I wore dungarees. I we felt like we were in the Navy! Utilities were dumb, but don't compare with that stupid blue Type II. Now we wear that green army shit.
I hated the dungarees at the time, but missed them after we changed to utilities. I missed the female garrison cap (piss cutter). It was easier to carry than the ball cap.
I went to Navy boot camp in May of 2000. Time flies, it's crazy! Anyhow, this video isn't exactly how it was. I think this is actually a little bit older.
Attention to detail is indeed everything. I retired from the Navy in 2000 (God, I'm old!) as a chief and I can tell you that many times during my career it was the smallest details written in the tiniest print that helped me solve the biggest problems. I just happened upon one of your videos and have now viewed many of them. It gives me great comfort to see someone helping those following after - thank you and keep up the great work.
RTC San Diego June 1988 Company 135 Division 5 They were called CC (Company Commander.) And...We addressed them as Sir, not Petty Officer. We got MASHED constantly! Boot Camp got me in the best shape of my life. My cardio was through the roof. I felt so good in body and mind. It seems like just yesterday. The Navy is in my bones!
I hated those Dungarees at the time but they were much better than those ridiculous Blueberries. The dungarees looked a lot like prison issue uniforms in many penitentiaries. At least they were traditional, not like the crap that was to follow in Obama's Navy.
I was issued the old Cotton OG107 Fatigues, Khaki class B and Green class A uniform in Army basic in 1981. C'mon Army! A White Shirt!!? What are we now, Mall Cops?
I have a hard to reconciling that "Old School" is now 2000......makes my 1987 Basic Training like "Ancient School". Enjoy being young NOW! It goes by real quick.
This was definitely prior to 2000 (someone may have said it already). The PT gear tells it all. I went through in ‘97 and we had the Navy emblem on our smurfs. Also we wore the RECRUIT cover, until after Battle Stations. Also, those are the dungarees and not the utilities.
When you mention "old school" Navy bootcamp I was thinking more in the lines of the 1980's or earlier not 2000. Silly me, but I guess it's all perspective. When I was in Great Lakes bootcamp during the late 80's it just seems like they made it harder back then, but with my daughter there now in week 3 I guess I'll find out when she graduates so we can compare notes.
I was serving my third year aboard the USS Leahy CG-16 in 1991. We were in the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm. My daughter was born while I was on shore duty, in 1992. My son was born two years after I got out of the Navy, in 1999. Wow! Talk about putting things in perspective.
Man i feel old. I remember having to wake up in the middle of the night to iron my fucking utilities lol I think they officially retired the utilities right after i got out in 2009.
This looks familiar. I went to Great Mistakes in the winter of 1994, we got MASHed at least once a week. We used to dread hearing the CC yell "Abandon Ship!". I pissed off the CC just before our PT test and I got dropped for some ridiculous amount of push-ups. Even with "rikki-counting" it still added up to a lot and my arms were like jelly afterward. I ended up failing the push up portion of the test which resulted in even more PT, lol
Mrs. Suits.... Sometimes, it can be down right painful when JT says....papapapapaapaa, while I have the headphones on. He's able to hit the high note and.... WOW! My ears! LOL!
I went to Great Mistakes back in 1985. Then, there were three bootcamps: Great Mistakes, Orlando, and San Diego. From what I heard, Orlando was the place to be - It was said to be more like a Co-ed "college" setting and there were controlled "liberties" prior to graduation. Don't know if it was B.S. or not.
I went to Orlando in 86 in June. It was hot and humid. The water tasted like eggs. And PT was definitely used as a form of punishment, I mean “motivation”.
Mike Young I had went in September of 86 to Great Lakes first time as a kid getting away from home. Company 340. We had the same prison dungarees is what we nicknamed them. I also heard Orlando was the place to be at that time. I had many shipmates bragging about all the liberties they had in Orlando.
Pt wasn't used for punishment, except for "self destruct" and "8 count body builders". "Make the walls sweat"! I went through Navy boot in 96. The good old Navy.
I Graduated Navy boot camp in 87... watching these videos of today’s Navy boot camp blows me away! They have turned it into a freaking day care center. I.T. ( intensive training) has been replaced by time outs. Let’s be careful to not hurt anyone’s feelings or stress them out, because when shit hits the fan it’s okay to just go to your safe place in your mind. I hope the U.S. Navy grows it’s balls back! It’s embarrassing to watch how they have pussifide the Navy of today.
