I’m 21 and going to korea at the end of this month to sign up to the korean military.
I was born in Brazil but i lived in the states for a while so my english is fine. On the other hand, my korean is not that good and I’m worried that might affect my time in the army. Im studying law right now in college but im not sure that’ll help with anything in the military (regarding rank or jobs)
I’m wondering if anyone has any tips regarding the military, planing on doing 육군 (18 months) and i cant go to katusa cause the sign up period was in july (or can i sign up anyways when i get there?)
From what i researched, there are many types off jobs you can be put into when ur sent to ur unit. But since my korean is not perfect, I’m open to recommendations (I heard that your superior is the one that chooses what you do but im not sure). I also learned that your sent off to a random unit after your basic training (is being stationed in the south that much better than going up north?)
Anything relating to vacation days, schedule, cell phone usage, free time, gym or sports inside the base, basic training or overall advice/hacks would be greatly appreciated.
