For those who may be wondering, boot camp is not that calm. I can promise you that. 2:25, that is AT1 Ovalle. She was my RDC, Div 320. She was calm when explaining something, but the moment you messed up what she clearly explained to you or if you misswrote one thing in her weapons log, then may God have mercy on your soul.
Understand this video only shows the "downtime" as you are getting close to graduation. The first half of boot camp is constant yelling. You got to earn the respect of your rdcs
Yeah, I seem to remember my RDCs being a lot louder, and, more... enthusiastic, let's say. If I ever said, "Okay, Chief" that quietly, I'd still be in the front leaning rest position!
I went through Great Lakes in June-August 1978. We weren't yelled at, a lot, for the first couple of days,but my Company Commanders didn't pur up with any nonsense. A couple of guys tried to go over the hill, the first night.It was A Good experience for me; it made a man out of me.Chief Regan and Petty Officer Coleman, where ever, you are, thanks. You made a difference , and thank you very much.
lol i was in boot camp for a month already when this video was made. depending on your RDCs they're not as nice as they were in this video. but after awhile they do ease up and are more approachable
TBH Yeah the RDC's can be hard asses and this video was very tame compared to how RDC's actually are. The RDC's I had were pretty cool unless we fucked up... Which was even worse because when we pissed them off we got our asses kicked extra hard.
understand that this was probably filmed towards the end of their bootcamp. the first few weeks are constant craziness. also, those shirt stacks were crappy lol
I went through in 1966. RTC was totally diferent. They rebuiltt the entire base since then. I stayed in Ww2 barracks called camp Barry for my in procssing. We also had to wear khaki coloref leggings.
The Navy like the Air Force have come a long ways since the days I went into boot camp in 1968. We lived in wood WWII barracks and had bunk beds to sleep on. We had a foot locker at the end of our bed and didn't walk in the middle of the floor for fear of having to clean and buff the floor again. It was the same when we went to tech school also and when I went back to Lackland AFB for recruiting school they had the new barracks which is old now and probably destroyed now and even newer complexes built there.
Awesome! My dad went through there in 1961, pre dating the campaign cover. He told me about the same barracks you stayed in and how they would have inspections and you’d see a foot locker sail right out the window.
I’m in this video and believe me when I say bootcamp is not like this. We were yelled before the video because we needed to behave and not fck things up. We were yelled after the video because we were trash and an embarrassment for our RDCs. I was constantly being dropped to do push-ups or IT for the stupidest reasons. This is not what bootcamp was 5yrs ago when they filmed this.
@@Vanderlay77 I was Division 200 1995. They sure don't make them line they use too. Remember always having a pair of dungarees that were broken in and very comfortable?
Some military terms not usually explained well ; 1. "gudtuhgo" = "Good to go" formally a tern used when checking troops before embarkation.2. "widguhdidguh" = Another way to say "With you, did you ?." A term used when a Training Instructor needs to find out if you followed instructions. So he would say, "Recruit, you didn't bring that swab and bucket widguhdidguh ?3. "dah-gone", when an instructor doesn't cuss, he says "da-gone" instead of god damn. 4. "gitchur" as in "gitchur ass over here."
They were company commanders when I went thru Orlando in 1992, and they would peel your face off when you screwed up. So neat how many behavior and discipline issues were fixed in boot camp.
Recruits who hold leadership positions within the division are given temporary, e-4 and above, metal collar devices to pin to their blue, digital camo Navy Working Uniforms to represent their position within the division. Outside of boot camp, metal collar devices are never worn with NWU's, and it is not possible for a recruit to be above e-3 while in boot camp. Recruits can be meritoriously advanced to e-3 while there, but must spend 6 months as an e-3 to be eligible for e-4
Some of them are recruits. Recruits would be given special assignments at RTC, which granted them authorization to wear the Petty Officer's Crow. Not sure how long they've done that at RTC, but I know they've been doing it well before I enlisted back in 2007.
Went to bootcamp at Glakes many moons ago....did absolutely no PT unless you messed up...then you went to Happy Hour where you ran around the inside of a gym with your rifle over your head.. ahh fond memories.
