Chapter 232
Chapter 232
For lunch, I bought frozen jjambbong and dumplings from PX and reheated them in the microwave.
Taegyu said.
“It is delicious to eat in a short time. Is not it?”
I took a bite and nodded.
“This is acknowledged.”
“How many should I buy when I go home?”
“If you eat outside, it won’t taste like this.”
But if you eat it in the military, it doesn’t envy three Michelin stars.
After I finished eating, I also bought ice cream for dessert. I said looking at the assistants running around busily.
“They are suffering too.”
In fact, training the reserve forces is usually not difficult.
You have to listen… … .
“Excuse me, I’m going to prepay about 100 million won for PX.”
Is there anything I can do to feed my kids only frozen food instead of rice?
“You do it.”
It’s not well known, but he also has tens of billions of dollars in cash and tens of trillions of assets.
Some reservists talked to me pretending to be friendly. As it is a reserve military training ground, there are all kinds of people.
Why are you asking which stocks to invest in and whether to buy a house now?
* * *
In the afternoon, there will be individual combat training.
As we were moving to the training ground, it rained a little.
This kind of weather is the most annoying. Rather, if it rains heavily, the outdoor training is canceled and changed to indoor training. However, if it rains vaguely like now, there is a situation where you have to be trained in the rain.
While sitting at the training ground and listening to the teaching assistant’s explanation, the raindrops started to thicken little by little.
Reservists cheered.
“it’s raining!”
“Aren’t we supposed to go inside now?”
“The ground was so muddy that it was difficult to sit down.”
“Go indoors!”
Of course, you have to go indoors.
The teaching assistants also judged that the training was difficult and reported the situation by radio. But suddenly, the executives ran as if there was an emergency.
Taek-gyu looked at him and muttered.
“what? Did the North Korean army even invade?”
At that moment, the teaching assistant who received the radio shouted.
“It’s a big deal!”
“What?”
“The Chief of the Army Chief of Staff is coming!”
The reservists responded with absurdity.
“What? Army Chief of Staff?”
“Does it make sense for the Army Chief of Staff to come to the reserve army training ground?”
“I’ve never seen anything more than a division commander during my active duty.”
“If you are the Chief of Staff of the Army, what is your rank?”
“A four-star general. Posta.”
“Why the hell did the poster come here?
Everyone’s eyes were focused on me.
Maybe it’s because of me?
If so, it’s probably because of my relationship with the US rather than my wealth. The South Korean military has a close relationship with the US military. And as we all know, I am very close with the US commander-in-chief, President Ronald Stamper.
Even so, do you really need to come to the training ground?
Of course, the Army Chief of Staff does not move alone. The attendants will follow one after another. Maybe the brigadier is acting as the youngest?
Those who have served in the military will know, but there is nothing more tiring than a visit from a high-ranking person. Even if only one star floats, the unit turns over a week ago.
In addition to sewing the entire quarter with toothpaste, firearms and gear are polished to a shiny shine, and even a leaf or dust is eradicated on the roadside, making the entire unit similar to a clean room. (Soldiers die for a few days while doing this. But when I did it all, they said that the schedule had changed and they didn’t come.)
If you are a reservist, you must have an immovable attitude that does not go unnoticed even if the North Korean army appears in front of you. Therefore, there was no disturbance even though I heard that the Army Chief of Staff was coming.
I’m a civilian after all, so what does it matter how many stars appear?
Thinking so, the platoon commander stood in front of the reserve forces.
“From now on, I will train according to FM! All trainees lie on the floor and crawl through obstacles!”
Everyone was surprised by that.
“Look, platoon commander. What does that mean?”
“You want us to crawl?”
“It’s raining now!”
“Mister! Can’t you see the ground is wet?”
Usually, if the reserve forces resist, they will give way to a certain extent.
But the platoon commander did not blink an eye.
“Reservists who do not follow orders will be forcibly discharged! Crawl Forward Conducted!”
“… … .”
The unfamiliar platoon commander smells like an advisor. It seems that they don’t know each other well, but stimulating the reserve forces is not good for each other.
A reservist shouted, throwing his rifle to the floor.
“I don’t! Whether the Chief of Staff of the Army comes or not, what does that have to do with me?”
Then the platoon commander looked at him and said,
“If you don’t pick up your rifle and start training right now, I will be deported!”
