We cannot go on the beach anymore because civilians were complaining about our sweat on the bearch

Keep up the good work! You’re the only CG you tuber that’s still active so it really means a lot that you’re putting these videos out there! Most of these have eased my nerves but I’m still pretty scared for boot camp😅 but you’re RU-vid is a life savior !

Shipping out April 16, 2019. Just an island boy from Guam.. Let’s goo!

You're doing a great job with this RU-vid channel! I'm writing a novel and your video interviews are a gold mine of ideas for keeping it real. Thank you.

Before I went into the Army, I was a CG Auxiliarist & I volunteered to do the radio watch standing at the CG station near my house every weekend and holiday. The Coasties I relieved were always glad to see me, cause they got off from doing it & could do whatever they wanted for the time they were scheduled to do the watch. You'll appreciate the CG Auxiliary!

Chief snyder was my lead and he was hilarious. We didnt get to have our families come to grad cause of corona, also no leave

I was Tango 185, cool to see how much things have changed! great video.

When I went to basic training in 1977 it was 12 weeks training 1 week forming for a total of 13 weeks. We walked to the range and fired real M16's and 45's at real targets. Bunks were not as nice as the bunks they have today.

Things sure have changed since 1973 when I went through!

Yes ms Evelyn is still there! I graduated with Juliet 196 this past September...

My Son leaves Monday to Boot Camp do, exited for him! And his Future and his Career in CG.

6:25 "Tickle Training" LOL

It's nice to see that Chief Snyder hasn't changed at all

Appreciate these videos man. I’m mad nervous

Lmao I asked my recruiter if she knew what ramp was... and she was like “ how do you know what ramp is? Who told you? You shouldn’t know...” but I’m glad you told me bc now I’m prepared 😅

I’m only subscribing because I want to support him and all his video we need more like this honestly. I don’t usually sub to anyone

Awesome video! I enjoyed hearing your experiences along with the video being played. The tips were fantastic as well. Noticed there are zero dislikes, keep up the great work!

Love the videos it’s a great help to hear some real advice! So basically aside from the physical challenges if you can endure all the screaming and torture it’s survivable?

Thank You for this truthfulness and information. 😳😰😱

We received our colors on the parade field right infront of Healy hall. Week 5

14:34 "High pressure real life situations" like, you know, having an alarm go off during your lunch. Yep, that can happen at sea, so I guess you might as well 12:14 get used to it.

Dope video bro. I watched the whole thing. Im currently trying to get in!

July 1968 "Sir, yes Sir" constantly being screamed at: talk back & you find yourself carrying a bucket round your neck, half filled with cement all day, whenever you passed or faced with boot camp officer you took it off, did push ups "Sir 1 sir, sir 2 sir, & continue you till they told you stop: bucket back on, keep jogging. You no wash your clothes right= a week washing cloths all day. Talking back got you in disciplinary quarters, wearing double clothing in all day & barracks of painted windows closed with 85> 95 degrees, daytime with another dragging ships anchor chains round the barracks: chain links as thick as your forearm. I saw three guys go nuts, put in straight jackets. If whole company was lousy, round and round, lifting those wood M1 rifles across your chest, up about your head, back down & up again. By end of 9 weeks, nothing alarmed you, no matter how much they screamed at you, come up behind you to startle you. I was 5'10" & 195 lbs of flab at start and 145 lbs upon graduation. Changed me tremendously. USCG is a great way for young men out of high school, with nothing to do.

when I was in boot we had M-1 Garands 18 pounds

Hey Journeyman! I'm reporting to camp very soon and have been working out towards AST. Can you tell me what happened with you and pursuing to be an AST?

Yaaaay vacation on the beach in Cape May 😅😍😂

Great video! I just found your channel. Thank you. MSTCS Smith, Retired.

Good stuff man 🤙🏼

I was in the RK program where I went to Cape May between my junior and senior year of high school. When I started my senior year I realized how immature the students were after boot experience! Afterwards one weekend a month followed by "A" school, one month of OJT at an MSO then back to being a weekend warrior. Watching this video it looks much worse then when I went there. No verbal harassment in the mess hall, no overhead swinging line up and over the head, and the only time we used the rifle is when we were marching. M-16 and pistol at the range. Our boot camp was 9-weeks. One week for driving various vehicles. Went to both chapel services to stay away from the barracks! Was company yeoman and had my own office! I was in Echo 101? Back in the day those who couldn't swim went to remedial swim classes after dinner. Obviously no computers. The week after me was the first all-female company with a female company commander (Golf company). In the RK program/reserves I requested guaranteed A school. I think it might be the same now.

Mrs.evelyn is retiring next year

Great video. Is that a new mic? It sounds good. I need to get off my ass and get my quals complete so I can start making videos.

If you're lucky you get to get stationed there? I went right across Munro Ave. to the Vig. The detailer then did me a solid and had me walk across the parking lot to Sta. Cape May. 5 years, never left CM.