Went Jan 23, 2002. That place sure has changed. When I was there there was a lot of construction goin' on for the newer Navy. The OG Barracks were the shit though LOL
This is a pilot for recruiting for the Navy. Of course they aren't going to show RDC's going crazy on recruits. This is not what boot camp is trust me. The second class is actually one of the top RDC's on this base at this point
No problem, there are smaller leadership positions that don't get collar devices, but important ones that lead divisions do. If you have any other questions I can always help.
Where's the yelling? Where's the getting dropped? Where's the KNIFEHANDING? Where's the RDC screaming in your faces? Are you sure this is Navy boot camp and not a summer camp??? The Army and the Marines are gonna laugh their asses off when they see this.
I really wish that they showed it like how it actually is. I'm planning on going after I finish my senior year of high school and I just want to get an idea of what it's like.
That's the thing, they never show you the actual level of intensity of it. Every video I've seen, even the USMC, they pull back on their yelling and screaming just a tad bit...to give new recruits false hope and coming in overconfident...
you do get yelled at in navy bootcamp. this is downtime. and most likey tords the end of camp. first couple of weeks you get yelled at tords the end its more clam
Most chill RDCs ever. No one in the division sounded off, they talked in the height line, they weren't sitting at attention and their racks were unsat as fuck
I had EMC Timm, IT2 Marshalsea and EO1 Perez. Won the Captian's Cup and 2nd in the training group, I think 812 or something beat us. I knew some from 145, I was in NATTC Pensacola but got separated three weeks ago.
The recruits in the end are UNSAT. Are they supposed to have backpacks or not? Are they supposed to have their training guides or not? we would have gotten screamed at for the kind of non-uniformity.
Graduated Fall 1995 DIV 384...From what I was told, they curved the cussing, dropping and double timing for lone recruits around the base and gave everyone stress cards if they felt stressed. I could not see my time in boot camp being this "soft and gentle"...or quiet!!!
the cussing, while less, is stilll there. you still get dropped, only they wait till you get back to the compartment. and ive never heard of a stress card. the closest thing to that is SEPS lol.
+Chris Franklin thank God...It's just that these videos are pretty much leading to that...We did not have it THIS calm in boot camp! Not that I wanted it "nice and sweet"...the RDC's were in our asses, Rain Man, IT at 0300, you name it...discipline made me into the man I am today and I'm grateful.
agreed. And i think part of why it's dumbed down id's because a lot of people nowadays ( myself included) probably wouldn't have joined if they knew what they were getting into before hand.
this is bootcamp?,shit I'll enlist!,Oh wait I cant they are to nice and I'm 63,my boot camp was not like this.Our company commander would get a sandwhich at the country club while we were at fire fighting training. wonder if CCwebb is still alive..old goat
Honestly no offenses, but the integrated divisions were a joke they were absolutely softer and more of a joke. I was in an all male division in ship 14. It was marine or coast guard level boot, but it was more than I expected. Two friends of mine who were asmo'd and sent to integrated divisions confirmed that they were indeed different and much less aggressive. Hell one of em even mentioned stress cards, which were not anywhere present in my ship.
My memories of RTC, Great Lakes are A LOT different! We did not get all the touchy-feely, hand holding. Chief Smith loved to "make it rain". Turn the heat WAY up in the compartment, make us put on our heavy jackets, and, then, he'd PT the living shit out of us!
went to GLNTC in 57, 9 weeks lot different then old ww2 barracks Had a 1st class po for a DI then went to Norfolk USS Mt Mckinley agc 7 then forget evey thing you learnd in boot camp stow our gear in aluminum lockers abot 2" square and i no particlar order they should do in boot camp what they do in the real Navy forget about stowing your gear in neat little piles and teach what is really needed aboard ship no pomp and circumstance aboard a ship I can say this I went in a boy but I came out a man
They try making it more like a ship, which is why galleys are in the "ship", PT is also held indoors at the gym, things of that nature. The coffin locker makes sense, so they can learn to stow their uniforms properly.
They're not whining, they're comparing. The "politically correct" Navy is now for a bunch of pussies. No more carousing and drinking like we did years ago
They probably acted like this because of the cameras... Gotta make it look nice and easy to entice people to join only for them to have a rude wake up call.
Anybody watching this thinking this is actually how boot camp goes, lol its not, you think they are going to show you how hard it is? No they want you surprised when you get there. I just graduated Feb 9th and these videos are lies compared to how it actually is.
