How Coronavirus Is Changing Coast Guard Boot Camp
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- The COVID-19 crisis is changing the way future Coastguardsmen are trained at the Coast Guard Training Center in Cape May, NJ. According to the Training Center's Commanding Officer Capt. Kathy Felger, there have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 at the Training Center. Due to the crisis, the Coast Guard has implemented a 14-day "Restriction of Movement" period for incoming recruits. After that, they resume their remaining six weeks of training, but with physical distancing implemented into various aspects of training and life at the training center. All visitors are prohibited from attending graduation ceremonies, but the events are streamed live online.

How Coronavirus Is Changing Coast Guard Boot Camp
I heard "stop touching your face" had to check myself
Haha me too. I immediately realized I was touching my touch and I stopped.
Definitely remember hearing him yell that several times a day
Haha imagine if you have a really bad itch on your face.. ohhh
Nubian N Lovely LMAO that itch gonna stay there for a while. No Cape May Crud is getting my *ss 😂
They always say that trust me. I was there in the fall of 19’ no different.
Before COVID: STOP TOUCHING YOUR FACE!
After COVID: STOP TOUCHING YOUR FACE!
The drill sergeant probably scared the covid away
‘Recruit Division Commander’ (RDC), actually. The term ‘Drill Sergeant’ would be the Army & Marine equivalent. Still quite scary though.
Jay Rose nah it’s a Company Commander for the Coast Guard. RDC is Navy boot camp.
Excuse me Sir/Madam
Are you saved?
If you died tonight are you going to haven?
Jesus loves you. George street.
And if you call them a drill sergeant they'll scare you away too :) They're called Company Commanders or CCs for short
Petty Officer.
I graduated with Kilo 198 in march of 2020. It was one of the last companies to go through the full 8 week, "no holding back" basic trainings before Covid. It was long, miserable, and a whole lot of fun. Would do it again 10 times that way than once with this abridged version. These recruits are dealing with a whole new level of stress though and I applaud them for stepping up to serve with us.
K-199 here. That’s crazy. Everyone talked about how good you guys were getting your colors week 6 or something.
@@hoosh1175 welcome to the fleet! Lmao we were a solid company. Where are you headed?
@@pata9749 I’m at base Boston on the spencer. Lmao our CCs always mentioned how good you guys where and how shit we were, we got our colors like Saturday week 7 😂 but we ended up getting it together and even earned every pennant, even the maroon one. Wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. We formed as a team in the end and accomplished what a lot of us thought we couldn’t.
@@hoosh1175 haha love it 😂. You're going to have a blast on the Spencer. Work hard on your Quals, do a little extra, and you'll do just fine. Any idea on a rate?
@@pata9749 I joined the CG because I thought AMTs are badass so I’m going for AMT all the way and I’m chill with the wait time
Bruh. 😂 COVID has made Boot Camp hella easier from the looks of this video.
Ikr
gri22lybear lol we hey get smoked longer cause they take 5 min for each to move while waiting they are getting smoked
H T really?
It's coast guard boot camp.
Didn’t know it could get easier
Man. Things are VEEEERRRY different from when I went to bootcamp in 2017! Glad I went then. At least i did not get quarantined, my family could come to my graduation, and I could spend time with them before I went to my first unit.
Same here brother.
I got ROM in SK "A" school and it was 7 weeks instead of 8. Idk about ROM in boot camp though.
Thankful I got to experience the normal boot camp back in the fall
I went in summer 2018, so I got the full, real deal as well, and I am so grateful for that. No quarantines and graduation on the parade field.
I got in just in time as well. I was there from January - March 2019.
Same man, went in during November
@@Dreamworksprogram also joined summer 2018. Kilo 196. It's a shame it looks like people are getting an easy version of what should be a strenuous period. This coming from someone who intends to go into CC school, there's a standard that needs to be put out there for every graduating recruit
You were there? Bahaha so was I.
It’s so depressing and honestly scary how the virus has impacted so many parts of life I never thought in a million years that In a school supply list a face mask would be supplied
Yeah, same
There is no virus to make it "scary". The shot is what you need to fear.
Cool. I ship out June 2nd.
Best of luck in recruit training. Just remember that it’s 90% mental, and that the RDCs are literally just doing a job, and the time will fly by before you know it!
Me as well!
Jay Rose he’s right. And be a leader. A leader always makes the week and mentally broke feel a little better
Good luck! You’ll be shipping with a couple people I know!
Assata ward good luck
Getting off the bus the first day was my first wtf moment from the looks of this video it looks to relaxed
It was. I got yelled at coming off the bus, then the next company that came, they were spoken to normally and just spaced out to start quarantine. They’re technically still considered civilians during their 2 weeks of quarantine
Yea man I got there in July of 79 Victor 107 . My first thought was what did I get my self into this time as I processed everything. I traveled there by myself via public transportation from NYC. I had no money in my pocket to leave. I soon realized even if I made it home my father would only drive my right back and pull me in the gate by my ear. I soon realized walking into the gate was my best course of action. Total time with reserves 21 years Favorite duty station was Station Rockaway small boat station Retired 2000 as MK 1 Never regretted a day
Yea man me too! My first though was I’ll take the bus home. Then I realized I didn’t have enough money and if I did my father would have drove rite back that day .
Victor company 107
@@angeljinxdallas3162 damn covid making it easy af
@@стрелок-ч7р I’ve heard it’s gotten even easier. The newest nonrate at my unit didn’t go through seamanship training, marksmanship, they basically studied in quarantine
Capt Felger is awesome! Great leadership, I enjoyed serving with her.
I think the social distancinng made it easier to avoid tripping over in crowded training sessions but it makes the concept of this so morbid. Graduation is streamed and makes it look like covid 19 is tearing humanity apart, literally and figuratively.
I really hate this COVID
The coast guard is the toughest branch out there, they battle sea pirates , capture stolen goods and destroy drug empires on the sea. Above all they can speak ancient caveman when speaking to their NCO's and officers, it is truly a prestige nobility club.
@トロール・ハンター Coast Guard will kick your ass boy
Puddle Pirates
No the Corps. is. I was in USCG in the fall and it wasn’t really physically challenging imo. They make you sweat, but that’s it...
@@raquelr8775 Space Force 100%
@@raquelr8775 You only joined the CG for the Fall? 😂
Oh my, two weeks to study before it starts.. Would of been so easy
No sir it’s quite the opposite and during rom ccs still get in your face and yell at you
Dakota Freeman I’ve been my guy.. cape may is very hard. I’m sayin that if I was given 2 weeks before hand to study and not have to do it at night in my rack or cram it in while sitting in medical, it could of been easier.
@@nickschwab8983 "do it at night in my rack"
Risky business!
Nick Schwab lol same
And yet, there were still guys in my squadbay during ROM that didn't study, and got blasted for it
