ACE really doesn't have THAT much to lose by letting him join, do they? ^-^

I hope he gets on...

Alright Nal_rA, time to start a Korean Army or Navy team. Then not only could he play, but we'd also get an awesome military league to watch. And maybe the Airforce can borrow him sometimes for proleague, lol.

His eyesight is really bad, so I doubt it. This really sucks.



Didn't (T)DarkElf get in ACE with no problem?

The Air Force isn't just a group of pilots, but it is mixed with other positions like officer, and like mentioned, a desk job. They'll go through basic training no doubt, but no where as much as say being in infantry division. Just because you enlist in the military, it doesn't mean you'll be a grunt since they'll put you where it is needed and fits your ability.

Nal_ra for ace? hopefully?

I know that his eyesight is bad, but i'm not convinced that's the major factor in getting into airforce ace....


afaik you have to have really good vision to enter the air force at all


what about DarkElf? he used glasses too


I dunno, but here's the vision requirements for the USA air force

Pilot
Normal color vision
Distant vision: Uncorrected 20/70, but corrected to 20/20
Near vision: Uncorrected 20/30, but corrected to 20/20
Meet refraction, accommodation and astigmatism requirements
Corrective eye surgery could be a disqualifier

Combat Systems Officer
Normal color vision
Distant vision: Uncorrected 20/200, but corrected to 20/20
Near vision: Uncorrected 20/40, but corrected to 20/20
Meet refraction, accommodation and astigmatism requirements
Corrective eye surgery could be a disqualifier


That's pretty tight, but doesn't disqualify everyone. I wear savagely strong glasses (20/500 uncorrected), but 20/200 is pretty poor, even. It means that something someone with 20/20 can read at a hundred feet you can read at only ten. It corresponds to a dioptre of about -2.00. Still, the Air Force in any country has more people than just pilots and CSOs - from logistics to mechanics, scrubs, whatever. Think of the entire operation and there's a lot more than just guys who fly and guys who read radars. I can't imagine Nal_rA not joining ACE. Someone has to make Yellow's life miserable, lol.

As an aside - think about it, if bad eyesight is no good for pilots, wtf are you going to give a blind man a gun for? By that logic he wouldn't be able to serve in any branch of the military, really.

I wish him good luck in the army and I cant stop wondering how I will spend my first cup of coffe every saturday morning from now on!

Also, its hilarious how people compare Air Force Porgamer and Pilot demands! Do you also belive you cant become a progamer in ACE unlees you can withstand substantial g-forces?

I always thought Nal_rA was exempt from service, what a shame to lose a rising commentator.
To think if he doesn't join ACE, the upcoming OSL preliminaries will be our last chance to see the him in action, Nal_rA's final breath of life as a progamer. And should he succeed in passing it is still a bittersweet victory in that he won't be able to play in the group stages.

...I believe in you, Kang-min! Dreamer toss 회이팅!!

It sucks he has to go in now that he decided to try to make it into the OSL. But hey, military conscription isn't even that bad, in my case it was one of the best experiences in my life.
