Ayo Nikko, that chief that’s standing there saying “you have 15 seconds” I was in bootcamp and that guy made this kid apologize to the flags on the ground for stepping on them just to say “why the fuck are you apologizing to the flag, it can’t talk back” I almost lost my shit standing there 😂
In Army basic training i had a drill sargeant that made a guy pick up a piece of spinach that he dropped in the DFAC and carry it outside to bury it because it got stepped on and "died"
Edit:the spinachs name was Sergeant First Class Green.
@@Aknight292 That’s amazing 😂😂😂
I’m a corpsman in the Navy and I saw a marine get “tree detail”. This dude had to go outside in autumn and staple leaves back onto tree branches because he fucked up 😂😂😂 Shit had me dead
Friend of mine in Aussie army basic training got ordered to sweep the sunshine off the cement. Was out there for hours til they came and got him
That happened to one my guys too 😂
Bootcamp the funniest place I wasn’t allowed to laugh at.
Man that's the one thing that would get me and the whole company smoked... my dumbass randomly snickering trying to control my laugh...
FACTS 😂
Same , and got smokes for laughing a handful of times
The best part about my battery was getting smoked. You’d be looking left and right staring at the weaker people, and just giggling; thinking, “wow I’m not doing as bad as that guy right there.”
Man turns into the f****** comedian
My lead RDC was checking my deck log, he looked at me and said “Recruit! Are you pregnant?!” “No Cheif I said” and he was like “Really?! Cause you missed two f****** periods!!” 😂😂😂
Yo this his has me fucking crying im laughing so hard😂
Fucking hilarious! Man I miss boot camp, but I never wanna repeat it, if that makes sense lol
🤣🤣🤣
@@LionBoy3712 I feel you
My lead RDC would scream in our faces and spit, his excuse was he was just juicy lmao
It continues to blow my mind that so many people can sign up for the Coast Guard and Navy when they don't know how to swim and actually be SURPRIZED that it's a problem.
You have to know how to swim with any branch
@@brandongreen6846absolutely not
Fr lol
@@brandongreen6846 nope. in navy you have 3 levels you have to complete but they will train you. army and coast guard have no requirement but they will teach you.
Fr. Just because you're going to be stationed on a boat ain't mean you won't be working in the drink
Shout-out Chief Kalaw (the screaming chief in the first part). Always intense, often hilarious (even though laughing is banned). He was great, a bulwark against this kinder/gentler bs that's pervading boot camp and the wider military.
I'm about to join soon and I actually hope he's there. Cuz if I get the chance to talk with him, I'd like to ask him some questions about his time as an RDC and what led to his decision to be an RDC.
Bro when you said “I am a water purification specialist” I died. That’s my mos in the marines 😂😂😂 now I feel like a bitch
@@brucesmith765 If he's talking about being a water dog (from what I know) its all testing water for drinkability and various uses
I mean you’re probably not gonna be shooting at anyone or even get shot at. However, if you weren’t there and no one tested the water and now an entire seal team has cholera and is infected by parasites of various kinds, yea I think your job along with the guy that tests radiation levels and the guy that confirms whether or not people are fit mentally to join the military (aka are they gonna be a loose canon if they’re deployed) is pretty important. Like I think the number of lives that can be saved increases both the further up command you go and the further from the front lines you go. Like a deployed medic may be able to save a couple lives or hundreds if your Doss, but a general chooses where to place the troops themselves and if placed and coordinated correctly can win entire battles without losing anyone to the enemy. Same thing, troops on the field can probably save themselves or the soldiers around them, troops in the field of testing can save thousands of lives or just make the lives of the battlefield soldiers a little better.
Tactical water operating specialist
@@AnAgedMan I never shit on water dogs. They're the guys that made it so I could have a hot shower, drinking water, and laundry after 6 months in the middle of buttfuck nowhere.
