My enlistment date was July 5th, 1995. ⚓️. I stood watch. My job back then was mechanical repairman/Engineer. My discharge was July 31st, 1996.
In my present and as a civilian, I am in food service and I am certified, servsafe ,and I’ve been thinking about new career in food service and new location. I’ve always kept my military demeanor about myself. I try to encourage and stay positive. Self respect, self love and self discipline.
One of the things ill never forget- One of the guys in my div was humming a song while we were in line for chow and an RDC caught him and made hime sing the song. We were all trying so hard not to laugh because he couldn't sing if his life depended on it
Thank you to the RDC’s , It’s nice to meet you. I would also like to add that I attended church on Sunday while in company 351 by myself in 1995. I was 24 years old then. I graduated basic training with my 2nd company 373. My family attended. ❤🥰
I was Fireman Recruit Long then in Basic training. My ship was the USS Benfold DDG 65 in 1996.
To the new sailors be safe on your journeys, have fun. Keep learning. God is with you! My old spirit 🫶🏾😇is there and I would love to visit again some day. Good vibes.
Have a great day/night.
It’s 17:39pm. I switched pics. These are also on Facebook. 🫤
I remember shaving my head a couple days before boot camp and they still sent me into the barber chair and they ran the clippers through my head, so yeah, probably don't bother shaving your head before going you'll just be wasting money and also in the galley in the first couple weeks, you were reading your general orders in line so if you didn't have them memorized before boot camp you will after those first two weeks, you're reading them nonstop
agreed on both, but it helps out if you know them before hand
I didn’t speak up back then, but I am clearing things up about it now!
This what I looked like in my sailor uniform. I’ll leave it up for awhile. 😄
Thank you so much for all your videos. I know they will be very helpful when I ship out for basic next month.
Glad it was helpful!
And I was awakening spiritually and I worked, I would go to gym and exercise, and it lead me back to Great Lakes., mentally. I am keeping myself grounded at this moment.
Hope your day is well , did you eat?💖. being apart of 2 different companies, we took a lot of pictures, we were in our dress whites. I do have a picture of myself in uniform where I don’t smile, that picture is in black and white. My brother companies were 352 and 374. I’m staying off Facebook too for awhile. I know I’ve been getting hacked. So it feels safer here. Anyways, I know you have a busy schedule,chat with you later🩷
Thanks for your videos. My son shipped last week and these videos are oddly comforting to me lol. 😅❤
I'm so glad!
I married a Navy man in 1995 , Great Lakes.
Divorced in 2020. We are still good friends.
If someone bully’s you in basic training, make sure you speak up about it. I was bullied in basic training in 1995. Its Allgood.
My ship out date is on January 1. Very nervous but I’m excited, but what really worries me is the 11 general orders and memorizing them word for word 😅
I had an epiphany, I received my marksmanship medal. I got something certificate/ribbon for being a 3rd class rescue diver, as I am remembering.
I went through basic training in 1982. I retired in 2005 as a Master Chief. Basic training isn't that hard if you keep a positive attitude, mind your own business when required, don't attract attention, and help out your fellow recruits when necessary. Divisions are a team. If you or someone else fails the whole division fails. Yes, you are graded as an individual but teamwork is paramount in basic training. Your training does not end once Bootcamp is finished. Many will go onto other schools specific to their rate or job in the Navy. Much has changed in 40+ years since I went to Great Lakes, but much hasn't. The bottom line is getting Sailors to the Fleet that are basically trained and squared away. The Fleet is everything. Make the most of it and you will find it rewarding.
Thanks for the advice Chief 😊
I love these; brings back memories of my time at Great Mistakes😂 February ’05. Quick question though. Never been a user of any kind, but what about CBD for sleep aids etc. would those pop?
I’m ready to go in so bad my ship date is sept 20th
Goodluck brother you got this 💪🏼
i go to meps sunday
I ship on the 30th this month pretty excited/nervous
You guys got this, its mostly all mental. Be ready for the DEP test as well.
Good Luck!
I shipped out on the 26th of March of this year graduated two weeks ago and the thing is for the urinalysis is that nobody watched us go which was surprising and confusing because I thought there was always someone that was supposed to watch but when we went there was nobody doing that still puzzles me to this day
How long have you been an RDC & do you plan on remaining one the rest of your time in? Also, what was your rate prior to training recruits?
I still maintain that jumping into that pool the first time was the scariest thing I've ever done. Not great with heights and am a mediocre to poor swimmer on a good day. Still managed to make myself do it though.
Video recommendation I had to go through the whole process of picking a new job and I had to retake the asvab because I didn’t qualify for it. A lot of websites give false or outdated scores like IS I scored a 70 with above average line scores and barely got it. I think a video explaining updated scores etc
I have never heard of someone having to retake an ASVAB before. Definitely will look into it and make a video on it. Thanks!
I can do no more than maybe 25-30 pushups. Will that be enough to pass the baseline PFA? Or will it be enough to get recycled to another division? I'm hoping to ship out by the end of the month.
What do you do with the recruits who just say, "This isn't for me"? Do you try and get them to stay or ASMO them?