I’m going in the coast guard soon I go to meps tomorrow and honestly can say I am extremely excited.
Good luck
Welcome...
I got 3 years till I go to boot camp
I'm counting the days til my contract ends.
Morgan M why is that? And how long is your contract?
My company, Echo Company, was the first in Parris Island to change the way we train and was the first quarantined company
times have changed so much. "Cape May Crud" was just part of boot camp- EVERYONE spent a week and a half or more sick as hell while being PT'd and drilled until you literally felt like you were dead on your feet. Then you got through it with the help of your team mates or you didn't..... and that was in addition to getting all four of your wisdom teeth knocked out by the butchers and so many shots that your arms didn't work for a few days LOLOL. I get that we have to adapt, but two weeks of the 8 weeks spent in quaranine with "light physical training".... holy shit from the first night until the last we ran , and ran, and ran, and pushups, forever, begin..... Still the proudest, most traditional, BEST service there is :)
The guard still has to meet quotas and churn out new boots somehow. Adapt or die Semper Paratus brother
FLUTTERKICK POSITION, TAKE!
We ran, but not as much as one would imagine. We did more PT then anything. Yes it is tough, but bare-able imo if you are fit.
Matt Kennedy That sounds cheesy. Die from what lol.
Raquel Rodriguez it’s just an expression 🙄
I was there when the change started! It was so weird to go from intense training to a bit more relaxed with all the new rules in place
I'm about to start the recruiting process. Hopefully it goes well. I just gotta keep telling myself that boot camp is only temporary and it gets easier once I graduate.
I just retired this month! Not my problems anymore! lol
HAHA!
Go for you! No kidding.
Now is the time for people that don’t like being spit on to join😂
im turning 28 and considering joining
good for you! i want to join the air force but i’m not old enough yet
@@kasper307 im just worried about boot camp and being tormented i know i could handle it because i have no option but id love to be ast
bruh when they screamin ion even know what they be sayin
barry mccokiner ikr
Did they just skip the haircut part? Everyone has hair in this vid wtf
Barber shops are considered high risk because everyone's using the same clippers. Haircuts come after the 2 week quarantine period.
Wtf, just realized that
They ended up with haircuts don’t worry haha, guys got them that week
No no, we got them. Im apart of one of these companies. PAPA-198
@@thevesley4529 I was PAPA-163. That was a long time ago. Just retired this month.
I'm honestly mad that I can't join because I'm completely blind in one eye. I got these coast guard vids on my recommended, and it really looks fun and exciting
"A little bit of light physical fitness" 🤣
It will be getting back to this eventually
Lol...Old guard here.Somehow this came up in my recommended by UA-cam 😅 I went to bootcamp in 91' ,went straight to a 378ft Ship (USCGC722 Morgenthau) which has been decommissioned a few years ago...I served 4 years active duty.Been out since 95.Good luck to all the newbies,graduated and just starting bootcamp. Crazy times with Covid now.
Cool yo, my boy was a nonrate on the morgenthau when it got decommissioned
With all due respect, I think I can say I am more likely to be Old Guard - X Ray 21, September to November 1973. We were still issued Navy style jumpers and Donald Duck hats.
can you even be "Old Guard" if you only served four years? :) :) :) just joking. Thank you for doing it!
My ship date is in 3 days. Here we go
Good luck
Thank you business insider
COVID: Hello, may I infect y-
Drill Sergeant: GET OUT OF HERE
We have no cases of COVID.
Just graduated today, was in MIKE-199, it was a miracle we all tested negative.
Lol....we all got it right after you left
Why are they socially distanced after the two week quarantine? Doesn’t make sense to takeaway from the boot camp experience if they’ve been through quarantine and they have no physical contact with the outside world.
This was really cool to see, I ship out July 28th!
When did you find out? I go to meps on Monday I hope to get a date ASAP
Same here!!
Ryan Rodriguez you got a long way to go. Probably another year out or 2
We graduated as soon as the Covid stuff really got bad but boot camp was soooooo much easier when they were social distancing lmao
I am sure your current `product` is way more responsible and self aware than the `products` of yester years. That is an improvement.
You should do an updated video of the coast guard!
My son went too basic feb 2nd.I miss him but I know he is serving our wonderful country.Im a hot mess.But its what happens when your kids grow up.Bless our troops.
Coast gaurd do be vibin doe
I really hope to join the Coast Guard this summer!!!!
I don't remember seeing the CC's wearing the Smokey Bear hats when I went went to Cape May in 1985. The uniforms and sweat shirts haven't changed although we didn't have the nametags sewn into our shirts. And those sleeping racks look different than what we had in Munro Hall.
E-198 is still the best company though. Good to see Petty officer Neves running the sweat sessions
Kook
Kennedy get out of here and get to work lol D-198 is better
Yo what up Kennedy 😂
Did any of you guys get all the pennants ?
Lmfao
My sister wants to join and lives in Wilmington how soon can she get into boot camp?
I applied in February 2017 and went to boot camp the following November. But it’s different for everyone
brittany coram It takes a couple of months depending on how quick your sister and her recruiter get the paper work done.
I want to get in ASAP, I’m about to take my tests this Thursday to determine which jobs I qualify for. I realllly don’t want to be doing boot camp with a face mask on in the summer time 😭
@@CocoLaurel what's makes you wanna sign up ?
Holly shit they make look easy. I graduated September and I can promise it wasn't this easy.
I'm shipping out 8/4! Can't wait to make a difference with myself and hopefully others.
This guy is getting off the bus *today.*
Good luck, shipmate.
PAPA-198 BRING IT ON IN. 2:25 thats me
How was training during covid?
You forgot to say which side they’re supposed to bring it on in
@@ryanhill4918 there’s probably only one side because it’s less space.
@@jarekg3740 uh no. Both sides are open, I was literally just there
I keep forgetting the coast guard exists.
Just like everyone never knew you existed before this comment?
idek why they are considered a military branch, they are homeland security
@@Crown_VIII ua-cam.com/video/ij2CAdWOZ4g/v-deo.html
@@cantthinkofaname7525 It depends whether we’re talking about wartime or not. Even in peacetime the Coast Guard does some pretty awesome work, by themselves, and alongside the other branches. I was Navy, but was pretty amazed when I saw how some of the technical specialties of the Coast Guard are needed overseas right alongside everyone else.
People tend to easily forget, unless they know just how important the Coast Guard actually is. They do some pretty badass law enforcement work, not to mention rescue and the like. As active duty Navy, I respect the hell out of them!
Alameda Gov Island. Bootcamp 1977. First week of training we ran around in old Army OD uniforms.
Man have things changed.
We ran in our uniforms as well including our boomdockers. So yeah that’s no new news for the USCG now. That shit was nasty though. We were sweating and all and we were obviously given little to no time to change and shower upon returning from the track.
idk what but its nice to be the person to put this vid up to 1 k :D
Good Leadership is always the key!

