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

GamdongRan : convenience stores food - GS25

Image
 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.

Namsan Tower : Sightseeing places in Seoul

Image
 Namsan Tower is one of the famous landmarks of Seoul with the Han River. The height of the tower itself is 236.7m, which is low compared to other landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Tokyo Tower.    It was completed on July 30, 1975. At first, there was no observation deck, but after that, a sightseeing observation deck was constructed and the present tower was completed. In the early days, it was not open to the public because of security problems, but on October 15, 1980, the observatory was opened. And it was reopened in 2005. From this time, the name will be changed to N Seoul Tower. I do not feel old because all the facilities have been modernized and the interiors have been careful while undergoing remodeling.    The tower is made up of seven floors and is quite large, and the top of the T7 floor is an observation tower with a slowly rotating floor. Namsan, where Namsan Tower is located, also has the remains of the Choson Dynasty. This is also a