When I went through in October they used the moment of truth as an amnesty for anyone that pissed hot for THC. Recruits would only get processed out for THC if they didn’t admit to it during the moment of truth. Recruits with certain rates would still get re-rated even if they admitted to it though, someone in my division got de-nuked and had to re-rate after admitting to smoking marijuana and testing positive for THC.
I’m not sure if that amnesty is still in place so it’s probably not a good idea to show up to bootcamp with THC in your system.
It seemed like the rules on that changed weekly. best to just stay clean.
I graduated bootcamp in 2001, and all female div's was a normal thing. I remember seeing an intergrated division before i graduated and we were like....dammit we came in too early lol!!! It was pretty rough not seeing women for all those weeks!
Yes. I do not have the access anymore like I did as a RDC on computers. But i remember it had been a hot minute since that had happened. So i was happy to be part of the process
Somebody asked this because I served:
"Does everybody in the military have a tattoos?" My answer is it seems to be so...
When my son was getting ready to go in and we watched countless videos from countless creators...
We noticed almost everybody has got some sort of ink
99% of people in boot camp had them
I'm the weirdo that actually never got any ink while I was in or even had any beforehand.
they got goggles on we dont get those 😂
Me neither!
im nervous about the run time i’ve been running and practicing everyday
Focus on your fitness and health, and you will be fine
RDCs kinda chunky. When I went to boot camp in 98 there weren't any chunky RDCs. Guess times have changed.
In this video yes, but it was not a social norm while I was there. It was highly influenced to have a healthy lifestyle while I was a RDC
Going in September 5 I’m not worried about a damn thing 😂
You will be fine. Buy into everything and do your best.
Good morning. Part of a key to success is…consistency!/Communication.
I 🫡 salute you.
True story (2018) a navy helicopter/aircraft found me at an old job (krogers grocery). I wanted to let you know that. And another navy helicopter found me at waffle house 2nd job. Moving forward.
just based on the comment at 5:15 they shouldn't still be wearing masks and I say that because I was in A school in great lakes and I know we followed the same regulations on masks as RTC. When I left great lakes in fall of 2022 (graduated boot camp september of '21) we weren't wearing masks or if we were it was for like 2-3 weeks and we took em right back off so I highly doubt they are currently wearing masks unless they still quarantine at the beginning of boot camp.
what was A school in great lakes like? im an EM and my a school is there
Good to know! I just do not see it as an important factor when it comes to training.
Will the RDCs know if the recruit is prior service
Yes, if they are, they will not go through what you see here. They are known as NAVET (Navy Veteran) OSVET (Other Service Veteran). They go through a completely different training routine with respect of their prior service.
Yo bro so when do you take your preliminary pfa I ship out September 5
you technically have 3 PFA's during bootcamp. Your pacer test done on P-5 (usually), RDC assessment done middle of bootcamp, and your first official PFA done before you go to Battle Stations
@@askardc thanks bro I’m ready for it 🫡
See you soon Austin I’m September 5 as well
@@oxsdream2533 most def bro 🫡
I will see you guy out there! 🫡
We did urinalysis like 3 days in
I'm kind of surprised that the military, given how undermanned it is, hasn't switched to a saliva based test. That seems to be the trend amongst employers who still have to drug test for marijuana by law, but don't want to loose people who smoked weed over a month ago. Plus the results come back MUCH faster. It's a matter of minutes versus days.
If you are talking about drug tests, then I do not have enough knowledge about the process nor the reasoning as to why the Navy sticks to urinalysis. But it has been that way since I have been in.
@@askardc I get it. I also work for a telecom company and we're required to drug test in Colorado and other states where weed is legal on a state basis. The only way my company can meet numbers is by doing saliva tests, which meet federal requirements, because otherwise we'd have too many people fail because they smoked three weeks ago.
Results also come by much faster (10 mins or less) so it's nice to know that we don't have to waste our time on applicants who can't pass.
they don’t separate people who pop on the drug test anymore
I think having people do strenuous exercise with a cloth mask on limiting the oxygen needed to accommodate the output is grossly unfair. Professional athletes struggle to do it let alone a regular person attempting the same feat.
Going November15 😫
Ayyy I’m also going November 15th. Great Lakes, Illinois. I’ll see you there! Lol
@@Zendion_ 🎉 great!
I probably won’t know it’s you, but you’ll be there somewhere. 🤣
@@Zendion_ what’s your instagram?
I hate the drug test, because, I always have an issue peeing on the clock. If they can cath me I would prefer that.
The good news is they usually give you quite some time to provide a sample. Gives you time to drink so much water you HAVE to pee.
@@askardc i know, I have had many of that in my naval career.
Pretend you're on a spaceship, peacefully gliding through space, all alone, with all the time in the world. There. Don't you need to pee now? I know I do.
It’s amazing how people use others videos and change them up with narration to get views.
RUclips thief’s.
When i went to bootcamp in 2015, every RDC and sailor there were wearing NWUs, nobody was wearing NSUs, i wonder why in other videos i see NSUs, but not when i went
Rules change often. Personally could not state why that was during that time. But there may have been a standard uniform change during that time. It depends on the triad in charge of the time. For example, NSU's were standard for us until the pandemic hit. They then said NWU's no matter what.