@@brucesmith765 to add on to Pacey, it's basically a humanitarian type job since you make sure the troops get purified water along with the civilians like for example one of the recruiters told me that her MOS was WTS and she was out in Texas and what not when the hurricane hit and she was making sure that people got purified water
When you said “don’t do this shit for your parents”. That’s REAL. My husband has been in 15 years and his mom straight up BEGGED him not to go to basic. He really did it for him and the man is still going… embracing the suck 😂
Dam my mom begged me to go in
Yeah, my Mother begged me to not join the military, lots of emotional blackmail. I listened because I was stupid, and it's my biggest regret tbh.

@@cr-nd8qh he’s an only child. 🤷🏻♀️😂
been in almost 2 years (navy). first time we did urinalysis, i called a first class a chief while pissing and he said, “DO I LOOK LIKE A CHIEF” so i responded “I DONT KNOW IM PISSING”. not a good day for me 😔
Someone got pissed off i guess 👀🤣
I do have mad respect for drill instructors. That's a hard composure to uphold.
Glad you liked it... this was 2018. My first push.
So weird to me how much it has changed since when i went through in 2004 lol thanks for what you do chief
@@xblackxabyssx1983 Its weird how it changed, but how much stayed the same since we went through (2005)... Still the same Dragon Lady at the Barber shop in Golden 13 too 🤣
@SARbud1387 the dragon lady is immortal. She was there in 1775
Never has anyone said ‘I should have joined the Army’ 😂. Navy girl here, everyone just wishes they joined the Air Force instead
Accurate af
Wayyy to accurate
I say that every day lol
A good portion of Marines say they wish they would have joined the Army throughout their whole enlistment lol
@@kidflykai03 they hate there life because cause they signed up for the Marine Corps without realizing what they were getting into. I myself love it here but not everyone does.
Navy boot camp... good times 😅😂😂😂 I kept my head low and stayed in the shadows. 🤣 I didn’t even call home. My phone plan ended that same day, so I was like fuck it, I saw my family like 2 days ago. They know where I’m at 😂😂
dude this literally made me laugh so hard lmao the perfect timing of that is hilarious
Glad i have a relative in RTC, he is an RDC and he lives just a couple of minutes away from base
Boot camp was fun and shit at the same time
Because you could it's easy af
same here those were the good times
The Chief you loved if I’m not mistaken goes by “Lizard King” he was a menace if you were a recruit. Went to RTC in April 2019, he was terrifying.
That mf told me in the galley told me “you know how many people I killed ship mate, I stopped counting after 10”
@@thefirstglokage9224 me and a buddy decided to stand at attention weirdly and he yelled at us saying we should've joined the Power Rangers
Damn, why lizard King, why not King Shark?
Nicest guy in the world behind the scenes
had the "lizard king" too back in april 2018. He was actually cool as hell during captains cup. didn't expect that.
I’m joining the navy after Christmas, I’m super scared but just as if not more excited!
Just graduated. They make this look soo intense it’s not lol it’s a breeze. Hardest throng about navy boot camp is staying awake in class lol boot camp was honestly a joke . All you gotta do is pass your runs and you will graduate.
Whats your ship date? Im leaving in january
Best way to survive is to not be noticed. You don't want to be remembered in bootcamp
My brother just joined in June!
Don't be scared brother just kick and enjoy yourself! You'll remember it all for the next 30 years trust me. Go Navy!
23:15, in the Navy we called it, "Making it rain!" PT so hard their was literal rain falling from the ceilings, fun shit!
I was Culinary specialist in the Navy. It’s not a combat component but it’s vital to keep Navy personal and Marines on board feed and morale up. I took pride in trying to cook the most decent meal with what we had.

@@thatonejerry9092 Yes that’s right
I don't care if your the saltiest lifer, a rig worker, a white shirt at the dealership, good food makes the day a lot better no mater who you are.
I love that you’re unafraid and unapologetic when you comment on the military getting soft. It’s like people know that it’s happening but nobody wants to talk about it.
We're not allowed to talk about it or we get in trouble lol it's BS
@@romantic_hippie hey! Daddy Gilday does what daddy Gilday thinks is best.
Wtf everyone talks about it lol
It's constantly talked about. I'm non military, no one in my family is military. I still hear about it.
