Inside look at Coast Guard boot camp in Cape May 

RJJR Marines don’t have to go to any other basic trainings if they decide to switch. Ranches

I went to A school with Wilford and Shreves and work with them now

Thank you for your service brother

@@JustinSmith-yx1wx for the Coast Guard, all other branches (Marines included) have to go through DEPOT, a three-week abbreviated boot camp. But the wait time for DEPOT can get long, so plenty just choose to go through the full thing. Source: Am a Coastie and my boot camp squad bay leader was a prior service Marine.

My son’s dream is to join the CG, thank you for your service sir. Praying that my son will have the opportunity to serve as well

- It really is! The most people enlist in each branch of the military by highest to lowest. Are the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard(like you and I said myself it’s underrated)!

Thank you for your service^

You're not a former US MARINE, you're a US MARINE.

Fun fact: As the marine is related to the Navy. The USCG is modeled right after the marines bootcamp and overall training. U might as well consider the uscg as a close little brother.

A Former Marine?? lmao what did you quit? Personally Iam a Retired Marine MOS 0317 but will ALWAYS be a Marine!!

@@garyfarrall53 0311, 5811,and a range coach for two years. Parris island, camp lejune, kbay hawaii, Phillipine islands. Okinawa japan. Any more questions GARY?

@@garyfarrall53 well good for you !👏

They take them too.

@Convertible they trained the first BUDs classes , basically the proto-Navy Seals. Humped in the South American jungle right next to the Army Rangers fighting drug lords and destroying labs. They have some of the best marksmen. Have some respect

@Convertible oh, they drove the LCTs right to the Normandy beaches and in every landing on the Pacific campaign. They single handedly stopped the insurgents’ access to weapons via maritime means in both Iraq and Afghanistan. But you are a moron that thinks they know everything

Combat illegal drug trafficking fishery patrol environmental protection/cleanup. AIDS to navigation, law enforcement (to an extent) I did 8 years 1994-2002. I’m pretty sure that some things have changed. I know a lot of the rates have changed and new ones have been added and renamed

My dad said he was in for 4 years and all they did was nothing, and everyone would always die before he or someone he knew could get there to rescue them

@@jmann016 Pretty cool lie bro.

@@jmann016 sure buddy

@@jmann016 er my grandpa was actually a coast guard and he told me story's of when he was on it and this isn't true at all

The Goblin they do not do more than any other service on any day whatsoever

Patrick Schmid I disagree

Barone di Piemonte I 100% agree! The other branches get recognition but not the CG. Completely unfair, the CG is definitely one of the more helpful day to day branches

So basically LEO on water

They’re trained to attack too cause the make big contraband bust in the oceans.

Shut up

PoltergeistR6S exactly I don’t want to be sent out to kill or be shot at I want to save people in need so I’m joining the coast guard to do just that people are gonna need me so I’ll be right there I’m gonna do this for my family friends the girl I love myself and my country I will do it so others may live

@@violetraven9440 yeah coast guard intercepts drug shipments and terroists trying to arrive in the USA so ..yeah don't expect it to be all about saving

Angel Perez exactly it’s not all about saving people they have a few jobs to save people but that’s the smallest part of it

PoltergeistR6S I can’t to go but I can’t decide if I want to go into the Navy or Coast Guard. I want to be an officer in the K-9 unit when I graduate. Any advice

Judge Dredd It's nothing against none of the other branches. We are just all competitive. At the end of the we all end up working together and win wars both foreign and domestic because we are the greatest fighting force in the world. No one is better than the mighty Army hoaah.

The thing most people who talk trash about the CG not being DOD fail to understand is the CG's unique federal law enforcement mission and how it is affected by the Posse Comitatus Act. The law prevents the government from using the military to enforce domestic laws, but with the CG not being DOD they can work around that.

The only branch that doesnt catch flak is the marines. Cause the marines kick ass

Hunter x craft no they are known as bullet stoppers

Personally I love reading all the trash comments on these videos

I also went to Navy bootcamp in 1974. Great Lakes. Company 165. I can still remember days like it was yesterday.

If you would like to know more ask away and I shall answer

@@KarterBigs do they make you jump wallls and go threw mud

@@strangerthingsfanmiamifan9826 Jump walls yes mud no

Karter McDouglas do they have an obstacle course training section?

@@KarterBigs im in the CSPI Program and shipping soon, any important things i should pack aside from whats listed in the helmsman??