What do soldiers fear the most? military training? Hwasaengbang? gap? cold season?
No matter how hard the training is, you can endure it. However, the increase in military life is unbearable. So, in the military, chanting is the worst punishment. The number of days of service increases as the length of the brigade is.
So, what are the reservists most afraid of? That’s forced eviction. Because I have to come back next time to train with the short amount of time. Can’t we do this one more day?
After a brief struggle, he finally picked up his gun.
“Ah-oh! Really!”
Under the direction of the platoon commander, we crawled all over the muddy ground in the cold rain.
Reservists nailed it.
“Damn it!”
“I’m going crazy!”
“Is this reserve army training or guerrilla training?”
“I didn’t even do this when I was on active duty!”
Taek-gyu said while crawling beside him.
“What is this for you?”
I timidly protested.
“Why is this for me?”
“Then did you come to see those reservists?”
“… … .”
Is it because of me too?
Due to the nature of the military life as a group, even if one person makes a mistake, everyone suffers. So having one advisor in the unit is a headache.
According to the law of preservation of advisers, there is one adviser for each unit. (If you did not have one during your military service, it is highly likely that you were an adviser).
When I was a private, one of my successors lost a blank bullet while volunteering for the guard post on a holiday.
You might think that it is not a live bullet and a blank bullet is not such a big deal, but the military goes into a rage even when only one cartridge case is missing.
The break was immediately stopped and the entire unit was mobilized to search for blanks.
This is a mistake that anyone can make at least once.
What’s absurd is that blanks were found in his successor’s pocket. Only then did his successor confess that he had dropped his magazine and the blank came out and that he had put it in his pocket and forgot. And he realized that right away, but he said he couldn’t speak because he was afraid he would be scolded.
We did not know that, and without taking a rest on holidays, we searched the battalion like this.
The gaze that looked at the successor back then seems to be pouring on me now… … Is it your mood?
I am only sorry that I became an advisor without knowing it.
I was crawling on the floor in the rain hard, and under the guidance of the battalion commander, the Army Chief of Staff and generals appeared one after another.
Someone was training in the rain, and everyone was wearing an umbrella. Behind him was an officer with a camera. Did you come to the National Defense Daily?
The platoon commander saluted vigorously.
“Loyalty!”
General Choi Hyung-woon, Chief of Staff of the Army, looked around the training ground and asked.
“What training are you doing now?”
“I’m training for individual battles!”
“Do you usually train like this?”
A look of pride was evident on the captain’s face.
“That’s right!”
At that moment, Taek-gyu suddenly coughed and shouted.
“Cool clump! It’s so cold and painful I can’t do it!”
Then the other reservists also lied down as if they were waiting, screaming in pain.
“Ahh! Elbows!”
“My shoulder fell off again!”
“I think my leg is broken!”
“Wow! The cancer must have recurred.”
“Save people!”
When all the reserve forces sabotaged (?) at the same time, the faces of the battalion commander and the platoon commander hardened.
Captain Choi Hyung-woon said to the platoon commander.
“The weather today is so bad, what if we train the reserve forces so hard? If you catch a cold and your fighting ability deteriorates, this would be a huge national loss.”
“Sin, sorry!”
The battalion commander immediately exclaimed.
“What are you doing? Stop training.”
“Oh, I see. Stop training!”
The reservists, who were screaming in pain, got up immediately and wiped the mud off their clothes.
The lieutenant-general and the lieutenant-general behind them said with a kick.
“You have to watch the training as well.”
“Anyway, officers these days don’t know moderation, moderation.”
The battalion commander was contemplating, but the platoon commander still had an expression that he did not know what he had done wrong.
The advisor wins. In the future, the battalion commander and the soldiers will explode.
Captain Choi Hyung-woon approached me.
“Five! CEO Kang Jin-hoo was also in training.”
Then Taek-gyu deliberately muttered to be heard.
“What are you talking about as if you didn’t know? I know for sure that you came because of Kang Jin-hoo.”
At those words, General Choi Hyung-woon coughed in vain as if he was not at ease.
“Great.”
The battalion commander behind him did not know what to do. He would send brigade immediately if he was on active duty, but he’s a civilian so there’s nothing he can do.
Chief Choi Hyung-woon asked me.
“Isn’t there anything difficult about the reserve army training?”
“… … .”
When did this uncle say he saw me?
When I said nothing, he laughed.