Cause for the people not in it or who haven’t enlisted it’s still hard as fuck
I was Army. In basic they made me do so many push-ups at one time that I could no longer move my arms, literally. After getting yelled at (a LOT) for being on the ground I was able to inform the drill. He just rolled me over and made me do flutter kicks instead. That shit needs to come back because soldiers need to be able to overcome hardship. Body by Hostess who has never even found his limits is never going to be the best, most effective soldier that he can be.
I get what you are trying to say, but if a news I saw is to be believed, the army in general is missing so many people that they just want soldiers, nevermind the best, most effective soldiers a person can be.
@@nnaauujjddaa They do have recruitment issues, that's true. So, isn't it more important than ever that we have the best soldiers possible?
@@markt7289 no, or else they wouldn’t have put the restrictions in place. The army recognizes it’s such a big problem that they’re putting quantity over quality
@@isaiah7985 I appreciate your perspective but recruitment is WAY down; there simply aren't the numbers. This is purely ideological and it is destroying our readiness and capability. Being a soldier is difficult, it demands a lot from you, and there is no room for group hugs or safe-spaces.
Omg - that’s hardcore - he just rolled you over?!? Like”Welp, time to flip the burger “. Lol.
One thing I learned in boot was realizing it may hurt but it’ll be over before you know it. That’s for anything. The physical stuff and boot in general.
just finished navy boot camp and when you said the water for swim was probably hot I can definitely say that it was cold as balls. they say it's around 78 degrees but it feels like it's about 60
For the future soldiers watching and commenting on this video. When you do the sit up portion of any Physical fitness test in any branch. Drop your back down which will slightly bounce up to give you momentum to go back up. It will hurt less on the core and you can do more. Push-ups there’s no tips for it just look straight and when you go down inhale and push-up exhale out. You will do more pushups. For the run if you have a breathing issue inhale twice and exhale twice. Eat more bananas three times a day. It will help numb some of the pain on your legs and on your lungs.
eat the apples too - they clear the histamine from the system : you get better sleep and actually recover
Going in this month, appreciate the tip.
@@gmmarieeek you’re welcome 😁
Navy Vet here...We called it “Making it Rain” when we got smoked until the walls sweat. They would close the doors, turn the heat up, and work us for hours. We were all male so they worked us HARD....three squared beat downs per day (one for breakfast, lunch, and dinner is what they said). You knew it was coming when our lead RDC would bolt in, start throwing shit, and turn on “Make it Rain” by Fat Joe. He had a sense of humor about it. 🤣
We had an RDC on "the ship" that would show up in his rain jacket and everyone knew there would be water dripping off the ceiling 🤣😂
I really hope I get an RDC like that. I leave November 22nd. Also thank you for your service.🇺🇸⚓️
Curious where you went to boot and when? I went to Great Lakes in 86 and it was called MASH, make a sailor hurt. RDC would come in and say push your racks back and it was on
@@letstalk5602 I had gone in 99. Can't say for the others but I do know that by that point and on there had only been Great Lakes. I had heard San Diego closed in 97.
@@memyselfandi1300 I’ve been assigned to go to Great Lakes as there is only 1 place to go now. I’ve heard Great Lakes was shitty back when San Diego was around and then it got better being that it’s the only one now. As I’ve heard I could be wrong.
I was a firefighter before going into the Marine Corps one of the techniques that was taught to us was skip breathing in case our Gear with ever compromised in a fire helped me immensely in the gas chamber they made me go through several times because it barely affected me
I held my breath the whole time until it was time to sound off haha
What's skip breathing and how do you do it? I would greatly enjoy learning it so I can fuck with people.
@@atashgallagher5139 now also keep in mind this takes months so do it every now and again when you're sitting on the couch or after a workout or whatever and you will train your body to do it I still do it every now and again and it helps my breathing in a high stress situation which I've had quite a few even being out now
I wish they told us that. My 1st class was on the way to extinguish fire & the time it took from the gear locker to the fire the tank ran out but they were all panicked & you breathe heavier when you're s***ing yourself.
