Navy Veteran 5 years/E3/Logistics/ESWS and EAWS/Carrier CVN/ Naval Hospital Boot Camp Tip: Before: Most important look at all the rating advancement first because it will decide on how your future in the navy will be. Get at least 50 in asvb so you will have a good rate and not just work on deck. Learn all the navy info they give you before boot camp ie: sailors creed,ranks,dates and ect. Reason: There will be a test at boot camp and if you pass or have a high score in it you will be promoted to e2. Get physical ready because with passing the pt is the other requirement to get promoted to e2. Be ready at knowing how to swim backwards and floating. Remove your wisdom teeth before going to bootcamp. Bootcamp: Leave unnecessary things, just bring important documentations, depending on the weather don’t wear excessive clothing, very important shave all your beard and moustache. Be prepared to not go to sleep for at least two days on the first week. If your confident on swimming go for it and pass it right away, but if you want your bootcamp to be easier say you don’t want to swim because you will be excuse on some of the hard activities. Extremely important that you pass all the written test to graduate on time. There will be time where you learn what’s on the test. If you want to be the aroc or ms go for it but if you want easier an easier bootcamp don’t volunteer for it. PT: Back in 14 run time for 18-21 is about 9 min. Now it has been more increase to about 20 something, not really updated to it. So pt is easier. If you want to pass don’t go hard all the way in push ups and sit-ups because pt is indoor with barely air to breathe. Swimming: If you to pass right away go ahead, but for easier just like I said tell you want to learn, to get out some hard training and easier bootcamp. On the side note you will have a lot of tries but pass it to graduate. Important tip doggie paddle on floating will be hard so just try to float for 5 minutes. Shooting: it’s either you pass or not, if you pass you will get the pistol ribbon, which I pass Pretty much all the other training and last training is easy. After bootcamp : a-c school Most important is know all what they teach because if you have the top score you will be promoted to e3 and get to choose your station. Don’t do dumb stuff or get in trouble for your life to be easy on the school and have freedom. Instead of spending a lot save as much you can, because trust me it comes handy if you do plan to stay long or not. Super shiny boot tip toe or full: lighter and steam from the iron would make it super shine and cotton not to wet. Most important if your really horny just refrain from it to stay out of trouble and be more stronger. Last but not the least the school is the last we’re you will taste a good food. Duty Station: *Most important is saving as much money as you can. Why? If you ever decide to be a civilian again you will not be in so much stress and be much prepared. *2nd most important if you have time or not get as many degrees you can even if it’s just a bachelor, because if you ever decided to get out schooling will be easier to you *3rd most important yes sometimes partying may take out some stress, but leaving the party life out and milking out what ever you can ie:education, save up money, experience and connections will give you a better life whether you choose to stay or not. Ranking: Will really depend on your rate some advance fast and some not that’s why I advice to choose your rate carefully before joining. Also very important advice on ranking your chief or officers will not really be the ones who decide’s on how far you will rank up. It’s up to you on getting the high scores to advance by knowing your rate and not playing. Pins: Most important is having a connection because it helps on how fast you get your pin. Not to brag got both of my pins in 1 month and I have a proof, just be friends with everyone. Sometimes what ever duty station you go it can become hard or easy, to be successfully attain your goals step by step and be well physically and mentally. Last advice do what ever you think is right and not by others, because not choosing your own decision will burry you deep in the ocean.
The reason why you should get your wisdom teeth remove is the surgery process and recovery time is different. In civilian the surgery would be like nothing happen but in bootcamp you will see the surgery you will fill your teeth getting pulled out and some pain because the anesthesia is limited, due to the amount of getting the surgery. The recovery time in bootcamp don’t know if change, 1 day in bed then you have to be ready to go back to chow hall the next day oh and medicine is less than civilian. Basically in civilian you could be in bed for as long as you want and better food.
Making videos is good also. With the change in the navadmin almost every year it puts a difficulty on some advice with bootcamp. The most important thing that I will advise for younger people or those getting ready for boot camp or in general is not to get jealous and save up. A lot of people get caught up on the money they save up when being in the military. Meaning ie: finally I got all these money to spent I could buy this brand new car or clothes or jewelry like what he or she has is the biggest mistake. Basically the military is one of the great ways where you can save up and build your education, don’t be lost on the big cash because like what they said not everyone can pass and be in the military.
Thank you so much for this video. I feel like running and swimming will be the most difficult for me to do. I've been tryna run 1.5 mile every other day too.
