Boxer has just completed the six weeks of Basic Training. He is now Private First Class (a rank above Private)
All soldiers are assigned to their respective posts after basic training. PFC Lim will be assigned to the Air Force intelligence center, where he will be allowed to train as part of the military's progaming team.
He is expected to appear in the MBCgame Survivor League first round, the first step in qualifying for the next MSL.
You can see pictures of his end-of-basic-training here:

Wow, poor keke O_O
but this is awesome, go airforce team!

Nice news. PFC Lim to the rescue!
Does anyone have a picture of Reverse Temple? I've failed to find it (the other maps are on the New MSL Maps thread). Is it unreleased or am I bad/lazy at searching?

This is pathetic. (unless all other pros have the same course of action). Everyone else has to do military duty, and so should boxer.

I understand that most pros do have this option.
HOT forever, Clon, and Chrh are already in the military team. Mumyung will be assigned there as well.
My one concern is a logjam forming for all the younger pros hitting military age at once.
Plus, it's not like all Boxer does there is game. He spends most of the day doing Air Force stuff and helping out. It's during the evenings where he gets time to practice. I'm confident that Boxer (and other gamers) are not to be useless in the military.

this won't be easy for Boxer; the other progamers having much more leisure time to practice.

I hope thats the case.
I just have a feeling that the air force intelligence centre is not going to have much work to do.
|
It isn't uncommon for military divisions to have sports teams (ping-pong and such, and football, anything).
Anyway, the job that progamers are supposed to be doing at the air force intelligence center is helping to design combat simulators or something (erg, there was a topic a week back; edit: thus making use of their skills/talents supposedly...probably in better fashion than being a grunt anyway). That's not really frivolous, but I think there would be some more qualified for that job--but then again, those people wouldn't be in the military now, I guess. Anyway, in general, wouldn't the air force intelligence center have real work like tracking North Korean activities or something? ~_~