The instructors are so nice. And newbies are so quiet.
Edit. They're so dang squared away. Clean as hell.
40:40. That uniform is way more comfortable than it looks. That's the first thing I noticed when putting it on.
We asked at the end of boot camp “what was the point of keeping us up all night the first 2 days?” And they really said “there isn’t one, just to mess with you mentally”
My high school football coach would do that to use during 2 a days
But, you're still a Marine tho
Also true
There are fires constantly on ships, at least on my carrier loads happened. It’s normal, the damage control is so prepared that it’s no problem!
It better be with weekly evolutions for training lmao. Fuck General Quarters that alarm still haunts me.
Even in basic training navy is sus 🤣
😂
It’s only sus if you want it to be bro 🙃
Stfu lol how
Gotta start us early (I'm joining in a few years)
Damn right. I’m a super silly navy veteran and sus is to bust…. And in the navy…… we always bustin 😉
Really impressed on how well you read. Most grunts don't read as well as you. Your a credit to your branch.
I definitely would love to hear a story time about some of your basic training experiences, hope you do one soon!
There are 5 uniforms that we are issued in Basics: Dress Blues, Dress Whites, Type 3s (Camies), NSUs ( the khaki uniform the instructors are wearing) and coveralls ( which is our ship board working uniform. Its the uniform you saw during the capping ceremony) not including our PT uniform and track suit.
A lot has changed over the past few years. When I was going through in 99 the Navy was phasing out the dungarees for the janitor looking blue uniform. We also had working whites, working blues, dress whites, dress blues, coveralls... Plus all the jackets, covers, socks etc. I got my combat uniforms about 2 months later when I got to a construction battalion and was told to throw all those fleet uniforms away with exception of my dress uniforms.
Bootcamp. I’d do it all over again. It was fun
The coveralls from boot camp got turned into grease rags since when you check in to your first command strictly ships will give you the real coveralls fire proof supposedly lol those from boot camp are trash
@@memyselfandi1300 seabee?
@@travismorris5903 yep.
I hated getting smoked, but when I heard that the new guys couldn't get smoked as much as I did, I was shocked. Getting smoked is important during training.
Some advice for those going into training. Keep your head down. My chief didnt know who i was til halfway thru basic. He said that was a good thing. He also told me to count by 10s on your pushups and situps. It makes it feel like less.
Go navy, beat army[cheeks]
A year ago and you still crack me up! Never change
I think you're now obligated to react to bootcamp videos for all other branches (and Coast Guard) as well. But do Army next so we can hear your stories!
The 2 divisions in this documentary got treated really nice. They couldn't cuss or be as mean as they normally are while shooting this doc
Facts my RDCs were cussing and screaming constantly.
We cussed.... we yelled.... they edited.
Or hypocrotical
Hahaha right. I remember taking a few steel toe boots to the ribs for fucking up
Dude my RDCs threw chairs
When I was in basic we got into a brawl after taps, and they had an “ice cream social” they brought in buckets of frozen ice cream and ITed us until it got so hot in the compartment it melted then they took the lids off and dumped it all in the compartment and made us field day until it was all spotless.
100% same thing happened to me when I went through it, then we tool some things from our draws and beat the shit out the two that were fighting
My RDCs threatened us with that but we thankfully never got it. But I will never forget my 7th general order, because they made us do about 1,000 sit ups while repeating it over and over because the duty kept gossiping with her friends 😭 my abs have never been so solid lmfao
We constantly got threatened with ice cream socials! We also had enough demerits to put a big "F" on the compartment wall before we graduated.
bet yall buttholes were sore for a month after all that.
@@jacobshaw3155 gotta love when they pull the Orange Card out on you
The way that they explained it to us was that in the Navy attention to detail is high priority. Everyone on the ship's lives can depend on your ability to follow instruction to the letter. Even something as simple as taking out the trash can risk lives if you don't pay attention. Their example was, on a sub there is a specific way that trash must be separated and secured into it's bundle or else when it gets dumped it could all come apart and float, giving away your position and getting everyone killed.
