If Navy boot is easy,I sure wish they did not send me to that short tour to the Marines when I got in trouble for having a dip of skoal in my lip.I was Drill company 927 in San Diego Ca. Drill company boot was hard enough but the Marines worked my BUTT OFF. They gave an order and said forever begin.
Yeah, they aren't that nice
back in 81 at great lakes they threw our clothes at us and none of it fit. I had blisters on my feet for a whole boot camp lol
This is sooooooo different than the Army and Marines.
tennis shoes?
wow so much easier…..
I was a boy scout when I was 10 yrs old. same training in this video. haha
USMC Boot Camp and US Army at Fort Benning are the real deals (the other army ones are softer from what I heard).
Anyone shipping out 20170725?
screwed up putting women in navy-they belong on the hospital ships like the uss repose
lieing bastards- they tell you in highschool to sign up before graduation and you will have a school of choice to learn something-then you get orders to go to a ship and you mop and sweet and paint then cant get a job when you get out
I did this very boot camp and I can tell you it's only tame because these RDCs know there are cameras on them. It's like an episode of COPS when the police seem polite and tame, because they know the cameras are on them. Trust me, they are not that polite and soft on camera.
lol this is fake! Yo the airport was hostile af.
navy bootcamp was cool all you gotta do is listen and the navy workouts are easier than my usual workouts
I'm signing in tommorow I pray to succeed in the navy and become better person that honors his country and teammates.
I went to the Great Lakes Naval Base for encampment and we saw the new Navy recruits marching, and it was bad, but they will learn just like everyone else.
Navy cadets on phone " hey I will call you in three weeks or so this will be interesting.
Marines cadets on phone This is recruit 82843 I have arrived safely at my destination. Do not send me bulky or perishable items. I will call you in 3-5 days.

In my way of thinking Trump wants a wall between Mexico and USA taller than the Berlin wall was in it's day
