They just released the Gas Chamber episode! Please keep reacting to more, love your insight from your experience as a Marine. Also really appreciated in this episode how Nati kept the gun out the mud the whole time.

I am a Korean who has been discharged from the Korean army. The series of training courses that you see in this video are basic military training. After five to six weeks of training, you're going to be deployed. After deployment, you're given troops and specialties, You will continue to receive training appropriate to your convalescence. After that, you will be assigned to the military and continue your military career. Even after the end of your 20-month military career, you will be in the reserve for eight years and receive training appropriate to your convalescence twice a year for three days and two nights.

They really pulled off netflix style editing, and your commentary is always top tier

Nati is the all-star this season. He performed the weakest in the physical training; but proved mental strength is even more of a asset in the end. ❤

The fact is, this episode is just the afternoon after the morning Log training. Brutal 2nd day.

Nati was really impressive the whole series so far, he’s the best out of them.

I am Korean. Originally, we were taught that the muzzle of the gun should not touch the water, but it seems that the lack of knowledge is due to language differences. They are training by giving them guns that are real guns but cannot be used in combat. The actual gun appears to be stored separately.

Respect to Mr. Smith too. He lost a lot of weight prior to this, I'm sure the improved health helped him a lot with this. Bobby is the purest cinnamonest rolliest guy. Nati, Harvey and Jayden really impressed me in this series. I hope they continue on other adventures with this lot and there is an up and coming group at the boys' school that are developing into wonderful young men.

I don't usually leave comments in a reaction but wow, listening to you Roscoe explaining about everything and how to delegate leadership in the squad is so amazing. Respect to you sir 🙌. I have learned a lot.

I've watched each episode multiple times because they're so entertaining, but your insights have taken my appreciation to the next level. I absolutely love your commentaries!

The series has not ended yet. 6/5 was about tear gas training. Next week (6/12) will be on UDT (Korean Seal Division) testing episode. Not sure how many total videos will come out but typically about 6-8 per theme.

Nati out here acing the exercises. That cadet training really prepared him well.

I'm South Korean and I served as a K9 self-propelled howitzer driver in the Army from 2007 to 2009. South Korea's boot camp uses the retired M16A1 for combat training. It's not a model, it's actually been used. K2C1 is used for general training and shooting training.

I served in the Korean Army in the 2013~2015 . At that time, the final stage of the SC gas training required we to completely take off mask and sing 🎶 lol I don't think that's that level of training, but it's still amazing. (At that time, I took off my mask throughout the training all time.😢 because it was defective and I couldn't breathe. 😂)

That makes sense about Nati! He was always placed at the front of the group and I though it was random order but he adapted the quickest from the boys

There’s also a member of the filming crew (I’m not sure if he’s at the camp with them) named Ducky who did do all this so imagine being there and filming them doing this and just having flashbacks to doing it yourself

watch their series with the twins coming to Korean Army. The twins are their friends, 1 is a priest and other is in UK Army

I love your positive personality. It's also enlightening to hear about your intelligent comparisons between Korean an American military training methods. As a Korean, I deeply appreciate and respect the American veterans who fought in the Korea War to protect my country from the evil forces of Kim, Stalin, and Mao.

I have been watching this group of young men since they were boys on this channel . They are truly a credit to their school , not a private school , open to any boy provided he shows ability . I truly think that national service , such as in S Korea can only benefit young people in developing maturity before any further academic/ practical training. Obviously they are only being given a taste of the full training , their fellow recruits who were also acting as translators dud a fabulous job . Thankyou for your insights , always valuable to hear from a veteran . Especially today remembering D Day .

someone please let Roscoe know that there's a final episode!! thank you

please keep reacting to more korean englishmen!! love your reactions.

