00:00 "Training" at Shindayama Garrison, Osaka
02:16 (1) What is a JSDF Candidate?
The Ground Self-Defense Force Shintayama Garrison is located in Izumi City, Osaka. It is the only one in Osaka Prefecture that has combat units, and is the keystone of Osaka's defense. They are Self-Defense Force cadets, who are trained in the basics of the Self-Defense Forces here for three months. After waking up, what will their appearance be like on the rooftop?
02:43 ②First, the morning routine of "SDF gymnastics" begins.
The 5-minute full-body exercise is harder than radio calisthenics. The day begins and ends with training, and there is not a moment to catch one's breath. They are also hurriedly preparing for training, hoping they haven't forgotten anything... They are checked by their superiors for their equipment. They are ordered to wear leather gloves. One of them, for some reason, does not follow the instructions... He seems to have forgotten his gloves... A superior officer soon arrives!
05:12 ③In the woods... "Camouflage?" This is also a great training~!
To training on the training ground. They were gathered in the woods. In their hands were makeup tools? Makeup for hiding in the woods and monitoring the enemy. Natural makeup is important, but this trooper looked unnatural. Furthermore, the helmets were camouflaged with tree branches growing on the spot. And then the team went into the bushes.......and there were only four of them hiding! Looks like a good job for a first time...
07:20 You can't train if you're hungry...? What is the "Mili-Meshi" that comes with three meals?
After training was over, it was time for the long awaited "Mili-Meals. The training session was over and it was time to eat... and the group was ready to go.
Why do you eat white rice without a bowl of rice? Is it for bodybuilding? Is eating part of their training?
10:09 What is "Poplar," a popular spot at Shindayama Garrison?
A mysterious place that I go to night after night. We arrived at a convenience store inside the garrison. It is an oasis in the desert for young Self-Defense Force officers. Young people are everywhere when they are away from training. We ask them why they chose to join the Self-Defense Forces!
11:56 Tension-filled...their first "live-fire training".
The day of their trial has come. They point their guns upward to prevent them from firing out of control. This was the first time for them to shoot a gun and to enter a shooting range. The first thing to do is to be modeled by a superior officer. There are no smiles on their faces. These are not toys, these are real weapons... and now it's their turn. The young men have the faces of fighting men!
14:16 The biggest ordeal: "Shindayama Garrison's famous 25-kilometer march.
June, with only a few days left of training. The biggest challenge came.
The training area is the size of 60 Koshien Stadium. The participants simply walked for 25 kilometers through the field. A medical unit rushed to the scene in case of an emergency. The main concern as they marched under the blazing sun was heat stroke... They had to walk at regular intervals in order to prevent total destruction in the event of an enemy attack. Two hours into our walk, our bad premonition is confirmed. The temperature was rising rapidly. Each member of the team was nearing his or her limit. The commanders had something they wanted them to learn from this training exercise.
17:25: I became a Self-Defense Force officer! Running at full speed every day to protect the country!
On this day, there was a rare crowd of people in plain clothes at the garrison. Yes, this day was a milestone for them!
The morning of farewell has come. To the last morning assembly. The three months of thoughts of those who are going away and those who are staying here are filled with emotion. From Hokkaido in the north to Nagasaki in the south, half of the team members are leaving Osaka. Their usual smiles... fade away.
Eight months have passed since the tears of farewell. As usual, they were still running. I will become a man who protects my country! With this vow in their hearts, they continue to run as fast as they can today!