I was part of the first division quarantined back in March 26th in Great Lakes, then got quarantined again during training week 5. 8 week boot camp turned into 12 y’all had it easy.
Thanks for this. My son will be hitting his two week ROM at Ft. McCoy. I haven’t heard back from him, so I assume he’s good to go for the RTC. Thanks for your service, guys!
Thank you for this detailed video! My son just called me 3 hours ago to say he arrived at Fort McCoy for quarantine 😩 only good thing is boot camp won’t seem so bad after 2 boring ass weeks! Atleast I hope 😅 Good luck to both of you in your Navy careers!
@@Northeastken lol! Thanks for being positive (: I’m just focusing on work and graduating from college right now. Wishing Covid19 went away. Going to talk with a recruiter after I graduate this May. Fingers crossed!
Glad to see you guys made it through. I spent summer of 2018 going through RTC Great Lakes. Overall it's good to see that other than quarantine, not much of the training aspect has changed. Don't worry about the marksman ribbon. You'll have a chance to requal when you get out to a ship most likely.
@@collin833 I would take that with a grain of salt, especially with the vaccinations rolling out. I could see it being cut down to 6 weeks (counting P-days) or something like that. I haven't heard of any changes from any of the new people that got sent to me other than the quarantines, the mask policies, and having to graduate outdoors
I hated boot camp. Co. 132 May 1990. I was so happy to graduate after 8 weeks. Its best to take a leadership role or the CC's will assign you something awful.
So u only get 2 chances to pass the run ? Which is the initial one in the beginning and then the last one ??? And it’s 1.5 miles in under what 12 mins ?
Hope y'all know how many parents you got subscribing to ur channel? 👍😊 Yep, mama here too of a 23yr old son soon to be enlisting....he lives in Vista, Ca and I shared ur channel to him. No joke, I'm pleading with him to totally get in shape NOW, thanks sooo much 4 you two and other youngsters that have channels out here. It really really does help us mama's and pop's feel better about our babies enlisting👍🙏💪❤💯%!!
I appreciate it so much! I hope I just can reach out to everyone who’s questioning the military and give my best possible answers to help guide anyone towards bettering themselves.
@@YoDaH Awh!!😊❤ Thks for the response, you kids are an inspiration to me as a mother and especially during such hostile times here within our own country, you both are amazing young men and I wish nothing but the absolute best in life for you and all the next generation. Tough times require tough minds and you two are perfect examples of what we need in this world, much ✌ & ❤ to you two and ur fam😊
I got smoked because of a snitch involving the watch. The watch asked me what time it was. I just quickly pointed to the clock. Another recruit saw this and busted her rear end to tell on me. Oh yeah I got seriously smoked for that by the Senior CC of our unit. After the punishment, I asked who reported me. She told me who told on me. I told the girl off.
Initial PFA(Physical Fitness Assessment) the first test (max push-ups in 2min/ hold plank position at least 3min/ try to run 12 laps in at least 12min) The best way to keep yourself awake during battle station is to always find the way to keep yourself busy.
@@eternalfire875 stay motivated and remember why you joined. Also study the book you get so when you take your dept test at boot and pass you rank up. You can also take a lead role, I was a Yeoman. Do your job bc thats another way to rank in boot. You can finish boot as an E3 if your contract says you start as an E1. Currently in A school and its literally like college.
Yeah navy is the most lax branch as far as tattoos... all the rdcs have sleeves. As long as it’s not inappropriate or on your face (neck tattoos must be
@Elmy Morales, it depends on your Rating and if the school is backed up due to COVID and/or if a military flight is available to prevent an additional ROM (quarantine) when you get to A-School. It has been the "norm" over the past few months to stay in THU at Great Lakes waiting to leave for A-School and not fly out right away.
@@LauraZorza THU also depends on whether they're full or not. I had to stay in my compartment for about 2 weeks before I transferred to A- School. Never had the chance to go into THU.
Question: if you get held back for failing a run and wash out to the next division. Do you still have the chance to try for RPOC or will that roll be given to somebody new
You get a Holiday routine on Sundays, it's still not really time off but just a day off to do personal stuff like letters, shining, studying, etc. within your compartment.
My boyfriend left to bootcamp yesterday.. I’m confused how are we going to find out what the address is and what division he’s in to write to him? I wish they’d tell us when they leave quarantine and are actually at Great Lakes starting bootcamp
@Tayler Brioness, you will receive what they call a "Form Letter' unless he sends it to parents (only one is sent out) 3-4 weeks after he leaves, unless he does additional quarantines at Ft. McCoy.