Timbrock1000 I apologize for being late.....but God bless you and thank you for serving our country 🇺🇸❤️👐 I myself am finishing up High School and want to go to college first before joining the Military someday, but am not sure which branch or what to do yet

Thank you for speaking the truth about uscg training and Thank you for your services. Semper Peratus

Somewhere, I heard that the Coast Guard had an informal motto along the lines of "you have to go out, you don't have to come back"? Sounds pretty hardcore to me.

@@JustFeltLikeListenin that IS our "informal" motto.

And to you I say semper paratus. Brother. Happy vets day

I am debating between the army and coast guard right now.

@@roxanaavendano4069 Air Force

Roxana Avendano well if you join In 2 or 3 years from now we might be in the same class good luck with what ever you choose

Mason Chambers it’s gonna be difficult but I’m gonna be an ast

@@roxanaavendano4069, unless you want to fight in a war, Coast Guard is a no brainer. I did six years in the CG and it was great. CG has same pay and benefits as the other services without dying in a war.

respect

The coast guard was my second choice as well, but I ship to MCRD on June 18th!

When I was in, there were no shortage of prior service Marines.

I agree. First bootcamp I see that is worthy of my consideration, other than the Corps. Almost

Yeah I had 2 prior service marines in my company, cool guys

I was in the Marine Corps about the the same time you were 73-77. Yes Coast Guard boot camp is some what like the Marine Corps boot camp YELLING in your face 24/7... Semper Fi

👍

Amiah Ames I may be doing that next summer. Can you tell me more about what you did there physically?

What

Alaskan Bull Worm he weighed 300 pounds a year ago and lost weight to join the Guard. Now he’s hoping to get into the Coast Guard. The best of luck to you Brandon!

Im 260 trying to get down to go in

@@superIBM1231 Ah. I see. Thanks

Sneakiestsky Hows it going bro? I’m also trying to lose weight so I can join.

Did you make it

Since, 1790.

​@@joelgalvan8358 Thanks to Alexander Hamilton.

John on wives computer. Papa 52 graduate in 1963 when it was a 13 week boot camp plus one week in forming company. The training today is more focused, the equipment is much better but one thing obviously remains the same-The training is relentless and non stop. If one joins the CG thinking it is a sit around service then you are in for a huge surprise. When one goes out in foul weather, while others are snuggled in bed, one should know that in the Guard you WILL go out and you don't have to come back. The sea is a great and powerful force that can never be defeated. The best one can hope for is a tie.

Promise you you’ll always miss the boredom the comes from the attention to detail portion of the job.

I've just read Blind Man's Bluff. It was a pretty good read.

@@mroctober3657 An excellent book. I've read that one as well. All based on actual events that took place during the cold war years. It's a great read!

Did anyone know that in WW2, the CG lost more men per number in service than any other branch? Who do you think drove all the landing craft on D day? Who did the Germans shoot first when those craft came in to land. Coast Guardsmen.

@@danielgrinnell6663 fascinating.

- You 100 percent correct 👍!

That’s a negative on swim qual. I didn’t see them with an M16, flaks, Kevlar, full cammies and boots. Marine Corp has different swim quals for different MOS’s. Being I was in an infantry MOS, I can tell you that, that is not remotely true.

@@CD-pk7xr Well its kinda hard to Film 8 weeks worth of boot camp... I got out of Coast Guard boot camp two years ago and prior marines even said Coast Guard boot camp is almost as hard as Marines.. and yes week 6 you get demilitarized M-16's and the Company Commanders make damn sure you know that weapon back to front and upside down and make sure to punish you while using the m16s weight alone for hours on end,... its not a cake walk... you havent been through it so dont act like its easy based on an 8 minute video... its 8 weeks long of hell.

C D Don’t know about the swim but Marines that have gone coast have said it’s harder

Mufasa I remember that swim test, stepping off that platform. I was the last to finish, but I finished!

Really, who cares about boot camp? Kids? That's only the beginning stage of the military. What matters is your contribution to the fight, boot camp is just a mind game for the weak to make them mentally and physically stronger. Every service member goes through basic and not everyone makes it through, yada, yada, yada

No shit I was Hotel 175, how things have changed

Jennifer Jones I was in Tango 137.

I was Oscar 192 but I didn't make it I kept getting reverted back to week 6 but thats ok it wasn't my dream job at all I don't know why I tried joining. the United States ARMY is my calling.

Pogs

If you cant pass that don't even try army

Chicken Of the Cave don't be, it's still NJ

Joe Poe or c in an actual branch if the military

If they were smart enough to join the Coast Guard they would have. I never saw someone leave the CG for another branch, but we constantly had prior Army, Marine, Navy, and even a couple Air Force.