The short sleeve whites were "working whites". Was a summer uniform for admin/office type jobs. There was also a "working blues" for the winter time with a tie. It was a sharp uniform. Hardly wore either of mine. I was an AMS, I wore dungarees or coveralls all day. Went in 95. I personally liked the dungarees. They were comfortable. I don't think I woulda liked wearing cammies all day
I was in boot camp in 99.. boot camp was WAY more intense.. in your face. Yelling and swearing at you. Giving you special motivation. PT was way more intense. I hope they bring back the old school hard core boot camp. GM2 served 99-04. . USS kitty hawk.
This is not boot camp from 2000, this is a few years earlier than that. I went to boot camp in Dec 99’ - Mar 00’ - Div 094. We didn’t have the large “N” on our PT shirts - those were phased out around 97’ . We also did not have white swim shorts ours were Navy blue. We also wore hats that said “recruit” until we earned our “Navy” ball caps by finishing battle stations.
Hello Fam ! I went through boot camp in Great Lakes in 1985 . Late cold weather that spring closed down the firefighting and small arms training . I got both in the fleet from my first ship . My boot camp experience was different than this . The only females were the Corpsmen and some of the MSs at the galley . PT gear was for PT only . Our covers were the black wool watchcaps until the last couple of weeks . We did get PTd for punishment, it was called a mashing , or getting mashed . The worst was when you were put into the front leaning rest . Rest my butt . It was the up position of a pushup , where the Company Commander would leave you until you to arms gave out and you'd fall on your face . The uniform of the day was dungarees, the jeans and blue chambray shirt , with white canvas leggings over steel toed boondocker combat boots . Then topped off by the aforementioned watch cap . We were called raisinheads because of the watchcap. We weren't called sailors until we got the white Dixie Cup covers . We got snail mail and could write letters home . If you were a good recruit you might get to have On Base Liberty for an hour or two a week during the last couple of weeks . There was a club for recruits where you could buy geedunk, fast food , sodas , watch MTV and make a phone call home , all of which you had to pay for , except for the MTV . We all had to mess crank at the galley for two weeks , during which time your day started at 0400 and went to about to about 1900. After about a week into boot camp we marched with rifles . They were old M1 Garands , WW2 weapons weighing twice as much as an M16 rifle . We also had to learn the manual of arms , such as "Right Shoulder , Arms ! , Left Shoulder , Arms ! Present , Arms ! Ground , Arms ! " Just like in Full Metal Jacket . I tell you what , by the time we got our Dixie Cups and had our stuff in order , we looked GOOD , Strutting down the street , looking like real sailors with our Garands on our shoulders , Company Flag , Guidon, and achievement flags flapping in the wind . Even with no rounds in our weapons we would have charged an enemy and butt stroked them to submission . Hooyah !
"Janitor looking uniforms." Hahahahaa! I went in July 2004. Fucking hated those Utilities (janitor uniforms). You sneeze the wrong way and there was an improper crease out of nowhere.
i'll clarify yes there is small arms training still. Supposedly there was like a 2 week spam where recruits did not get to shoot. Only some divisions carry i pads it's just an experiment.
Basic sucked in winter (Feb of 98) cold as hell up on Lake Michigan. Ughhh dont miss the old school heavy ass peacoats at all. Its like they were designed as a big fk you and just trapped in cold air.
" Old School " Bootcamp ended in the mid 1970s. It became shorter and softer over the years and evolved into what it is now.. summer camp for sensitive snow flakes. I was there in 1971.
We didn't have sweats, wore dungarees all the time. Your pants were used as flotation devices. We also had salt and pepper, all black, all white uniforms. REAL Sailors wear Dungarees. The Sony walkman just came out( cassette). The .45 was actually .22 and didn't have to hit target, just shoot downrange. This was 1982. Was a Anolog Navy, although we did have a video room on ship. Was run by the Chaplain.
Boot Camp 2005, June. Div 189. Toar up City of Chicago in July/Aug 2005. A school had a train that went straight to heart of Chicago. Rush/Division street every weekend! Somehow I pulled off all weekend liberty every weekend. Great timez
Old school? LOL. I went through in 1963. That was old school and the Recruit Company Commanders (D.I's) weren't warm and fuzzy like they were in your video.
Pushed divisions from old ship 12 and the new barracks 2000-2003, prefer the old buildings in some ways. Piss me off and we go to abandon ship...push the racks outboard, shut the window and make it rain. In 2000 division 400, 2001 divisions 003, 107, 208, 369, 511, in 2002 division 398 and in 2003 divisions 039 and 297. Worked alongside many hardworking, dedicated, and professional shipmates. Thanks for the flashback JT. ABHC(AW) Dills.
