Thanks for watching.
Dude on the right looks like an 80s action movie hero.
I'm not 100% sure if he's actually Korean.
@@M4A1BestGirl Why, what's not Korean about him?
@@cyancyborg1477 The fact that he looks like a young Tom Cruise.
@@M4A1BestGirl He looks very Korean to me.
@@cyancyborg1477 lets be honest though he does look like a young Tom Cruise.
As a former US Marine who spent time near the DMZ training to kill these guys from the other side of the wire, I gotta admit...this video kinda makes me a bit sad.
I'm just glad, watching these two guys now, I never had to take a shot at them.
They're just kids, like I was...all those years ago. I would much rather have had a beer and some kimchi with them, while we teased each other not to overcook the bulgogi on the hotplate.
War is bullshit. Semper fi.
Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service!
Thanks for your service, jarhead! And I wait for the day in which we stop fucking murdering each other as well!
But that will never happen, honestly. Not on my life time at least. It's the same for knowledge, we may never know everything, but each day, we should be slightly less ignorant.
In the same way, world peace will never be achieved. Only less war. But I'm ok with that...
I hear you Lane. ex Cold War warrior here. I remember years back, but years after the Cold War was done, I worked a job site with a Ukrainian electrician. Of course a former Cold War conscript. We were glad we didn't kill each other in Europe over Europe. I'm a patriot thru and thru but sometimes a little horrified at what we've got ready for China, North Korea, Iran, etc. No disrespect, won't be pretty for either side, but from experience I know it will be terrible
Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Just to clarify, I wasn't over there in 1951 (I'm not THAT old!). I was there in '93 on joint exercises with the ROKMC (who are some magnificent fellas, I might add). It wasn't open conflict, but everyone was certainly squaring off against one another. The North pulled out of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty while we were there, and everyone was pretty on edge...
I loved Korea and its people...amazing food, beautiful culture. Have been back several times on business. Nothing but respect for the people there.
These guys don't understand, they're not the weak ones. They got out of there, that's bravery
they weren't aware, but they do reflect on the basic mentality of blind loyalty
For real, a nation so closed off they didn't even hear about 9/11 until they left NK
@@BallisticAero well I don’t think many countries outside of the US care about 9/11
@@charcharbinx8063 true, also the US has done things a lot worse to other countrys than the attack of 09/11, why would we care about that?

Strong mentality is a poor translation. What he means is a strong fighting spirit and loyalty for the NK regime.
The instructors often yell and move spontaneously in order to generate stress. The goal is to build someone who pays attention to what is said no matter how stressed or scared they are. What the videos don't often show is that they do spend alot of time in classrooms with an instructor speaking normally, teaching them different things in a normal way as well.
But the screaming is to create a stressful environment, to intimidate the recruits and teach them to listen to what is said rather than how it is said or how loud they say it, and to do it even when they are confused, intimidated or otherwise.
If they fail training, depending on what they fail sometimes they get send back to start from the beginning rather than just getting kicked out.
He holds the gun that way to stabilize it for aiming. Ever since World War 1 the Marine Corp has maintained a reputation for producing the most accurate infantrymen in the world, and they still strive to maintain that reputation.
Even before then, it was Marine riflemen who were placed into crows-nests to fire down at higher-ranking targets of opportunity. The origin of the quatrefoil on the USMC Garrison cover was to help said riflemen spot other marines fighting on the decks below.
fear yup and most soldiers during that time try to avoid close combat against the Japanese because they are very difficult to fight and very suicidal of their kamikazes method
I often wondered why they were yelled at - thanks for the explanation - definitely makes sense!
Semper Fi
Also to answer one of the other questions in the video they asked why they had the recruits yell while running during the exercise and it’s to further build the recruits stamina. Other then that you commented exactly what I was going to write as well lol.
"If I had a strong mentality, I wouldn't have come to South Korea." You came to South Korea BECAUSE you had a strong mentality. Most people cope with the punishment because they are too afraid of the unknown to try and help themselves.
I don’t speak Korean, so I can’t completely confirm, but someone else commented that it was translated wrong and should have said “fighting spirit/loyalty (to NK).” But I agree, this is a brave thing to do, yet many soldiers who also want to defect can’t because of what the government may do to their families if they live in NK.
As a Marine myself, I like these 2. I feel bad for the rest of NK because as the Buddha says, "life is precious to all."