I seen smart ass do a perfect bunk in about eight minutes then stand at attention smiling he got hit with a pillow knocked him for a loop. They asked why he did not help his bunk mate. Here I go laughing my ass off. I think I got to do 25 push ups for each cc there slowed down my laughing
Graduated in 2003. After watching this soft serve Basic I'm almost embarrassed for the Marines to watch this video. I never had that pleasant an encounter with my CPO like the one critiquing that recruits bunk inspection.
Please tell me you had Chief Demerit Chit. I believe his name was actually Chief Herman if my memory serves me correctly. If you were there in 2003 you should remember him. Dude was a complete asshole
co-ed boot camp? The Navy sure has changed from when I was in. Women always had it easier in the Navy. They got all the shore duty stations because women weren't allowed on ships. While guys would have to give an extra 2 years to get the same shore duty going from ship to shore.
JeeprzCreepers56 No foolin you. Seeing how my comment is under this video. Id say yes. Yes i did gather this off of THIS 4 min. video. That's rather intelligent, that you had enough foresight to not come to the conclusion that, my comment was directed for another video. Congrats!
Neil Tipton Boot camp wasn't too bad, but it was WAYYY harsher than this. RDCs toned it down a lot for the cameras. there was a lot more yelling and cussing and dropping in the real thing
Sneakers? They run recruits in sneakers these days? And what are the backpacks for? And where are the weapons? Is doing the manual of arms lost to history? Things have changed in the last 40 years.
Clell Harmon From what I have ever learned from videos, the sneakers are for exercise, while the recruits do sometimes train in their boots. The backpacks, I'm not very sure. Then the recruits don't just have firearms right by their bunk. They do still practice shooting techniques and safety precautions while holding a firearm. Thank you for your service.
Wtf is this???? When I went through Navy boot camp in 1993 San Diego RTC/NTC they were screaming at us CONSTANTLY and we were all about speed and intensity. I don't know wtf THIS is. Looks like friggen Girl Scout camp. Sad...
Wow!!! Camp Snoopy is rougher then this shit! One of my RDC's would come in drunk all the time and throw shit around and cuss at us and loved to make it rain!! This shit is S.W.A.F.T SWWWWAAAAFT AS SHIT!!
For those who may be wondering, boot camp is not that calm. I can promise you that. 2:25, that is AT1 Ovalle. She was my RDC, Div 320.

Understand this video only shows the "downtime" as you are getting close to graduation. The first half of boot camp is constant yelling. You got to earn the respect of your rdcs
This isn't "close to graduation", this is P-Days, before training actually begins...
P days you wear PT gear, the second week is when you wear the NWUs
this isnt p-days either.
This is probally for the static inspection, around week 5-2
Jason Turner it’s not p-days
Lmao when my petty officer checked my rack he always threw and unfolded my shit very well
Yeah, I seem to remember my RDCs being a lot louder, and, more... enthusiastic, let's say. If I ever said, "Okay, Chief" that quietly, I'd still be in the front leaning rest position!
michaelmyers555
1990 bootcamp was fun. the yelling. hahahha. the 2 boot camp instructors that was winners
I went through Great Lakes in June-August 1978. We weren't yelled at, a lot, for the first couple of days,but my Company Commanders didn't pur up with any nonsense. A couple of guys tried to go over the hill, the first night.It was A Good experience for me; it made a man out of me.Chief Regan and Petty Officer Coleman, where ever, you are, thanks. You made a difference , and thank you very much.
bootcamp is NOT this calm!!
At least not before 7-1 day
The first 2 weeks aint
😂😂😂
Ryanne Brown it was this calm for me during 6th week
Memories... and this is the calm side of boot, it's not all the way soft, and it depends on the RDCs too
sux they are getting rid of the blue uniform
Can you upload more videos like this from Navy rtc?
+william hernandez sure
+Bridget Bosch how did you take the video I thought phones weren't allowed
I think they have people come in to film them.
Devin Thurman x
lol i was in boot camp for a month already when this video was made. depending on your RDCs they're not as nice as they were in this video. but after awhile they do ease up and are more approachable
Mine never were. we got a congratulatory graduation drop the night before. Left us in fear till the very end, but man did I respect them.
thats awesome. I'm glad you respected them!