Real talk I finished bootcamp this summer if your not already vaccinated get vaccined so u don’t have to ROM cause that easily is the hardest part and now it’s at Great Lakes so it’s worse and the food is ass and they gonna make u get vaccined anyways now but bootcamp is just little things that are annoying but looking back u make great memories good luck to anyone transitioning in
Man I just got out the Navy this past June and watching videos like this makes me wish I never got out sometimes. When I was in Bootcamp my Division was definitely a strong division.. we never got any flags😭 As far as the shower situation.. damn they must’ve changed it or my RDC’s didn’t give a fuck because our showers felt like FOREVER… (Female compartment) Other than that I know this was 9 months ago but I hope you all two are enjoying your navy career so far.
My experience: Hotel ROM, 1st div (midway ROM 4 weeks in), went back to week 2, 2nd div (another midway ROM, week 3.5 in ), back to week 2 again, 3rd div (final week), rom yet again (no I’m not joking, separation.
I went to bootcamp in 2019 and got separated. I thought about reinlisting. The physical parts where easy af. Like you actually get pretty dam buff. It was more mental mind games. They can't yell at you about personal stuff yet they do. At first you don't believe it but eventually you do start to believe it. They complain sailors don't know what to do when a ship is sinking but they have us learn useless shit like the first name of the very first submarine while the army charges at dummies with bayonets. The navy needs to get their shit straight. The push-ups are easy af yet when its hot af in the compartments no matter how many push ups you can do your slipping on your own sweat! I have slept while standing and marching! But now I'm a welder and all I have to say is fuck bootcamp. I was bottom bunk and when they yell at you tp get the f up id hit my head on the bunk! However I hate bootcamp I still love the navy. I'm biased.
So I don’t shipout till March 8th but my 21st birthday is like first or second week after quarantine. Did anyone have birthdays when you were in and what happened
For the swim test, you didn't mention anything about turning your clothes into inflatables. I would think that's the hardest part of the swim test. Do they do it?
@WanderLearn with Francis Tapon, you wear a pair of coveralls and splash the water, forcing air to inflate them, acting as a flotation device. Most Recruits struggle with the prone float.
@@LauraZorza but trying to splash water into your coveralls while you're swimming prone at the same time seems a lot more complicated than just staying prone
@@ftapon, you’re not prone while inflating the coveralls 🤣 Out of the entire Third Class swim test, the 5-minute prone float is the most challenging for Recruits.
@@LauraZorza soI'm totally confused and struggling to visualize this. Are you sitting on a raft while you splash your coveralls with water? I thought you had to splash the coveralls with water while you are swimming at the same time. There are RUclips videos that show this
Just curious, do you get any flack for these from your CoC? Have you spoken to your PAO about these? I'm wanting to do something similar but the vetting process by the PAO takes a bit of time
Hey yall, I will sign my contract this week! excited and nervous. Hey when we do our first pt, can we opt to do the bike ? Or is that only available after you fail the run? Not that I want to fail but I think I have a better chance of doing the bike over the run.
Once you’re out in the fleet you can do alternate cardio but in basic you just gotta tough out the long distance run. So yes... please please please run at least a little bit beforehand

@@YoDaH also do they get their phones back for A school?
@Tayler Brioness, you will receive what they call a "Form Letter' unless he sends it to parents (only one is sent out) 3-4 weeks after he leaves, unless he does additional quarantines at Ft. McCoy.
@@taylerbrioness519 yes, phones are returned after graduation.
This whole thing got me confused lol
Real talk I finished bootcamp this summer if your not already vaccinated get vaccined so u don’t have to ROM cause that easily is the hardest part and now it’s at Great Lakes so it’s worse and the food is ass and they gonna make u get vaccined anyways now but bootcamp is just little things that are annoying but looking back u make great memories good luck to anyone transitioning in
Did you guys join together? How do you join with a friend?
I leave April 7th for bootcamp 😭 I signed for Yeoman. Thank you for the info !
Me too. I leave Thursday for Yeoman Submarines
YN here too. May 5th
today’s the day good luck bro i leave april 18th
Shipping out August 12 as an ABH
What’s this place y’all in now it look like almost a dorm
Man I just got out the Navy this past June and watching videos like this makes me wish I never got out sometimes. When I was in Bootcamp my Division was definitely a strong division.. we never got any flags😭
As far as the shower situation.. damn they must’ve changed it or my RDC’s didn’t give a fuck because our showers felt like FOREVER… (Female compartment)
Other than that I know this was 9 months ago but I hope you all two are enjoying your navy career so far.