@Nile Toussaint were
@Nile Toussaint actually.. they defected, if you watch their testimonies and all the other N. Koreans on dimple, you would learn that. It sometimes hard watching the reactions because of what N. Koreans go through and what they are taught... like one of them once said, America is a land for the people, N. Korea is a land for Kim. The people of N. Korea aren't the problem, their leader is.
Crazy thing at this rate the country is going to collapse by 2050 its kind of amazing it survived the 90s but unfortunately for the millions of north koreans they could be going from one hell to another.
If you are made to go there...please try to stay your hand. Specifically your finger. These people definitely understand honor to the highest intent. It's just that they dont know. They need to be shown things. Military attack's should be abled but I think infiltration would be a good idea to expose all Kim's bad shit to his people.
Ok marine, these 2 couldn't stand a chance against the corps. A simple marksman would take them out. Preferably with an M14.
Also, the mouth guard is so he doesn't break any teeth when he eventually passes out and falls on the gun.
Never saw one Recruit pass out during MCMAP or other combatives.
Except the guy who snapped his femur.
I just used common sense, not a marine. Tried but mental issues.
If its a drill where you dont get hit in the face i assume the guard is there for a reason
Craig Goodman I imagine the reason was most likely due to moving between stations where contact is being made, or drills are being performed. For example go from bayonet thrusting techniques to hip throws. Easiest way to make sure everyone has their mouth guard is by not letting them remove them.
Love having someone actually respond on youtube, thanks for the info my dude :)
I'm a Marine Corps Veteran.
The yelling is all part of the psychological training to help break your individual mindset so you work as a team. There's a deeper system between all your training instructors (called Drill Instructors) where certain ones act like the bad guys & other instructors act like saviors (that's the simplest way I can describe it).
That rope climb is part of an obstacle course used in daily physical training. The obstacle courses are used later on in training, as recruits need to have their strength & endurance built up first. There are actually obstacle courses used that are designed to be scary to help build your confidence up (it's literally called "confidence course"). All obstacles are high up, so fear of falling is constant. There are repelling structures to simulate quick deployment from helicopters or high-level structures.
We marched everywhere, every day, throughout bootcamp. The entirety of bootcamp is structured with different events or concentrations for that week. Some weeks are all about mixed martial arts, Hiking with all operational gear, others are obstacle courses, various weapons training, water training, etc.; which all leads up to a simulated war field event (all recruits must successfully complete the final event in order to graduate bootcamp. The first part is called "Basic Warrior Training", then the final is a several day event called "The Crucible".
Bootcamp is very strict. Recruits cannot use 1st person words like "I", "me", etc., when talking. You have to asked permission for everything, including bathroom usage. You do not speak unless directly spoken to or else punishments are dealt out using intense physical training. If an insect bites you, you are not allowed to move or scratch at it. For example, I had stepped in many fire ant hills but refused to have my squad punished for moving lol So I waited until our Drill Instructor had marched us forward to use the movements around me as a distraction to rid my legs of the fire ants. But that's the whole purpose of it. When in a dangerous situation, any small movement would give away your position to an opponent & endanger everyone's lives because you couldn't overcome the emotional response to scratch a bug away.
The training from bootcamp teaches psychological patience, pain tolerance, & forces you to overcome impulsive behavior. But training also makes you more aware of those around you & it instills a sense of consideration for how your actions would affect others. It also builds respect for others that have more experience than yourself.
There's a lot of other things that I didn't include, but this is the most simplest way to explain Marine Corps bootcamp.
Edit
The mouthpiece is used for all mixed martial arts training to protect your teeth from damage. We fight hand to hand, perform ground tactics, & with weapons, so it's a protective item. Males also wear groin protection & sometimes helmets were worn for certain activities.
If you could, would you be willing to comment on that unusual way the gun was being held around 6:38? Just curious, thanks!
@@bobthehobo666 lol sure!
First thing, the position that recruit shows is not correct.
It appears he's left-handed, but his hand should be wrapped & underneath the arm sling towards the front of the barrel.
Second, the Marine Corps has 4 mandatory rifle firing positions we are taught -- standing, kneeling, sitting, prone (laying down on your front). Recruits are not allowed to deviate from those positions & scoring is dictated for each position & different firing distances. So in the end, there are 3 marksmanship badges, based on low, medium, or high scoring (Marksman = lowest, next is Sharpshooter, then Expert = highest).