Yeah, like after Battle stations 😂
TBH Yeah the RDC's can be hard asses and this video was very tame compared to how RDC's actually are. The RDC's I had were pretty cool unless we fucked up... Which was even worse because when we pissed them off we got our asses kicked extra hard.
Army infantry OSUT they never ease up and never become approachable. "The hat never comes off" as it were.
understand that this was probably filmed towards the end of their bootcamp. the first few weeks are constant craziness. also, those shirt stacks were crappy lol
I went through in 1966. RTC was totally diferent. They rebuiltt the entire base since then. I stayed in Ww2 barracks called camp Barry for my in procssing. We also had to wear khaki coloref leggings.
I went in 1990 they have been rebuilt since then

This is not what bootcamp was 5yrs ago when they filmed this.
why did some of the recruits have rank insignias on uniforms while in boot camp.
They're in leadership positions, such as the RPOC, AROC, Yeoman or MA
Just left there 23Jan16 now training at A-school for Steel working.
Just graduated on April 1st 2016, currently in A school :D
Congrats!
How bad was rtc??, I leave on monday
Did you reenlist ?
My son he's just graduated 07/13/18
And yes the last 3 weeks was hard.
I was still wearing the bell bottom dungarees when I went there over 20 years ago...
They don't make em like they used to. Division 213 1998 dungarees for the win!
@@Vanderlay77 I was Division 200 1995. They sure don't make them line they use too. Remember always having a pair of dungarees that were broken in and very comfortable?
everyone probably got the full orange card after this video once the OOD called divisional IT to compartment "###"-"A, B, C..."
This video was posted when I was a month away from graduating. i only recognized 2 RDC's that I got dropped by
Rodnell Price Do the boot camp is easy ?
Ocean Forever I never said anything about it being hard?
Some military terms not usually explained well ; 1. "gudtuhgo" = "Good to go" formally a tern used when checking troops before embarkation.2.

Chief Chastine was our brother divs 1st RDC😲I graduated June 23 2017! And that other female RDC PO checking the garment bags is a FIT RDC
where the hell are the bcgs?
They were company commanders when I went thru Orlando in 1992, and they would peel your face off when you screwed up. So neat how many behavior and discipline issues were fixed in boot camp.
Do they put the men and women together during boot camp??
There are some integrated divisions but males and females sleep separated
HEYYYYYYYYYYYYY when did they change the uniforms????????
They do it every few years.
yeah the navy is always messing around with uniforms.
How did some of the recruits earn E-4 while at boot camp? I thought E-3 was the highest rank you can enlist as.
Recruits who hold leadership positions within the division are given temporary, e-4 and above, metal collar devices to pin to their blue, digital camo Navy Working Uniforms to represent their position within the division. Outside of boot camp, metal collar devices are never worn with NWU's, and it is not possible for a recruit to be above e-3 while in boot camp. Recruits can be meritoriously advanced to e-3 while there, but must spend 6 months as an e-3 to be eligible for e-4
Also technically you might be paid as an E-2 or E-3 in basic you are treated as a Seaman Recruit Not Apprentice or Seaman.
I went in 1990 Company 179 San Diego Ca. I everyday they were yelling from the P-Days till Graduation..things really changed I guess.
Why are there 2nd and 3rd class POs at rtc??? They weren't RDCs either.
Some of them are recruits. Recruits would be given special assignments at RTC, which granted them authorization to wear the Petty Officer's Crow. Not sure how long they've done that at RTC, but I know they've been doing it well before I enlisted back in 2007.
In 2003 we had a few that would wear chevrons due to division rank, 1 actually wore a chiefs ancor. Was called RPOC.
Can you grow your hair to navy standards in navy boot?
Jose Gonzalez no
wHEN i WAS THERE WE NEVER HAD IT SO NICE IN THE BARRACKS.
Try again, Great Lakes back in ‘82 would have made those red ropes cry!
My boot camp was 11 weeks and it was much different then this. Of course it was NTC/RTC San Diego, Calif. Special company 950. 1976.
Bridget are you an MC?
Went to bootcamp at Glakes many moons ago....did absolutely no PT unless you messed up...then you went to Happy Hour where you ran around the inside of a gym with your rifle over your head.. ahh fond memories.
You know they actually stopped giving recruits rifles. I was slightly disappointed in that when I went back in 2007.
