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.

These guys don't understand, they're not the weak ones. They got out of there, that's bravery

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.

"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'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.

Also, the mouth guard is so he doesn't break any teeth when he eventually passes out and falls on the gun.

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."

[twilightgarrison]

I’d much rather be a weakling in the Marines struggling with the training than live in and train under North Korea

*me, watching this while I should be doing homework*

[mliamwyss]

If they could bring in a former Marine who has served, so they can explain what’s happening it would be more beneficial for the reaction

[elisalsa]

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

[drunkentravelers]

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.

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.

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
