What it’s Like Inside the Coast Guard Bootcamp.....! 

"Personal pronouns go out the the door!" That's the most promising thing I've heard so far in most modern bootcamp videos.

This isn't Coast Guard Boot Camp, this is the Academy.

I've heard it said, "If you want to see the world, join the navy .... but if you want to learn to be a real sailor, join the Coast Guard" - as a 20 year navy vet, I believe that is true.

That is not CG Training Center Cape May. It is the US Coast Guard Academy. Big difference.

1:46 That has got to be one of the weirdest ways I have ever seen someone write.

This is not CG boot camp. This is the academy. Big difference!

I went to the Coast Guard recruiter. They weren't hiring. But the Marine Corps Recruiter next door was lurking and watching... Like a villain in those old movies. 🤣 Graduated Devil Dog Recruit Training later that year at Paris Island. Semper Fi!!

Graduated from Navy boot camp in 1978 at RTC Orlando. Never carried a water bottle despite the high humidity and temperature.

This is actually broken into two parts. The first half is swab summer for the academy, the second is basic training for the recruits for the enlisted.

USMC and USCG basic training are on a tier to thier own!

What’s it like? Sleeping in late, 5 star food all 3 meals, weekends off. The only ones that have it difficult are the rescue swimmers. Those are sailors that 90% of other coasters would wash out on their first day. 😂😂 hey, I’m an army veteran and just bustin their balls. I really respect anyone willing to raise their right hand and don the uniform. ❤️🇺🇸

NAVY BOOT CAMP 1969. GREAT LAKES , ILLINOIS

The reason I joined the Coast Guard is because the Air Force recruiter was literally out to lunch. So I went across the hall to the CG.

The grass looks greener there than it was at Parris Island. .. Wishing you smooth sailing and memorable moments. We can’t wait to hear your stories when you return.

Teaching our young people how to be leaders, outstanding!

my dad was in the coast guard during ww2. he went through boot camp in Maryland. he was a gunner on a troop transport ship.during ww2 members of the coast guard went automatically into the US NAVY he was on the USS ADMIRAL MAYO. he saw action in the Atlantic ( brought back the 101st airborne on our trip, brought back GI prisoners of the germans on the second trip.. made two trips to Japan ...brought back American prisoners of war that had been held by the Japanese.)he was proud of his service. during the Vietnam war, I wanted to go onto the service, he said he would give me 500$ for every year I served if I went into the coast guard. I joined the Marines. both he and my mom cried like babies, he said if I made it through the first 2 months ,I'd be ok. said that's what my grandfather told him when he left for Europe theatre. he came home with out a scratch.... I did my tour up in the "I corps" , saw a lot of action...never got a scratch . my dad passed 16 years ago. to this day...every Memorial Day I put-up the Coast Guard flag and the Marine Corps flag side by side. I know that my training was a lot harder than what he went through.... but branch to branch ANY ONE who serves our country is just as "tough" no matter which branch they serve(d) in.

Love how 2nd Class Doyle becomes Mr Doyle! Semper Paratus! 🇺🇸

Us Navy sailors always heard you had to be 6 feet tall to be in the Coast Guard. That way, you could walk back to shore if the boat sank.

My youngest nephew, finishing 7th grade, is looking to join the Coast Guard.

0:53 lmao love it. OUT THE DOOR

Nice to see our Puddle Pirate brothers and sisters workin hard, go Navy

GEE, this was ALMOST like the military😂😂😂

Bless their hearts

Arrival on the bus looked lame. In 1985 when our bus pulled in we didn't have officer cadets greet us. We had an old, rough looking enlisted guy come on the bus and shout out in a clear voice we had 30 seconds to grab our gear and stand on a yellow square. Afterwards they marched us off to a room with large desks to sit at. In the front of the room they had a contraband box. It was our only opportunity to dump off any drugs or crap we had without getting busted. It was funny watching people run up to the box getting rid of their shit...

Always funny seeing cadets try to have any kind of command over new cadets.

Excellent CG. You put Army boot camp to shame. Outstanding!

This the CG Academy not Cape May

I wish boot camp would go back to the standards of how it was back in the 1960’s and 70’s

Have been to the Academy in New London, I watched the people in training, good old days !!!

If WW3 happens next month these young recruits will not be ready. They will pretty much be sent off to die. It’s going to be intense extreme combat. I’m talking like the life expectancy on the battlefield is 5 seconds

Went through this many years ago. Twelve weeks! We didn’t go through all this BS

Joining the coast guard to find the one piece

I did Army BCT. However my brother did the Coast Guard (we're talking the 1970s). He told me of the time in Bootcamp where a Chief pulled him out of the barracks and started chewing his ass. At one point the Chief asked him where he was from, and my brother replied, "Wyoming." He said the Chief looked surprised and never singled him out again. Go figure.

Oh dear…..coast guard basic….now this, this is rich. My ten y/o daughter would laugh at this after hearing my Army BCT stories.

I'm 58 with back pain and I think I can still make it through this Coast Guard boot camp in my sleep.

"Personal pronouns go out the door" W

cake walk after USMC boot camp

Im glad they still yell at people in another branch besides the marines

Misleading title! This is not CG boot camp, this is the CG Academy. These are not Active Duty drill instructors, these are upper class college students.