So basically, that recruit is demonstrating the standing position; however, his hand & body placements are incorrect. What the video didn't show is ultimately a Drill Instructor would have immediately noticed his poor positioning & would of got in trouble for not paying attention to detail.
I hope this answers your question!
If you want to see more, search for USMC bootcamp videos on YT. I bet there're several documentaries done on Marine Corps bootcamp. When I was in bootcamp (back in 06), there was a film crew following us throughout our training. Some pics were used for our graduation book (like school yearbooks) that can be purchased to remember all the recruits & Instructors you had during your training & different events (I still have mine lol). But they also were filming a documentary about women in Marine Corps bootcamp (or something like that).
Am I an idiot if I think this sounds kind of fun?
@@ADHD_and_Crayons Thanks for the info :)
@@saltrocklamp199 lol In an abstract sense it does seem like a fun experience. But then I remember how every minute is controlled by the Drill Instructors & even then, I did have fun moments. Some of my favorite bootcamp moments were -- getting to beat the crap out of opponents from our competing platoon with Pugil sticks, shooting diff weapons, & The Crucible.
USMC bootcamp is separated into 3 phases that last about 4 weeks each. The worst mind games are played in the beginning. Being tired, hungry, working under timed stressors, yelling, then forced to perform intense physical exercises when someone in your platoon messes up, was not fun lol
I’d much rather be a weakling in the Marines struggling with the training than live in and train under North Korea
So would they
Twilight garrison
From what it would seem, the training is either as intense or harsher then the stuff in north korea, but the overall conditions in the army are far superior to north korea
I wish I could explain to them that the purpose of the screaming is to add to overall exhaustion and discomfort. It helps in the psychological breakdown.
I always thought it was to teach Marines to be loud. Loud enough to be heard over the din of battle

Thank you, gentlemen. I was in the Marine Corps in 2000. Being a woman, training was similar and different. Obviously our heads weren’t shaved. We had to keep our hair very neat and above the bottom of our collars. I have long hair so I would braid it and tuck it under, then gel and pin the heck out of it. Or I’d do a sock bun. Long haired recruits couldn’t wash our hair in the shower, we had to wash our hair in the sink. There is a lot of yelling but your voice is controlled. I had vocal training growing up for singing so I can yell very loudly without hurting my throat. As for the barbed wire? We did it twice. Once in the day, once at night during a training exercise. I still have a scar on my lip from my rifle hitting my face during the night one. The worst part bar none was the gas chamber. You know mentally you aren’t being harmed but your body will try to leave the chamber anyway. None of my DIs ever cussed. We got yelled at. We had to go to the beach (think hardcore punishment workout on the sand) and the floor (same but in the barracks). One positive is that unless you are in the physical conditioning platoon you can eat as much as you can shovel in your face in 10-15 minutes at most. With the exception of the crucible we got decent sleep. After marches our feet were always checked for hot spots and blisters. We were given clothes the kept us warm when we needed. But you are torn down, broken into a thousand pieces. The hardest part isn’t the physical- and I was a pack a day smoker who didn’t run ever. It’s the mental. But at the end you are damned proud of what you’ve accomplished. You are taught history of the Corps. You are taught to be fucking proud. As for racism? In boot there is no time for it. There shouldn’t be afterwards but it does exist. But we are trained that differences don’t matter, what matters is that you know that every Marine on this planet is your brother (it’s used gender neutrally) and will have your back no matter what. My sisters will always be my sisters. We came from all over this country, very different backgrounds. But that doesn’t matter. Unfortunately after boot people sometimes forget that. Just as sometimes the men will forget that women aren’t babied and we earned our place just as they did. I wasn’t in very long, but boot taught me things about myself that I would never have learned otherwise. I am stronger than I appear. I can call on that inner Marine when necessary. Respect to you gentlemen for what you endured, and thank you for sharing your experiences.
I've been debating on joining the Marine Corps. I'm 18 and about to graduate high school. What you said really helped. My family has been telling me not to join because "it is no place for women and I'll for sure be raped". Reading your comment really was the final push I needed to join. Thank you.
@@leahsmith7693 Semper fi, future sister. It’s an amazing calling.
I’m all for equality. Therefore I say everyone should have their heads shaved.. at least in Basic.. ;)
@@topherd1011 the Marines call it Boot. Some of my sisters had shaved heads, it was their choice. The rules are that it has to be above the bottom of their collars. My hair was long so I wasn’t allowed to cut it. I had to braid it or put it in buns. I had one female DI who had the high and tight, others who did other things. It must be neat. Men get to shave their heads, very easy way to keep your hair neat.
