Don't sweat it if you forget or don't have a bank account. One of the very first things they do in boot camp is give everyone the option of signing up for a Navy Federal Credit Union account. Even if you do have an account, I highly encourage going this route. You'll have access to a Navy Federal Credit Union any place you get stationed. The same cannot be said for other banks.
@@Jaylaislover It's a good financial institution, but a couple of problems. 1) It only has a small handful of locations, so prepare to do everything online or by phone. 2) They were just hit with the following fine... On March 17, 2022, The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) announced a $140 million "civil money penalty" against USAA Federal Savings Bank for violations of the Bank Secrecy Act.[42]
If you struggle with anxiety or anything just make sure you get it sorted before. people will be screaming at you. I have been in the navy for 6 years now and boot camp sucked. there is only one thing worse than bootcamp and thats sea duty. those big grey floating things are real but you will work a lot and not have much time at home. also when you get to your first ship expect to be doing all of the crap work no one wants to do. you will go cranking ( you will work in the mess deck/ galley) cleaning everyones dishes. usually its for 3 months. don't even get me started on standing watches. you will be in a duty section. usually 3 or 4 section duty and every 3 or 4 days you wont be going home you will be on the ship all day and night then expect to work a full works day the next day. my advice is choose a rate that does not involve going to sea duty or choose a rate that has a lot of options once your up for shore duty. they don't tell you the bad stuff about the navy because they want you to join. and for the love of god do not become a deck seaman. i cannot remmebr what the job is called when you join but its basically a program where you go to a ship and then apply for a rate a year down the line. you will be placed in deck department and scrapping paint for a year or 2. best of luck in the navy. just remember if you go to a ship you will hate your life but just know shore duty is right are the corner and shore duty is 10 times better than any ship.

Stay in shape and know that the navy bootcamp videos you’ve watched about what it’s like doesn’t show the half of it. There’s much more to bootcamp than what’s shown on the internet so prepare for some LONG and I mean LONG DAYS. Bootcamp isn’t hard it’s just demanding!
Hey this is an old comment but I just want to respond to the 16 (maybe 17 now?) OP. If/when you go, try to get a fuckin high energy mentality. Stay level headed, but give 100% to everything you do. RDC's notice that and tend to be slightly less harsh on the people who clearly show they want to be there and do well. As well, try to prepare yourself. Not everything will be as you expect, and lots of people in the division (and in the navy as a whole) are burnt out from day one and nothing but negative nancies. Prepare to deal with that kind of negativity in a constructive way, or you'll butt heads a lot. Final recommendation: Get good at doing planks, you'll be doing a lot of forward leaning rests. Have fun, good luck, see you in the fleet bud.
You are allowed personal lititure too, just has to fit in box. I had my wife send a couple trial of apollo books and read them on holiday routine. Also your allowed a normal wrist watch (not smart) and a wedding band. Watch is really useful for watch standing.
Hm, no idea how those got smuggled in. We weren't allowed to read anything except the recruit guide and the bluejacket manual. The RDCs are supposed to open every box and take out anything not allowed, so how you got personal books in is weird.
@@HaedenBeck my rdcs were more relaxed too tbf. From what I recall it was rdc discretion but was allowed. They opened the packages and approved them. There was someone in the female side of my div that brought a erotica romance novel that obviously was against regulations and she got chewed out. It was my second RDCS last push. I'm in my C school command in Virginia now tho, RTC was a year and a half ago lol
I go for Meps in the Morning! So excited! Great video! Outta curiosity do they let you make phone payments every month in Boot camp so you don’t lose your number?
Mine was automatically paid with autopay so I didn't have to worry about it. Maybe either get that or have family handle it? No, we didn't have designated times to pay our bills or handle stuff at home.
A question for filing taxes do you bring any last documents or should you just have it store with family - should I just bring the clothes I’m wearing and wallet with id and social and bank information for direct deposit- should I even bring razor blade or soap etc don’t they get tossed away since they will supply clothes and soap etc - how would you put your birth cerf and social and bank information I heard you get a private locker or some sort for your wallet etc
File taxes before you show up to RTC, bring the documents in a folder so they aren't damaged, you can bring shaving and washing products but they should be travel sized or else the airport will just seize them, but yes you can buy more inside RTC. You store everything in a drawer in your bunk bed.