I had watched the original episodes before I somehow stumbled on your comments video but I can’t stop watching. As a mom to a very active toddler I can’t even explain why I’m fascinated by all your insights…I’m not particularly interested in the military or any of its branches but somehow I am understanding the reasoning for many of the exercises. Like you mentioned in your prior video I definitely had a bias from hearing about the abuse that sometimes happens. I understand now that it’s not just the whole entity but rather certain bad individuals that are part of it

Been Korean Englishman sub for years I found you and love the reaction

Bobby is also going to school to be a coach as well and you can see his encouragement coming through

Watching this reaction video is more fun than just watching the series. I've already seen the series, but your commentary and insights are so interesting that I'm watching it again through this video.

They release new episodes every Wednesday. Happy to be watching this with you as soon as they're released, Roscoe. Thanks Capt! 💜

Best commentary. Thanks for the video! I served military service in Korean Air Force in 2009-2011. Because air force base cannot be moved, CBR training took an important place. So we had gas chamber once in a year during service. After discharging from the service, we also had to go through gas chamber during reserved army for 8 years. [only for air force] Now it's just a good old memory.🤣

I have watched all 3 parts so far...and I found your reaction. This is actually cool to hear from the military point of view.

Have you ever participated in Team Spirit, a joint ROK-US Marine Corps exercise? Team Spirit was once America's largest overseas marine exercise. The friendship between Korean and American Marines forever!

There is still 2 part left after this episode, the gas mask training and last one is... Physical training of sort.

4:58 you are spot on about this. They select a leader for each operational unit (squad, platoon, company, battalion). The unit stops at battalion at bootcamp. Whenever we march during each exercise, these leaders would step aside, or stand towards the front. You also have separate people designated to carry a flag. Your squad leader specifically leads the march towards the canteen (They don't really serve much other purposes from what I remember). Sometimes during larger scale exercises where leaders' roles aren't necessary, they are mixed in with the rest of the conscripts.

wow i am learning so much, i keep imagining the the idols going through this. Mad respect.

Seriously, your insight on military training has opened my eyes and given me a new respect... I didn't consider that it really is its own culture and everything is done for a good reason. Love the channel!

Thank you for dropping two reactions today!! So fun to watch this with you!

I remember in Sudan, Khartoum since 2019 anyone got in to a protest or working in a hospital got a taste of the tear gas multiple times. I even got to the point that I am used to it. Our government wanted us to be military prepared obviously.

I love the commentary because you used to be in military too so theres always new insights

Good stuff! You are correct about the squad leaders. A few squad leaders are picked from among the recruits. Usually by the second week of boot camp.

Seeing this from different perspective is amazing. It's different than when you watch alone. Can't wait for the next episode too !

i'm Korean. I watched it through the KZfaq algorithm. i love your military contents! ♡ Especially your military story.

i enjoyed the series alot but i stumbled upon your reaction videos to the series after watching the most recent video wherein they've finished the training, and it's nice to see your reaction given your experience of the actual military. the mental push that these trainees go through is insane and as the series go by you could how it also happens to the guests as well despite being there for a short period of time. such an eye opening series given the context of culture and politics in Korea.

I came to KZfaq this evening specifically looking for someone who has been reacting to this series from some of my favorite KZfaqrs. I was fascinated with the original videos, but your commentary added so much more depth. Thank you for your service and for making these videos even more meaningful than the first time I watched them

Wow, right on time! I was just seconds after finishing the firat part.

Do the whole series of this pleaseeeeee ❤❤❤❤

I don’t usually comment since i watch yt from my tv, but ai wanted to say thank you for your insight on this. Being Canadian and even more removed from the military than many other countries/people, you did help break some of the stigma around it even for a 40 yrs old like me who knows a lot about many things but not that 💜

It came right up! i love it!

The way I'm loving life right now cause I keep getting these vids in a timely manner

Great companion commentary! Can't wait til the next video!

입대와 동시에 45일간 기초훈련 받고 자대 배치 후 매 분기마다 사격장가서 총 쏘고, 여름이면 유격훈련,겨울이면 혹한기훈련 재수 옴 붙으면 작전,전국단위 훈련,한미 군사훈련까지.. 참고로 한국 예비군은 40살까지에여...