Joe Poe well I was in the navy and trust more crazy

or a marine POG trying to feel better about themself

GERMAN J0KER this is an actual branch of the military and before you bring up that it belongs to dept of defense remember that there are 2 branches of the military army and navy the airforce is a company and the marines is the navy's dept. And in times of war they help secure ports as well as assist in counter piracy ops in places such as the infamous gulf of aiden or through Panama even learn your shit ass mouth

Thank you sir! CG GM1 1977- 99.

Urban Marksman Hollywood marine

Hey coast guard is second to marine core boot camp

lol no.

Ryan Bacarella not even close to being true 😂

LMFAO! NO it's not.

Was there pre training requirement or tests, how long from the time you signed up until leaving for Boot camp? Did you decide how soon or late you wanted to go to camp?

john peck this is the second hardest basic training

Michael Stutts the marines of course

Michael Stutts I'm referring to basic

OSUT is basic with AIT so that's long.

Yeah I’m surprised the Navy’s Training isn’t like this. I ship out in June & I feel like the navy should have more of a challenge.

Anything the Gunny says is legit.

you mean this guy? imgur.com/gallery/xpZ5G6R

RIP

If only the word club was glub

So much for a brother in arms

Matt Q 3:24 Sigh. Put tray down. Get in PO's face. "BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK PETTY OFFICER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Carry on.

Yea I don't get why they need to stress the recruits out during meal time. There's plenty of hours in a day to do that.

@@pankourlaut The only time we had that wasn't extreme stress was sleeping, during classes, and 4 hours each sunday

@@pankourlaut because we’re more likely to face a life-or-death situation than the other branches, outside of war. At my station, the BMs couldn’t even sit down to eat one day, because they had back-to-back search and rescue missions.

Why do you regret enlisting? Just curious. ALSO, how old are you currently?

TenaciousB LOL

Shit its harder than army and navy bootcamp. Navy bootcamp from experience

R Lee Ermery

Sara true lmao, just a bunch of folding, bed making repetition

Harder then army boot camp I call bullshit on that

Slurpey every branch can send you back to training day 1

Slurpey they go into hurricanes for Pete’s sake. They’re heroes just as much as any other vet.

that wasn't the statement...the statement was other enlisted personnel are trash talking the USCG. Read before you comment.

For failure to continue thats about it.

Slurpey I can't speak for everyone but as for myself I only talk crap about "Coasties" when they try to convince me that they are in the military. I know that times have changed since I was in the Navy. When I served there was no Homeland Security yet. The Coast guard was part of the Department of Transportation unless during time of war. The Coast Guard does some amazing stuff no doubt. That still doesn't make them part of the military. If the Coast Guard becomes a part of the DoD and the 5th branch of the military I have zero problems with it. Until then just be proud of your service for what it is. It's sad when people can't be proud of there professional career. Think about how sad and pathetic it looks when a cop pretends like they are like an FBI agent or SWAT is somehow Special Forces. They might have the same gear but they aren't the same thing. Can you see what I mean? As for saving lives, ALL branches of the military save lives. That's the whole point of the military. We serve and protect our constitutional way of life. Some missions involve taking life while others involved shielding life. They are both equally important to securing our freedoms. The Coast Guard does the life saving, shore patrol thing very well. That's great and all but I'm not going to say that saving lives is more important than taking lives. That's just silly, juvenile, romanticism of what the "Coasties" core mission is versus the military core mission. Anyway, believe it or not as a Navy veteran I wish everyone in the Coast Guard the best. I hope that one day the Coast Guard can share the pride of being in the military and our good natured inter-service rivalries. Truth is we need Puddle Pirates as much as we need Jarheads. In the end the trash talk doesn't matter one bit because I would give my life for the sailor, soldier or marine standing the line with me. End of story! Have a nice day!

I do recall the SOS in the chow hall was pretty good. It's torn down now, along with the hospital and Chief's Club. X-Ray 13, 12/70

I can smell your boot ass from here, get your high and tight higher.

Someone forgot their crayon-filled lunch box in their barracks😢

They were instep

Well i mean that is the marines thing drill and infantry is the claim to fame but not the most important aspect

I wouldn't talk too much smack there, I think the Coast Guard has probably seen more amphibious landings than the Marines have.

Ya all the boring ass shit nobody wants to do. I’d rather kill hajjis then play deep sea lifeguard

The CG can also be deployed over seas. Everyone seems to forget that.

I feel like everyone who sincerely thinks coat guard is inferior is 14 or has the mentality of a little kid lol .
