Her not being able to say Black/African American/African or describing her hair as kinky was so cringe.
I thought the same thing lol
Agreed! It made me uncomfortable for her
Girl So cringy.. I’m like “why isn’t she saying “African American hair” 🥴
That and the dudes phrasing felt so forced 😂
I think she was include other kinky types. you definitely see the issues with other times to and not solely 4c/blk hair
she's so pretty!!
She hottie!🔥
I go to basic soon and I’m so excited! Listening to this and reading the Bootcamp Survival Guide are so helpful! Thank you sir and ma’am
HelenAngel is an amazing role model. I love how you learned how to fit into the mold both ethnically and gender-wise. I also like how you took advantage of the training offered before you enlisted. Glad you made it through the gauntlet with the sleep deprivation, psychological stressing, etc. Those are the hardest pieces and probably the most germane to combat experience.
You still look like a princess, though. Back in the day, princesses were trained with the sword as soon as they could lift one.
We've really drifted.
Id personally say lifted, drifting seems to insinuate some aimless or pointless change in course, but I love and agree with the rest of what you said. Im very sad there arent more options for your beautiful naturally kinky hair sis, but love how adaptive and strong and honest you are.
By me being an African American woman, its weird seeing that she couldn't describe her race as "African American", "kinky coarse hair" and she couldn't even look him in the face an talk about her ethnicity. #QuiteCringy sis but overall the tips were kinda helpful
I believe because as my grandmother used to say today people run it in ground. Sis I am chocolate 🍫 it is stupid and silly as a Black lady to keep shoving your complexion down a human's throat today. They know you Black ⚫ duh 🙄 it just looks stupid ' to me to keep telling someone I'm Black i have nappy hair ' 🤔 ❓
@@daffodilstalkshow672 Being black does not equal nappy nor does it have anything to do with complexion. Black people are of all different complexions. And her saying AA or black isn't shoving it down anyone's throat🙄
Great video! Really helpful getting her perspective.
I was on a ship with her! Small world!
Really got the most awkward girl for this. My recruiter told me to do things like get a Pap smear before or else they do it there.
I was originally planning to join the marines but I’m starting to fully consider Coast Guard. I want to be a AST and I know you have to be a E5 to be a CoastGuard Diver, but if I’m given the chance I would love to do all of that.
I am this way except I wanted to do airforce. What put me off first was the shitty jokes the general public seems to have, it made coast guard seem lazy which is not true at all
Only 14 but can't wait to join
@@militaryjourneymen will do
Same here!!!
You in front ensemble?
Are you in now
@@Gracenote35 Yeah, I was. How did you know?
I was in the army but coast guard boot camp looks……. WAY more intense
Just graduated High School (18) I'm going to be going to my second MEPS appointment soon. I hope that I get a base that has on base housing. I can't wait to serve our country.
Had the opportunity to talk about, period, shaving privates if needed, unibrow, sports bra and underwear. But talked mostly about hair :))
Would you be able to interview her again, or another female that went through boot camp?
@@dd41283Mind your business. Shaming someone for their own grooming standards is ridiculous.
@@kristinabible7774 I deleted my comment in case it was offensive. That being said, as a former Coastie, the least of our concerns was shaving our privates. There was no time. Showers were hurried. And we didn't even have periods while we were there due to the extreme physical conditions. Unless boot camp is not as difficult as it was in 1988. Also, if someone is that sensitive, basic training may not be for them.
Thank you so much for these videos!
YW!
thanks for all the info hopefully joining soon
Why can't she say African American or black?????
Maybe because she wants to include other curly hair textures cuz not just black people have Afro or curly hair
@@TheMixedkyde white people curly and black people kinky are two completely different textures 😭
Not everybody with curly and wavy hair are black/ African American. Indians, Latinos, Arabs, Polynesians, etc are examples. Expand your horizons, read some books..
Seriously. lol
THanks for the info. Great video!
Eco styling gel!
will be very exciting.
#THANKYOUFORYOURSERVICE
Thanks
hello Julian, I wanted to know anything about co location. My husband is soon going to A school to become a BM and I have been considering the YN rate but I am also looking forward to build a family so maybe you can tell us any information about co location.
What if you have short hair as a female what do yOu do ?
I am in love 😩😩😩😩
COULD females shave and/or shorten their hair?
Put Down Anime yes they can I can’t believe no one answered you
The DEP program is shorter than the full eight weeks
If i hear another person say ethnic hair one more time im going to flip out
God bless uscg , ive been in since 2006
What if you have short hair and can’t put it in a bun?
so cringy when he is talking about her hair and gel lol
Cool very informative
@military Journeyman can you make a video on the CG Uniforms
A how to, the different uniforms you get issued at boot camp and when to wear them.... and do the CC’s tell you what to wear everyday or is there a daily uniform routine that you just know what to wear?
Usually they tell you what you’re wearing. If you’re going to the gym or the galley or whatever it is, you either wear your operational dress uniform or you wear your PF gear. Usually it’s your ODs that you’ll be wearing unless you are told otherwise.
💕💕💕
Can I shave my head as a female?
Sure! Would make life easier
Is it safe?? Why do they have to scream at you??!! Not necessary at all to scream. Stress is bad!!!!!!!!!
They simulate stressful situations to get you ready to serve. It’s loud on cutters and not all situations will be calm. My recruiter told me it’s to make sure we can be loud enough to be heard by others.
What’s SAR week
Hey I was thinking about Joining the Coast Guard but I am really bad with cold water is there any advice that you have ? Thank you !
Julian’s totally right, you’ll do a swim test in boot camp that takes place in an indoor pool. After that, the only outdoor swimming you’ll do will be for training, with a dry suit that keeps you from enduring cold water
The water wasnt cold. Youll be fine. especially in warmer months but expect to be comfortable
did you get to pick your job before or after bootcamp?
Wish he would stop calling women “females” while hes calling men “guys”
Why can’t they say “black”?
So annoying, like girl spit it out😩
she just wanted to be inclusive to all poc, hence “ethnic”
African American lives matter@@xckiana
You can fix this by shaving every recruits head man or woman. Everyone bald. Lol
Equality
Female Coast guard needs to cut their Hair into boy cut?
No you can put it in a slick bun or have it cut short above I believe your chin most likely would want it out of your eyes
Hi iwas wondering if you can join the Coast Guard if you can't swim? Also do you get to contact your family often? Or use cellphones? Great Video thanks!
Thank you for the info!
Just to add on to the swim part, the test is 100 meters I think; and you’ll have the opportunity at boot camp to better your swim skills if you need. I would practice before boot camp but don’t let it stop you from joining, you’ll get it I promise!
@@d00ditsjeremy thanks for the comment ! I appreciate it
Do they make you sleep in a sports bra? Ya know, so you're ready for fire, fire, fire...
Why don't they just shave the girls' hair?
My guess is a girls hair plays more of a role in a girls identity than it does of a guy. Not saying guys don’t care about their hair because they do. But guys are more known to have shorter hair so it wouldn’t be as big of a identity change vs female hair is long and would take probably close to 5 years or more to grow back to what it once was.
Yeah she 🔥 Hot .