Man looks somewhat similar to when I went in 2006. Only difference is the PT uniforms, and the covers. We didn't get Navy ballcaps until we passed battlestations then we can get rid of our Recruit covers
there is still small arms training but the range was shut down for a while and i believe it still is at the moment, there was apparently some explosive residue that built up so it was unsafe to fire the weapons.
RTC Great Lakes 1979 company 270. October through December. There wasn't any political correctness and it was awesome! We had company commanders and the candy stripers - company commanders who wore a red/white striped aiguillette, performed the main inspections. The smoking lamp was lit in the afternoons, and nonsmokers volunteered to stand smoke watch. Things have changed and it seems not for the better.
Damn, things have really changed from when I was in bootcamp! I am from the real old school. No women trained with us. Even in "A" school. In hospital corps school the only women where the company nurses (commissioned RNs) who were our class room instructors.
Nice video papi, my dad was actually in the navy and he joined in 96 and got out in 2000 (4 years duh) and watchin this is pretty cool, seein how my pops did it back in the day! And my gosh ! That was a longs time now!! When he got out in 2000 he got married that year. So now it was 2001 right? And boom, I was born ! Heck imma 2001 baby and I'm 15 now! ITS BEEN 21 YEARS SINCE MY POPS JOINED THE NAVY !! Like what the heck!! Now here I am thinkin bout being a marine even tho my pops want me to go to college and get a higher education. Ahh life is crazy
'90 San Diego, we had 3 types of punishment: Mashing = Co. Marching Party = Division (held on Friday nights) and then the Big Chicken Dinner, "SHORE TOUR", did any sailors out there ever have to go to "SHORE TOUR" ???
I wish I saw these videos before I left for boot camp 😂 3 and a half years later I am currently in Washington going through the outprocessing. Served on USS ANTIETAM from march 2013 to July 2017 as a YN left a YN2
WOW !!! boot camp is is different. i was in great lakes in 89.. coldest shit i ever been through until Antarctica. there were no women in bootcamp or on my ship and i was on an aircraft carrier. .
+JTsuits Let your future sailor/soldier subscribers know that "while in basic and AIT/A School hours feel like days, days feel like weeks, weeks feel like months, but months feels like hours" ..... it is strange how that works.
I'm a big fan JT I've been watching your videos for months to prepare me for the Navy. I might actually ship out next month. Just wanted to say thank you for the information. Keep doing your thing JT
Yo there shipmate! Former HM3 here. Thanks for this vid. I went in boot back in Nov 2001 and this brought back so many memories and I was able to show my kids a small snippet of what it was like. Gotta love those P days in the recruit suits lol. Thanks for the vids!
Jt I just graduated...now we practice weapons turn over inspections and we do do live fire (when I did it it was more like dry fire due to some sort of ammunition issue) we don't fire the shot guns anymore though
"PT is not used for punishment" LMAOOOOOOOOOO OK AIR CHAIRS GET THERE

I wore dungarees. I we felt like we were in the Navy! Utilities were dumb, but don't compare with that stupid blue Type II. Now we wear that green army shit.
@Fransico Buttersworth I mean of course lol
I have those old school Navy uniforms
I went to navy boot camp from may 2000- September 2000 and i was a CS3 SW/AW
The navy should bring back the old school Dungarees
I loved our uniforms. This is the year I went through.
Yea I went through in 2001 I did not like the utilities
I hated the dungarees at the time, but missed them after we changed to utilities. I missed the female garrison cap (piss cutter). It was easier to carry than the ball cap.
Much respect to the OG's

You should have been there 20 years before that. Chiefs that would actually kick your butt if you were an F-up. Not like today's daycare military.

Yeah, and we got to go to the beach on the weekends in Orlando..... Sorry to destroy the illusion.... you were lied to.
Just about the time my dad was pushing there! 😂
I went to Orlando in 86 in June. It was hot and humid. The water tasted like eggs. And PT was definitely used as a form of punishment, I mean “motivation”.

Wait wtf? No small arms training? That was what i was looking forward to 😭
rTZink124 yep they told us the same div 194
Damn that sucks. You can get pistol and rifle qualified when you get to your command though. I'd highly recommend it.
That's crazy I just graduated beginning of Feb, div 076 and we did small arms training had no idea they took it away
Do they still yell and cuss at the recruits? It's been 10 years since I was in boot camp.
Join the Marines. Or go MA.
90s baby's like this post ... also...
I liked it also 😊
wtf man i thought there was a hair on my screen but its just your profile pic lol
There is no cursing today. The kids might cry!
