the first year salary includes ALL food and housing and medical. So compared to what an average 18 year old civilian makes out of high school it is high
yes most cadets dont need to spend a dime while they are enlisted and then come home to find out their wife spent all the money and cheated on them lol.
@@nullakjg767 LOL! Well, most are not stoopid enough to be married that young. That usually comes a few years after being boots. My advice to my sons was don't get married under any circumstances
@@tripsaplenty1227and 13% car loans on a new mustang. Lmao…..my bro had to explain to a younger marine that just because you make X amount a year doesn’t mean go get a car at that price range. If you are living in barracks you should be able to save at a min 1/2 your pay.
They deduct the chow hall out our checks. Unless they changed that since I was in the Army. My entry was $26,000 not $20,000 and that was in 2001. So maybe the pay went up now. They do get more off days now.
I remember my time in Navy boot camp. What they call "IT", we called "getting beat". I went in the middle of winter, our drill instructor had the nick name of "The Rain Maker", because he would work you so hard, condensation would collect on the ceiling, and then rain down on you. Since it was winter, when we were done getting beat, they would open all the windows to the freezing cold. When we first arrived at boot camp, it was the middle of the night during a snow storm and the wind chill temperature was -60 below zero, which calculates to -73 Celsius. Boot camp was quite the experience.
I was in RTC Great Lakes back in ‘94. I remember hearing stories about “The Rain Maker”. I don’t remember what company he was commanding. Was he running IT? I was in Company 94-203 with Petty Officer Simmons. Great CC.
Navy basic training is radically different from when I went through it at Great Lakes from July 1 to August 30, 1985. On day one, I was 6'6" (78 inches, 198 cm) and weighed 250 pounds (113.4 kg). During training, I struggled keeping up with my shipmates and was threatened with being set back in training and being separated from my company. When traveling alone by foot, I was not allowed to walk. My orders were to travel by mandatory double time only. When I fell behind running with my company doing PT (physical training), my CC (Company Commander) chased me with his Bic lighter under my backside until I caught up with the rest of the men. About 6 weeks into training, I had to get reissued new uniforms because they were too loose. Wearing my new tighter uniform, my shipmates teased me by saying I looked "sexy." I graduated on time without getting set back. When I greeted my parents after the ceremony, they didn't recognize me. Proudest day of my life.😊
Orlando '79! Also, if traveling anywhere on base alone you double timed it all the way unless you had a medical chit, at least when I was in. If you had 2 or more you could march in formation with one of the 2 in command. Only 4 of us passed the week one inspection. They allowed us to go to the commissary while they dogged the rest of the unit. They put me in command. Orders were no gedunk and no phone calls we disobeyed both lol.
That was in 1985 and you sound like a boomer to me. I already know the US Navy is running low on recruits if a major war happens with China Do you think yelling is going to convince those getting out of high school or Gen Z to join the US Navy?
Boot camp is hard and is supposed to hurt, but it will make a recruit into a more capable person who is ready for their first duty station. Many people do not understand the 'yelling' aspect of basic, but it serves several good purposes, 1) large groups can hear, 2) attention is guaranteed, 3) priority is set, 4) adjusts the mind for combat or serious stress.
4:47 Well..............been nice knowing you Yass. Let us know when she quits making you sleep outside in the rain and lets you back in the house after that smart remark. Bwahaha! 🤣🤣
I went through Navy boot camp in the mid-80s at RTC San Diego (6 years active service). This brings back many memories. A lot of the terminology has changed i.e. ITE was called Mashing back then and I prefer the latter because it's exactly what it was but I'm biased. The big takeaway for me that was pounded into every one of us every day 24/7: Attention to Detail. It served me well not only onboard the ships I served on on but throughout my life. Discipline, focus, responsibility etc.
Some of the high schools and colleges in the US offer a R.O.T.C program. Reserve Officers Training Corp. These are leadership programs to prepare students to become officers in the military. High School students join the J.R.O.T.C which is the junior program. I was in the N.J.R.O.T.C program for the Navy when I was in high school. We also had a proper aviation program that taught student how to fly aircraft and allowed them to earn a private pilots license. The school also had an after school aircraft maintenance program for adults in the community that wanted to learn a new profession. I didn’t go on to college or continue a carrier to the military. But most of my family did. I instead joined a metal band and toured the US.