Women get easier physical training than men
I’m a United States Marine I found this video very interesting but also as a side note bootcamp is way worse when the cameras are gone. Instructors can hit you if it isn’t being recorded
Eli Salsa shhhhhhhhhhh
Flat black society doesn’t say shit
gofa curself “hey recruit, I think you missed a spot in the rain room when you were cleaning”
No they can’t hit you they’ll get an NJP if an NCO is around butttt they will hit you if you’re all alone.
I remember wall-to-wall counseling

"So they're stabbing the tires with their knife-guns"
Sounds about American
It's crazy to me how they see themselves as weak for defecting when i think most of us think of them as strong for seeing a chance for a better life and taking it.
The instructors don't beat the recruits, the other recruits will if they get the unit in trouble.
Full metal jacket
Don't be too sure about that...I took a smack or two from a DI. People don't much talk about it, but it happens (or at least it used to...~30 years ago).
@@jdoedoenet thing's changed throughout the years because some who retired from the military did told the media or sued the military for how they treated the recruits in bootcamp. They can't punch nor kick the recruiters it's mostly yelling and heavy workout training to punish them. But good thing is that they won't kick them out from bootcamp they just make them redone the whole bootcamp all over again.
I'm glad to hear things have changed. I do actually recall one DI when I was there saying he'd never hit a man who wasn't allowed to hit him back, and that DI kept his word. I don't begrudge any of them. They had a hell of a hard job to do, turning a bunch of misfits like us into Marines. And they did it well. Toughest job in the Corps.
@@jdoedoenet true Marine Corps bootcamp is the hardest training ever but you got to remember they got the training program idea from the Navy lol 😆 Army and Air Force looks like a joke and they get spoiled with stuff they can bring in phone's to bootcamp to have music, better beds, laundry rooms and so on... I've seen the video's while Marines have my respect for how hard they have to endure throughout the training
React to SAS and NAVY Seals Training please
Up
Don't the navy seals purposely drown the recruits and resuscitate them so they know what it feels like to drown in a controlled environment? That would be interesting to watch.
Denielle Chapman I think so. I watch a video while ago how have to scuba dive and their instructors have to mess up their scuba gears and they have to fix it all while underwater.
@@deniellechapman6911 Not sure that they require everyone to drown, but they are put through extremely high-intensity underwater situations during BUDS and a lot of them do end up having to get pulled out of the water and resuscitated.
@@deniellechapman6911 no they don't that's a myth
_"Why do they shout"_ - Sure, when he's alone it just looks silly, but when an entire platoon assaults shouting like that it has quite the psychological effect.
The guy on the right looks like a Korean version of Michael Jackson.
I was thinking Jim Morrison of The Doors.
They hold the rifle that way in standing because they’re taught classic, competition style shooting first (called high power or service rifle competition). They don’t teach them to fight shooting like that, but it’s considered a good way to learn the basic fundamentals
Thanks , I was confused on that part
That's actually a really good shooting form to learn. It's the most accurate way you can shoot offhand. It might not be quite so useful in combat, but I've killed a quite a bit of game using that exact stance. Another good one is the field target sitting position. I far prefer it to the service rifle sitting or kneeling positions.
G R I’m flexible enough that I do a looser version of the service rifle open legged sitting position when I’m hunting on a hillside. When competing, I have my elbows in my armpits and upper arms along my shins
@@klan792 I like to sit open legged with my elbows resting on each knee, the forestock resting on my left elbow and my left hand holding my right wrist. I find it makes for a very stable stance and still puts me above the undergrowth.
The service rifle sitting position puts you up a little higher, but unless you use a shooting sling I don't think it's as stable.
biathlon ( ski + rifle) shooters shoot in that form, it s the best position to make precisision shoots while standing.
This training video is like first three weeks in boot camp (other than rifle marksmanship). Doesn't show the swim at all. For Marines, lol. Remember, half these recruits are high school 18 year olds living for the first time away from home
Was kind of funny watching the guy on the right talk about haircuts, while rockin’ that 1980s Eddie Van Halen look 😁
The reason they held their weapons the way they did during marksmanship training is only for marksmanship and not actually how they would do it for combat
react to the navy SEAL buds training😅
I appreciate Kangyoo & Haneul watching the video, and giving their honest opinion/reaction. The U.S. military is a bit different in that they volunteer, and are trained to work under mental stress (hence the yelling and "bullying" type behavior).
