US Marine Reacts – British Students Join Korean Navy: Boot Camp Day 2 (Part 1) – Korean Englishman

1. I served in the 671st Korean Navy

   They appear to have joined in the third week of training
   
   Of course, I can't speak Korean, and I joined the training without getting used to it in the middle, so it is natural that I can't keep up with the training well (even one of them had a finger injury)

   But the way they were trained made me angry
   
   Their actions seem to have gone to a military experience camp rather than being trained to make soldiers
   
   From their point of view, they seem to have gone to 'experience' the basic military training course, but they cannot think of it if they have any respect for other trainees who are trained hard in Korean military facilities and DIs who conduct education

   I've only watched episode 2 so I don't know if they respect trainees and DI properly afterwards and are serious about training
   
   However, I would like them to participate in the training in a serious manner for the rest of the year

   *It's a translation of Korean
   
   I will also write the original text because my intentions may have been distorted

   나는 한국 해군 671기로 복무했었음

   저사람들은 훈련 3주차에 합류한것같은데
   
   당연히 한국어를 할 줄 모르고 게다가 중간에 적응과정도 없이 훈련에 합류했으니 훈련을 잘 못따라가는것은 당연함(게다가 한명은 손가락도 다쳤던데)

   근데 훈련받는 테도는 다르지
   
   쟤들의 행동은 군인을 만들기 위한 훈련을 받는게 아니라 해병대 캠프에 간 것 같음
   
   기초군사훈련과정을 '체험'하러 간 것이라 느끼는 것 같은데, 열심히 훈련을 받는 다른 훈련병들, 교육을 진행하는 DI들을 존중하는 마음이 조금이라도 있다면 그런 생각이 들 리가 없다

   나는 2화까지만 봤기 때문에 나중에라도 정신차리고 제대로 훈련받는지는 모르는데
   
   남은 기간만큼이라도 좀 제대로 했으면 한다

5. 목봉훈련의 본질은 협동을 위한 훈련이 중점이라고 알고있음 한명이라도 힘을 아낀다면 나머지가 그만큼 힘들게 될것임 힘들다고 개인이 조금이라도 힘을 사용하지 않으면 힘의 균형이 무너지며 더욱 힘들어질것임 같이 힘을 균일하게 사용한다면 엄청 가볍게 느껴지는데 협동심이 없이 그걸 힘들다고 혼자 힘을 빼고 행동 하다가는 서로가 더욱더 힘들어지는 상황이 될꺼란것임 그렇기에 정신력.인내심.근력향상을 길러내며 협동까지 할수있는 훈련이라고 말하고 싶네요 단; 오래도록 움직이며 들고있기엔 당연히 힘든것은 맞지만 처음처럼 온전히 힘을 균일하게 한다면 가변다고 느껴지기에 견디기가 더 쉬울거란걸 말하는것임 군대에서 웃는것이나 말을 많이하고 떠들다가는 전체가 단체로 힘들게 기합을 받아야 하겠지만 체험하는 훈련자들을 위해 조금은 완화한듯 하군요

8. 영국남자가보여준군의훈련모습은 한국군의 전군에서하는실제훈련장면입니다. 전역하고나서하는동원예비군들의 훈련에도 실시하는 것입니다.다만예비군에는 유격훈련들이 빠져있죠.한국군는 전군육군,공군,해군,해병대마다 군가가다릅니다.공통된군가는6-10개,각군마다 군가는있습니다.훈련과정마다 한국군은 훈련복이달라집니다.세계군인들은화생방훈련을 하나요

12. Could you please change the font color to dark white so that the Korean subtitles can be seen better?
    
    Half of the Korean subtitles are obscured by the video, so they are hard to see.
    
    If this is the case, I think it would be better to cancel my subscription and not watch this channel.
    
    I've already seen the British man's video, but watching the subtitles on this channel is almost like torture.
    
    The text is blurry, but the next subtitle appears before I can read it all.

13. Of course the log lift/sit skill has a practical purpose! ALL of the training that a soldier goes through has a practical purpose. That is why it is so important that our soldiers have PT EVERY day. One never knows when that skill, that muscle memory will need to be used. My father was a 20 year man in the Army. Most of the time he was DIA (DoD) and was overseas doing things we do not need to know about but the last few years he was at Ft. Jackson teaching new recruits. The thing that he was most proud of during that time was taking boys and teaching them how to be men.

14. The "this is bigger than you" mindset is so important… so so important. Love that.

15. This is so fascinating, I watched the original series and your perspective is really eye opening in a lot of ways. I think I was recommended your video at the right time and for a reason. Your words about getting through something even though you're in such pain because its not just about you, but everyone else who is also going through that pain made really moved me. I lost my sister recently and needed to hear this.

