So even after you are done with your military service, you are still not with the service?

That makes sense, I guess.

Personally, the sound of gunfire scares me a lot. I heard it once when I was providing security from the police. I grabbed my head and ran. After all, it's not a bead or a water gun. I have played in Call of Duty, but I don't think I would like to use guns in real life, gunfire is very disturbing.

I totally understand that, I'm really sorry that happened. I hate it too. There was a war here when I was a baby.

I mean, the whole point of the compulsory military service for all Korean males in the first place is to have a strong, well-trained militia reserve in case North Korea invades. The government needs to be able to call upon as many semi-professional soldiers as it can, to replace losses in its' professional armed forces, in case North Korea nukes the military barracks and kills the majority of the Korean armed forces. You can't do that if all the people you trained in military service go back to civilian life and never go back for reservist training. They would have forgotten all the skills they learned in the two years of training. So yes, they have to go back for refresher courses and maintaining fitness during reservist training. Up to eight years after their discharge, when they still would be considered in the right age group to be fighting fit. (Old farts above 40 years old are probably considered no longer fit enough for active frontline duty).

I think this only applies to those who didn't ended up in a social work? I mean imagine Shownu, who works in a kindergarten right now going like "oh and I had to train shooting a gun"
