Top 2 ways to Dominate in Boot Camp!
1. Do exactly what you are told to do exactly when you are told to do it.
2. Do exactly what you are told to do exactly when you are told to do it.
Don't speak unless being directly told
The first rule is we dont talk about fight club
.. the second rule is
For all you kids asking boot camp questions, show up and be ready to follow instructions to the T.. boot camp is simple, the fleet is where things get difficult... boot camp is where you have everything done for you, your told when your getting up, and even have someone get you up, chow is already cooked and ready for you to come eat, school is pre planned and even your free time is already planned out for you...you don't have to do much of anything except learn how to follow directions without being told twice... boot camp isn't scary...all your doing is learning the basics of walking and talking like a sailor... when you get from boot camp and A school then you have a general idea of what you are supposed to be doing and how to act when you show up at your command...just pay attention and follow directions and youll be invisible..don't listen to what I said and you'll stick out and RDC's will motivate you to follow instructions...have a great time and great lakes..
But I guess you're not told which your/you're is correct.
corn chips You are correct. The Navy will tell you which is correct. Or, over all. The Military will tell you.
So it’s not hard? I ship out next month.. ur saying I shouldn’t be nervous?
Thanks for the insight! I’m enlisting active at 35 with a family, this helps me so much! Half my family is from Alabama, what part are you? Roll tide!
I’m 14 and I’m trying to get ready for rotc I think it’s called and I was lowkey nervous about it but now that I read this I think I’m less scared idk why I’m worrying but I just want my fitness to be in check for then
I’m not even enlisted in the navy and I watch these videos lol
good hahaha glad to have you here! #CivilianSquad
You look good do what you like
Dude you tell me. I’m not even american! Lol
I'm not even American ha ha
Hopefully going to meps this month
The “probably sounded weird, it is the navy” Lmao
How to dominate boot camp:
*schlurp* *schlurp*
#1: do what you're told. #2: show initiative and motivation
I'm sure the petty officers were trying really hard not to laugh😂
oh I'm sure they were laughing behind closed doors haha
Drug addicts be like: "I don't have to have this. I just have it because I enjoy the way it makes me feel"
While serving as an RCC (Today they are RDC’s) One lecture I gave to my Recruits was “If I know your name without having to look at the name tape on your uniform, you had better think about why that is! It is probably not for a good reason!” MM1 USNR (Ret)
To be honest that really makes no sense.
He's basically saying that if he knows your name without needing to look at your name tag you've been on his radar, you screwd up quite a bit and will be yelled at more often than others
That prolly sounded weird, pause, it is the navy 😭
3:19 minecraft eating and drinking sounds 😂
I was the clown in boot camp as well. In the galley I would always quietly exclaim "mmmmmm" as I ate, increasingly louder as it went on. The other recruits weren't laughing and mostly were scared the RDC would think it was them
Dick move 😂😂
imma do this lmaoo.
I swore in on Tuesday and leaving for boot camp on May 13!!! Super nervous and trying to prepare as much as possible..got 2 months gonna binge these videos. Thank you!!
How’d it go?
How'd it go
How'd it go?
@@Isaiahalba holy shit it’s been a ride. I’ve got 2 years left in stead of 2 months from my previous comment. Boot camp is not hard. I wasn’t in shape when I went in and I was fine. The po will push you and chiefs will encourage you. Better make a friend bc your gonna need the emotional support. I don’t care how hard you think you are your gonna need someone.
@@jerryala1764I’m swearing in soon buddy. Maybe I’ll see you out there before your time is up.
"Do a bunch of weird stuff to each other..."
*"It is the Navy.."*
Hahahaha, can’t imagine how you were shy in the bootcamp. You seem like a more outgoing and motivate person now. Thank you for all the great videos.
I appreciate it!
Weapons PO's for the win! It's always nice to wake up every 2 hours for watch changes and having your lunch interrupted because no one knows how to use a weapon even though the directions are on a 3 foot tall board right next to the change station. 😂
Firstly: this guys accent and way of speaking is so freaking amazing
Second
4:40 and I’m wHEEZING At tgat storyyy
Leave for Boot camp in a few Hours. God got Me🙏🏾☝🏾
How was it?
Where are you now? Are you dead yet?
@@tonythegreat4275 Give him time to answer, he's still chewing crayons
Wonder how he’s doing now
Damn he never responded again it’s been 2years
I recommend getting in shape a few months before you move to RTC. I went there in such good shape that physically it was to easy.