Dude the Cape May crud that I got while there years ago was way worse than covid 😂
Do I have the Cape May Crud or is it COVID?
So funny a-hole
@@jonc822 He's actually right. Cape May crud is about the same as Covid-19.
He isn't being an a hole. Only Coastie's know about the Cap May Crud😷🤣. Civilians will never understand 🤦🏻♀️
I mean when you have the crud you know at least
@@castironskillet2594 The Crud is literally worse. Some get it worse than others, but I guarantee if some elderly, frail, or otherwise immunocompromised person had what I had in boot, they would have died.
Man, I hope they keep some of this. The extra 2 weeks of bootcamp lite easing them in and the spaced out meals makes the whole thing just that little bit nicer
Well I ship out tomorrow.
Well you are there you will see this when you get out
Good luck Brandon!
Good luck brother!
Thank you for sharing
I went in 2015, it was so very different.
I went in 2002. A lot different back then too.
I will love to serve in the USCG. My only worry is I am not a 100% fluent at english. It is actually my second Lenguage, but I did very well on my ASVAB.
Join! They need bilingual people.
Go for it. Ive with plenty military who English wasnt good but they knew there job
Go for it. English is my second language too. Believe me or not, I've been fluent in English since kindergarten (don't ask how cause i have no idea😂). Just go for it, like another comment said, they do need people that can speak multiple languages.
I'm bilingual. Trust me, all the branches need us. Embrace it and join. I just swore into to the USCG 3 weeks ago and I'm leaving soon! It's a wonderful branch, a family and a bond that will stay with you for life!
Trust me you'll be okay we had a couple guys from PR who barely spoke English and they made it
I didn’t know Coasties had to go to boot camp too?!? 🧐
Casey Burns Investing Yes, my son is there in boot camp right now.

