This is the regular boot camp that the U.S. Marines go thru, not just the special forces as they think. The water drill is to experience the weight of the gear while wet and to determine your swimming strength. This was included after WWII when thousands of military personnel drowned before even making it to land.

They are right about the "collaborative" aspect of American training. The core of the American military is teamwork. It makes it easier to switch people in and out of teams like a well-oiled machine, easier for different teams and branches to work together on different missions, etc. But there is also a psychological aspect to it. Soldiers fight harder and fiercer for their brothers and sisters. The "no man left behind" mindset is arguably the most powerful driving force behind every American soldier, giving them the strength and courage to fight against overwhelming odds, just to protect the soldier next to them. Any soldier that has been through combat will tell you that they fought harder when their comrades were in danger. (And there will be no mercy if you shoot either the medic or the dog)

My friends who are vets said they really emphasized "Battle Buddies" as a concept. You are to protect your buddies at all costs. US' strength is in the flexibility of its forces, particularly NCOs to make decisions on their own to adapt to situations. It was why the invasion of Normandy went so well. There was a ton of chaos and US troops were able to adapt on the fly and Germans who had a rigid command structure (a hallmark of fascism) were stuck unable to act according to military historians. Not to say Germany and Japan did not have NCOs obviously but they were limited by doctrine and training in their ability to adapt, according to sources I have read. As some Japanese NCOs remained stationed for years and rarely sometimes decades after the surrender of Japan because they would not act without the explicit orders of their commanding officer, I suppose it is not a far-fetched assertion.

In the Marines everyone is a rifleman first. Then you can work in a speciality.

loved this. you guys would be a blast to hang out with. the us marines do get a lot more intense in their training than almost any other of the american armed forces. in the old days they roughed up recruits and cussed them out constantly. after 16 years in the army i became a teacher. full time substitute. accepted an elementary school p.e. coach job one week. the directions were to have them run around the gym. they were bored. so i asked if they wanted to do army exercises. oh, boy, did they ever! so i got one boy to be the demonstrator , showed him how to do the exercises, and then lead the rest. they had lots of fun. and after each set i had them yell ; I LIKE IT! I LOVE IT! I WANT MORE OF IT! YEAAAAH! :) and when doing leg lifts flat on their backs i told them to pat their stomachs and go AAAAAAAAAH! it helped keep their legs up. they were laughing and enjoying it. do pushups. one would hold their fist on the floor beneath the other's chest and they would go down to touch the fist and then back up. and one doing set ups kept farting. uuup!....down!.....UP! pffffffft ! the one holding his feet was choking and laughing and the whole gym heard it and they were laughing too . when they finished i said i hope he felt better. they all lost it. one of the boys had a big brother who was a marine. he told him and he asked why didn't he ever want to do anything like that with him? he didn't realize how much fun he could have doing it. and when i had them line up to go back to class they would march and sing little army songs (clean versions of course).

My buddy joined the marines. He said they were not allowed to hit recruits anymore. I asked him if they hit him anyway and he said "yeah all the time." Apparently a DI is allowed to "Make space" for himself at arm's length and he said they found creative ways to feel crowded by recruits. lol

It's funny how much has changed since I went through boot camp in the Mid 80's. The female Marines went to a different location than the male Marines. We weren't given a chance to make a call, even with the short script. And as our D.I.'s informed us, we were the last recruit battalion that they were allowed to physically hit.

Special Forces? Nah. This is just basic. The real Marine elites are the Marine Raiders. They actually enjoy being the Alphas of Alphas. Then again, they are kinda out there in mentality. I remember a story once about one of Dad's buddies that was a Marine Raider back in Vietnam. His name I think was "Baby" Huey, 6'6" jolly green giant with a baby face but he would only let you call him "Baby" if you were a good friend. He was getting tired of losing his mess kit's knife all the time so he asked his mom to send him a carving knife from Cutco, the same company that makes the K-Bar knife. He kept it on him at all times in a special shoulder scabbard a Montagnard scout made for him. A month later their base was attacked by VC , and he and Dad were holding their section when several tried to bum rush past them trying to John Wayne it. Three did get past. But not for long. One wound up with a shovel thrown to the back of his head like a tomahawk. Another one Dad threw his Fairbairn-Sykes knife but lost the tip when it pierced the guys bandolier and into his chest. Baby Huey basically speared his with that carving knife. Four hours later, they were having water buffalo steaks (one of the cows got zapped) which he was cutting up with that very same knife. And before you ask, Yes. He did clean it. Like I said, different mentality.

Yeah... I always find it interesting how the border crossing (well... not too much crossing happens but you know what I mean) between DPRK and RoK project different things about their military. DPRK try to project discipline first, while SK depict vigilance. DPRK has chauvinistic uniforms as they stare at each other as close as they can be. SK instead stands back due to several incidents where DPRK discipline broke down and they violated SKs border. They always have a jacked South Korean soldier with badass shades and a US soldier standing behind them. The message is clear, I think: South Korea does not stand alone.

A lot of this training is not just to build these recruits up physically, but also mentally. They will need mental and emotional fortitude. Yeah some people join the military for different reasons, but it is a military. These young men and women, if sent to war or on some other type of operation need to be prepared and able to endure all physical, mental and emotional challenges they will face. This is not a club they have joined. And I am pretty sure Americans who join the military, any branch, already know and or have a basic idea of what boot camp will and can be like and that it will be challenging. And they still joined accepting that challenge. So if they make it or not, kudos to all of them for even wanting to and for trying. And hopes and prayers to those that make it, if and or when they are deployed, they come back home in the same condition and manner in which they left.

I love the active power coming out of the right one.

I started in the Army and 33 years later retired from the Air Force Reserve. In 1983, I went through parachute school and it was the most intense school I had ever been through because I was so afraid of heights. The military helped to face my fears and overcome them. The discipline and dedication that they instilled in me has helped through out my life.

This was fun to watch. Thanks 😊 Hehe💜

Accidentally came across this video. So, thought I would watch it. Special Forces for 3 years in Army then 18 years Navy. Veteran. I am surprised how much you guys got wrong. First thing is Getting wet while wearing uniform is standard. Not only for Special Forces. Everyone must be able to swim and survive. I could say a lot more. But I won't as I guess it was all in fun. Which kind of annoys me a little also. I can't find any of it funny when you see the results of what war does to a person. Which is exactly what they are training for. Been in and out of Psych wards with PTSD and its hard to see the funny side of it. I do like some of your videos comparing one culture to the other. This one is a bit raw for me.

Their marines they are around water and work with the navy alot swimming is a requirement for several of our military branches

Wonder if there is as much competition/rivalry between the branches of the military in SK as there is in the US? Tho we talk shit to eachother I have no doubt at the end of the day that they will all die for eachother, think of it as siblings messing with eachother but once an outsider messes with one of the siblings they all join in to help

The Marines get less funding then the Army but their standards are higher even tho people joke about them eating crayon, especially red ones, and being stupid.