In the Navy's boot camp, there are three division classes. The recruits in 100 divisions are your average sailors, 800 divisions are NSO/NSW contracted sailors, and the 900 divisions are musician sailors-or something like that. The recruits with NSO contracts share the same building and living quarters but have separate rooms, or divisions, as those with NSW contracts. Those with EOD, ND, and AIR are in a different division than those with SEAL and SWCC contracts. However, both wake up two hours earlier than any other division for DIVMO training conducted by current SEAL, SWCC, EOD, ND, and AIR enlisted sailors.
Had a navy instructor as my gym coach in middle school, he was able to control a group of 300 pre teens
Looking through at this brought back so many memories, my "Smoked til the walls sweated" story was because we had a phantom shitter in the compartment, and so when the ships LCPO came in to ask who did it. we got smoked for 3 days straight until he gave up. None of us could figure out who done it
We had something similar. Someone spat on a spare rack and we got beat 4 times in one day. Then they beat us two to three times a day for the next three days.
Division 180 Feb 2002. We called it making it rain. 8 count body builders till sweat dripped from the celing. Back in the old barracks where you would get sick due to the draft coming across the Great Lakes. Stayed sick the entire time. WOuld do it again in a heartbeat.
@@southernoffroad2016 2004 pneumonia 2 times in basic wouldnt trade it for anything lol division 201

Goddammit phantom shitters...
Chief klaw was in training to be an instructor in my division. He's a total bad ass. Glad to see he made E-7!
Does he still train
Chief stigal is still and RDC he's a senior chief now was able to meet him too
I joined the Army in '05. There were no cell phones allowed and you didn't even have smartphones. We weren't allowed gum... in the almost 18 years I've been in the military things have changed so much, and not necessarily for the better.
My husband is a Submariner, been in 16 years and the fire fighting training never ends. I can't tell you how many times he's come home from an underway and told me about a fire on the sub....it happens more often than you realize!
I went through great lakes july-september of 2017. When the RDCs hopped on the bus I thought I accidentally got on the wrong bus at the airport. Craziest thing that happened to my division was when some kid snuck into the RDCs office aka fishbowl and took the cutlass and ran around the compartment pretending to stab everyone. 10 minutes later it was like every RDC on base busted into the compartment like the cops serving a no-knock warrant screaming "where the fuck is Zorro" lmfao. We were right out of P-days too.
I was in basic while this Chief was there. This man was the single most terrifying and entertaining person ever. Towards the end of my training, he walked into a room holding a mannequin arm and knife handed someone with it. The room was dead silent when we realized the fucking Lizard King just entered.
the MOS of the fire arms instructors is GM (gunners mate), they are typically responsible for maintaining ship board weapons and small arms. Gunners mates are also responsible for marksmanship qualification.
The one instructor had a combat action ribbon!! props!! Navy corpsman!! love those guys!!
We had this one recruit during reception get in trouble for *screeming* at another recruit for sneezing in his vicinity. Petty officer put him on the toe line and lit him up and asked why he thought he could talk another recruit the way he did, and this spud yells, “CUS IM A FOOL MAN!!!” Petty officer was baffled 😂 and that recruit was gone before we got done with reception lol
Man, Navy bootcamp is so different from when I was in, and I don't think I was in that long ago, back in 2000. He's right though, the only thing that was hard, is challenging yourself. Just do what they say and you'll be fine.
I was there 2003 and that's when some divisions were transitioning to the new...current style.
97 here. Much different. Great lakes, great mistakes. Getting smoked, while soaked in DC gear. Got to love it!
I have not served in the military before but from what i can see and hear from people who have been through it is that it destroys your pride and turn it into humility and confidence.
It’s the biggest ego death out there lol
Tell that to a marine
The main RDC who was the focal instructor is a Corpsman. He’s a HMC since he’s a Chief. The storage under the rack is to replicate how your rack and locker are on a ship. I’m so glad I’ve never had to be on a ship.
bootcamp racks are a dream once you go underway. mind you, we also get a small locker as well
Boot racks and lockers are master bedroom compared to the coffin with a curtain I had on ship
When I was in (74-82), what you call MOS was NEC for us. I was 3383/3393 - reactor operator/technician. The "Cracker Jack" uniforms are the class-A uniforms for enlisted.