I went to bootcamp in 1996 we had dungaree and boondockers
Dang a 2000 bonus for passing the first or that's cool
What do you get a bonus for
@@hwatson5951 not failing the physical fitness test, the first one
How did u prepare for the asvab
No quarantine with vaccine now😌✨
Oh shit my boy got a vid up 💪🏾🖤
hooyah airchairs
My experience: Hotel ROM, 1st div (midway ROM 4 weeks in), went back to week 2, 2nd div (another midway ROM, week 3.5 in ), back to week 2 again, 3rd div (final week), rom yet again (no I’m not joking, separation.
When did you separate ?
@@wilfredocamposcastro9718 I was in seps for about 24 days and left base on oct 14
That’s crazy man I was in seps for 15 days and left September 28 . Maybe I saw you .
Is there no more quarantine fr?
do you need the covid vaccine to enlist?
Hooyah Navy !!! Be cool wherever you are brah, here in a-school
My recruiter told me boot camp is shorter because of the 2 week quarantine. so really you only spend 2 weeks training. is this true?
I went to bootcamp in 2019 and got separated. I thought about reinlisting. The physical parts where easy af. Like you actually get pretty dam buff. It was more mental mind games. They can't yell at you about personal stuff yet they do. At first you don't believe it but eventually you do start to believe it. They complain sailors don't know what to do when a ship is sinking but they have us learn useless shit like the first name of the very first submarine while the army charges at dummies with bayonets. The navy needs to get their shit straight. The push-ups are easy af yet when its hot af in the compartments no matter how many push ups you can do your slipping on your own sweat! I have slept while standing and marching! But now I'm a welder and all I have to say is fuck bootcamp. I was bottom bunk and when they yell at you tp get the f up id hit my head on the bunk! However I hate bootcamp I still love the navy. I'm biased.
Pay grade check, oh wait you have none
@@chiefchief1492 if you want to compare checks i may of got kicked out the navy but now I'm a welder making way more... ;)
So I don’t shipout till March 8th but my 21st birthday is like first or second week after quarantine. Did anyone have birthdays when you were in and what happened
I ship out March 8th also!!
Yessir 🔥🔥🔥
What were the requirements for the pfa and the actual fitness test
@Emmanuel Quintanilla, it is based off of your gender and age. How old are you?
@@LauraZorza yes it is
@@__maadeinheavenn4230 yes, what is?
@@LauraZorza the requirements for the test is based on gender and age
@@__maadeinheavenn4230 yes, I stated that in my comment 6-months ago ^^^^
Sheeeshh I’m finna be there soon.
I leave in a month. I’m not scared but any advice ?
For the swim test, you didn't mention anything about turning your clothes into inflatables.
I would think that's the hardest part of the swim test.
Do they do it?
@WanderLearn with Francis Tapon, you wear a pair of coveralls and splash the water, forcing air to inflate them, acting as a flotation device. Most Recruits struggle with the prone float.
@@LauraZorza but trying to splash water into your coveralls while you're swimming prone at the same time seems a lot more complicated than just staying prone
@@ftapon, you’re not prone while inflating the coveralls 🤣 Out of the entire Third Class swim test, the 5-minute prone float is the most challenging for Recruits.
@@LauraZorza soI'm totally confused and struggling to visualize this. Are you sitting on a raft while you splash your coveralls with water? I thought you had to splash the coveralls with water while you are swimming at the same time. There are RUclips videos that show this
@@ftapon, no, you’re not in the raft. That is the abandon ship drill. For inflating your coveralls, you are treading water while splashing the water.
Just curious, do you get any flack for these from your CoC? Have you spoken to your PAO about these? I'm wanting to do something similar but the vetting process by the PAO takes a bit of time
2 weeks quarantine but if someone test pos or u do u get extra 2 weeks
Miss u king gang gang yodah
But ngl I miss boot camp
Hey yall, I will sign my contract this week! excited and nervous. Hey when we do our first pt, can we opt to do the bike ? Or is that only available after you fail the run? Not that I want to fail but I think I have a better chance of doing the bike over the run.
The bike will not be available at all inside of bootcamp .
Once you’re out in the fleet you can do alternate cardio but in basic you just gotta tough out the long distance run. So yes... please please please run at least a little bit beforehand
@@elladnhm4324 thanks yall, I practiced it and it took 23 minutes I gotta keep at it, ship out June 2nd.