I remember getting my Navy ball cap after battle stations. There wasn't a dry eye in that hall. Best part was the meal after battle stations. You name it, it was there in the chow hall. Steak, lobster, crab, burgers, hotdogs and everything else under the sun. Dwight D. Eisenhower CVN 69 2006-2010
Well that brought back some memories. Went through Great Lakes in 1986, company 182. Ended up stationed at NAS Miramar with Squadron VF-154 Black Knights as an AMS/AMH working on F-14 Tomcats. Made 2 West PAC cruises on board CV 64 USS Constellation. Great times, great memories.
Yep, it takes special people to me in our military. If you can't handle yelling, you will never make it....You should see the training the Navy Seals go through!!!
Of course, old men will call for war But you never see Vladimir Putin or Joe Biden on the front lines, If I had a Child would I see you die in wars to fight China? Personally, they already spend billions on the US Navy, and yelling and sexual assault of women in the military and suicide is going to push people away from even participating in the military altogether. If they yell at me Even if we're in a time of war I'm just going to say F the United States and leave the country. Why don't you send the white people old people politicians in Washington DC and in Congress to fight our wars. I can tell you Yelling isn't going to convince me to join the US navy.
What they haven't shown is the amount of receipts that get rejected at the beginning for not following orders. Also for the first two weeks of boot camp, you'll constantly hear ambulances taking recruits to the hospital because they can't handle the physical requirements.
I was in Army 1990-1995 boot camp is to tear you down and build you back up. It’s crucial to be able to survive what might comes during your service. I went to Ft Sill Ok artillery Airborne and Air Assault. I deployed to Desert Storm and these training that sailers and soldiers go thru is to ensure they survive and endure… This was a great in depth video loved watching it.
The shouting and stress part is only the first few weeks. After that the "Red Ropes" know you are going to do what they say and it becomes a totally different experience. Looking back, basic training was kind of fun. Though, "IT" absolutely sucked rocks. I was sore for 4 days after that.
$22k but it's also 3 hots and a cot, full health care, dental, vision, clothing allowance, paid leave, the best training in the world, travel to every corner of the world, plus the privilege of serving your country. That said, this is *_way_* different than my boot camp in Great Lakes, back when there were 3 different boot camps. "Why would Navy sailors need to learn how to fire weapons?" Really??? How about *_because it is a WARSHIP!!_*
I have some good memories after watching this video. I went through training at Great Lakes in 1974 (yeah, I'm old) and a lot has changed. We didn't have the simulators that they have today and damage control and fire fighting were done TAD (temporary additional duty after you completed A-School and when you reported to the fleet. BTW during my four year enlistment I never could swim (still can't) I sink like a rock. The navy was a great experience and was grateful for the privilege of serving in the greatest navy in the world.
My brother, 15 years younger than me, joined the navy and went through this. I had taught him to swim and at 3 he could dive down and touch the drain at bottom of the deep end. He enjoyed boot camp and chose submarines. He was 10 years in the navy . I advised him to stay another 10 so he could retire with a monthly pension. He didn’t do it, and he lived to regret it. He worked at Costco, and it would have meant two paychecks. He would have been 38 after the navy. He is 6’ 2” and he was on attack subs in Groton, Connecticut, Bangor, Washington, San Diego, California, and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
12:46 That actually happened on my ship, the USS Mobile Bay CG-53 (yes, it's a real ship). We were underway (out at sea doing our thing), and one day, during the usual random exercise on the sides of the ship, similar to what's happening here, one of the Seaman Apprentices (undesignated SA) slipped and almost went overboard. Luckily, one of the other Boatswain's Mate Third Class (BM3) caught his arm and prevented it from happening.
This would seem like a vacation to the basic training I went through in the Army in 1967! This is really nothing compare the way it used to be and in the army!
I think you two would like to see the boot camp of the Coast Guard. Not many know of or talk about them like the branches. They are the first defense for US shores, ports, etc. They also enforce US laws and perform maritime rescues. Many joke about them, but i think after you see their boot camp, you'll see they're no push overs... ruclips.net/video/jBtJet6kmZ0/видео.htmlsi=AKBstARU3xy2vCuU
My starting salary in the Army was 550USD a month. I went into the National Guard after 8 years of active duty. After 27 years, I was making about 4K per month as an Infantryman.
USN Retired. OSC ( SW ) AIC 14 years 6 months at sea. Total 20 years 6 months. USS Belleau-Wood LHA-3, USS Tarawa LHA-1, USS Constellation CV-64. Graduated Great Lakes 1989, CO 251. Dam Neck OS A School, Navsta San Diego, US Fleet Activities Sasebo Japan, NAS North Island, & NAS Corpus Christi. Been Everywhere a USN ship can go to from the west coast. Most cases more than once.