What interested me was that much of the training was similar.
"they don't hit people" haha if only they saw the real training.
When were you?
@@Mortablunt ?
They made us scream like that to wear us out more, the more tired we are in training, muscle memory helps and your body just naturally has that extra energy when you need it.
Dont North Koreans have to serve for 10 years? They must have gone through a lot.
There was another video said you have to serve in the military for 14 years.
@@outlawstar2090 that's crazy...
@@TheBoredKoreansChannel that's how dictatorship work they care less about their people and make them suffer for survival
It depends on what you are. If you have a higher degree then you only serve three years, five years for a bachelors and ten years if you are rice farmer. This aligns with the DPRK caste system. Descendants of fighters loyal to communism = "Core", Those that can't trace their ancestry to loyal fighters but also can't be traced to treason against communism = "Wavering". Finally those that are descendants of people who have opposed communism = "Hostile". 25% are core, 25% are wavering and 50% are classed as hostile. The hostile do menial work, have minimal possessions and serve the longest in the army. Wavering has some access to higher education and core has full access which is why their military service is much easier and shorter. To prevent this sort of filth in America you have to vote to reelect President Trump.
@@statinskill In United states of America we have a form we sign call a draft letter that whenever a teenager turn 18 or a immigrant turn to a USA citizen they must sign the form to notify that they are aware if any war happens and the government pass a law to draft men to serve in to combat from age 18-35 they have to go to bootcamp and fight in combat. If they don't they will serve prison time up to 5 years or pay $250,000 and you won't get student aid or federal jobs nor training. But once you sign it you are fine as you are now aware if a war break loose in your country you will be drafted. And to cut it short the person who served in the military does have to worry about getting drafted because you already served and you can volunteer to go to war unless you are still serving your time in the military still.
You didn’t show 1/10th of what a Marine goes through.

As a marine, I would love to get a drink with these guys and share stories about our time in the military.
All Marine recruits have to pass the ‘Crucible’ to earn their Eagle, Globe and Anchor. We were young and wanted to serve our country and make our parents proud, but we never knew how much of a Hornets nest we had stepped into.
Nobody wants war, but it is always the elites with their selfish ambitions and visions of control and power.
Yes, we wish people can live in peace and pass away from getting old or other natural causes, but as long as there are corrupt greedy leaders voted into office; unfortunately there will never be peace for long.
Congratulations to President Trump for not starting a war, but watch out for Xi Jinping and the ever-boastful threatening CCP, it may come sooner than we think. Ooh-rah! Semper Fi! 🇺🇸🍻

I wonder if they went through tear gas training
Yeh without gasmask
Eriksen Gong US military take off their gas masks inside the chamber
@@sosa7521 Same with South Korean military. But I'm guessing North Korea may not even be able to afford enough tear gas. All North Korean men are required to serve in the army for 10 years, and if you're training all of them, that's a lot of tear gas.
Man I hated the Mask Confidence course. To this day I have no confidence in the mask.
My burps still taste like CS.
“why do they shout so much?” lmao i was wondering the exact same thing
It's to generate stress and chaotic environments.
Stress on the battlefield can rattle you. Better to be adjusted before you go into battle
Fun fact they reply because you might be a woman . 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮
I love all these people saying "to create stress"
When you practice tactical combat care in basic, there is a HUGE speaker in the room which they BLAST combat noise through.
Part of the grading process for tac combat is if the instructor can hear you over the sound.
Including treating for shock, where you scream at the victim comforting things to keep him awake.
Combat is loud. If you can't communicate, you're dead.
So get used to screaming recruit.
To induce stress. After being yelled at like that and ITd for months you start to not give a damn as much when big challenges arise as you then have a tougher mindset. Takes a lot more to scare you, stress you out.

Just wait until they find out how many rounds everyone shoots at the range. When he said 10 rounds at the beginning, I thought we'd get a follow up.
The shouting helps with your diaphragm strength so that you can sing marching songs louder and respond to orders louder. It also helps the recruit to stop being such timid nerds like they were as kids.
No kidding. In the military, you have at most 3 months to turn a 17 year old who stuttered, "M- Mrs. Mrs- Kr-krans, can I g-go to the bathroom?" into a warrior whose reaction to being shot at it "LET'S FUCKING KILL EM!"
