I JOINED THE ARMY | Life as a Soldier Stationed in South Korea!

[@cincinnatiphung1011]

WOW amazing, your really fit. 575 ACFT score. I worked so hard to even reach the 500s on that test. Failed my first 3 ACFTs. 😅 I want to be like you.

[@lesbethtacioni1733]

Stay focused, and you got it!

[@Stratulax]

Exactly! A good fitness program and deduction can help you get there. Also a good fitness watch can help you monitor your body and fitness levels safely so that you don't overtrain.

[@JR-zw2vb]

Mygness, just look at her thighs. Built like a tank.

[@Ninjah013]

Eh it's on the female scale though. But yeah impressive for female scale and honestly above average if in the male scale too I believe

[@Foulrs18]

My best advice is to work out regularly, push yourself during your workouts, sleep well and eat healthy and drink lots of water. Don’t smoke and drink.

[@conradtaylor29]

When I took my last annual Marine physical fitness test (PFT) many years ago, there were 3 exercises: a 3-mile run, crunches, and pull-ups. Now, the Marine PFT has been revamped into a PFT and CFT consisting of 10 total exercises conducted every year. Thus, things have definitely changed and I need to add a few of these exercises to my weekly routine. As a veteran of the US Marines, this was an absolutely fantastic video and you achieved a great ACFT score. Please do keep the videos coming and thanks so much for sharing. Bravo!!!!

[@Noodles1771]

Clearly you're of the 'right' mental conditioning if being a gangster for US corporate interests in resource rich countries abroad is all about the fitness routine...

[@supersonice4]

@15:20 hit home so hard. Always confident in your ability, yet it’s still both the last (meaning you have to ensure you score well and give it your best) & an additional event (meaning this is going be hell after everything). I was a consistent 590s guy. That 2mile run always got me.

[@ssteph_ss]

[@davesdrones8341]

1:45 is an amazing time on the sprint drag carry. We just did this in my unit and I didn't even come close to that lol. Well done.

[@haileyalexis00]

So excited to get to live in Korea for 2 years due to husband PCS orders next year. It’s part of what makes the army life worth it !!!

[@sarahadelelim5899]

wow!!! you're amazing for giving this a try. so inspiring!

[@rexyzvent5864]

Pretty cool opportunity for you. Your fitness is insane, you killed that test! Couldnt convince me in the slightest though to join but enjoyed the video and looking forward to the rest of your content

[@HKim0072]

Daegu is a hell hole in the summer. Lived there for nearly a year. It's in the middle of a valley and gets no breeze. And, it's humid. Extremely humid. Thought I was going to die. Unless it changed from the mid-2010s, don't expect anyone to speak English either. Even through the US has a military base, it's a very local city. Not really anything to do from a tourist standpoint.

[@Vevehvavo]

You did so well Kris !! I hope you got to relax and rest after all the adventures

[@RedisNotaFlavor]

14:40 "You started late, IM here with her." Dude was upset. 😂😂

[@LEMONSTERPLAYSPUBG]

That form on the plank was insane, especially after 20 seconds …

[@itzvictoryy3866]

Doctrinally its a fail due to hand placement but if the graders didnt correct it, its a pass and great spine alignment.

[@michaelstagar4254]

Great work on ACFT miss. Thanks for giving us some good press too. We appreciate you.

[@NikkitasNook]

You make it look so easy!!! I now know I need to train harder!

[@redpanda3339]

I was anxious when that one guy stare at the barrel of the gun in 4:19 Oh the relief I had when I saw it's empty..

[@specialist4566]

its a fake gun so its fine

[@domdrty]

The guy in the EST isn't well versed. She is left eye dominated. Which means she should shoot left-handed (with rifles, pistols don't matter). Otherwise, your left eye will continue to fight you to look down the sights.

[@Usmcjonathan2076]

You are wrong

[@11bravo72]

I was in Korea from Aug 2014-May 2015 Favorite place for lunch is the Katusa snack bar

[@catitse2]

You know a country is small when u can say thinks like this 😂 coming from a large country, that's kind of interesting

[@dominiquemelissa7613]

wow, this video was awesome Kris and informative, very different content but quite similar as well if we consider the training part lol, holding that plank for 4 whole minutes girl you're strong, i cannot. i need that kind of motivation to workout. Excited for your next vlog😊

[@richardfroste4548]

I was in ordinance when I was stationed in Korea. We had dogs to help guarding the ASP. They were mean! The Korean farmers living near to the ASP were terrified of them. I stayed away from them myself.

[@razi_crochets]

I was just finishing your last vlog then you uploaded. Yayyyy💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 I have to say you being able to do that is absolutely amazing. And along side soldiers? I'm really proud of you Kris💪🏾 You are an inspiration❤️❤️

[@NatalieHo]

This was very insightful and motivating to be able to train my body to one day to do as much physical endurance 💪

[@maekjudrinker]

Thanks for coming to visit us in Korea! Army life can sometimes be hard, but as you saw, we get to do some cool things and go different places. Kudos for doing well on the ACFT.

