“When I was there it was fairly calm for the most part. One of the SK guards fell asleep at the ammo dump and was caught by his Lt. Didn’t even wake him up, just shot him right there.”
I don’t think many folks understand the standards of discipline in the SK military. I spent 73-74 with 2ID and did four TS. There is a reason why SK families pay big bribes to get their drafted sons serving with US units.
During TS88, a SK private lost his rifle and killed himself with bug poison. A SK LTC remarked that he took the easy way out.
Yeah I saw some harsh treatment as well. One of the ROK jets had problems and made an emergency landing. The pilot got out and proceed to beat the cr__ out of the crew chief.
I also remember my first city wide drill downtown. Where everyone has to clear the streets and go into the nearest building. I found myself in a lingerie store with several cute ladies. ahh the good ole days
