Severe children's camp in South Korea

New Year can be met in different ways, but certainly not all children will be delighted with the way Korean students met him on Taebudo Island near Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. These children were sent to the camp with the beautiful name "Blue Dragon", so that they were tempered physically and psychologically. Marines are retired, but children ... They really do not envy: lying on cold snow with a bare belly and back, raising logs, doing exhausting exercises and constantly shouting invigorating slogans is not the most pleasant way to celebrate the New Year. But useful.

Courses last from 4 to 14 days depending on the program chosen.

My her ...... these are the same children ........................

[beech]

I would also like to go to this camp) ... there are girls among them, chtol there? -at what age do they need them there?

[strannik595]

a madhouse on the road ......... children, kidneys, appendages will freeze, then parents will heal - suffer ................ this is done gradually, from infancy, and not cavalry raid for 4-14 days on New Year

[Stiletto]

... And those of them who do not break will grow up to be real fighters. I can imagine how adults are prepared there. (This is to the question of "Zarnitsy" and "Eaglet" for the state special forces)

[Cosmonaut]

What is the question?

[Stiletto]

To the cosmonaut: the question is about the "ostentatiousness" of the US training. Specialists are trained in every country, but none of them "promotes" this process as much as the States. And, judging by what appears in the press, the "severity" of their training at the level of the course of a young soldier in the Russian Armed Forces. Well, naturally, in those parts where the service is normally delivered.

[Cosmonaut]

No.
What is the question about Zarnitsy?

Imagine how adults cook there

Yes, and cook ...

By the way, the Vietnamese colonel who went through the gringo war and fought with the Hunhuz praised the Koreans from the White Horse division very highly: he was a very trained opponent, very cunning, it was very difficult to fight them.

[Pimply]

There was a contingent of South Korean troops in Vietnam

There was a contingent of South Korean troops in Vietnam

it is a question or a statement?
were South Koreans. and not just the White Horse division. 3-4 more somehow ran into the site of the Vietnam War veterans.

and the Australians were in Vietnam

[psdf]

Many people highly appreciate the training of Korean specialists. True, North Koreans are much more highly rated. In particular, the episode by Abdullaev is very interesting, with a description of communication with such a specialist.

[Strezhevchanin]

Yaby in their years went to the same camp, having exhausted weapons in hands with idle course , khaki, would linger for a long time.

[Suvorov000]

I support)

[Marek Rozny]

Well, for a week our students can get into a real military unit and try on their own skin all the charms of army life, including firing live ammunition, driving military equipment, parachuting and so on. in addition, they are given military uniforms.
and most importantly, they are there for free.

[Cosmonaut]

The snow somehow sharply turns into sand ...
Obviously not minus thirty ...

[beech]

do not pay attention to whether there is snow or not, there is an ocean and north Korea around Korea))) so I think it’s very cold there. In the summer I was in St. Petersburg, in the summer in a sweater, the wind from the sea was cold, damn it, in winter they say finally tin, I think in Korea the same way

[borisst64]

Running with a naked torso is a pure window dressing. Goraedo is more important to a fighter to be able to use improvised means, including and available clothing (not everyone knows that sealing sleeves, leg, waist, neck can save lives) and ensure the existence of outdoors in frosts day and week. And these Korean heroes will not be brought hot tea and they will surrender by the evening.

[Cosmonaut]

In St. Petersburg is warmer than in Arkhangelsk)))
Both by the sea.

In fact, the transition from home-made pies to special training classes for a teenager should be more. And so a normal camp, and if without excessive fanaticism, then the boys should be interested. Such camps reduce the number of patients and dystrophics in the army.

[itr]

Fine !

[Fibrizio]

Well, only wallowing in the snow bothers me. Without preparation, they are immediately clients of the hospital. It’s certainly not to fall under the ice during fishing, but I think they don’t run naked for 3-5 minutes like this. Or the guys are not as simple as they seem.

[JonnyT]

And what did you want from Korea. They live there in constant fear of war. So the kids are cooking.

We also drove a military unit when it was 10-14 years old. They didn’t particularly torment, but they had to endure hardships and hardships))))) I will not forget running in gas masks and when we, the children were shot better than conscripts!))

[Forest]

In our city, one of the children's boxing sections is led by a trainer named "Brick" (a former orphanage), so I'm sure that these Korean kids would "die" in his warm-up, not to mention a full workout.

[washi]

Well done. They bring up the mind and body. The same education was under Stalin and, unfortunately for us, under Adolf
We were also not badly kicked out at one time. In summer holey tents in the fall. First it rains, then snow and minus 30. Almost every day I had to look at the departing, with a suitcase in hand. Unfortunately, the next year it wasn’t the same.

[cth; fyn]

firstly, such preparation will not lead to good results since It does not lead to the accumulation of vital reserves, but rather it wastes it.
What kind of democratic country is it that out of its children begins to make soldiers according to sovian methods? it was the second
third: wallowing in the snow does not lead to hardening of the body, it leads to pneumonia.
I expected that something like this could happen in communist S. Korea, but what would happen in Yu is a shock.

[Boomer]

hard to learn - easy in battle

[Stiletto]

smprofi for respect photos and my pluses (sorry, only one plus is possible))). In fact, the guys in the photos are respectful. I think they’re not only lying there in the snow. With regular and proper training, new possibilities of the body open up, of which we do not even suspect. Given that in those parts, with psychophysical preparation, attention is paid not only (and not so much) to raising logs, they will not have pneumonia. At one time, in karate training, we also worked like this for an hour in the snow, and nothing, I was never sick. Movement is life! Be strong and healthy, and in general - get ready! )))

[smprofi]

Stiletto, you are welcome. it would be for what

something else was interesting: once on the Discovery Channel (it seems) they recalled the war in the Falklands and how the SAS group was landed somewhere on a glacier. so they advanced 1 km (!) per day (!). Well, I understand that glacier mountains are not a beach in the velvet season, but ... and the veteran’s main argument was:
- It was very cold: - 20 ° C!
hmm ... and this coincided with the fact that my Barmalei came from school at - 27 ° C and waved about 2 km. I ask "How?" he is "Fine, but what?" "But what about these" special forces "? -

[biglow]

what a good camp, in emergency situations, the body mobilizes, and in children it even happens faster than in adults, if it’s been persecuted since childhood, then the person will not know what diseases are. I have been tempered since 5 years old, since then I have never been ill

[amph1cyon]

give them right there. You look at the majority, from a medical point of view, they already have the first, and even the second stage of obesity. By the age of 30, they will have diabetes and the heart will begin to slam. So it’s right that such camps are opened.

[Marek Rozny]

and they are all almost bespectacled there. Koreans themselves say that this is because Korean mothers of babies are kept facing the chest constantly. and supposedly because of this, the child gets used to looking only at a limited space. I don’t know how right they are, but given that in the steppe children from a young age used to look far into the horizon, and therefore had a keen sight - everything can be.

[Zomanus]

Nice camp, correct. Would like to arrange a similar thing for the "white riders" of the former. That at least they know how to service the AK and from which end it shoots.

[understudy]

I do not see anything wrong in such a camp. In any case, its creators have more brains than a dumb woman sitting on a military education who forbade combat training for students of IEDs.

In my opinion, the kids just decided to treat the game addiction in such a non-trivial way. Almost everyone in the pictures or abdomen or glasses.

[dualnik]

Yes, there is an incredible percentage of "bespectacled" people ...

[ko88]

dualnikand what do you want now to go out into the yard, there are no children sitting at the computer, here is a large percentage of bespectacled people, and even more so they have a higher standard of living than ours. Computer and game consoles are not a luxury there.