Do you have any tips or work out regimes that could help. Or meal plans!
@@hehexd6662 I ate whatever I wanted. Jogged a lot and kept doing pushups and situps till I got stronger and stronger. I continued to get stronger all through boot camp. Graduated in the best shape ever in my life. I was a specimen. Now 42 years later I'm a living lump on the couch
You are definitely the most helpful sailor currently (more than jt dwk and Nicky)also, Oh my fuckin lord that uniform is so damm beautiful! Road to 10k keep em coming
Thanks my guy! 🙏🏻 and yes I love this uniform a lot more than the blue NWU
I have to pass the ASVAB first math is the part I struggle the most but I have faith that I will pass it 😁 I’m studying and preparing for boot camp so I don’t wait the last minute!
He actually better then jt
Tyler Hayes you take that back
@@Locopueblo he is and he has better content
lol i laughed at this whole convo. Thanks though I appreciate it!
These bullshit videos are gonna earn you a blanket party...do what you are told, nothing more, nothing less.
Jt is immature imo.
the beginning is so calming with mug and all it feels like the beginning of an art video
I laughed so hard when he said “bag nasty” 😂😂😂😂
I was in usmc bootcamp,we were listening to a brassbelt di speak about the history of the corps,a recruit farted,... The di put his campaign cover back on and snapped an order. He told the recruit to suck up all that evil nastiness and go blow it out the rear hatch. Well he did what was told but it cracked us all up,needless to say we pushed.
One of the recruits starting dating my drill Sargent daughter when I was in bootcamp
Thanks for this I'm sixteen now but time flew too fast I got scared and I started to look at these videos I'm planning to join when I'm eighteen, and this really calmed me down the things you said is the things I usually do thanks you be safe.
Everyone I've talked to says to not volunteer for anything and to keep your head down and get through it. Why does everyone hate volunteering?
Because sometimes you will get crap work and sometimes you will get rewarded
Because when your the MAA and you get beat down because the 78 other dudes cant aim their piss into the toilet...or shed their pubes all over the place....you'll thank this advice
@@jayburrow7826 that's 78 dudes that need their ass kicked imo
Thank you for all the info about boot camp. I was support nervous about it up until a few weeks ago. I finish school in May and go straight to boot camp God willing. Can't wait and again thank you Austen!
I’m a skinny guy I’m getting prepared right now for boot camp my goal is to be ready after 4 months. I’m super passionate and patriotic I’m ready to get after it. I don’t care about the money I don’t care about people on the streets respecting me. I’m doing this because I love my HOME OF THE BRAVE!! I’m biggest American I know
It’s been 4 months good luck
@@brookerasmussen2921 they turned me down at meps because they wanted me to get tested for autism
@@ChildOfGod6477how about now
I graduated about 1 -2 years ago and im only watching this now, The first tip I heard from many friends who graduated prior to me going to boot and it is a Must to follow. I also had some what of initiative because I volunteered for section lead but was not chosen but about 2 weeks later my petty officers decided to give me the role after one of our section leaders was set back.
I leave for Great Lakes 20190507!
Brice V Rodgers well I’ll see you there I’m going June 10th
Ripperoni
20190417 see you soon
Im going to LWOOD, same day as you
20190522 🙌
prior service here: i appreciate you stating that the military is not like boot camp but the military on steroids... this is big facts. Super incredible chill intellectual individuals in service
AF in 1961, the tallest were in front and shortest drag up the rear. In the chow hall in boot camp, no one dared to make a sound.
The Navy is strong in this one.
You're a good man! My daughter ships 10-1. THANKS FOR DOING THESE VIDEOS!
+Maybe Sou awesome! best of luck to her!
i got here from watching stolen valor videos and here is my 2 cents on basic training from an army perspective. he is 100% correct about the "do what you are told part". i do slightly disagree on the showing initiative part though. my second way to "survive" basic training would be to "blend". i would say the top 85% of our class was treated about the same, volunteering only got you more work. the bottom 15% were definitely singled out and pushed harder than the rest of us. I would also add a number 3. and that is to understand your drill sergeants. understand that their goal is to graduate as many people as possible, and work as little as possible. lol, "work as little as possible". we had all 3 of our platoons drill sergeants working 14 hours a day for the first 3 weeks, 6 days a week.