The RDC's have an office called "The Fish Bowl" in the compartment. I single handedly fogged up all the windows after being smoked for an hour... Oh the good times.
funniest thing about the Army Basic Training is. all their candances are about the airborne while the airborne has none. always found that to be strange.
"smoked untill the walls sweat" haha we called it "making it rain"
Days into bootcamp the one candidate on screen left was already smiling. That's what it's like to get outside your comfort zone and thrive!

My older brother went through Navy Bootcamp last year and they did firefighting training to prepare for the final test known as battle stations.

The old navy barracks had no AC. They could literally make it rain with recruit sweat. It was hilarious.
Civilian here with a couple military friends, I spent the weekend watching too many of your videos here on RUclips and OMG! I haven't laughed so hard or long ever!!! Thank you for posting, you ROCK!!! 😂💗🤗🤣
As a sailor, I can say so much on my boot camp experience. And when it came to the PFA depending on if your Cheif / P.O they would run with you and encourage you. They do give you a chance 24 hours later to re test your PFA but it’s so much better doing it and getting it done the first time because your body will be beat.
Anyone who is going to be going to RTC,
Listen.. follow the tiny details.. do not.. DO FUCKING NOT... sneak breakfast bars from the galley... unless you enjoy going to bed sweaty. Respect your instructors.. and try not to be cut throat with the rest of your division.. but also sleep marching is a thing
I would wake up and we'd be at another building, and I'd just nod like "ok, yea, I guess we're here now" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I once showered after taps because we got beat before bed and someone tattled on me so I got beat during evening routine for the next 3 days
@@travisgarnett4026 did you clean the showers afterwards?
im not gonna lie, my division were breakfast bars bandits. the most i ever took was 3, one dude in my division literally took 6 at once. LOL
In my basic we had fight nights and we settled everything with hands. We used socks as gloves so if we had bruises on our faces we didn't have injured knuckles so they wouldn't know who did it.
Air Force Basic i hardly remember the first few days, but i remeber gettting there when it was dark, then getting in a bunk, just to get woken up by graduates but u didnt know any difference, so sleep was anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours, i cant really recall. this was 2008

This was back a few years and probably no longer allowed. But we had a day room in our barracks with a door that closed. In the Army you called it "Getting smoked" in Navy bootcamp we called ours a "Weather event" where you got smoked as a group until the temperature in that room raised by 5 degrees and the windows were sweating.

In navy boot when the walls and ceilings get wet they call it “making it rain”
11:28 he sounded surprised when he saw where we store our things in the navy. While we do have lockers on the ship, we store everything else underneath the racks minus things that need to be hung.
All I can see is the space force character “powtatoe” haha . Love your videos. Navy vet here. Some of those “drill instructors” have trigger time. You can see their combat action ribbons on their chest (same criteria as a CIB) just goes to show the difference between the combat and non combat DI’s . Anyways keep the videos coming.
Nikko bro you crack me up love the content hurahhh
When I went through Navy basic training in 2001/2002, we called it "making it rain". It can rain indoors. Boot camp was easy. Do what your told. Answer load and don't talk. Follow those three simple things and you will do fine in Navy basic training.
Dude imagine your home is a steel box loaded with thousands of tons of explosives and hundreds of thousands of gallons flammable fuel in the middle of the ocean with 85' waves and a real fire alarm goes off. And the only place to run is an ocean filled with predators and you're at the bottom of the food chain.
Before i became a Army soldier i was an Army mechanic and one time there was this new mechanic very young he had been just finished with Bootcamp and i decided to mess with him so he just had taken something apart and i just throwed some extra screws in . His pure Despair was really funny
that's fucked up dude.
Btw the instructor for the shooting range, he’s a submariner, the most sus of all of us sailors
I just noticed that Nikko had the symbol for chaos on his left elbow
I wonder how into 40k he is.
