShaeTaylorLife what’s yours?
Are showers really communal ???
Yup
Don’t judge people who doesn’t know how to swim. I agree with you can learn before joining, but people like me, who came from a different and poor country, where beaches are far way, these “people” didn’t have same opportunities than you, white American girls!
I truly agree and I am proud of you for getting through!
Will they allow us to take our birth control if i bring it with my prescription?
I think they do!!! Ask your recruiter but I remember girls brought theirs!
Hey, are you thinking of joining. I’m also from Jamaica & I’m enlisted leaving later down in the year.