Good luck to him. All inter service jokes aside, I wish him well.

Lmk when you get out
I’ve completed MEPS 4 months ago...still no word on when I can meet with my recruiter to shipout...
Best of luck
Stay on top of it and keep bugging them
@@dogestranding5047 Oh trust me I have! Last I heard is that MEPS apparently never received my medical docs and so my recruiter has to resend them... more waiting now fun fun.
Best time to join
You think? Im shipping soon and idk if im lucky or misfortunate.

Thank you for deciding to serve our Country! I’m going to Enlist into the Coast Guard soon but good luck to you
How do you yell with a mask on? Drill Sargeant gets muted. 😂😂
Good.
'DON'T TOUCH YOUR FACE!"
*flashbacks*
Best time to join 🤸😂
I don't wanna become a puppet of the state
@extremely crappy channel k
please do an air force version
Im 10, wanna join USCG, my friendz know and are worried, thanks business insider for showing my friends it is better then they think.
You’re 10. COVID won’t be around for the next 8 years you will need to enlist
It's alright buddy, no matter how it looks, it will be an incredible experience. I'm 16 and I'm gonna join the USCG too. Here's a little bit of advice, if you ever think or feel like it is really hard, think on this: "it will only be as hard as you let it be in your head". Sure, it is hard. It was never meant to be easy, but if you keep going and never give up you'll make it through.
I hope you hang on to that desire, and you do it. I knew when I was 16 that I wanted to be part of the best service there is, and I spent the best 21 years of my life wearing the CG uniform. Work hard, and you will go far.
Anyone else here for the dulcet Alabamian narration?
I see you, Rob. And I've reported you to the proper authorities.
Watching this again after going through during rom and stuff there is so many changes they have done since they made this video.... It's crazy... But Petty Officer Neves was my CC.... He is pretty cool... Got yelled at by him so many times for looking into his eyeballs as he'd like to say...
What are the changes!
This is sad. It’ll forever be like this
Yeah I'm never joining the military like this LMFAOOOOO
it won’t be like this forever, maybe a year max
If forever we can blame China.
The saddest thing about it is the fact that the family isn't even allowed to congratulate the recruits in their graduation.
@@stewyball73 no you can blame this country's dogshit handling of this situation. Down in Europe, they're taking genuine precautions so they can re open as soon as possible, while the US didnt do jack diddly shit for months, amassed the most cases in the world, and is now re opening while we're still discovering new things about this virus. But oh no muh freedom and jesus will save us.
Nice boot camp much better than my 1969 Alameda CA. Experience.
magnificent work keep going guys, God bless you all and God bless America

