I almost got reverted TWICE in Coast Guard Bootcamp 

The fear of being reverted, or put on probation and rephazed is like no other.

I got reverted because I accidentally shot the beam at the gun range and my CC just had a hard on for me. I got reverted but it was a 2 week gap because it was the holiday season but my next company was cool and the CC’s left me alone. Good times :P

Two things standout about my experience going thru boot in 1980. My first wakeup in Cape May we were told to fall out and were "informed" that the Blackthorn had just been lost. The CCs rode us so hard and stressed us so bad I don't think anybody took a dump for the first two or three days. The other thing - don't ever let anyone wisecrack publicly about another company's boot carrying out duties (one example I witnessed, telling the color bearer they are too ugly to carry the colors). Kind of funny but your entire company will pay dearly.

i’ve been reverted twice. what doesn’t kill your makes you stronger!

I’m leaving tomorrow for Cape May, wish me luck! All of your videos helped me a ton

Reversions over watch were weird. I knew one guy who got reverted for being late to watch in week 5 but then the very last watch of week 7, a guy was late and all that happened to him was having to do IT in front of a CC's hatch (which was funny as hell).

My son is currently in Juliet 195!!! Very informative video. Thanks!

The first 4 days I specifically remember being sheer insanity. Then it gradually got better.

Currently in the process of joining the army..made a 17 on my last asvab but I’ve been scoring in the 40s on my last couple of practice exams. Taking my test feb 21. Thanks for the tips my guy🤙🏾

I feel like it’s easy to get reverted in bootcamp

Wish I saw this video before I joined lol. I formed with X-Ray 195 for 3 weeks and once I was put on probation I got reverted cause I didn't know my required knowledge. So I had to pack my crap and go to Yankee 195 and Yankee was a 2 week gap not a one week gap. Yesterday I just graduated, we were the first company to get the Coast Guard pennant out of a lot of other company on our guide on. I am glad I graduated with Yankee 195 I learned a lot of things, the fact I can do things if I believe in myself. I had to take a step back to make a big leap for my goal- Seamen Appertince Garcia

You seem to be remarkable! Great job!

leaving on the 27th, best of luck thank you for your videos, it will help me not get beat as much :)

During My Boot camp stay (Kilo 193) my CC's said we have a quota to fill about week 4 and just chose two people at random to get reverted then 4 people to go to ramp for a week.

I head to cape may for delayed entry service and I'm binge-watching your videos

Not me but my dad knew a guy the last pt test before graduation someone flipped off a cc when they weren’t looking and right as they turned around as he was putting his finger down got reverted all the way back to week one. Don’t be that guy.

best advice on studying for asvab

Wanting to join the Coast Guard, but worried about that swim test. Never been a good swimmer.

Tango 103 here. =) Thanks for sharing your experience.

Currently 27 years old, went to school for teaching but after a year of experience it really doesn’t seem to be my forte. Was researching into everything and figured I’d start studying for the asvab / getting back in shape for boot. Wasn’t sure if being this “old” will keep me on the back burner for joining / waitlist for an ME. Any advice? Thanks.

These videos are great

What happened when you found out you had shin splints? Did they have you wear compression socks? Was it an issue for you to finish bootcamp with shinsplints?

I’m sure u have been asked this question before I’m sorry but what does reverted mean and how does it affect the recruit I’m thinking of joining

Your videos are so helpful thank you for making them. I was curious about how selective the Coast Guard is for enlistment. I have heard that even if you pass all the requirements and pass the A.S.V.A.B. you may not be able to join because of how small the branch is. If you have any knowledge or info about the selectiveness of the service i'd rely appreciate it.

Were there "good" moments in boot camp? Or just constant berating.

I didnt have self confidence

What does he mean at 9:33 when they got in trouble for writing notes? Like secret notes to friends or like study notes? And why did they get in trouble for that?

It was the most easiest 12 week I ever did.We had 12 weeks when I went thru in 1974 Papa 91.But back then we didn't play Play Stations.We were outside playing everyday.I was in the best shape in my life.I came really close joining the Marines.BTW people get everything in writing when you join.

Your videos are cool! Wow boot camp seems hard! Do you went to A-school in the end? AST sounds really cool 😊

So you took 10 weeks to graduate instead of 8?

I leave in 2 days 😂

What is rescue summer school? I need to get in shape. Please answer.

In the CG do the recruits still spit shine boots & shoes like I did in Air Force Basic Training ?

Thank you for mentioning that your spouse may have a job they can't leave. I just DEPed-in yesterday but now my husband is freaking out because he's worried we'd have to move out of LA for my first duty station. He thinks I can get something in my contract that says I need to be in LA- especially because we already live on base and he makes the most money -but I don't think I can. Would you know anything about that?

I have a question. If a boatswainmate Carrie's a sidearm. Do they still rescue people

Thanks for the insight! I'm leaving on the 24th. I just can't pass my run so they want to hold me back. So am I better off going at a later date? My run time for a mile and a half is about 14 minutes

I wonder if we raised our children like this what would happen. Real men are made by love. This is why the military has a shortage.

How was the 1.5 mile run in 12:51???

Anyone here from Lima 155?

Did you change your mind about becoming a rescue swimmer?

Was there anybody in their 30's in your group , in basic training , I wanna go coastguard reserve

Rammmmmmp

Love these videos! What is your rate?

I’m 25, is that too old or no?

What is it like trying to retake your asvab while in the coast guard?

Hey man I would like you to talk to me a lil more about it I need all the advice I can get I am 18 just got out of high school and I am planning on applying some time soon

Can you do a video on reserve

I went through Cape May boot camp starting January 1963 and we did 16 weeks. Why is it only 8 weeks now ?

I'm 26 and I'm very intrigued with the coast guard is there an age cap to join

Do they ever kick someone out for being reverted "X" number of times?

Hey man how can I watch the waiting list ? For the a school What score do I need to qualify for bm ?

Very nice...Echo company 118...

where are you based

I leave January 8th woot

i was india 203