These 2 deserve good lives being free, and i hope they can experience everything the world has. Im a new subscriber but also, I love the hair!
Whoa, this was really interesting because of their experience in the NK military!
I like how they call a bayonet a "gun-knife." Also, the guy on the right is kinda cute.
Fura Faolox Might be a translation thing
In Korean language, 총(/choŋ/) means gun. and 검(/gum/) means knife.
We use the word "총검" for bayonet.
Fun fact: the English word "bayonet" is a loan word from French and originally just meant a type of flat dagger. Eventually, soldiers took to attaching these to the ends of their rifles, allowing them to convert the rifles into pikes after they had been fired. This was an adaptation of the gun to the traditional infantry charge, which would often be led by cavalry to break up the enemy's defensive line. The medieval defense to the charge was a line of pikemen to skewer the incoming horses and soldiers, with archers behind them firing volleys over their heads blindly towards the coming enemy. Eventually, both pikemen and archers were replaced by riflemen. They'd fire volleys of bullets across the battlefield as long as they could, then attach bayonets to their rifles to turn them into pikes.
But the bayonet existed before people started sticking them on guns. So the Korean term probably makes more sense than the English one!
@@calliarcale That is good wisdom. Thank you
F for the left guy
Thank you for doing these videos, & sharing your experience with us all. Many in the states, & I feed the rest of the world really are interested I. This thanks!
Cool video. Thank you guys.
I'd LOVE to see them react to AC-130 gunship.
And a10 with brtttt
Peak 'Murica.
Been on a ac-130 gunship. (I'm not military just had a buddy who was a mechanic on one). What a testament to man's desire to kill one another.
Ardiaei brrrt
Marine here.
The screaming is for intensity, to create a more stressful environment, and for Recruits to find their screaming voices for combat (since you need to be able to communicate over the sounds of gun fire, heavy machinery, and explosions).
The mouth guard is for when we do MCMAP (marine corps martial arts program). Sometimes we spar each other, I still think they mostly liked making us wear them so the sand would get in your mouth lol.
The way he held the rifle was for marksmanship training, we shoot two different tables, or ranges. The first for marksmanship to learn the basics. Then the second is more to simulate combat marksmanship. The targets on the first table go out to 500 yards, and the targets on the second table are much closer (maybe 50-25?) but you also have two different targets to work with and perform different shooting drills on. We don’t hold the rifle that way for combat marksmanship is what I’m trying to say lol.
Marine drill instructors are no longer allowed to hit recruits, of course sometimes things happen when no one is around, but for the most part there’s no “hard corrections” just different punishments like exercising, fire watch, being screamed at ect.
The Marines all continue training after their 13 weeks of boot camp. Infantry Marines go to IST , which is the infantry school where they learn to be billy bad ass. The rest go to MCT which stands for Marine Combat Training. MCT, is basically a watered down version of IST to give every Marine a basic combat effectiveness in case they see combat. After MCT, the Marines finish their training by learning their specific jobs( motor T, tanks, armorer, aircraft mechanics, ect) Then there’s the recruits with recon contracts but I honestly know nothing about recon.
I think that answered the questions in the video. Of course training is changing all the time, I went through in 2017 so the ones who came before had a different experience and the marines who came before them had a different experience.
"So, you joined the military for the food then..."
That was a very interesting video! Surprising! Thank you.
I want Haneul to taking off his sunglasses, so we can see his real face. I really like him 🥺👉👈
he reminds me of heechul from super junior 🥺
He kinda reminds me of Freddy Mercury when he had longer hair
Sorry babe, the sun never sets on the cool.
I’m too young to join the armed forces, but I come from a long line of a military family (all navy and Air Force) so with what my father has told me I’ll try to clarify. In all branches when speaking to a higher-up you always have to say “Yes sir/ma’am!” or “No sir/ma’am!”, this is only different in the Marine Corps where they say “Eye eye sir/ma’am!” Each specific branch has their own certain amount of days required to pass basic training, but I think from what I heard the easiest is the Air Force (and probably Space Force once they get up and running). The hardest part of basic training is by far the drill sergeants in your face and if you so much as breathe the wrong way by God you just screwed yourself and your buddies. If a drill sergeant ever hit a cadet or Private than they would surely get demoted, if not fired or dishonorably discharged outright. Also there’s a thing called a battlebuddy where everywhere you go you have to take someone with you. There’s a drill instructor’s CZcams channel called “Angry Cops” where he basically gives a good rundown of basic training in the US Army, I encourage you check it out.
