  The hardest part of Navy boot camp is staying awake in class.

  I always find it hilarious whenever I watch these that when the drill instructors are talking to the recruits, they yell and scream and stuff, but when they’re on the little interview segments they’re like the most chill people.

  The worst part of boot camp is hearing "30 seconds to hydrate do it do it now"

  When I was in the navy boot camp, we got punished a lot.  Like, did not stand correctly, Group punishment, everyone start doing push ups until I tell you to stop.  But I remember this moment very well.  One instructor came in our squadron, told us if you are twins, they need to step out.  She verbally abused and threatened us with group punishment because no twin stepped out. She finally opened up the binder she came in with, called out 2 names cuz they have the same last name and same birthday.  And we saw one black guy and one white guy step out.    It was the funniest shit I have ever seen

  I graduated like 16 hours ago. That shit sucked but, graduation makes it all worth it, if your watching this before you ship out, remember, your stronger than you think you are.

  For everyone watching this before they leave for boot camp, I promise it isn’t as bad in person. You just kind of learn to get through it and make the best of it. You’ll make some of the closest friends ever and you’ll gain so much more confidence as a person

  The hardest thing when you separate out of the Navy, is getting back to that individual mindset. You're taught teamwork your whole time in. When you do get out. You'll be motivated, dedicated, and do as you were taught: to work as a team, and to take ownership. You'll go out of your way to help coworkers, family, etc, and you'll volunteer to stay late at work, and take accountability when things go wrong. You'll then realize that people won't ever do the same for you, they don't care that you do these things, and that there is a huge lack of responsibility and integrity in the civilian sector. You'll get screwed over a few times until the day you finally accept that you need to go back to thinking of yourself first and foremost prior to worrying about others.

  My husband joined and is currently doing week 1 - I got his 1 minute call last night. I was stressed before that call, but now I know he is fine and what he will have to do to succeed and I'm proud of him!