Love when austen slurps drinks his drink u make me laugh every time i hear this story
6'3 230..big boi. Thanks for your informative videos, really helped with what to expect. I'm getting all my transcripts and stuff together to join soon, it's been a process. Studying the asvab (learning hs all over again) like crazy. I'm 30, 6'6 225, so I can imagine I'll be in the back. My bro just reenlisted; He was on the Carter Hall as a QM and now a Riverine. Been telling me for a while to join and I'm motivated af now. Thanks again for making these vids, helps a lot amigo
whatsup G! Dang you're tall af!! I thought 6'3 was tall haha you will be fine. the ASVAB isn't bad but it is good to study. What rate are you going for?
@@AustenAlexander so went through with the asvab and background, everything checked out except my past tickets. Didn't know the navy considered all driving infractions starting at 15. So going to reapply, my bro has a better recruiter. Hope all is well sir!
Asvab examination this nov 7 for the navy. Nervous 😂 can’t wait to be in the navy 🔥
ayeee good luck!!!
Did you pass
Did u pass?
Dominate navy boot camp?
Show up.
When I went to boot camp in 87. San Diego the company commander made me the gear locker po. I handed out cleaning supplies and never had to clean anything except the gear locker.😂
I thought your accent was familiar! I’m from bama too. You’re videos are extremely helpful btw. I’m hoping to join the navy sometime in the next year 💙
Really becoming a fan of yours. You're very interesting, dedicated and funny. Supa!
i appreciate it!
Thank you for this Austen. I go to bootcamp in a month from now!
“It is the navy” 😂
Love your videos. Always been on the hinge of enlisting and not. I for sure am going to enlist before the end of the summer
My dad was in the NAVY as a medic as a First Class for 12 and a half years, he was retired due to a brain tumor, but he's only 37 and well now, but he said it was fun, I might join, but I am only eleven.
So in order to survive boot camp I have to make noises during meal time and get my boi in trouble by creating sound effects? Got it! Thanks 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks!
Good vid bro the navy is a very convincing route for me to take thanks for the info 💪
You know you want to!!
Can you make a video on the best workouts that will help someone when they enter bootcamp?
Air chairs get there!
This was helpful , can’t wait to take my asvb and join
Another amazing video man you never surprise me👍🏼
Thanks my dude 💪🏼💪🏼
I’m planning on enlisting in the navy with my MO being law enforcement... but first I must practice running
May I cut in Austen, I want to also say be careful who you listen too! Austen went through Bootcamp more recently so listen to him. I went through in 1989. My Bootcamp was very different to what they are doing now!
Thanks for your videos they r really informative!!! 😄
You remind me of Captain America🇺🇸
Kiasia Bassett ahhahaha I thought I’m the only one who thinks the same ahahah
😂😂😂
I leave December 8th 😅 nervous as HELL but I’m ready
Half a shot of caffeine 😂
Got damn bacon on your shirt sir!
Tyler Spear This makes me think their has to be another term. Lol it doesnt even look like bacon anymore 😂
I was told from someone who used to be in the Navy, to not volunteer for anything during Boot Camp. That was the only tip she gave me.
How's the physical part
3:25 bro you weren’t lieing about being that guy in high school 😂 even I do that
Leaving on June 4 this year. Wish me luck
I leave for boot December 14th. Excited but stressed.
Great vid thanks brother, I’m joining the navy straight out of high school to be an nfo so I may not need boot camp but still great to know
That’s awesome...good luck! And thanks for the support
Henry Smith You can't be an NFO (Navy flight officer) out of high school. You need a college degree and yes still go to boot camp for officers called OCS.
Insider619 I know I meant to say out of high school I’m going to the college in Maine (I think it’s in Maine) to be an nfo for helicopter flying with after school and OCS school
Henry Smith I hope you do your homework since being selected for Navy flight school is as tough as it gets. You may want to go through the NROTC route to increase your chances and help pay for college.
I’m Med student in Slovakia
And I am originally from iran ( totaly from different world)And I really enjoy watching your videos about boot camp btw I love sara 😍
The first 9:00 minutes is him telling a story about him being obnoxious to a friend while on boot camp.
Leaving in 3 days
BEST OF LUCK
Tell the Lizard King Russell says hello
I live in Bama right now!!
Thanks Austen
Man things have changed from when I was in Bootcamp in 1989!