Did you watch the new one? I graduated Coast Guard last Friday (March 29) with Echo 197. Heading to my first duty station this Monday

Thank you for this sir. I'm currently finding a recruitment center near me. I want to join.

Hazing for that comment? Come on now, it was lighthearted and read the room, seemed pretty fun to me

Awesome video man. Im always hyped and looking forward to enlist and make a difference Also quick question, what is the CG's thoughts on morale patches? Where could you put them ?

By the way your book is great for parents! You should use that in your book sales. (Feel free to use my name.) Wish I'd had it for my son who just started boot camp.

Thanks for the video🤙🏽 when are you gonna send out an updated A-school list?

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I'll be heading to bootcamp with the CSPI - SLRP program this summer. Is the water cold when you're in the pool training? Do you get to use phones/computers on days off? How strict do you think we should keep our work-outs or diets in order to prepare for bootcamp?

I was Juliet 153. Graduated Sept 98.

What are the cellphone policies in the coast guard? How do you keep in contact with your family im kind of nervous idk what to expect

Are you still in the CG ? What does reverted mean ? What is your CG job ? What was your first base after basic training ?

If you are reverted do you graduate with another class? The next one after you?

I'm in the airforce and I drive in a ac 130 gun ship

LoL. I still can't go to Cape May and enjoy myself. O131 !! It was changed a ton since my old days. Less mean now. They destroyed us mentally. Less of that now. The things they said then would get them court martial now. Fun? LoL. NO. As I said I can't go on base to visit and not feel nervous. I loved my time. Coastie forever. Wish I stayed in longer. Career even. Got out to be a cop... HUGE mistake !!!! Stay in !!! It's the best job I had to date. Semper Paratus....

How are the test are the open book and multiple choice or fill in the blank

If you're pack watch relief, they actually leave you alone.

is this basic training everyday all day?

Greetings brothers and sisters! India 121 Aug.12-Oct.4 1985 Semper Paratus!

Do you have to know all the CC's by name I'm confused at the responses that you make when yelled at

If you are reverted in week 5 or 6 do you go all the way back to the first week of the next incomming class or do you start in the place you left off (their week 5-6)? I'm trying to get some ideas for booking a plane flight. We are across the world in NZ. Thanks

What do you mean when you say reverted?

what kind of jobs can you do while in BT ?

What kind of questions does the recruiter ask during an interview before joining?

You make it sound like it’s easy to get into ramp. Do u have to be really”dumb” or so little things get u into ramp? Thank u so much

November 161

The score of the asvab to join the CG ir really important ? I know is important but i need a certain score for the jobs ? And I get to chose the base where I want to go ? Or is where they sent you or depending your score? Thanks

Can you make a video on the different jobs in boot camp and which ones you'd suggest volunteering for?

Romeo 140

I'm from PAPA 200 graduated on 11jun2021, they cancelled RAMP now

Hi! my husband really wants to join the coast guard but hes really worried about the classes, hes not really strong academically. can you give us suggestions on what to study beforehand so that he can gain more confidence? thank you!

How do you get to choose what job you want to do if you are already getting orders. Wouldn't they tell you what to do at the station

Michael McKinney is my finds cosand

Hi I had a question ive been wandering about: is it common to have to add time onto your enlistment to go to A-school? (Because the wait is so long?) I am thinking about doing HS

So Coast Guard is speced towards mental strength

What does it mean to get “reverted”

Watching the boot camp training video is crazy compared when I went threw in 1977 , Alameda . I don’t get that they do all that yelling and screaming like they are Marines . We got the point across with out all that stupidity .

I’m leaving in a month and I’m guaranteed OS A School. How does my dream sheet work? Do I get one?

What can the Coast Guard reserves do

hey i was wondering if you could do a video about yeoman in the cost guard cus in the website it does not explain what kind of test they do or need to take thank you have a nice day

Is the Coast Guard boot camp you take pills in the needle part and is the training easy

Awesome video keep it up x145

I am at a point in my life to where I’ve been really thinking about taking the next steps and doing something like this or the Navy what do you suggest for someone that is kind of confused and unsure if they are ready to take that step ?

I’m not sure if I’m overthinking it, but when a recruit is reverted, this 8 week long boot camp is now 9 weeks?

Are you not allowed to smile?

why do you get sick a month after you graduate if your not around anyone

B-183

Why do you suggest your family not email the recruit at boot camp? does that apply for written letters too?

Nice mic

What does revert mean ?

How much swimming do you do in boot camp?

Why were you sent to ram so much?

And how’s the academic part if you can please answer both question

Did you not become a rescue swimmer

How many people usually get reverted per company?

I just got my jan 05th ship date for depot any advice going in for IT nervous just found your channel!

6:36 did she have on a hijab??

Can I be the one guy during the swim test to do butterfly? 😂