I’m so glad you’ve been introduced to Korean Englishman I’ve been watching them since 2020 and I can’t tell you how many nights I’ve died watching there videos. You would definitely enjoy there other series. They also introduce Korean food to big movie stars such as the marvel cast, and soccer players I truly love there videos oh and jolly there other channel is hilarious. I love Josh and Ollie

These episodes are so interesting and I love getti g to watch them with your commentary. Thanks for being awesome Roscoe! ❤

Looking forward to you reacting to the next episode. Really enjoying your insights.

No way, I literally keep refreshing to see if you already reacted to the next one. Yay!

The rifles they use are 'deactivated' old M16s, which has the bolt and firing mechanism taken out so they could be smashed and thrown around. But when I was in boot camp, they gave us live brand-new K2C1 assault rifles we had to use in the firing range. And if you handeled them too roughly during assult training, sand, pebbles and raindrops would get inside, The zeroed in ironsights would get inaccurate again and made cleaning much more difficult. I wanted to get good scores on the range, so took extra care of my rifle and managed to get perfect marks later, but there were some recruits who couldn't hit anything because they half-assed the maintenance. Back then I thought it was just lazyness on the firearms drill staff''s part, but looking back, it might have been intentional.

Nati's gun was hella clean at the end of it.

Yay!!! I love the show itself too. Thank you for all the explanations!!! It's so interesting!!

That is where them famous 'Rooftop Koreans' came from! Koreans do not play around. Funny how Roscoe went from discovering K-Pop with fancy handsome boys like BTS to this cold reality of Korea. Not to mention BTS members are currently in military service too. I found out that there is few exceptions where you can get exempted from this conscription and one of the few ways is to win gold medal in Olympics/Asian Games/Asian Cup(soccer). There was one special occasion back in 2002 World Cup (Hosted by Korea and Japan) where Korea reached semi-finals for the first time their history after challenging over 5 decades. This was possible because Korean football(soccer) team had never reached out of group stage to the knock out tournament. A legend Park Ji-Sung who played for Manchester United, an icon, an idol to this day to many Korean youngsters was part of this team who got excused from the service. It's quite fun to dig the history of South Korea. You can find many unknown interesting records that surely draws you in easily if you are a person fond of this amazing country.

Sir, I love your commentary and insight, thank you for doing this!

Oh great. Looking forward to the rest of the series reaction

The next episode of the series is up! Excited for your reaction to it!

정확하네요. 총은 m16a1이고요. 베트남등을 다녀와서 성능이 좋지 못한 총들입니다. 저를 포함한 군필자들이 지적하는 사항은 총구가 물에 들어갔다는 것입니다. 조교들한테 욕먹는데 말이 안통하니 넘어간듯. 근데 총구고 나발이고 각개전투 빡셈ㅋㅋ

This is so cool. Perfect person to react to these videos

실제 쟤들처럼 했다간 뒈지게 밟힘. 총구에 물/진흙 다 들어갔기 때문 지금은 구타가 많이 없어졌지만 내가 군대 있을 땐 그냥 조교가 옆에서 막 밟음. `이 새끼야 총구가 다 막히고 나면 어떻게 총을 쏠 거야. 정신 안 차려 이 개새끼야~ 총을 네 몸처럼 아끼란 말이야 ~ ` 하면서 이후 훈련에서 열외 되어 진짜 하늘 노래질 때까지 고통을 받게 됨 ;

Wow it is so impressive. I also have done military service in Korea but your review let me know the purpose of what I have gone through.

당신의 영상을 쭉 보고있습니다! 재밌어요

I randomly found your channel through these reactions, very interesting. Makes me curious what my father would have thought of this series (he went to officer school for the Italian Alpini). I think if you consider they were thrown in with kids that had been there a while, during some of the hardest days, each one of them did great. I love Bobby cause he's the sweetest but also a rugby lad which I think helped him here: keep on pushing, and if you're injured find any way you can to come through for the team.

There seems to be a difference between the MOPP training of the Korean Army and Navy. In the case of the Army, detoxification training (how to cope with contamination), wearing protective clothing, and CS gas training are conducted, but the Navy seems to be conducting more simplified training.