[@evangelinecrisostomo1294]

You are awesome 👏

[@romyromes]

By far one of my favorite videos from you. This isn’t the kind of thing we get to see and you came at it with amazing energy. Appreciate you putting yourself out there for this one. 💪🏽👏🏽

[@emacarvalho7889]

It sounds like funnier than I thought. I thought everyone in the military were , you know… rigid

[@SunshineMalaya]

omg why did i get a lil emotional when you were finishing up your plank 🥲 YOU DID THAT! suuuuuch a badass and so inspiring to see what our bodies are capable of. alsoooo the fact that you looked so happy and smiley the whole time is also another feat on its own, i woulda looked so mad by the end of all this 😂

[@AshlieJow]

Great storytelling! Loved this whole vlog!

[@DavidHongMD]

Respect for their service and I appreciate it. I served in camp Yongsan from 2002 to 2004. I miss my buddies and CO, NCOs....

[@allisonl.5564]

okay! Kris with the SHOULDERS when that guy was showing her how to shoot lolo❤️😘

[@anaperezmartinez9744]

This was a really fun video!! Loved to see the experience in the army test, you must have felt so accomplished! This was very inspiring!✨

[@DavidDavid-ux8ed]

Would you consider doing a video about KATUSA Snackbars at both Camps Walker and Henry in Daegu?

[@강채율-e7u]

Becoming a soldier seems difficult and challenging. There may be tough trials, but overcoming them would bring immense satisfaction. Currently serving soldiers are incredibly admirable and respectable. In videos, there are challenging trainings, and I wonder if I could handle them well. However, watching the enthusiasm of the soldiers makes it seem interesting and enjoyable. 10202

[@brandontran4277]

Worst part about this is the EST I hate the shooting simulator it sucks. But when I go to the range 40/40

[@bwai34]

So informative here ❤

[@bsims7725]

Yes girl!!!! You did great! I swear I was like man I wish you and Libby was there together ❤ discipline for sure

[@systemBuilder]

You looked so buff in the short i had to see this ... and its a great performance, congrats! I used to help a captain train to recertify (he was 40) and I am wondering if i could do this at my life fitness peak age 26 ...

[@kdubyaw3246]

We could do the PT test they had when I was in with a hangover and still pass. I don't think this one can be done with a hangover and still pass.

[@itzvictoryy3866]

You definitely can as long as youre in decent shape. The passing standard is pretty low but the maxing standard is high and a lot of units want a high score. But passing the 2 mile run is like a 23 minute 2 mile. Sprint drag for guys is like 1:58(most likely to fail you if hungover). And you only have to be able to do like 15 pushups. Maxing it is damn hard though, and whoever said a 3:40 plank was reasonable has never done a 3:40 plank.

[@Mayyy294]

I peeped Ken Walker in the background. Nice video btw

[@officialmontanadevane]

Lol I was wondering if I was seeing things

[@nicholelajara1172]

KATUSA is the real deal! I have a buddy who applied for it but was not accepted.

[@jotheoutsider3530]

epic video Kris absolutely love it!!!

[@lewisgordon1490]

If the Humvee test was actually like that it was WAY too vanilla. Would be more reasonable if "we're not going to tell you how much we're going to roll you, in which direction, or when it's going to start or stop (multiple roll overs) and it could stop and start again or go in a different direction". That would be more like being in a difficult situation, if you get hit by more than one thing at a time, eg you roll over while trying to evade or in pursuit when you're also hit by a RPG.

[@garrettadams5072]

Literally best info on sone places to go in korea, like that awesome mall. Great video!

[@katiec1811]

Love this!! So interesting

[@SKYLOXE]

Im in South Korea. I’ll be honest I don’t like being here. Yea it’s cool to be somewhere I’d never be in my entire life without the Army but it hurts me mentally being thousands of miles away from literally everything I’ve ever known. Away from family for years at a time and not being able to talk to anyone outside of the base starts to really depress you. It’s probably just me I don’t know. I can’t even get a car here.

[@jennifervaughn1541]

I found this very informative. Good video I enjoyed it.

[@uwillnevahno6837]

This isn't joining The Army, this is playing a very limited facet of being in The Army for a few days while doing the social media influencer thing.

[@MobiusMinded]

My daughter’s (US ARMY) first duty station was Camp Humphrey’s South Korea. When at basic training - Fort Jackson - the Army screwed up her glasses… Taking her’s and not getting a prescription pair back to her. So when she fired to qualify on the M4, she couldn’t clearly see…. But she still qualified.

[@anthonylagunas6737]

Most KATUSA come from wealth families. I used to take my KATUSA to his parents home where he would get money. Since the live with Americsns they do not get paid like a ROK soldier.