Yes at Relaxin Jackson AIT (63B) in 2004 made the walls in this one room sweat like mad, fun times.
I just graduated basic 3 weeks ago, and honestly basic is easy af if you just do exactly as you’re told. I was never personally yelled but I was ITEd for failing to pay attention to detail at my job(head po), but besides that I did everything I was told to and passed with ease. The hardest part of boot camp is taking a knee at battle stations tho😂
The stuff you said about hazing is sooo true. Although I changed my mind (not at the last minute, but damn near close to it) about going into the military and chose to go to a HBCU instead and join the marching band, there were still some things that I saw in tv shows and movies about band that aren’t allowed anymore due to hazing. It used to be if you dropped anything you use to perform with (excluding your band hat), you’d have to do push-ups. But now we can’t even do that because according to the law, making someone do anything they don’t want to do is hazing, and apparently unplanned physical exercise is hazing. I’m not gonna say it made us weaker, but the band is really undisciplined (which is basically the same thing because the band is only as good as its weakest link).
Coveralls are the typical navy working uniform worn on a ship. Also they act as a floation device in case you go overboard or ship sinks. The navy ball cap once given to you by your command when you join the fleet represents the command your posted at like the USS Tarawa and has a cool picture of a ship or sometimes your rate(MOS).
They turned all the hot water in the compartment and beat us till it started to rain in the compartment. You could taste every recruits sweat.
I still (as a civilian) have that navy hat. And I remember crying as that song played. Good shit
In basic we did something called let it rain, we basically got beat until the ceiling started sweating
Navy vet here. Went to boot in Feb of 2006. Very different from this. Still considerably easier than I was expecting. However my first swim qual was bullshit. They'd just refilled the pool so the water was freezing cold. Also, side now. Out of a 86 man division...26 of us knew how to swim.
Getting into the lifeboat was so hard because swimming makes you fatigued
hey Nikko, I am really liking your videos. boot camp has chanced a bit since i went through in 1987. I was a Sea bee, we are basically marines with a job trade.....we build we fight.
Tempted to call them, “Step Chief”. 😂 going to basic training my second time but first time in the Navy.
one time me and a few other guys were getting smoked and we all were doing the excersising and the rest of the division was watching . one of us noticed that our RDC had actually fallen asleep in his chair while smoking us and we all were completely silent until he opened his eyes about a minute later! almost felt bad for the dude , they spend alot of time training us away from their families.
Also yes, “smoked till the wall sweat” my RDC’s said “ let’s make a slip n slide”
what does the walls start to smoke mean?
@@spikespiegel748 you smoked til the walls sweat. Basically the steam coming off your body is the smoke. The condensation rolling down the walls from all the body heat is the wall sweat.
When I went we wouldn't stop til it "rained" inside.
Yeah mine was like let's make it rain haha
Settle down you were navy. Try infantry BCT.
I just graduated infantry osit, and the day before graduation we got smoked until the walls were sweating. It was the best smoke session we ever had because we all knew we were done and leaving.
I remember not being able to pass the push-ups for a really long time so for the last two weeks before the last test, they had me doing the push-ups test every waking hour on the hour and the every 2 hours during our sleep time, I made it but I was soooo damn tired. I’m just so glad they gave me a second chance
I'm a navy sailor and to tell you guys that this basic training was nothing compared to weeks later.
Take care and be careful❤️🇺🇸
Haha.. love the commentary! I was Air Force (don’t judge 😋) more than 20 years ago and when I’m stressed I still find my hands by my side clasped with thumbs alined at seem line and I still carry everything with left arm/hand so right arm free to salute. As you stated... INGRAINED
I’m in love with your sense of humor. 😂😂
Fun fact, the HMC at the beginning is known as the “Lizard King”, and the bald first class by the feet testers in the beginning I was stationed with for a while, he’s a Chief now.
The most subdued I’ve seen nikko! But living the long video
That chief that you said you liked was a RDC for the division graduating before us, he was funny asf I got one solid story from him that I think is hysterical and I remember crystal clear to this day
