Someone calls the training of the marine corps of the PLA Navy as "abyss of misery" and someone calls it as "beasts training in barracks".​


The amphibious frogmen team is the knockout unit of the marine corps of the PLA Navy. The members of the amphibious frogmen team are the "soldiers among the soldiers", enjoying a good reputation of the "heavenly soldiers" in the PLA Navy.

During the body-building training, each frogman ties a sand bag on his leg and keeps it on the leg 24 hours round. Every morning and evening, they run 5 kilometers respectively with stones and bricks in their hands and they have to finish one hundred push-ups, one hundred sit-ups, one hundred trust-fists in horse-riding step, one hundred handstands and one hundred belly-drawings. During the 4-hour-long basic subjects training in the morning, they train the items of 400-meter obstacles, hand grenade throwing, shooting, bayonet drill and military boxing. During noontime, they sit in the seawater and are exposed to the hot sun for one to two hours. And in the afternoon, they continue to practice swimming in battle gear at sea, catch and fight at the sand beach and so on.

As a frogman, besides the basic military skills, he has to master other military skills of vehicle driving and vessel operating, steep cliff climbing, diving and under water bombing, map positioning and field surviving.

Re: Chinese military photos

I think that there is a good reason why the type-85 SMG is still around, especially in units such as these in which almost all of there missions are going to be covert and or behind enemy lines. If you notice, the frogman leading the unit is normally the one carrying the suppressed SMG, so that if he sees an enemy combatant he can quickly and quietly take them out without revealing there position.

One quick question about the frogmens' type-95s. In the US Navy SEALs, their M-4/M-16s are specially designed to be waterproof, and that includes the reciever, mag well, eject port, barrel and anywhere else where water might be able to seep through thus causing a catastrophic failure of the weapon when you try to fire it, and it can even injure or even kill the man behind the weapon. I was just wondering if the Chinese type-95 are built to the same special specs for spec-ops?

In this vid it shows a Type 95 being submerged in water (for 10 minutes, at least it's what it says), and then being able to be used normally.
However the magazine isn't put into the water...