I’m not sure if in the DPRK if there are any military academies but in the US there’s five academies to graduate from that will make you an officer: United States Military Academy (also known as West Point as it was a military base used during the American Revolution), Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, Coast Guard Academy, and Merchant Marine Academy. They differ from enlisting because 1) you get a college degree and serve four years in the school 2) you become the rank of Second Lieutenant 3) you have no college debt to pay off because you pay it off via military service for a certain amount of years and 4) you get far better jobs and pay.
You also need to know basic American history and historical figures (ex. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses Grant, Franklin Roosevelt, etc.) I’m familiar how North Korean propaganda shows their military “might” by crushing the Capitol Building (which is commonly mistaken for the White House), but do they ever try to disrespect American national heroes? Americans don’t worship them, hell, half don’t even know who they are, but still unlike the DPRK they’re just remembered for the good they brought to our nation.
There are a good number of military awards given out to both officers and enlistees (a common one being the Purple Heart for anyone who’s been wounded in action), but by far the highest award you can ever receive is the Congressional Medal of Honor. I think only 8,000 Americans have earned such a medal and even then many have died to get it. The MOH is given to those who have demonstrated extreme acts of valor in the face of danger, including POWs. One of the more famous stories is a US medic named Demond Doss in WWII who saved the lives of over 75 men, including a few Japanese soldiers, without ever holding a single gun. Another is a soldier in the Korean War who single-handedly held a hill against the North Koreans, using a machine gun as a bat to hit them if they got too close. In terms, the MOH is about as honorable as the former USSR’s Order of Victory, but unlike that medal, the MOH is given to both privates and officers. Communist countries tend to award their officers with unrealistic amounts of medals for propaganda views (except for Field Marshal Greorgy Zhukov, who rightfully earned all 48 of his medals in WW II), and North Korea seems to be no exception either.
All soldiers and officers, upon entering the armed forces, would swear an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Not the President, the Constitution. This document gives all Americans their rights and freedoms with the 10 Amendments, so our armed forces are sworn in to protect all Americans’ rights from tyranny both abroad an internal (especially now with the upcoming election, *Trump 2020!)*
Army is basic combat training
Marine Corp - Boot camp
Drill Sgts for the army
Drill instructors for the marine Corp ...
Yes higher ups specifically 2LT’s and above its either ma’am or Sir for most every branch but marine Corp and army literally the same thing with rank structure ... when you get to fleet or your unit ... it’s usually yes Sgt , CPL ... anyone and E4 and up
Outstanding! I served 13 months in Vietnam with the USMC. I had several friends in the ROK Marines and enjoyed missions with them. I learned a lot. They weren't hampered by our ROE and were very respected in Vietnam. I also went on deployments to South Korea. I love the Korean People! I'm very glad you were able to get out of DPRK.
I enjoy watching your videos. You guys put a human face to a people our politicians say are the enemy. Good stuff.
Thank you for the video, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️ U.S. Marines Rock!
I think we have a winner of the “Night Stalker” Richard Ramirez lookalike contest.
He seems like the guy who's killing people in the beginning of the movie, but then you find out they were all secretly demons and he steps out of nowhere to save you with an ancient sword at the last scene.
Omg, exactly what I was thinking! Lol 😂😂
@@luciditymarch__ Same here.😆
Holy shit you are right lmao
Thank you for the great videos.
honestly i love this channel and video. i was in S Korea for a year and fascinated between the North and South and US... very cool watching their reactions. id have a beer and some SoJu with them
I would REALLY like to see them react to the John Chapman video.
They shout during training so they get used to loud noise and have greater lung capacity
No...when you see someone yelling like hell and running at you with a giant ass knife at the end of a gun you tend to freak out and panic. It's intimidation and to strike fear
Thank you guys for having respect for us on my behalf as a marine I respect the North Korean defectors for striving and fighting for the pursuit of happiness god bless us all 🙏🏾😊
Thank you for sharing this video
DI's job is to tear down and rebuild the recruit as either Marine, Army Soldier, Air Force or Naval. As you know that Marines is part of US Navy.
Marines are part of the DEPARTMENT of the navy, not the us navy.
MrTech226 The Marines are part of the navy. The men’s department.
