Yes, but at 24 years of age, as a four year senior at VT, which, if he was at the University for four years, would place him at 20 years of age when he got in there to study. It is less likely he had any ROK Army, etc. training, though, with this timeline.

Yeah...pretty much. ...a couple of years.

Yes, all South Korean males serve in the military, but they don’t have guns. They call them stick soldiers because they practice marching with sticks.

But this kid wouldn’t have had to serve as long as he was in school. Most Koreans serve right out of high school.

This kid was nuts, though, on medication, with a history of aberrant behavior that should have caused him to be expelled from school.