You could get some crisp creases in those dungarees JT. When you ironed them right with some starch they looked sharp.
Yea they were still annoying though
Much respect to the OG uniforms that served a survival purpose instead of just 'looking cool'.

ya man and it only goes by faster as you get older haha
Whats with the puff of smoke at 7:35. at first I was like oh shit JTs house gots one of them poltergeists
How long is boot camp now? Do you still have "Service Week" in week 7?
I graduated July 2000 (278) from RTC Great Lakes!
'90 San Diego, we had 3 types of punishment: Mashing = Co. Marching Party = Division (held on Friday nights) and then the Big Chicken Dinner, "SHORE TOUR", did any sailors out there ever have to go to "SHORE TOUR" ???
I wish I saw these videos before I left for boot camp 😂 3 and a half years later I am currently in Washington going through the outprocessing. Served on USS ANTIETAM from march 2013 to July 2017 as a YN left a YN2
I was there when it was commissioned back in 87 in Baltimore.Was part of precom unit.
I was born in 2000 and I'm going to boot camp December 26 2019 yeet
Have fun with the peanut butter lmao
JTsuits pls react to 2017 Navy Seal boot camp and look at the difference on your boot camp when your were a recruit?
Went to great mistakes in 99 and was the last div to get issued dungarees....miss those bad boys
They put the small arms training back when I was in book camp, which was a week ago
They've brought back small arms trsining, but it was gone for a bit because the armory had flooded and ruined a bunch of shit
I just subscribed to your channel. I was in Boot Camp from August-October 1999.
WOW !!! boot camp is is different. i was in great lakes in 89.. coldest shit i ever been through until Antarctica. there were no women in bootcamp or on my ship and i was on an aircraft carrier. .
It's been a while but I'm pretty sure they made us watch that in the airport before the bus picked us up.
+JTsuits
Let your future sailor/soldier subscribers know that "while in basic and AIT/A School hours feel like days, days feel like weeks, weeks feel like months, but months feels like hours" ..... it is strange how that works.
lol when you say old school.....you make me feel OLD. I went through in 1987.
haha old fart >.
Yea JTsuits...I was around when the Dead Sea was only sick.
This is my era right here. Division 119. 2001.
Old school Navy was company 048 NTC San Diego March of 1983 lol.
SMURFS. 😆
I went to Boot, in Great Lakers in May 1993.
My sister went to in 1997.
And I seen all the changes
Small arms training is still a thing. The live fire part was cancelled for what they said was bad ammo
YO JT WHO TOOK THAT COMMITMENT RIP AT 7:33 LMFAO +1
Yep, if you don't like guns so much, the Navy would be your choice. We spent an hour on the range back in '81.
This was cool to watch. That was the year after i went.
Loved the old Dungarees.
I believe this is from the mid 90's. I joined in 97 and we weren't wearing the PT gear shown here at that time.
I'm a big fan JT I've been watching your videos for months to prepare me for the Navy. I might actually ship out next month. Just wanted to say thank you for the information. Keep doing your thing JT
there's still small arms, i just had a buddy graduate not too long ago, still in Nuke C school. he got his ribbon.
They are called dungarees, JT. I still have some from 25 years ago.
And notice all physical activities are being done outdoors. Not like now a days, as they PT in heated and air condition spaces.
This video is an accurate depiction of my bootcamp experience at NTC RTC in the fall of 1984
Thanks,JTsuit, I've never seen a navy life before, and I enjoyed it.Your boy is tired to you.
I went through the Great lakes boot camp back in 1994.
Sad part is I was in boot camp in 1999. Damn and you called it old-school I am getting old.
shane reed haha ya man ur not getting any younger >.< cheers ! 🍻 u gotta be in ur 40s by now ?!
JTsuits haha no I am 36
Yo there shipmate! Former HM3 here. Thanks for this vid. I went in boot back in Nov 2001 and this brought back so many memories and I was able to show my kids a small snippet of what it was like. Gotta love those P days in the recruit suits lol. Thanks for the vids!
jt can you react to a flight deck ops video and walk us through the whole process from a sailor perspective on how the flight deck operates?
Good videos JTsuits, you answer all the questions that i have in mind.keep it up bro
I still have the utilities I wore through battle stations.
Jt I just graduated...now we practice weapons turn over inspections and we do do live fire (when I did it it was more like dry fire due to some sort of ammunition issue) we don't fire the shot guns anymore though
You got to miss out on Dungarees. Those things don't breathe for shit during a Chicago summer.