You should have them react to marines in combat or something like the a10 warthog
good ol a-10 if you hear it you wernt its target love it when we get air support from that thing
I'd love to see their reaction to a good ole Brrrrrrttttttt video
Im a marine veteran. The whole point of yelling and playing mind games is to train you to function under pressure. Amongst chaos you must still do your duty like a well oiled solid piece of cold steel. If you fall apart, you die. It helps you in the military as well as in civilian life. I remember seeing pictures of korean training(R.O.K marines). They were training and rolling around in snow with no shirts on. Thats prettty hardcore 🫡👍🪖🇺🇸
Your videos are so great keep up the great work
I love how the guy on the left is just nodding to everything😂
I wish all the countries in this world got along🙏♥️
This was 👍😄 I enjoyed their commentary on the USMC. I served in the USN for 6 years and often find myself nostalgic...I also have much respect for these two, having to endure what they did in🇰🇵
I love watching these guys. Such good spirits ❤️
Show them combat footage from the middle east or something
Why?
@@bigmanbarry2299 Because training and actual combat is very different, and I think it would be interesting to see how they react to American forces in a real combat scenario. I assume North Korean soldiers don't see action often
They only show table one which is like competition shooting. we dont actually shoot like that in combat. :D
I was wondering that myself...USAF here, and I'm like "there's no fucking way marines shoot like that".
Much Peace and love from Sacramento California area amigos!! Nov.2020.👍❣️
These guys really know how to get positive attention. We LOVE it when people say nice things about our military.. I mean. We LOOOOVVVEEE it
Reminder: Shaving is to prevent lice and mite infestations. Mostly cause of long expeditions.
Tires are to imitate layers of armor. Doesn't feel the same with bags.
Lol I'm pretty sure it's tires cause it's cheaper due to not having to replace them and they're just lying around anyway.
We used to use them to designate smoking areas and for exercising too
6:39 I think he is holding the rifle weirdly is because this is just target practice and he has his elbow under the magazine which could be to stabilize the rifle. I could be wrong.
Thanks guys. Like your show, its great to know your free. I would recommend the movie Platoon.
Gives you a feel of the American combat experience. Also the Deer Hunter. Rock on
0:58 Thank you for helping to decipher the information I was investigating for so long related to my religious studies !!! I always wondered for the meaning of spirit ! I am more motivated to study now ! Thanks !
Ideology is not the theme as in the West, but supplies and infrastructure are their urgent themes.
Let them react to "HELL WEEK"
it's a navy seal training non stop
They did that video and your comment is in it! Congrats!
These two lads have a surprisingly good take on most things they see and talk about
I Love hearing Korean. It's a very nice language. Also, these videos are awesome. Thank you.
👍😊👍
They should have them react to scenes from the movie Full Metal Jacket, especially when the drill instructor is yelling at them and insulting them.
Show them some American SOF, they'll think other-wise.
Think what otherwise? They didn't make fun of anyone. In fact they spent half the time saying how they were impressed. Is it because you have trouble reading the subtitles or...?
There's a lot of anger and projection in this lego guy's comments
That would be a false equivalency though, cause these guys weren't any kind of SF.
While they fill a specific role, marines are still at their *corps* (couldn't resist) a rank and file soldier, SF are like, hand picked from already existing soldiers who already have an outstanding record under their belt.
Much respect to ALL military. You all are one of a kind.
“They scream because their badass, it’s the marines for a reason, the marines are badass.” -Deimos 2021-2022
Sunglasses guy is really cute but wondering why he wears shades. Maybe doesn't want to be recognized.
It’s a joke
Considering the possibility of repercussions against his family ,that maybe a distinct possibility.
Yes thank you
No thank you
Great sound track !
Hello, I am a U.S.Army war vet. I just wanted to say I'm grateful for the respect you two showed. I look forward to the day our countries can be strong allies. I salute you. Thank you.
I like the fact that North Korean soldiers are told American soldiers are cowards. They will be shock and stunned in combat with us.
Btw, we were never given mouth guards when I was in the Army.
Where does this inflated ego come from? It's easy to be bold when you attack small countries with superior numbers.
That was the weirdest, most incomplete video you could have shown them. WTF, guys? Pick a more accurate and "average" video. They came away with a very skewed idea of what US military training is like.
Hello! New subscriber from America! Love you guys!
at 6:50 the way the Marine is holding his rifle: he is using the sling to create tension and hold the rifle more steady. Using this technique we can hit man-sized targets at 500 meters on iron sights. With that optic using that technique he is probably shooting 20 cm groups at 500 meters.