$60K a year is avg salary for a sailor, range is $46K-79K. Military of course gets serious benefits including discounts on houses, cars, loans, food and pretty much anything you buy has a military discount.
Their initial pay is low, because most things that civilians have to pay for, food, housing, etc, they don't have to worry about. I knew several enlisted in all branches who ended up with motorcycles and high end cars, etc. All they need to do really is save it. They don't need to spend on most things or pay a reduced cost as a perk of serving.
I bought a stun gun. The first thing i did was stun myself to feel the effect. The effect was so effective that i can easily say i wont stun myself again. That was my Boot Camp.
Salary includes free college (Associate's Degree), free housing and free good food (if you are single and live on base). A single young man that just joined the Navy is actually doing pretty well financially. - The equivalent of $50,000/year, with some social restrictions. It beats the heck out of working at a grocery store. You also get 10% off just about anything you buy in town and a solid month of vacation time every year. Not bad, huh? Also, you can get a loan for almost any car that you want.
the USS Cole was at anchor off Yemen taking supplies when two individuals in a small boat came up to the ship and detonated a bomb causing a massive hole in the side of the ship and killing sailors
Totally off topic, as far as the others' comments but, dude, this is the ONLY time you'll ever hear or see me say this but, you are one of the luckiest (or smartest, nicest, best) guys on the planet, and girl, you are one of the most stunning I've even seen in my life !!! I LOVE 💕both of your reactions, and just had to say this ... it's a Friday night ... I've been drinking ... God bless your relationship ... that is all !!!
Yes, the salary seems low but you have no medical bills, rent/utilities and no food bills unless you eat off of the base/ship. If you don't have a wife/kids, you really have very few bills, maybe a car payment and cell phone bill. If you are married, you get paid more to support the family. And, if you are 'competent,' your pay increases quickly as your rank increases.
The pay is crap the entire time you are in the US Navy. Nobody is gett8ng paid $80K a year unless you are a high ranking officer like a captain or admiral and have served around 20 years.
Things have changed, personally I went to Orlando Florida for boot camp which I guess they closed the doors on it. And the uniform requirements have totally changed as well.
that salary is good because that is just the cash payment. you also get free food, free housing, and so on. so that alone is another $22000 per year. An example is take your current pay you get per year, then deuct your rent amount times 12 months, deduct your food cost per month times 12 months. then see if you have 22000 to spend on what you want?
The salary is low but they get free housing, healthcare, and meals on base so it's essentially take home pay after expenses. So it's not bad if all your other needs are met. You wont' get rich, but you won't starve.
22K per year salary. But you don't have to pay for a house or meals. No utility bills or anything else, it's free. The only thing you have to pay for is your cell phone. So if you don't party your ass off, you can put 70K-75K away in 4 years. In 6 years over 100K.
The idea is to prepare these people for the chaos of combat. They have to learn to convey informatoin under pressure accurately so people don't get killed. It teaches them to focus and not be distracted by loudness or emotion. You have to break them down to build them back up again. That's the US Military way in all branches of the armed services.
Honestly most of the time naval guys get basic and maybe a skill choice. Unfortunately mostly on ships navy always get stuck with the navigation, engineering, and firefighting duties. Marines handle most of the actual fighting onboard. Although navy does have its own weapons. Ships also test new weapons like the Railgun that is being put through every test possible. Every carrier has army, navy, marine, and coast guard rescue at the ready. Inside a ship usually has an office with a single or a team of NCIS officers that handles the law enforcement on the ship with security of course. Honestly being NCIS is a much better job as you are handling big cases just not dealing with too much bull.
You eyeballin' me boy? Hahaha! I made the mistake of laughing at something our Chief said in boot once. - Probably did 1,000 pushups for that. lol When I left Navy boot camp I could do 150 correct pushups in a row in 2 minutes.
For someone starting out in life, it's a sweet deal. Your food is free, your housing is free, your medical is free, your entire cost of living is not only free and you get paid for it. $22,000.00 per year equals $423.00 a week and you have zero cost of living. Show me a better starting opportunity anywhere in the world. It sucks for a short while but the suck ends quickly and the benefits add up faster than the suck.After boot camp life gets pretty good.
I went thru training, not navy though and all they did was scream. It was also the first place I learned to eat fast and swallow my food because you get like 2 minutes to eat. Many years later I still eat fast and swallow my food lol. CS gas isn’t that bad. The grossest part is seeing tons of green snot running from someone’s nose and sometimes it’s really long. Eww. lol. Training in general changes you, makes you more confident, mature, and responsible. It’s a good feeling.