16. Hearing stories of your expirience in army makes me realise, that in my country with vast corruption, military training system is majorly flawed. Because our mentors were not really trying to BUILD us, they actually were just abusing youngsters. I won't be just sh*tting on my country though, we have a long way to go before we will be doing things right but at least knowing right direction helps a lot. Thanks for sharing your expirience.

17. In college, I remember training in karate, we had to do a sitting position (without a chair) and go lower when the Master told us. The 1st time, I held out second longest until around 90 minutes after squatting lower and lower. The Master would praise me, but yell that I had to think of what or who I wanted to defeat. I'd been an athlete for many years and had great mental and physical stamina. I did good and was very proud to have lasted as long as the black belt assistant that quit when I did.

19. Just a normal Korean Englishman fan passing by. I'm so glad you all are enjoying the channel, it's by far one of my favorites.

20. 6:10 Thank fuck for you. As an Asian who grew up in the west, I needed everyone around me to hear this. Because this applies to all differences in culture, not just military. The child me who still to this day decades later, is traumatized by the belittling of the differences – the ‘weirdness’, the ‘abnormal’, the ‘wrong’ – of her first culture by people around her. Not just the mean kids but friendsc neighbours, teachers, everyone, because it was so ingrained. Especially back in the 90s. There are always reasons behind differences, even if you don’t understand it. Context is all.

    This then goes to how grateful I am full stop for these episodes. I clicked the previous episode when it came up in my algorithm afraid that it was going to be a bashing of Korean/Asian culture and military culture. Not only by a white person but especially by an American, because that old white supremacy mindset is still prevalent, even if people keep it hidden. But here you are, someone who knows what he’s talking about, a true soldier, who not only takes the time to explain everything but attempts to give educated assumptions on aspects that seem to be specifically Korean. Thank you. Genuinely thank you, I’m so overwhelmed by this feeling of support. I just wish the lonely little girl back in the 90s had someone like you.

21. Please watch the episodes when they take adult British twins (one is a Reverend and his brother is a Major in the army) do training with the Korean Army. Those episodes are really great!

23. their translator had to endure the struggle AND translate at the same time🫡 you know there are times when its hard to think straight when you are in distress but he managed to instruct them and translate everything🤯 double trouble yet He did it so well, big respect🫡

24. I love how the DI's after every instruction and basically after every sentence says gamsahabnida which means THANK YOU….. You will do this, Thank You. You will do that, Thank You. You will run 10 miles, THANK YOU. Listen every action and instruction is followed by gamsahabnida.

25. The rest of the story… after this incredibly hard training day. Josh gathered all "his boys" and took them out to dinner. So they didn't have to go to the canteen with the other soldiers. But the dinner was at the base's PX. That's short for Post Exchange, where they provide goods and services for the soldier. Part of the goods are foods like ramyeon. Josh wanted to show the guys a "trick" on how to buy different quick meals and combine them to make a really good meal. Instead of just having a bowl of noodles. You'll have to watch the video to see what Josh makes for them because I don't know all the names of the Korean foods. The video on YouTube is called "British Student Try Shocking Korean Navy Camp Snacks". Josh surprises them after the snacks with their favorite Korean food not from the base. Josh said they deserved it after their tortuous day of training. And they gleefully agreed!

33. 한국에서는 모든 남자가 이런 육체적 정신적 훈련을 사회생활 직전에 받게된다. 나라의 모든 남자가 받게 되고 그렇기 때문에 공통의 경험과 관심사로 일종의 소속감이 생긴다. 단일 민족 국가에서 이런 경험들은 또다른 레벨의 협동심을 만든다. 대부분의 국가에서 이런식의 힘든 훈련없이 곱게 자라 학교 졸업 후 바로 회사 생활을 시작하는 젊은이들과는 다른 훨씬 더 높은 정신력을 가지게 되고 군대 단체 생활을 통해 조직생활을 배웠기 때문에 비교적 무리 없이 회사생활에 적응하게 된다.

34. Wow, algorithms led me here and I am glad it did! The Korean Englishman navy series is ten times more fun to watch with your insights!

35. I love how Rosco describes pushing you to your limit. I found mine helping my mom place stepping stones at a vertical 45 down the edge of her fence (I think it's called a crocodile) due to her having red rock in that planter for 20+ yrs I got to use a pickaxe. After 80ft of digging a 12in deep trench, I went to do the next swing, and my arms said NOPE. I just started laughing.

36. I watched all of these already but am excited for your take on it. I was USN 30 years ago. I find this so interesting. It was clear from the first video that the company they joined was one already in progress. I must say the marching was horrendous and made worse with the Brits placed in front. The inside guys did not get the half step memo to keep the formation in line on turns. This was a good choice for Josh, specifically, in the last couple of months before his baby arrives because he would not be able to do this again for a while!
