Texan, It brings me back to a few port calls on USS Midway. There's nothing like a couple of bottles of Oscar wine while "window shopping" on Green Street in Pusan. If you've been there, you'll understand.
Osan was my favorite er---tourism spot. I spent many a won there, being 19 and all. I do remember Oscar, which was far better than that OB crap beer. I can still hear the Bee Gees and Van Halen ringing in my ears from all those nights in the "discos." And Pusan---I played on a soccer team with Korean F-86 pilots and we traveled to Pusan a few times for games, as we did in many towns around the country. Green Street indeed.
MMMM,, Oscar, had liquid O in it I believe.. Green Bottle, Pink Label With Gold Oscar Statue in the middle. Tasted like Kool Aid but boy oh boy.. Just right after night out with "yobo-seo" lol..
So hooray for mandatory conscription then? Hell to that. Post four and still no talk of sports.
Adept, does that make you part of the problem or part of the solution (to channel the MC5)?
We're all the problem.
I would rather serve in the South Korean Army than play for their soccer team.
Maybe they should've dislocated their knees, they'd get out of the draft and off the soccer team.
Thats how G-dub got out of the war too. Alas, his soccer career never took off like he thought it would.
Another ploy they use to dodge military service is to get large tattoos. It's a misdemeanor to get them, but it keeps them out of the army. You wouldn't think it would be that big a deal in this day and age, but even in the U.S. you can't be admitted to OCS with any visible tattoos.