You do not join any branch of the US military for the money, you do so for the pride and honor to protect the US. There are more important things in life than money.
I doubt that. sSome people absolutely do it to get a free college education or because they don't have anything better to do and prefer to be in the military to being homeless without a job
NOW WATCH THE NAVY SEALS TRAINING. IT CAN TAKE 30 MONTHS ON TOP OF THIS TRAINING. IT IS BRUTAL AND EVEN HAVE SAILORS DIE DURING THE TRAINING. THEN AFTER ALL THE TRAINING YOU HAVE TO BE PICKED. SO YOU MAY NOT EVEN BECOME A SEAL AFTER ALL OF THAT.
Pay in the service is all based on rank. - Doesn't matter what you do. There are some jobs in the Navy that you would make way more money doing them as a civilian. It's socialist in that way: No one is "poor", but sometimes you could do way better working for a private corporation. - Depends on your training.
Military pay; typically, increases with rank. Still the pay will never be ha hire as civilian pay. Note: Most people don’t join to get rich. As an old veteran I can say that the military has gotten soft.
the first year salary includes ALL food and housing and medical. So compared to what an average 18 year old civilian makes out of high school it is high
That’s actually really good if that’s the case
yes most cadets dont need to spend a dime while they are enlisted and then come home to find out their wife spent all the money and cheated on them lol.

Salary includes free college (Associate's Degree), free housing and free good food (if you are single and live on base). A single young man that just joined the Navy is actually doing pretty well financially. - The equivalent of $50,000/year, with some social restrictions. It beats the heck out of working at a grocery store. You also get 10% off just about anything you buy in town and a solid month of vacation time every year. Not bad, huh? Also, you can get a loan for almost any car that you want.
Favorite punishment by our RDC: You have 30 seconds to eat; go! I found out that I can clear a plate of food in 30 seconds.
Your pay increase is based on rank, the first 2 are automatic, but E4 and above you have to pass knowledge testing for that rank leadership as well.
I was in back in 2017 and I seen some of the same petty officers and chiefs that were there when I went in 😂
The swim is easy. It's like the boy scout swim test
Excellent video.
the USS Cole was at anchor off Yemen taking supplies when two individuals in a small boat came up to the ship and detonated a bomb causing a massive hole in the side of the ship and killing sailors
Totally off topic, as far as the others' comments but, dude, this is the ONLY time you'll ever hear or see me say this but, you are one of the luckiest (or smartest, nicest, best) guys on the planet, and girl, you are one of the most stunning I've even seen in my life !!! I LOVE 💕both of your reactions, and just had to say this ... it's a Friday night ... I've been drinking ... God bless your relationship ... that is all !!!
Ohh so this is where my banks customer service rep moonlights at in her off time
I knew I knew that broken voice from somewhere
Remember, they get housing and food often aside from that pay, if they live on base.
Y’all need to check out B.U.D.S, now that is painful training.. I mean yes it’s for special operations but that is truly brutal training
Yes, the salary seems low but you have no medical bills, rent/utilities and no food bills unless you eat off of the base/ship. If you don't have a wife/kids, you really have very few bills, maybe a car payment and cell phone bill. If you are married, you get paid more to support the family. And, if you are 'competent,' your pay increases quickly as your rank increases.
I remember going through this, keep in mind there are nicer when that camera is on
The pay is crap the entire time you are in the US Navy. Nobody is gett8ng paid $80K a year unless you are a high ranking officer like a captain or admiral and have served around 20 years.
I went through remedial swim training. I didn’t mind, I got more pool time.
Things have changed, personally I went to Orlando Florida for boot camp which I guess they closed the doors on it. And the uniform requirements have totally changed as well.
that salary is good because that is just the cash payment. you also get free food, free housing, and so on. so that alone is another $22000 per year. An example is take your current pay you get per year, then deuct your rent amount times 12 months, deduct your food cost per month times 12 months. then see if you have 22000 to spend on what you want?
The salary is low but they get free housing, healthcare, and meals on base so it's essentially take home pay after expenses. So it's not bad if all your other needs are met. You wont' get rich, but you won't starve.
The good ole days
...I started at 250 pounds and graduated at 218. I was in the best shape of my life. 😊
Pay in the military isn't necessarily based off of what you do. It's more based off of your rank.