Wishing you might watch the whole series with the boys! They have grown up so much and it adds more to the experience knowing the whole background 👍🏽

Great commentary, man Hope you do the enitre series up to next week. Cheers!

Thank you for your insight and commentary, Roscoe. So interesting on so many levels and the British guys are right to show much respect to the Korean guys who will be doing this camp for another 5 or so weeks and then deployment until the finish of their service.

What what...Didn't know you were going to upload this today as well. Watching 😊😊😊.

I'm a Korean who served in the army in ~2021. Currently, k2 is used in training centers, and m16 and k2 are used together in reserve forces.

1992 South Korea 708 Special Forces here. Brings back those 'good' 'ol memories.

I am also a person who served in the Republic of Korea Navy, but what is interesting is that almost all Koreans who watch videos and leave comments reveal where they served in the Korean army and write comments. Oh, and as the South Korean military's anti-seizure weapon changed from the M16 to the domestic K2, the weapons they hold during training are actually firearms that are discarded due to poor condition. Of course, the inside of the firearm is filled with soil, so it cannot operate normally.

This is so good! 😀

The boys received medical clearance before being accepted in the training program. This was a voluntary participation.

there one more.... pls don't forget to check it out

This isn't the last episode, there's a new one out now.

I really enjoy watching this, thanks for all the explanation

Thank you

YURRR I WSS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO

There's more!! I would love to you see you react to them❤❤

So excited to watch your commentary again! I just watched the gas chamber one and it’ll be so interesting hearing from your perspective, love this series

There are 2 more episodes of this out now and 2 more still coming

nah when max ran in and was clueless on what to do and ended up with that "pew pew pew" that was the funniest thing lmaaooo

13:12 Yes, it's M16 In individual battles, we use guns that we don't use, and we use other guns for actual shooting

omg great timing i just finished watching the first one lol pls react to the next episode of theirs as well!

37:23 I did gas room training in the Korean military. They also use CS gas.. total nightmare

I am Korean American and am an 8 year USMC Veteran 👋 Korean Englishman has provided these young men a glimpse into a life that many will never experience! It’s interesting to watch their perspectives and reactions throughout this journey!

That's right. Before each battle, each person designates a different mission.^^

Can y'all remember Jin had a photo released before where he seemed to just got out of the gas chamber and his comrades were washing his face with water?

This is not the last video. There is another one where they train with gas masks

if you want more stuff like this, try 강철부대 ( Steel Troops ). basically a military survival program between 4 special units inside of Korean army. In season 2 they got USSF team combined of NavySeal and Green Beret

thank you for reaction.

I hope you also watch the series they did where the british military officer and his twin brother did training in the military camp too! That was a great series too.

13:15 It is a real M16A1k (Made from korea standard model). Your saying is right. It used in vietnam war. But S. Korea has developed different model called K-2. So it was abandoned. But it resurrected as a cs-gun. But is still a gun. If clean and inject some new bolt? Then 1 of 2(or 3) will still be useful.

They also have military experience show back in the days (like 4~5 years ago) with actual British Major Its a different point of view from these episodes, not really experience from newby but with full time soldiers(at least more than a year in training of military service) That episode is good fun too :)

12:55 right!

You didn’t show the first episode, when the boys were told they were going and the way they got spoilt on arrival. It’s all good fun - then hell 😂😂😂

I grew up with fire arms. Some recruits never held a gun, but, when we were through, those ladies were TOUGH!! I lost contact with them, after A school I went to a two year school of Intelligence Specialists Image Analysis training. These British men and their mentors did very good. You know who Armand reminds me of, that guy in Full Metal Jacket, the guy who was always smiling. 😊 I wonder if they get to keep their uniforms?

M16은 k2 이전에 쓰던 총. 지금은 훈련용이나 예비군용으로 비축된 총들이죠. 오래전에 m16 사용 할때는 비축분 총이 칼빈 이였는데 지금도 창고에 어마어마하게 쌓여있을겁니다.
