Does anyone know what's going on with Boxer and the military? I'm hearing all sorts of rumors. One is that he'll stop playing at the end of this year to go into the service, another is that he is going to college to delay it two more years, and some fool even said he was shot and killed in the military (lol).
You learn from losing.

All korean males have to serve unless you are disabled, and even then you sometimes have to do other types of military service like intelligence or something similar. But there are cases where you don't have to serve.

3 Years of service is mandatory but..

According to some of my Korean friends, if your grandfather died during the Korean war then all sons and grandsons etc of that man does not have to serve.

its 2 years mandatory. (it changed)
about 10 yrs ago, if u had a flat foot, bad eye sight or tattoo etc...you could not go to the military. tattoo because in korea, usually only the thugs had tattoos...some people got tattoos just so they didnt have to go to the military. now, the tattoo thing doesnt work.

Nonono...
Since Boxer is not gonna be an officer, he starts from Private, which is Marine. He'll upgrade to Firebat, Ghost, and then Vulture when he make Sergeant. After six month of Sergeant, he can quit the army. So he doesn't have any chance to become a dropship pilot - warrant officer.

Hm as I've understood it there is also some civilian service kind of thing (ie office work)? I'm not sure if it's available to everyone, mayhaps only to people with a certain education level?

Btw, there is a village close to the north / south border (don't remember if it's IN the DMZ or just outside), no one from that village has to go to the military, and nor do anyone they should marry.

They really should make him a drop ship officer. He has amazing tactical ability combined with great dexterity.

you can still probably get out of service depending on the nature of your tattoo. I knew a kid who joined the marines, after a couple of months a DI noticed he had a self-inflicted razor cut scar of a swastika on the outside of his forearm, so they discharged him. He even tried to lie and stay in, by cutting it up and making it look like a box and shit, they still kicked him out..

That's a dishonorable discharge. What a shame.

this was during training, therefore no dishonorable discharge.

I've heard, the South Korean soccer players got off the military service??? Wouldn't Star Craft be a reason too ? Damn I thought it was big in Korea
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

bein big in something like starcraft is likely to make his service especially hard. Instructors love nothing more than bringing someone down to zero status. Theyll ride his ass nonstop, even if he doesnt do anything to deserve it. My old psychotic korean roomate told me all sorts of stories of abuse during his service.

That kid who cut a swastika in his arm during boot camp was a fucking retard. He was probably trying to get sent home and then panicked when he realized how much shit he was in. And yes, you don't get a "dishonorable" discharge unless you commit a felony and get a general court martial (the big one). He either got failure to adapt which is basically like you were never in, or a general discharge under other than honorable conditions (same discharge you get for doing drugs, getting in trouble repeatedly, etc).

Starcraft is really big for younger people, but not for the people like 50s, 60s etc. And Korean politicians tend not to listen to the younger people because most of the time they're really anti-government.

Moreover, many people still think it as a simple game and not as a sport, which is different from China where the Chinese government actually pay the progamers, accepting E-Sports as their 99th sports.

Anyway, Boxer will serve at the military after like 3 years.