Went Jan 23, 2002. That place sure has changed. When I was there there was a lot of construction goin' on for the newer Navy. The OG Barracks were the shit though LOL
Division body fall out, she didn't say "aroc, take charge." My rdcs destroyed my rpoc for that almost on the daily.
My rpoc was x Marines went home each night til they found his civilian clothes never seen him again just love those prior service
This is a pilot for recruiting for the Navy. Of course they aren't going to show RDC's going crazy on recruits. This is not what boot camp is trust me. The second class is actually one of the top RDC's on this base at this point
Does everyone get the blue camo or only certain jobs?
Everyone. This is just basic training. You get trained in your job directly after it.
The only other rates that do not wear blue navy working uniforms are Corpsman embedded with Marines and Seabees (combat engineers)
SB's and SO's (SWCC and SEAL) don't wear blue camo.
They only wear green.
+wisdeerman and MA's depending on where you are. There are multiple rates that wear type III. It just depends where your command is.
Blueberries are getting discontinued, everyone will be issued type 3s by late next year.
These must be the nicest RDCs in the entire fucking Navy.
Why do some of the recruits have insignias on their collar but others dont?
NSTK they are in leadership roles such as “RPOC” AROC and so on.
lefthandedtoons oh ok cool! TBH I didn’t think anyone would ever actually respond lol. Thanks
No problem, there are smaller leadership positions that don't get collar devices, but important ones that lead divisions do. If you have any other questions I can always help.
shined boots? lol nobody shines their boots at least not in my squadron
Marine corps the only real bootcamp?
Ok
which country navy girls ur ?
Where's the yelling? Where's the getting dropped? Where's the KNIFEHANDING? Where's the RDC screaming in your faces? Are you sure this is Navy boot camp and not a summer camp??? The Army and the Marines are gonna laugh their asses off when they see this.
Navy gets screamed at too. Just not in the video.
Exactly. I never heard one cuss word, because profanity is not quality leadership lol.
I really wish that they showed it like how it actually is. I'm planning on going after I finish my senior year of high school and I just want to get an idea of what it's like.
That's the thing, they never show you the actual level of intensity of it.
Every video I've seen, even the USMC, they pull back on their yelling and screaming just a tad bit...to give new recruits false hope and coming in overconfident...
you do get yelled at in navy bootcamp. this is downtime. and most likey tords the end of camp. first couple of weeks you get yelled at tords the end its more clam
Most chill RDCs ever. No one in the division sounded off, they talked in the height line, they weren't sitting at attention and their racks were unsat as fuck
I seen that Petty Officer at 1:42 everyday while in THU 😂
They are not this nice lol. They will drop and pt you as soon as you do something wrong lol. Graduated April 8th 2016
What Div? I was 090, Asmo'd to fit and THU.
145
I had EMC Timm, IT2 Marshalsea and EO1 Perez. Won the Captian's Cup and 2nd in the training group, I think 812 or something beat us. I knew some from 145, I was in NATTC Pensacola but got separated three weeks ago.
+wisdeerman do you know his name? and I was in Meridian for my A school
No I can't remember. It's hard to believe how many have been pushed since I got out.
LOL ITC Chastine was my RDC at RTC back in May of 2015 Div. 250
The recruits in the end are UNSAT. Are they supposed to have backpacks or not? Are they supposed to have their training guides or not? we would have gotten screamed at for the kind of non-uniformity.
You don't realize how much boot camp sucks until you get out of it.
Dane Kunes it’s not that bad
Graduated Fall 1995 DIV 384...From what I was told, they curved the cussing, dropping and double timing for lone recruits around the base and gave everyone stress cards if they felt stressed. I could not see my time in boot camp being this "soft and gentle"...or quiet!!!
you have been lied too.
the cussing, while less, is stilll there. you still get dropped, only they wait till you get back to the compartment. and ive never heard of a stress card. the closest thing to that is SEPS lol.
+Chris Franklin thank God...It's just that these videos are pretty much leading to that...We did not have it THIS calm in boot camp! Not that I wanted it "nice and sweet"...the RDC's were in our asses, Rain Man, IT at 0300, you name it...discipline made me into the man I am today and I'm grateful.
agreed. And i think part of why it's dumbed down id's because a lot of people nowadays ( myself included) probably wouldn't have joined if they knew what they were getting into before hand.
admittedly they can't wake you up at 0300 anymore. they gotta wait till 0500 now lol.