Congrats from O-197!
Johnny Vazquez yo what’s good Vasquez 😂
joining soon...im coming
same !
how's everything going
6 week training period? Is ROM supplementing 2 week of basic?
How come they can’t have boot camp end in a warmer season and have graduation be outside isn’t that a giant no brainer doesn’t every other branch do that
CG does do outdoor graduations, when weather permits. Our grad was indoors because the parade field was a marsh from all the rain we got.
Because Basic training graduation happens year round lol….it isn’t high school .
October baby
Victor Company 107 here. What a difference!!!! Guess CC can’t get up in your face any more.....
Does anyone leave on June 23?
Right here.
June 21st bro
Now is the perfect time for basic! 😂😂 Take advantage of this before it's gone.
Bro, no it’s not. It’s so much more stressful, and depressing because no family can come to gradauation.
Ian Case hopefully I get to boot camp in a month or so, and I don’t even care about people being at my graduation because my family is trash anyways LOL 👋🏾

Hello all, I am a graduate of PAPA-198. PAPA was the first Covid company. I am one of the people that was filmed in this video. If you have any questions ask away!

Welcome to the fleet
Welcome to the fleet *sHIpmAtE*
They should change it from boot camp to boat camp. Makes more sense.
0:27 I thought the guy close to the camera was CallMeCarson for a second, it was kinda freaky.
This is so cool!!
Coast guard is the unwanted deformity ridden brother of the milltary. Bunch of pogs too lol
2:40 What is the point of doing all that? If they’re really close to each other (not wearing a face mask). only one person is wearing a face mask 😷?
Company Commanders go home to their families almost everyday (unless they are the Officer of the Day), so it is better for them to wear a mask vs recruits that spend 8+ weeks together
I served in the USCG Reserves for 4 years....I went to Cape May for a 2 week gentleman's course....I had smoked marijuana 8 1/2 days before 11:30 PM arrival there...Mr. Idiot here did not foresee a piss test....got upstairs in briefing room and walked pass 2 dozen small plastic bottles with red screw on tops....I pissed and was so upset/fucked up did not sleep for 2 days.......I was a walking zombie.....on the third day was I not called out and was able to sleep that night.....Holy Shit.......No tap on the shoulder ever came.....I am very lucky dude for sure.....was able to go into USAF Reserves and retire with 20 years in 2017....

Been trying for a year to even speak to a recruiter. I guess I'm really not getting in now. Navy here I come :(
It is very easy to get in contact with a recruiter, they will even find a way to get you to them if you cannot find travel yourself.
Did you apply at gocoastguard.com ? After you apply there the recruiter calls you
That looks so easy man

Drill Sgt: STOP TOUCHING YOUR FACE
Why do they all scream like in the movies? I thought that was a parody 🤣🤣🤣
It’s to prep you for real situations. In the coast guard you have to yell for certain situations..
Sounding off is a crucial part of the job. Whether having to be heard over loud machinery or in a storm, it’s important to be able to hear each other in those situations. Plus, it’s added stress for the recruits.
'If you cant handle yelling in your ear, you cant handle bulets whizzing past your head.'
Loud machinery, storms, alarms.. it's necessary.
Simulated stress and chaos, in a safe environment. You also have to scream your responses, and get punished if you're too quiet or otherwise incoherent. If you or someone else falls off a boat in adverse weather, and no one else sees, how are you gonna let your shipmates know?
This is some complicated stuff..🌹
Don’t go back to navy rtc for COVID. There is pretty much no social distancing after rom. I just got out. It just a lot less screaming
