Pva_Glue Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 G'day all I would like to say thank you all for past 4 years. Some you know me well and some you dont...(your loss) hehhe anyway I have joined Korean Army and I will be away for next two years as Medic in South Korean Army. It was hard choice to leave my family and friends, I've lived in Perth for last 13 years, I have been longer in Australia than South Korea. I only have good no Great experience of Australian culture and people. I am citizen of Republic of Korea and I believe its my duty to serve my own country and protect our people. Its very tense in Korean penisula with north korean nuclear testing and break down of peace talk. However I beleive there will be peaceful solutoin to this... if not I guess I might have to actually use force, in my case fix people as medical officer. As of next monday and next two years I will be working in Red Cross division of South Korean Army. I will pop in say hello time to time I wish you all for best of luck in your life. especially I would like to thanks to Dan, Lizz and Boostzor and others sorry I forgot most of your name. Thank you and good bye. Cheers Joey I'll Be Back...

Patto- Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Well good on you for doing what you think is the right thing to do. I'm sure there will be a peaceful resolution also. Can't see how violence could help either side and I'm sure even Kim Jong-Ill knows this.

Nastazia Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Even though I never got to meet you, best of luck with everything. It takes a lot of courage to take such a big step and the world would be a better place if there were more people as selfless and as caring as you in it. Good job mate you should be proud of yourself.

Boostzor Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Just keep your head down and only volunteer for stuff like getting drinks and reporting to headquarters and such and you will be fine. I hope Basic is not too rough though. Try to stay off gravel as we know you have trouble with your footing in that harsh environment Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/140583-pva_glue-going-to-war-at-the-korean-peninsula/#findComment-2620255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