I am former army getting back into the navy, is this really how RTC is, man what a cake walk this is going to be!
Youre Army going Navy and have to go to boot camp? One of my buddies is former Army and the Navy didnt make him go to boot camp at all.
David Johnson the Navy made me and 2 other Army OSVET recruits go to basic and stuck in us regular division but 900. it was easy though.
this is bootcamp?,shit I'll enlist!,Oh wait I cant they are to nice and I'm 63,my boot camp was not like this.Our company commander would get a sandwhich at the country club while we were at fire fighting training. wonder if CCwebb is still alive..old goat
Gone but not forgotten RTC San Diego
Dude! I went to navy boot camp AND IT WAS NOTHING LIKE THIS SHIT! OIF/OEF VET 2002-2011
Honestly no offenses, but the integrated divisions were a joke they were absolutely softer and more of a joke. I was in an all male division in ship 14. It was marine or coast guard level boot, but it was more than I expected. Two friends of mine who were asmo'd and sent to integrated divisions confirmed that they were indeed different and much less aggressive. Hell one of em even mentioned stress cards, which were not anywhere present in my ship.
I saw the NETC aig its red in my game im Petty Officer 2nd class and im RDC in NETC
What are you talking about? I doubt you are an RDC.
why is this in my recommendations today??
My memories of RTC, Great Lakes are A LOT different! We did not get all the touchy-feely, hand holding. Chief Smith loved to "make it rain". Turn the heat WAY up in the compartment, make us put on our heavy jackets, and, then, he'd PT the living shit out of us!
What year were u in? I was there in 2000 n there was a chief Smith across the hall who was intimidating as hell
Chief Chastine and AM1 Milton were my RDCs
oh the stick and rag. the bullshit stick during field day haha
A Dyson vacuum would have gotten the compartment clean.
Action Bastard navy is too cheap for that shit
They still got the square TV's with the built in VCR.
My, how cozy. The only things missing were the hot chocolate and marshmallows.
went to GLNTC in 57, 9 weeks lot different then old ww2 barracks Had a 1st class po for a DI then went to Norfolk USS Mt Mckinley agc 7 then forget evey thing you learnd in boot camp stow our gear in aluminum lockers abot 2" square and i no particlar order they should do in boot camp what they do in the real Navy forget about stowing your gear in neat little piles and teach what is really needed aboard ship no pomp and circumstance aboard a ship I can say this I went in a boy but I came out a man
Bootcamp is not this calm, especially in ship 12
Those racks should be trashed back to the old style
Those shirt stacks were unsat as fuuuuuck
Fuck if my petty officers were this nice, I'd have a hell of a time.
wheres the screaming??? The loud sounding off??? The Hustle??? The hell is this? lol
I find this amoosing
This must be a new thing. We did not have Coffin Lockers in Boot Camp. The first time I had a Coffin Locker was when I was deployed. Strange.
They try making it more like a ship, which is why galleys are in the "ship", PT is also held indoors at the gym, things of that nature. The coffin locker makes sense, so they can learn to stow their uniforms properly.
Camouflage in the Navy, I don't get it or like it!
The amount of people whining about how easy it looks astounds me.
They're not whining, they're comparing. The "politically correct" Navy is now for a bunch of pussies. No more carousing and drinking like we did years ago
Yeah until they get there and die from running a few laps then the Navy the blame.
be there in a couple weeks 20160406
"Camp Great Mistakes"
Anything negative should be grounds for a BCD
They probably acted like this because of the cameras... Gotta make it look nice and easy to entice people to join only for them to have a rude wake up call.
Divisions 029 and 030 Graduation 04Dec15. 😂
Definitely was never this calm! This video is catfishing. I hated all my time through bootcamp because of all the yelling in 029.
Anybody watching this thinking this is actually how boot camp goes, lol its not, you think they are going to show you how hard it is? No they want you surprised when you get there. I just graduated Feb 9th and these videos are lies compared to how it actually is.
