He told me this story because of the Titanic thing the other day. There are a lot of really boring times when doing military service so they like to act out scenes from movies to pass the time. Of course it made sense to do Titanic scenes because they were on a ship! The poor guys who were new were bossed around by those in a higher position and made to do things like this!
Korean guys always say this is the worst dream to have! Korean guys tend to talk about their military service a lot, they reminisce about it, spend hours laughing and talking about, but if they had to go back they’d have to be dragged kicking and screaming.
My husband said in the dream they contacted him and said something was wrong and that he’d have to do his service again. He protested and said, “No no, I’ve already done it”. But they said he would have to do it again. This has actually happened to guys in real life!
I have to make it clear that this comic is NOT about my husband. It is about a friend of ours who very kindly allowed me to use the story of what happened to him while in the army. All South Korean men have to do about 2 years compulsory military duty, which they usually do in their early 20’s. Therefore Korean men have a lot of stories about being in the army. Some are sad but others, like this one, are funny.
Uh oh…. standard Army underwear has the soldier’s name on it. Technically the underwear belongs to the South Korean Army… and he used it to wipe his butt.
He was punished of course, he had to carry 40 kilos of weights and run about 5 kilometers. He laughs when he tells the story though.
Here is the same comic but in Korean this time:
