[QUOTE="paikiah, post: 252102, member: 545724"] Venom, I got your pm... sorry I didn't reply any earlier... I might not be the best to advise you on the US army. If you didn't already know, I'm a Korean and am enlisted in the ROK army. I go through slightly different training programs than some... All I can do is to relay to you what life is like in the Korean army. It's very different from the US army. Many US troops have come to Korean bases and admit that they wouldn't last three days. Not because it's tough, but due to the lack of facilities as well living quarters are beyond most American's imagination. You guys got it good, you have air conditioning and heating. Koreans dip in rivers when hot, get juniors to pump 100 to warm up the room during winter. 2 guys to a room, two beds. We have 50 people in one room, we sleep on wooden panels. You guys got fresh new M-16's, we've got Korean knock-off's. THe biggest one? You guys got flushing toilets, we don't.
