    Boot camp was the easiest three months I spent in the Navy. If you can't deal with authority or you're some kind of control freak you will not like basic training.

    Really love your channel, and really appreciate your kind response to everyone’s questions. Even though you’re talking about military experience, what you learned through boot camp applies to everyone - military or civilian-one way or another. Thank you so much for sharing.

    I wen t to boot camp in Orlando in JUL-AUG-SEP in 73. My dad was a LDO LCDR. He told me that for boot camp you just keep your head about you and pay attention to details and get through each evolution one at a time at a time. Don't worry about what happened 10 mins ago or what might happen next. Just do what you have to do now. Compartments?! We had an open bay with 70 souls in it. A couple guys were cryers and were sent home, 2 guys go caught in the same rack and they were discharged the next day. He also told me don't gamble for money, don't borrow money, don't lend money, don't take a dead horse, and don't volunteer for anything. I dit the first 4. I love every day of my 22 years. I made CTOC in 8 years and was picked for CWO2 at 14 -- both at the absolute minimum time in service allowed. The I was early selected for CWO3 & 4. CWO4 (Cryptology), USN, Ret, 73-95.

    I actually don't understand why they don't let you use your contact lenses. From experience, glasses can limit you in the sence that they can fall off, get really dirty, but with contacts everything is so much easier. I thought it is so much better using them during trainings.

When ended up in a regular infantry unit the NCO's were a good example of the saying " Lifer a way of saying loser " Example one soldier complained to Company commander our Platoon Sargent would not talk to you unless you talked Spanish. Almost 20 years in how is that for sad.

      The Coast Guard is bad ass man. Semper Paratus, "always ready". They get to do a lot badass clandestine stuff you will never hear about. Drug interdiction and black ops. I worked a couple of riverine ops with them in Vietnam in 1970 and didn't even know who they were until after I got back to base. We thought they were CIA or SEAL's, found out later they were CG.

      I watched that video, good memories. One of the little side jobs I did when in port was drive for the Admiral and VIP's. One day the Admiral gave me a huge order for Subway for him and the staff. He gave me a credit card and had me go pick up lunch for them. Back then the cars we drove were Crysler Reliants with bullet proof glass, anyway I drive to subway in Manama get the order and when I am walking back out to the car with two huge bags of food two Humvees roll up and block me in. The MP's or shore patrol was trying to arrest me for using Government vehicles for personal business. I tried telling them who I was picking the food up for but they didn't believe me at all. It took twenty minutes with me sitting on the curb handcuffed before they got in contact with the Admiral and he told them Iwas on orders to pick up food for the staff.

    Austen,
    I'm a little too old to join the Military now (64 years old) but I changed a few dates and enlisted in the Navy when I was 16 years old. I thought I was already sworn in when I went to pass the physical but my recruiter told me that I had to go to San Francisco to get sworn in again. When the recruiter drove me there I was lead to an office that had a Commander and my Mom sitting there. I was shaking in my boots so much I don't know why I just didn't fall over. He took me to a room and shock my hand and said we are pulling out of Vietnam and it would be a good idea to finished high school first. He said when I was done to come and see him because I would be good to go. My childhood was a bad mess because I had to raise my younger siblings. I don't remember why I never went back but not going back was the biggest mistake I have ever made. I still wish I would have enlisted. I want to thank you for your service to our country and if you are ever looking for a good Patriot I'm your man. I listen to you whenever I can on UA-cam. Merry Christmas to you and the rest of the Military.
    Dave Pokorny

      Old sailor here, went to boot in 1983 at the ripe age of 17 and one week. Its tough, but when you get your mind to realizing its only a couple of months (in boot) it does get easy. Look forward to your final destination, write home often and network with the other recruits. I have a daughter that leaves for Navy boot in exactly one week and I have been telling her the same thing. When do you go to boot Matthew Haddadin?

      Mark is right. I got homesick when I first joined too. There will b a stage where you'll feel homesick but I looked around and realized that all of the other shipmates were going through the same thing. Its always okay to reach out to people too.

      @tyrese smith can't you get kicked out of the Navy for paying for escorts while in service.

    • @theblackknight9783
      @theblackknight9783 6 років тому +2

      @tyrese smith I'm not being the moral police. I'm in the DEP for the Navy, and in one of the videos I had to watch, briefly covered active duty members getting in trouble for seeing escorts. Especially if you're doing it around a navy base. If you like seeing escorts then do you. As long as the young lady isnt being pimped out or underage and does it on her own free will then it's a victimless crime.
      I was just saying I wouldn't want to loose my career over a piece of as.s

    Are there any requirements or standards you have to meet in order to be an MA? And another question, is there anything special you have to do to be on the water and or travel?

    • @AustenAlexander
      @AustenAlexander  6 років тому

      AyeMeeks Whatsup!! Yes you have to cut a 50 on your ASVAB test and also pass MA training which is very easy. To be on the water, you will have to go through a test called SIMBBC which teaches you how to identify hazards in the water and other vessels etc. I’ll talk about this more on my video tomorrow!

    • @ipattyx8326
      @ipattyx8326 6 років тому

      Okay sweet. Thank you for the reply. I like the video on the carrier. I plan on taking the asvab very soon. Do you have any tips for me on what to do in order to follow in your path? Considering your job looks like something I would enjoy.

    Hey man, if u don't mind me asking, why is the penicillin shot so bad? Like does it hurt or something?

    • @AustenAlexander
      @AustenAlexander  6 років тому +2

      to be honest yes it hurts a bit. The penicillin is extra thick and they use a bigger needle to administer it because it is so thick. That's why you will hear people call it the "peanut butter" shot because pb is so thick. Don't stress it though. I've had only one in 5 years

    • @jaredsawyer227

      I flinched when the corpsman stuck me with the peanut butter shot and he pushed all of the medicine in at once-definitely the worst shot you're given.