When you mentioned shoes getting stolen that made my skin crawl and made me very angry....can't stand a thief As far as stenciling the issue we had was when we washed that some of the shirts were not stenciled so people were missing shirts... Then we got to a point where we were like "F" the missing shirts they did us a favor. (That was just more items to inspect and fold) When I went (air force) credit cards were not highly used and cash was still used alot. We had a thing called the money list!! You had to write down the serial numbers of all your money and keep a copy on you at all times and keep a copy in your security drawer.. it had to be constantly updated if you spent and received money at the BX . If it wasn't and they asked to see your money list you were in trouble if the numbers didn't match all your money.. This lowered the stealing aspect of money also. I would love for you to do a reaction to "making a sailor" i know its been over done by everyone but wanted to hear your take
Thievery is one of the lowest forms of petty crimes, it really makes an honest person uneasy. Yeah some guys bought shirts but forgot to stencil them in my division, in the end it was like hey who wants another shirt? Can't prove whose it is. Also the stencils fade so you gotta stencil them again. That sounds way too complex, the money list. The eagle card has been around a long time, there should have been no need for all that unless you joined many years ago? Busy work. As for the reaction video, if I did it I'd do it with a group of friends. Thanks for the comment.
@@HaedenBeck well we had the eagle card..(it was called something different) , but you still wanted cash money to go to get a hamburger or something; or people came with money to boot camp.The eagle card only had like 200$ on it and it was never refilled. Plus the card only worked like in clothing sales for like one building. You couldn’t go just anywhere and use it on base. But the point was if you dropped a dollar or someone stole 20$ from you , you had this money list as proof that was your 20$ someone stole it. It’s not a problem now as people use credit cards and debit cards Yeah good ideal with the making the sailor
Hi, I’m a woman in her 20s and I’m training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. What advice would you give for women that want to be SEALs? If you had to go to BUD/S again, how would you prepare differently? What books or workout programs would you recommend? Most female SEAL candidates struggle with carrying the boats and logs, doing pull ups, having grip strength and completing the “Dirty Name” on the obstacle course. Also, a lot of female SEAL candidates break their legs or develop stress fractures. A woman made it to day 4 of BUD/S first phase recently but she quit on that day. That’s the farthest a woman has made it. Her BUD/S classmates told me that her class hated her and ran her out from under the boat because she was a boat ducker. Nine women have entered the SEAL pipeline since 2016.
I've never been to BUD/S, I'll never go there. I'd never make it, and most men can't make it either. If you're the first woman to make it, your name will be in history books. Wish you the best.
That's a swangky and vibrant blazer there my man, ya got your own style and i can appreciate it. This was informative! i didnt know that people with asthma can join, i have friend distraught that he cant join the airforce because of his conditional asthma (mainly flares up around spring, triggered by pollen). So the navy does work with people who have asthma?
Thanks, I really like this red one. I might have misspoke, officially the Navy says the answer is if you have asthma symptoms after your 13th birthday you might be disqualified but should still apply, try, and see if there's a waiver available with the recruiter and MEPS.
I going this August, I live by myself, do I need to keep the apartment also have a car please I have no clue do I have to get red of everything before I go or should I keep everything and have no family here please I don't know what to do are they gonna give me a place where to live after A school?
I got rid of everything, but kept essential things like photo albums and put them with friends and family. If you're leaving your current life entirely, yeah you can just get rid of everything. The navy will always provide housing. Usually a barracks room, but once you get promoted to E5 you can get money to live off base.
I'm Enlisted as an E3 so after bootcamp and A school, they will provide housing even in the base that's fine I don't wanna keep paying for an apartment that I'm not sure if I have to come back for it other than that I can get red of my car and keep just the important things that I could give to a friend to keep for me, also wanna inform my landlord That I'm leaving is that what should do? And thank u so much for responding my comment
Unfortunately if you bring a furry suit especially one with a fox or squirrel tail it needs to be placed into the box to get back at the end of boot camp or thrown away. 😂
What do you mean pack for bootcamp. They make you put everything on your person in a box including your clothes in the first 20 minutes of getting off the bus? Unless somethings changed in 6 years since I went to bootcamp I would pack nothing
You might find your answers by watching it, but you can take a lot of stuff inside with you and have other stuff ready for graduation liberty and A school
You should still bring your phone and charger at a minimum, besides that I guess if you want to play on hard mode you'll still make it. 90%+ of the stuff you need is just issued to you by the navy anyways and you can buy the rest inside.
Please answer this. My manager at my job told me that if I join the navy. The RDCS will try to beat you near death to see if you’re tough. Is that true.
There is a chance at a possible waiver, as with other things, but it's probably not likely. I actually just let that inhaler comment slip out if you want to know the truth.
It doesn't matter what hair you have when you show up, just don't show up already shaved bald. It makes you look like a know-it-all or something. Is it a big deal? Still no, but it's not recommended. If you mean the haircuts during boot camp, there isn't much of a say. They still keep it very short with a fade down the sides basically.