I seen smart ass do a perfect bunk in about eight minutes then stand at attention smiling he got hit with a pillow knocked him for a loop. They asked why he did not help his bunk mate. Here I go laughing my ass off. I think I got to do 25 push ups for each cc there slowed down my laughing
I wish am in us navy
Boot camp was nothing like this, they're not going to purposely incriminate themselves on camera
Graduated in 2003. After watching this soft serve Basic I'm almost embarrassed for the Marines to watch this video. I never had that pleasant an encounter with my CPO like the one critiquing that recruits bunk inspection.
pretty sure the rdc's were holding themselves back, or they got easy rdcs. cause mine were NOTHING like this. Even the chill ones were pretty rough.
Please tell me you had Chief Demerit Chit. I believe his name was actually Chief Herman if my memory serves me correctly. If you were there in 2003 you should remember him. Dude was a complete asshole
Why is no one getting dropped? Why arent the recruits being sworn at up and down? WTF kind of bootcamp is this?
God bless America
co-ed boot camp? The Navy sure has changed from
when I was in. Women always had it easier in the Navy.
They got all the shore duty stations because women
weren't allowed on ships. While guys would have to give
an extra 2 years to get the same shore duty going from
ship to shore.
where is all the yelling and screaming and .. oh wait, navy
TheDoug2103 it’s never this calm.
Wow... Navy has gone soft. My Chief would've thrown all my shit regardless if it was perfect.
Just like everyone has said
It’s all for the cameras
My chief did the same thing
Little dude, but mean as hell 😂
Graduated 09
This is why the Navy is having so many issues. Look at this lmao. Do they get a teddy bear for their rack too?
Should be allot more strict. Looked very weak. I did army and navy boot camp. We are a powerful navy let’s make our young recruits navy strong.
WOW boot camp got so soft.
WOW you gathered this off a 4 minute video?
JeeprzCreepers56 No foolin you. Seeing how my comment is under this video. Id say yes. Yes i did gather this off of THIS 4 min. video. That's rather intelligent, that you had enough foresight to not come to the conclusion that, my comment was directed for another video. Congrats!
Neil Tipton Boot camp wasn't too bad, but it was WAYYY harsher than this. RDCs toned it down a lot for the cameras. there was a lot more yelling and cussing and dropping in the real thing
This is just softened down for the cameras lol
Borna Vaezi mostly because they are near graduation
I swear I saw a kid from high school lel
lol gonna be a vacation for me.
Sneakers? They run recruits in sneakers these days? And what are the backpacks for?
And where are the weapons? Is doing the manual of arms lost to history? Things have changed in the last 40 years.
Brian Waller What does that have to do with what I said?
Clell Harmon From what I have ever learned from videos, the sneakers are for exercise, while the recruits do sometimes train in their boots. The backpacks, I'm not very sure. Then the recruits don't just have firearms right by their bunk. They do still practice shooting techniques and safety precautions while holding a firearm. Thank you for your service.
You gotta be kidding me, PULL THAT SHIT OUT AND THROW IT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM!!!!! What the fuck happened to boot camp????
Aye that girl is in my division now !!! Hahah
HOOYAH!!
Wtf is this???? When I went through Navy boot camp in 1993 San Diego RTC/NTC they were screaming at us CONSTANTLY and we were all about speed and intensity. I don't know wtf THIS is. Looks like friggen Girl Scout camp. Sad...
Where's the screaming and cussing? Lmfao
Not sure. I'm sure they were either looking nice in front of the camera, or he have been in to the point the RDCs started easing up on them.
I prefer Boot Camp in Club Diego. No BYTCHES.
Wow!!! Camp Snoopy is rougher then this shit! One of my RDC's would come in drunk all the time and throw shit around and cuss at us and loved to make it rain!! This shit is S.W.A.F.T SWWWWAAAAFT AS SHIT!!
Real Navy RDC/Drill instructors will yell and Drop you in a heart beat! 8 counts push ups. these videos is not acceptable.
I think type 3 N Dubz are better lol
Fastrada I like em both, can’t really say I have a favorite
Wow different ball game when I went my drill instructor was crazy as hell throwing shit and calling you names and shit this is fake
You went to Navy boot camp and had drill instructors? Damn I just had RDCs. Id say youre lying through your teeth.
to be honest its still like that. either these were a Super recruit div. or the rdc's were just a biiit too chill for their own good.
i remember my chief chucked a chair across the Room once. we needed a new chair.
Went in 1991 that's what I call em please forgive me
they where called CC's in '85. Company Commander