There we go, if you wanna learn how to swim then you should just join the Navy 😂
22K per year salary. But you don't have to pay for a house or meals. No utility bills or anything else, it's free. The only thing you have to pay for is your cell phone. So if you don't party your ass off, you can put 70K-75K away in 4 years. In 6 years over 100K.
He says they can take anyone, but they won't take me because I have a intramedullary rod in my femur.
The idea is to prepare these people for the chaos of combat. They have to learn to convey informatoin under pressure accurately so people don't get killed. It teaches them to focus and not be distracted by loudness or emotion. You have to break them down to build them back up again. That's the US Military way in all branches of the armed services.
They yell at you 24/7 for about 7 weeks. They get less mean toward the end.
Old saying “chain is only as strong as its weakest link”
If you can't stand shouting, how are you gonna survive the noise & confusion of combat?
Honestly most of the time naval guys get basic and maybe a skill choice. Unfortunately mostly on ships navy always get stuck with the navigation, engineering, and firefighting duties. Marines handle most of the actual fighting onboard. Although navy does have its own weapons. Ships also test new weapons like the Railgun that is being put through every test possible. Every carrier has army, navy, marine, and coast guard rescue at the ready. Inside a ship usually has an office with a single or a team of NCIS officers that handles the law enforcement on the ship with security of course.
Honestly being NCIS is a much better job as you are handling big cases just not dealing with too much bull.
Than yall should react to navy seal and other special forces training.
You eyeballin' me boy? Hahaha! I made the mistake of laughing at something our Chief said in boot once. - Probably did 1,000 pushups for that. lol When I left Navy boot camp I could do 150 correct pushups in a row in 2 minutes.
For someone starting out in life, it's a sweet deal. Your food is free, your housing is free, your medical is free, your entire cost of living is not only free and you get paid for it. $22,000.00 per year equals $423.00 a week and you have zero cost of living. Show me a better starting opportunity anywhere in the world. It sucks for a short while but the suck ends quickly and the benefits add up faster than the suck.After boot camp life gets pretty good.
My 25 year old son works for Google and is paid more than everyone in the Navy. There is something wrong with that.
Yea they definitely don’t make enough
I went thru training, not navy though and all they did was scream. It was also the first place I learned to eat fast and swallow my food because you get like 2 minutes to eat. Many years later I still eat fast and swallow my food lol. CS gas isn’t that bad. The grossest part is seeing tons of green snot running from someone’s nose and sometimes it’s really long. Eww. lol. Training in general changes you, makes you more confident, mature, and responsible. It’s a good feeling.
Went through this in 1984. Does not seem that long ago.
The seas a harsh mistress.
Yass, you should teach Fats how to swim.
This is the easiest boot camp too.
You need to understand other than the pay. They don't have to pay for nothing. No pay to live. They don't have to pay for food nothing.
Looks like a cake walk compared to 93 basic in Orlando. Don’t get me wrong, 93 basic was pretty easy itself but this was nothing.
I did a lot of pushups on that fake ship. ;)
Navy basic training is a joke compared to what Marines go through.
Ya'll should react tobritish cuple shoot a gun for the first time
that with housing and food free plus base pay
Check out Navy Seals training
Watch BUDS training. Awesome
You see what is allowed!
You do not join any branch of the US military for the money, you do so for the pride and honor to protect the US. There are more important things in life than money.
I doubt that. sSome people absolutely do it to get a free college education or because they don't have anything better to do and prefer to be in the military to being homeless without a job
Fats is correct pay is starting , the ones who test real high go straight to officer school
NOW WATCH THE NAVY SEALS TRAINING. IT CAN TAKE 30 MONTHS ON TOP OF THIS TRAINING. IT IS BRUTAL AND EVEN HAVE SAILORS DIE DURING THE TRAINING. THEN AFTER ALL THE TRAINING YOU HAVE TO BE PICKED. SO YOU MAY NOT EVEN BECOME A SEAL AFTER ALL OF THAT.
Watch the navy seal training
This didn't seem like much boot camp training to get in the navy. Surely, there's got to be more to the boot camp than this.
Pay in the service is all based on rank. - Doesn't matter what you do. There are some jobs in the Navy that you would make way more money doing them as a civilian. It's socialist in that way: No one is "poor", but sometimes you could do way better working for a private corporation. - Depends on your training.
Military pay; typically, increases with rank. Still the pay will never be ha hire as civilian pay. Note: Most people don’t join to get rich. As an old veteran I can say that the military has gotten soft.
They also dont film to avoid showing the ships interior. They show nothing at all.
22k.. food and housing and other stuff free? yeah it's high not low(pure savings)
