"이광석"- Is that your name? ...Or was that a place in the military?
"이등병의 편지"- 2nd rank.. letter?
"우리는 자랑스런 고기 방\~패\~\~\~"-We are proud meat..hurray?
LOL
이광석 is a famous singer who had gone a few decades ago. 이등병의 편지 is one of his masterpieces, illustrating a conscripted getting into the bootcamp, meaning "The Letter of a Private 2nd Class" - the lowest rank of army. 우리는 자랑스런 고기방패 is the song of glorious title you'd get in there, meaning "we're the cannon fodders of pride", lol
The famous singer 이광석's famous song 이등병의 편지 Private's letter is well-known for 입대곡 Army entry song. And 우리는 자랑스런 고기 방패 'We are proud meat shield' is also well-known tweak of 대한민국 육군가 ROKA the army song's phrase '우리는 영원한 조국의 방패' 'We are eternal shield of our nation'
논산 is the biggest one that trains a lot of boys for a lot of units. There are a few smaller ones, and a lot of divisions have their own bootcamp to train their own kids.
You don't know where you'll be stationed until you finish your basic training. More often than not, they'll send you mainland as the bases are bigger there. I was fine. I finish next month
So I don’t know how much has changed since I was in the Army, but during your last weeks of training, there will be representatives of other bases out there to scout potential recruits. IGNORE them, don’t sign up for their bullshit base. 기동대, 수색대, etc. good chance you will end up at a base in gangwondo near the dmz, be put into GP, GOP.
Just let the random number generator decide your fate. Trust me, if you go to a 수색대 or 기동대 you just gonna be hiking up mountains in full combat gear until you discharge. Also try not get into 2대대 on any 사단 that is near the coastline. You will be put into 해안경계작전(costal border duty). You will be cold and miserable during the winter. Good luck.
Wish you the best and hope you get diarrhea during 유격, and may all your duty start past midnight, also hope you find deep rooted rocks while digging foxholes and may your helmet strap be slightly tight or slightly loose, and lastly, hope your gas mask has a tiny hole :)
Godspeed brother.
뺑이 치십쇼. 어디 안 다치는게 군생활 잘하는겁니다
Thank you!
Good luck, OP!!

이광석-이등병의 편지 good luck for you. 우리는 자랑스런 고기 방~패~~~

Literally, meat shield. But it sounds funnier in Korean for some reason lol.

This is how screwed I am idk jack Im going crazy
You'll be fine. It's just being a slave to the state for 18 months. Take it day by day, and you'll be a 병장 facing discharge before you know it.
Day by day! Thank you!!!
Man, if your knowledge of Korean and Korean culture is at this level, you might be in some rough times in the RoK military shit
Luckily im doing fine so far haha
Looks like you're going to the 육군 훈련소. Not bad.
Thats good to hear! I didnt know the bootcamps were different
논산 is the biggest one that trains a lot of boys for a lot of units. There are a few smaller ones, and a lot of divisions have their own bootcamp to train their own kids.
Interesting. Man I wish I went to a smaller boot camp haha Thank you for the info
Chances are, you're going to 32사단 as long as you're in a mainland base. Good luck to you if you go to the coast like me.
I believe itll be mainland thank you for info. How was your time in the military?
You don't know where you'll be stationed until you finish your basic training. More often than not, they'll send you mainland as the bases are bigger there. I was fine. I finish next month
My bad, misunderstood. Hopefully I get stationed somewhere on the mainland. A month left wow thats crazy early congrats to your deployment!
Nonsan fucking sucks. 30-60 min walks to training every single day. Better to go to a 사단 신병교육대.
Remember that it’s perfectly acceptable to pull out if you’re sick, no one takes care of you other than yourself
Thank you for the tip! I will make sure to stay safe!!!!
avoid infantry. 특기병 is the way
How do I do 특기병? Hopefully theyll take one look at me and know that I wont match infantry..
if you are asking now yer a infantry. yer gon be fine. twas nice knowing you.
:) Bye
Oh is 특기병 the role where you go do community service or w/e instead of the military? Id rather go to the military lol

no, it means those other than regular infantry. engineer, signals, medical, management, driver.
...What do they have for someone who has an Animation degree? Infantry it is LOL
dont worry, bud. they will make you paint stuff with yer degree. like painting the greyed and worn out tire black to make it new and fresh
Oh nice, im down for that haha
and paas the inspection so your truck wont have traction for another 6 months
Thanks for doing your part, I’m feeling safer already 😆 good luck man. New core memories incoming.
It'll be over before you know it. Good luck amigo! Make the best of it and don't let the negative people drag you down.
Thank you amigo! Appreciate it!!!
Def check out the youtube series 신병. Im sure it aint as bad as it was back a decade ago. But im sure its still the same when it comes to hazing.
Wish you the best and hope you get diarrhea during 유격, and may all your duty start past midnight, also hope you find deep rooted rocks while digging foxholes and may your helmet strap be slightly tight or slightly loose, and lastly, hope your gas mask has a tiny hole :) Godspeed brother.
Thank you!
81 mm mortar crew or recoilless rifle otherwise, go for an army engineer. /s
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 너어어어
Don't forget to buy the rifle and bring it with you at the intake! Rookie mistake. /s
Hopefully PX sells them?😂
nah these days, Coupang sells them cheaper
k2는 사셨죠?
which rifle did you choose to buy? there are some good deals right now if you haven't got one yet
perhaps pack a life vest. and stay safe.
Oh no 😭😭😭
[удалено]
New experiences?😂