There is no secret or short cut to basic training. You are not going to learn advanced war fighting skills. It is basic break you of your personal habits and teach you the basics of military life, most of what they teach you in the first half of training you will never use again. It is just stuff to drill Attention to Detail, and Follow Orders and Try your Best. Leave the drama at home, leave the attitude at home. To succeed do not be hte nail that stands out in either a good or bad way. Those who stand out will get hammered. You want to be like camouflage and blend in. Be there to help the entire group succeed, anything you can do to make the group pass or succeed will help everyone pass, making you valuable to everyone else. If you super shine above all others at the cost of others the rest will shun you. You may hate folks your in it with you, its only a short period of time. Suck it up, get through it, dont complain. Its just a game, the stuff dont make sense when your doing it, just do it. Only thing you can really do prior to going to training is do fitness training. Run, Pushups, Situps and whatever else that the services fitness training may have. That is the only pre-training you can really do that will help you at all. The sooner you can reach the fitness standard the easier your life will be, just one less stressful checkbox pass you wont have to worry about.
You and jt have definitely helped
Who else ships October 10th? Heading to meps in a bit
Andreas Kalogitonas I bet you hate life right now.
@@megga0 why?
im a 16 yo female and im looking to join airr next year. ive been working on graduating early to get a jump start on my career. very excited.
I go august 4th ur videos are really helping out 🤙🏾
From the moment the bus gets there, it is all minds game.
random feedback- i liked the style of editing in this video, very cool. would be cool to see more of it
+Andy Quintero I appreciate it! I try to maintain that throughout all of my videos
1:24 i- i-i say boy 😂
Hey thanks it really did kind of clam me down for boot camp but still nervious but I know ill be nervous till I finish and what not
Going to bootcamp on april🤙HOOYAH!
You forgot to mention Austen’s #1 boot camp tip: sleep with your eyes open, literally don’t close your eyes while you’re sleeping. Miss you dude, glad to see you’re doing well. Oh and I 100% remember the Ellsworth eating noises, had me dying.
+Cameron Schluter 😂😂 broooo I was just telling that story today. Good times. I remember our farts were so bad and I would smoke you out 😂😂
Three things I would add are 1: Keep your mouth shut. 2: Never volunteer for anything and 3: Never laugh at the company commander. Number 3 will be the hardest and it caused me a lot of grief. Every time the CC would get in somebody's face and start tap dancing and screaming in 12 octaves it was all I could do to keep from laughing at him because I knew it was all an act. R. Lee Ermey in "Full Metal Jacket" comes to mind. But, I went to RTC San Diego in 1967 and I don't think the Navy does that these days. Now they give you "time out" cards and if somebody hurts your feelings you can sue them and get counseling and attend sensitivity training for the rest of your life.
RPOC Great Lakes Company 512 September 1968. Don't be worried about Boot Camp, just follow what your told and you will survive.
im not in the military but i want to one day enlist but i feel like one thing you could've talked about(only cause i see it alot from other videos an well also military motivation quotes) was not giving up my cousin is in the navy atm an he remembered the only thing that was really keeping him going was he had learned to never give up an keep pushing forward he also dealt with his father always being strict an stern so he said that actually also helped him understand why cause he had to change his mindset from a civilian life to the military like life an i think im going to use that type of motivation to keep me going when/if i decide to join when im done with school
Good Information 🖤👍🏾
You’re a cool dude. Thanks man.
My top two ways, find out what you need o pass for the PFT, practice practice practice it, and practice your shooting!
Trust me, if you can PT and shoot, you'll go a long way in the military!
What sound wisdom; it's definitely one of those "so obvious" things, but it's always good to be reminded of the little things!
Thanks for your service and the advice (I'm planning on joining the Navy soon); God bless! :)
@@andreahenning8076 rah! I might join the Navy after the Marines
@@andreahenning8076 good luck
@@SuperColonel91 Ooo, that would be awesome! Maybe we'll cross paths at some point.
Thanks, you too!

WOOOOWWWWW ‼️ My mind is BLOWN ‼️ I am watching this 4 years later from the EXACT date you posted on Columbus Day : Monday, October 10th, 2K22.
#CONFIRMATIONSTATION 🙏🏾💞
Why isn’t Navy Bootcamp as physically intense as the Marines or Army? Especially if you want to become a SEAL or SWCC?
I’m always the shortest
lmao well that's one way to stretch a youtube vid over 10 mins for the algorithm
A general answer is easier to follow in my opinion
Thanks for advice bro, this helps a lot, I leave for boot camp within 2 days
My two ways when I was in boot camp for very simple don't be the company bug and don't stand out Great Lakes Training Center class of 1994 904 company
No kidding you really got to show initiative.
I'm always starting to wacth ur videos ❤️😍
Thank you 😁