Looks like a fun summer camp

Yes. I’ve always wanted to drive in there, but it’s not allowed. Now I’ve seen a glimpse!

The barber shop is from bootcamp, because i happen to have trained with these guys. But the rest is from the academy

Changing of the guards needed soon.,

Not Coast Guard Boot camp, tipoff was the upperclassmen greeting academy recruits

Well, if you're drowning in the ocean in a storm with 40 foot swells, or on a sinking ship...these are the folks that jump off helicopters and will save your life. I'm glad we have these people on our side.

There seems to be a bunch of commenters here cracking jokes and making fun of Coasties but I would like to know how many of them have even emerged from their parents basements? There are more Marines and army that spent their whole careers, be it four or 20 years just playing war. The Coast Guard actually uses their training for saving lives and property. They are under the department of navy during war time. They where in Vietnam and are currently in the middle east in the gulf. Basic looks a lot different than it did in the early 70's but it isn't day camp as some would lead on to be. The Coast Guard says you have to go out but you don't have to come back but I suppose that is the same in every branch. What gets me is the boots get to wear real fitting cloths! We had a one size fits all green army duds that if you weren't 6' plus you where swallowed up by them. It wouldn't surprise me if they where from WWII and no telling how many men wore them previously. We did have our dress uniform issue but only wore them for inspection and everything else was issued just prior to graduation. If God sent me back for a do over I would join the USCG again. The statement during orientation of leaving your personal pronouns behind gives me a little hope.

National farms guarding rte 7 rte 54 and rte 53

This is way too relaxed to be a real military boot camp

What class do you take to write no life jackets on board.do they assign you a lake to patrol after you graduate.

Do knock it, unless you have done it.

Intro was the CG Academy. Then it switches to Cape May.

Laughing in Ft Benning 😂

Got that right😮

What a joke this is compared to Coast Guard boot camp cape May. That enlisted basic camp is intense

@ 1:50 who tf writes like that

I wouldn’t be able to keep a straight face or understand a word they’re saying.

Do they not get onto ships during training?

Is the coast guard the only branch that doesn’t have some sort of stress card?

Nightmare with nightlights stay away until rooster roar again day.,

Trying to be the marine corps huh😂 ill give em props for still yelling at there recruits

Wait, they arrive during the day????

so cute. They try so hard to act tuff. Nothing like Parris Island

Boy the drill sergants really do get mad

I leave on September 17th. I thought they did the running PT before testing for pushups and situps. I'm guessing it's after? Based on the second half of the video.

This isn't bootcamp; it's USCG ACADEMY...

This is a joke. Tell psycho boy to calm down and get a grip he’s in the CG academy.

I’m a coast guard veteran and I can tell you, THAT isn’t boot camp, that’s the coast guard academy. It even says that on their shirts and the ones doing the yelling have upper class cadet ranks on their shoulder boards.

Marine corps boot camp and Coast Guard are the 2 hardest.

This is the academy in New London CT it's not C G boot camp

I thought coast guard was about saving life’s and keep the coastline safe

Ok guys who threw that!

brings back memoties

Looks like navy boot camp

This video is the CG Academy not boot camp.

This is defintly academy 😂😂 bootcamp you get there at close to midnight not bright and shiny

Would love @Jamesons Travels to make a video on this

1:59 this seems familiar

C’mon. It’s the Coast Guard. With utmost respect, I mean…why all the yelling? lol, it’s the Coast Guard

Charlie 123 company 1986 here. USCG. Da best.

How many people going into Coast Guard, that has never been on a boat or can even swim?

So the guys get their hair shaved off - Does that go for the new female recruits too ?

Why are they shouting like it’s the army what a load of bs

How does no one laugh? It would take all of my willpower just to keep a straight face…😅

Que manera de dar gritos al vicio, más es lo que gritan que otra cosa.

Love how everyone tries to be as hard and imitate the USMC 😂 coasties trying to be intimidating but end up looking foolish

Life guards have an academy ?

They dont scare me 😂

Why Dont They Shave The Women?? Doesn't Seem Fair?? Everyone Is Equal These Days??

I always have to laugh at the Coast Guard boot videos. The coast guard is the most mellow of all services. Do these people really need to yell and treat their recruits like the Army?

This is a JOKE ! Dude is trying to be all hard with everyone. You want hard core go to the Marine Corps.

More yelling than in the army

No sprayers unless Niagara waters cadets and under on farmlands trainings.,

It's where you end up

Not Training Center Cape May

boots hazing boots

They think it’s the army

take this job and shove it

I’m embarrassed…. At 70 years old, I believe I could still make it through this generations boot camp. It was definitely different in my time. You didn’t mosey from place to place. You ran. Cape May June 72 Victor 18 company . I got caught smoking. Had 10 lit cigarettes in my mouth when the trashcan was put over my head. Many went through PT carrying their sea bags. The Chief found a pubic hair on a urinal during inspection. We were doing push-ups and being screamed at until someone finally “confessed” to the crime. It was kinda funny cause the Chief was so animated, but the punishment sucked.

Lmao 🤣 🤣 this is ROTC 😂

Personal pronouns out the door YES!!!!! This needs to b instructed to the WORLD not just coast guard boot camp or academy THIS IS THE WAY
