The Reserve army(Reserve forces) in Korea





 Today, I went to reserve army training. The reserve army is an army that exists as a reserve. It does not live as a soldier for 24 hours like active duty. It is a living being as a member of society and a soldier when it is needed. Of course, if you live as a member of society, you can forget the military experience and sense that you have naturally accumulated, so you have to get some level of military training for a fixed period of time to maintain your ability.
 However, the regular reserves are to be trained in military units for two nights and three days. But, because I am a student, I am classified as a "student reserve group" and only need to be trained for eight hours. In other words, I can get in and out in a day. Once a year, it ends when basic training is given at the training site designated by the school. So I was able to finish it very simply :)
 The reserve army is also an army, so it is forbidden to take pictures of military security. So unfortunately, there is not a picture in today's posting! As it is still an army, combat uniforms are, of course, essential. If you want to see a picture of the reserve army of Korea, you can look for pictures of the general ROK Army. This is because there is no big difference in wearing the same clothes.
 From 2015 on, it was changed to give training to creative squadrons by squad unit and to give early discharge if performance is good. It is a way to arrange various exercises in five parts such as shooting, checkpoint, and battlefield battle, and each team is trained to go around. It's like a free pass for an amusement park. The squad, who has completed all five, leaves immediately. Actually, participation is as high as all the squad members want to go out quickly. The squad I was in was fortunate enough to get through all the process quickly. However, I was rejected in the shooting, and I had to stay again and finish my work. :( But I was able to get back to work quickly after completing the course again.
 And, when I go to reserve army, I give money! But it is not big money, so it is better not to expect. Training Provides a lunch price for meals and a transportation fare to get to the training area. I got 6000 won(about 6 dollar) for lunch and 7000 won(about 7 dollar) for transportation. Maybe I will buy a snack with the money ....;)
 I am going to need 7 more years of reserve training. But in the last two years, I do not train, so I actually need five more years. I must repeat this process five more times in the future! Even during the three-year period, maybe I am not a student so I need to be trained for two nights and three days ... TT

 The food to eat today is Gamdong-Ran. Do you know what Gamdong-Ran is? Interestingly, it is an egg that tasted is so 'touched'. It is a type of egg that is sold in convenience store of Korea GS25, and the boiled egg itself is characterized by the salt liver. So it is easy to eat without salt. Also, it is more delicious to cook the egg so that the yolk does not become fully cooked when boiled. Today I am going to try the Gamdong-Ran.  As you can see in the picture, two eggs are packed in one pack. When you eat one, the other one eats soon. It's size is not large. One egg contains 50 grams, and one pack contains 100 grams. Let's look at the nutrients. It is one standard for reference. The calories are 62.5 kcal, containing 0.55 g of carbohydrate, 0.1 g of sugar, 6.35 g of protein, 3.85 g of fat, 1.4 g of saturated fat, 0 g of trans fat, 132.4 mg of cholesterol and 191.5 mg of sodium.  The price is 1,900 won. It is about $ 1.7. You can think that it is

Green Car : How to use Car sharing in Korea

Image
 Do you know car sharing services? Maybe you should have heard it once. In general, car sharing means starting from the recognition that it is wasteful for purchasing a car. So a local or group to own a car to use a simple purpose vehicle, and then sharing it on a time scale basis.  However, in Korea, it started as a new car rental business by companies, and it is developed mainly in metropolitan and central cities. It is characterized by the fact that there is almost no car sharing zone in rural areas. So it was not easy to see car sharing cars in the area where I grew up. However, because I came to Seoul, I have a lot of chance to meet car sharing zones, and usually I can rent a car and use it.  Let's take a quick look at how to use it! In Korea, 'Socar' and 'Green Car' are typical services, but today I will explain 'Green Car' as an example.  First, sign up for membership in the Green car homepage or application. At this time, you must

KTX : How to book a KTX ticket online

Image
 There are trains that are useful when traveling around Korea. It is 'Korea Train eXpress : KTX'. KTX is the name of high speed railway operated by KORAIL from April 1, 2004 and it is the highest class train operated by KORAIL. It has already been 10 years.  Perhaps it is fortunate that the high-speed railway is running in Korea, which is not very wide. Thanks to the high-speed rail, I can go to KTX in 2 hours and 30 minutes by bus, which takes 5 hours. The price is a bit expensive, but there is such convenience. (▲The thick line is the KTX route)  In fact, the speed of KTX is very fast. The maximum speed is 305 km / h, but most of the cases are traveling at 270 ~ 295 km / h on the high speed line. When the overall KTX operation is good, it runs at 300 ~ 305km / h. When driving more than 250km / h, the temporary speed of the moment is displayed at the upper left corner of the room monitor. It is fun and interesting if you watch. If you come to Korea,
