Korean Naval Academy FUN?!

Is there such thing as fun at the Korean Naval Academy?! For 6 months, I was an exchange student at the Korean Naval Academy. South Korea's COVID policies were strict as ever and the Korean Brigade had no opportunity to leave the base. As a result, we made the most of our time inside and this video takes you through the things we did.
If you didn't know, my name is Justin Chu and I am currently a junior studying Robotics and Control Engineering at the US Naval Academy. I currently play Division 1 Water Polo at USNA and am looking into making new vlogs about my journey in college.
If you guys are new to the channel please like, subscribe, and let me know what I should film next!
Contact me about any questions or video ideas and I'll get back to you } www.facebook.c....

Hi JC! A bunch of months ago I started watching ur videos and became interested in the naval academy! I got my appointment to USNA and accepted it about a week ago! Thank you for being an inspiration.

[@navalaviation]

[@elliottsimon7651]

[@AndrewBugatti]

Interesting, they play the same game we played in China 40 years ago, e.g. slapping the paper pancake and kicking the birdie. I am glad you get a chance to study. They are our strong ally in the region.

I applied to the Naval Academy and unfortunately got a rejection letter. I’m gonna enlist and retry next year or do another commision program. I was fortunate enough to visit the academy during one of the Candidate Visitation Weekends and really enjoyed it. I hope to eventually walk those halls.

[@navalaviation]

That’s awesome man! Highly recommend going community college, getting good grades, and reapplying rather than enlisting if the Academy is your end goal. But who knows, theres other avenues to going officer after enlisting

[@denavar9704]

If you are enlisting go CTN or IT. Those two rates will easily set you up for the civilian world especially CTN. You get the experience needed in those cyber jobs which have high salaries. Of course if your duty bound then just use those jobs as a pathway into officer. If your main goal is to get a high salary then go those rates (again especially CTN).

Former ROK Marine here. I had a chance to work with US Marines last year as a translator and one of their officers was a USNA graduate. She was such an elite and made me think how great all the curriculums and programs must be at the USNA. Also there was a corpsman, petty officer, who was an absolute chad with humor and wits. I loved every single US marine and sailor I met. I hope you successfully graduate from the Naval Academy and start your proud career as a Navy officer.

[@dominicalexander6254]

hey I just heard about the naval academy. I am only thirteen, but I really want to go. I watched both your videos on how to get in, and even though it was a little bit confusing and it sounded very prestigious and hard, I am pretty much certain I am going to apply when I am old enough! Thank you for the videos and tips!

[@musicmangrant365]

Hey JC, I’ve been watching you for the last couple years and I’m happy to say that I got my appointment about a month ago. Super excited!

[@charliehodulik3862]

Hi JC. I started watching your videos around 5 months ago and got super interested in the Naval Academy. I live 10 minutes away from West Point but I hope I can get to go to USNA in 3 years. I am doing the summer stem program this summer. Will I see you there?

[@kokocrazy2590]

Did you already here back from them? On whether or not you got into summer stem?

[@navalaviation]

Yes I will be there

[@jeffswoyer9898]

I served in the ROK (84-85), (89-90) with the USAF and returned a couple of times for exercises. A couple of weeks ago, while on vacation in Vietnam, I met some ROK students (who had picked Yonsei University over UCLA) amd they thanked me for my service with the ROKAF (combined operatons). It brought good feelings and thoughts about how much the world has changed in 40 years. I assume that the music is K-POP (I have a 12 year old niece who is crazy about K-POP)

[@navalaviation]

Thank you for your service sir. Yes it is indeed kpop

[@louissejoaquingabrang1753]

Watching from Philippines hopefully one day I can also enter usna beacause one of my dream is also to graduate there.

[@bork2866]

JC ive been watching you since my freshmen year and now I'm a junior starting my process! thank you so much for all the info you have given me. I will put it to good use bro!!!

[@navalaviation]

[@chhaklitatrypich8982]

Good morning from Cambodia🇰🇭 to you! 🇺🇸🇰🇷🗽⚓⛴️✈️📷🎉🎊🥰💖 How have you been today?

[@JosephB-nk7zz]

Hey JC I’m currently at the Academy at the STEM camp. I’m a freshman in High School and love watching your videos. Thank you for making these videos. My name is Carter Wyatt.

[@dominicalexander6254]

Hi JC! Also how many more years are you going to be there? I forgot to ask that.

[@navalaviation]

I am already back in America

[@dominicalexander6254]

@@navalaviation Oh. And how much longer will you be at USNA for?

[@valeriependelton5819]

@11:01 I don't feel so bad, the one young soldier day after you all went on that grueling hike said he hurts all over. Wow, I'm amazed anyone is still standing🤣🤣

[@ezekielmigueldatuin9014]

Hi JC! I just wanted to ask. Do you remember if you ever had to do an audiological examination for Dodmerb? My Dodmerb process has been going slow but I finally take my medical examination tomorrow!

[@lukedobson4560]

I did an audiology appointment for my DODMERB, but it was for AFROTC.

[@navalaviation]

Yes i remember dong mine

[@briandebobesshort6526]

Hi Jc! I want to know how senior year going from you fav viewer Brian

[@GreerMcDevitt]

hey @JC im going to the waterpolo camp at the naval academy this summer, any advice?

[@cinnamonrollfromouterspace4070]

Yes! Another amazing video from the amazing JC! :D

[@valeriependelton5819]

Hi JC, I only discovered your video in my cue. I'm a military veteran but I was enlisted Army, and I sure wished that I could have went NAVY! I didn't know enough about the different branches Navy seems the best. I've seen other cadet vlogs but yours are the best! You've really inspired me in my life. These help me more than you know thank you for posting!

[@denavar9704]

Maybe quality of life as an officer is the best...Though your relations with enlisted and officer is by far the worse. No other branch has such a big divide between officer and enlisted privileges then the navy.

[@korsairex35]

Hi JC, I wanted to ask what your advice is and what you think will happen. Currently a junior and I decided to take all college courses this year through my school's college credit program through nearby colleges. Unfortunately, I took a class that I really struggled in and dropped my unweighted GPA (3.82 to about a 3.6). Do I really have a chance for USNA academically anymore? I'm not exactly a star athlete, I've only lettered in football.

[@korsairex35]

Also, do you have any recommendations as alternatives?

[@GLCEndeavors]

Yes, the academy will see that it was one class that brought your GPA down. They look at everything not just the current number👍. GOOD LUCK.

can you go to north korea as a exchange student ?