“Heh heh, don’t feel burdened because of what’s difficult, let’s talk comfortably.”
“… … .”
Anyone can see it’s hard because of you! why don’t you know that Are you an advisor too?
I glanced around the reserve in the shape of a rat in the rain, then said.
“As you can see, everyone did their best in training. The days are cold and it rains continuously, but it would be great if it ends early.”
“Right.”
Captain Choi Hyung-woon nodded his head and looked at the battalion commander and asked.
“It seems that the reservists trained very hard today, is it possible to leave early?
Then the battalion commander answered with a loud voice, like a private soldier with a tight flag.
“of course! I will expel all of the reserve forces immediately!”
With those words, the resentment towards me just before melted away.
The reserve forces all raised their hands in unison and let out a shout of joy.
“Wow!”

[Army Chief of Staff Choi Hyung-woon, blitz visit to the reserve army training ground](Strategy) General Choi Hyeong-woon visited the reserve army training ground and looked around the auxiliary facilities and training conditions, and encouraged assistants and reserve forces.
General Choi Hyung-woon emphasized the importance of reserve force training, saying, “The reserve forces are the core force that will defend the Republic of Korea from enemy aggression in case of emergency.” He also expressed his feelings that he is proud of the reservists who diligently train while working for a living.
Comments were lined up at the bottom of his article.
-This is the bear god whom my boyfriend sent to the army 3 months ago. I’m not sure about that, but is the Chief of Staff of the Army a lot higher?
– Since the chief of staff of the army is called a general, he is probably in the same rank as a platoon commander or company commander. I’m a bear god too, but my boyfriend is an officer and now a platoon leader ^^
– Wait, what is this? A platoon commander is equivalent to the Army Chief of Staff?(Read more @ wuxiax.com)
– What’s the difference from saying that a new employee at Seoseong Electronics is on the same level as Im Jin-yong?
– That’s it. If it was a platoon leader, it would be mandarin.
– Mandarin fish these days have no concept. The advisors abound. I’m glad I was discharged last month.
– Rather, why did the Chief of Staff of the Army go to the reserve army training ground?
– Haha, I must have gone to see you after Gangjin.
– What are the teaching assistants doing because of Kang Jin-hoo?
– What was the Lee Byung in the picture thinking as he shook hands?
-Look at the battalion commander’s face in the back.
-The reservists are laughing really hard haha
– Whether it’s the Chief of Staff or the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, from the point of view of the reserve army, the uncle does not know.
-Captain Choi Hyung-woon’s heart = Heo heh, if these bastards were on active duty, they would all spend 14 nights and 15 days. As a civilian, I can’t do anything about it.
-Reserve soldiers’ heart = Heo Heo Heo, it’s a 4-star general, we don’t know what it is, send it home as soon as possible.
– Who else wants to visit on the last day?
– Isn’t President Huh Chang-min going to the retirement ceremony?
– The president is on a tour of Europe right now.
– I have a feeling that the USFK commander will go.
Taegyu said.
“Someone is saying that the commander of the USFK is also coming.”
I laughed out loud because it was ridiculous.
“It doesn’t sound like a word.”
Why does the USFK commander come to the reserve force training ground?
* * *
“Commander Charlie Schüitz, commander of USFK, has arrived at the guard post!”
… … But it actually happened.
This time, even the reserve forces were buzzing.
“Yesterday, the Army Chief of Staff came, today the USFK commander?”
“After all, he’s a U.S. Army commander, isn’t he the same rank as the Army Chief of Staff?”
“Hey, where do you compare to the Korean military pooping stars?”
“The authority is incomparable.”
A Milduk (?) explained it to the other reservists.
“The commander of the USFK is the commander of the ROK-US Combined Forces Command, and also serves as the commander of the UN forces during wartime.”
“Oh yeah?”
“The UN military commander has wartime operational control. If there is a war, the commander of the USFK will command the entire army on the Korean Peninsula.”
The reservists were astonished.
“what? Then it is the absolute highest dignity of the military.”
“Even in the U.S. military, it will be in the top ten.”
“Why would such a person go to the reserve army training ground… … ?”
Everyone’s eyes turned to me.
After a while, Commander Suits really showed up. Behind them were US generals as well as Korean generals.
How many stars do you have?
And the battalion commander looked almost as if he had lost his mind.
Is this all because of me?