If you show up to boot camp heavy, you'll probably be allowed to train still but you'll wish they didn't let you. Your life will not be rainbows and unicorns. Everything will be more difficult and you might get sent back in training because you fail fitness events, which means you lose all your friends, your enlistment bonus, and you have to stay in boot camp longer. Stay in the best shape you can! If you can't run a mile and a half or do 50 pushups, keep exercising until you can before you go. Boot camp will not get you in shape, only test what you brought to the table.
You have to make weight or body fat before you ship, or you will not be leaving on your ship date. If you have gained weight, get at it to be back to where you were when you joined or below to avoid any issues. Don't give meps the power to keep you from achieving your goals. Good luck.
You're going to use the eagle card. You're also gonna have the opportunity to set up a bank account at RTC. I'd recommend just making an account before showing up. See the setting up direct deposit video on the channel posted a week ago.

They give you shots, there's dental care done, hearing tests, a few other things. It's not just meps again, no.
What do you mean pack for bootcamp. They make you put everything on your person in a box including your clothes in the first 20 minutes of getting off the bus? Unless somethings changed in 6 years since I went to bootcamp I would pack nothing
You might find your answers by watching it, but you can take a lot of stuff inside with you and have other stuff ready for graduation liberty and A school
Shipping July 1st so what if I decide I just want to bring the papers I need
You should still bring your phone and charger at a minimum, besides that I guess if you want to play on hard mode you'll still make it. 90%+ of the stuff you need is just issued to you by the navy anyways and you can buy the rest inside.
Could the inside of the shoe still be stenciled even if its black?
Hopefully there's a white tag in there, otherwise it's possible they use a white/silver marker to mark on black fabric.
September 9 is my ship date who else ships on September
I ship Sept 10 chicago
Going to bootcamp feb 20 wish me luck
Good luck, see the other videos for more info.
All future sailors going on RTC in July like me let me see y’all here🤚
right here!!
Please answer this. My manager at my job told me that if I join the navy. The RDCS will try to beat you near death to see if you’re tough. Is that true.
LOL nah they won't lay a finger on you, but there will be a lot of exercising.
Hi! I dont know if I missed it or not but is deodorant allowed to bring in to bootcamp?
Bring a brand new travel sized one, otherwise you can buy one inside RTC.
ship out 27th thank you 🫡
March 18th let go
I should have been a seal. I got in a fight with an instructor though.
February 19th I’m on the way lol thanks
Hooyah good luck! Plenty of other info on the channel too.
Did u make it back
@@ciat yep I’m at Great Lakes
Wait, did you just say bring your inhaler if you have ASTHMA? I had to rewind that about 3 times to confirm. Isn't that an automatic disqualification
There is a chance at a possible waiver, as with other things, but it's probably not likely. I actually just let that inhaler comment slip out if you want to know the truth.
If you score high enough on the ASVAB, your recruiter will find a way to waiver your asthmatic ass to boot camp.
Don't forget your fluffy slippers....
What about hair? What are the rules for hair cuts?
It doesn't matter what hair you have when you show up, just don't show up already shaved bald. It makes you look like a know-it-all or something. Is it a big deal? Still no, but it's not recommended.
If you mean the haircuts during boot camp, there isn't much of a say. They still keep it very short with a fade down the sides basically.
The glasses im assuming definitely aren’t prescription?
I didn't have glasses myself but I know that they work.
What about lotion
Shipping out on 08/13/24
I wish you luck for tomorrow. I'm getting shipped 10/28/2024
Do you know what happens if you make weight at meps and get overweight while in the dep program?
If you show up to boot camp heavy, you'll probably be allowed to train still but you'll wish they didn't let you. Your life will not be rainbows and unicorns. Everything will be more difficult and you might get sent back in training because you fail fitness events, which means you lose all your friends, your enlistment bonus, and you have to stay in boot camp longer. Stay in the best shape you can! If you can't run a mile and a half or do 50 pushups, keep exercising until you can before you go. Boot camp will not get you in shape, only test what you brought to the table.
You have to make weight or body fat before you ship, or you will not be leaving on your ship date. If you have gained weight, get at it to be back to where you were when you joined or below to avoid any issues. Don't give meps the power to keep you from achieving your goals. Good luck.
Who leaves August 13
What if I don't have a bank account, are you able to receive paper checks?
You're going to use the eagle card. You're also gonna have the opportunity to set up a bank account at RTC. I'd recommend just making an account before showing up. See the setting up direct deposit video on the channel posted a week ago.
@@HaedenBeck right on bud, I appreciate the quick response. I'll be watching for the next video 😎

How often can you call home during basic?
It's scheduled, there's like 5 phone calls. With the new phone policy, there's likely more time to call and text home.
