Rain selected as Assistant Training Officer of the No. 5 Infantry
By: huhuhuhu @The Cloud English Talk Board, 11/8/2011
We read news today about Rain being selected as the Assistant Training Officer of the No. 5 Infantry. This has generated much talk amongst the Korean public – with a lot of positive comments.
Here is something written by a Korean man who served in the army before, giving explanation and insight about being an ATO.
Korean to Chinese:偶爱2B薰
Chinese to English: huhuhuhu
(He explained what an ATO is.)
“An ATO is selected from only a handful of new recruits, usually not exceeding 5. So literally only the best of the best could be appointed. Although the officials will also consider personal wish, even if you wish to be an ATO, you will not be selected if you do not have the ability. From all aspects the ATO of new recruits is one of most difficult appointments.
Physically it may be slightly more relaxing than being in a search team, however the mental stress is much more serious. An ATO not only requires good self performance, he also has to constantly guide and supervise the other recruits in his team, so it is very tiring. He can’t sleep well, he even has to supervise every move of the new recruits during weekends. He will be reprimanded if any problems occurred to the recruits. So it does not mean you are OK if you yourself only perform well.
However, compared to other positions, being an ATO is a very distinguished appointment. Wherever you may go, if you tell others you background has been an ATO, people will even say hello to you in a different way. Women may not know about this, but all men know. The most admirable appointments for a new recruit will be in the search team and being an ATO. As a man, I really feel proud for Jung Jihoon.
I really have to give my endless encouragement to Jung Jihoon, who always chooses to walk on a difficult road, to accept new challenges. I wish he could be discharged soon, and I look forward to his smart face on stage, as well as an even more active performance in Hollywood.”
Well done, Rain! You have won the respect of many, many Korean men with your own actions, and not words.
We feel soooo proud of you. We feel sooooo proud being your clouds!!
