    confused :unsure:. Lucas did not make '14 or '18 Brasil WC Squads.

    he got a simple taste the final quarter of last season. but if he's in form and ready to go from the start, he'll literally be like a new signing going into this season. one less thing to bemoan for Spurs fans.

    Foolish.

    Have BTS serve in the army, and make combat roles open to females (if not already). Then create something like the Korean equivalent of French Foreign Legion and allow Koreaboos to enlist.

    Besides, simple math tells me (exempting BTS = -7 riflemen).

    Unfortunately the army sees SHM as a super soldier and sees BTS as useless twats who can only cheerlead the armed force to victory. They're useless. Okay maybe riflemen.

    For the millionth time, SHM is ineligible to serve in the military for his service...

    I had the weirdest dream. World war 3 broke out and SHM was fighting on the front line. Thats what happens when you watch dongmakgol whilst browsing bsk before you sleep.

    Is anyone considering going to see the Spurs at the LA training ground? I've been thinking about stopping by early tomorrow morning before the game but I'm not sure if they'll even be there still.

    Did I miss something? Doesn't SHM need to serve in the military? Why is he ineligible to serve?

    Again, Son is ineligible to serve due to lack of academics meaning he is a middle school dropout. In ROK military, you cannot serve if you didn't pass middle school, and even if you have a 검정고시 which is basically a GED, you still won't get accepted to serve if you've never passed middle school. Son will have to serve as a 공익 and he will end up playing for a K3 team.

    Okay. Understand. Been using military duty very loosely. He still has to 'serve' something and take a break in his professional career? I.e. go back to Korea? How long does he have to serve as a 공익?

    공익 afaik is 21 months, Army and Marines is 18 months, Navy is 21, and Air Force is 22. Back in the days, Army, Marines, Navy were 3 years whilst Air Force was 4.

    Correct, his career in Europe is in shambles if he doesn't get exempted.

    What do you mean by that? 공익 is public service.

    Is 공군 another word for 공익?

    Still confused by question. 공군 is air force. 공익 is public service. SHM has to start his term as a social service worker // public service worker (사회복무요원//공익근무요원) no later than his 27th birthday. It's a desk job.
