Thanks Bulldogg but like other people like myself there's only one thing for us to do here: leave.
Everyone who can leave is now packing up and leaving. Most of the old guard who want to stay are those who have been here too long to give up and need the wage and have no chance outside (NCO... No Chance Outside haha). Since our country doesn't need people like us anymore, we'll have to find either another line of work or another place that does.
Whenever there's some magazine article or something about the future of our armed forces, we see the Marine Corps is absent from it. There's rumor going around that we'll just be incorporated into the Navy (Navy uniforms and all).

Ah, don't worry. I didn't generalize all expats like that. Just the idiots.

Fair enough mate, I do the same.

I flew the C-130 in Viet Nam and one day we were assigned a ROK loadmaster. Our loadmaster basically sat back that day and let our Korean take charge of the cargo compartment and loading the Herk.

We were loading dead and wounded South Vietnamese troops out of Hue/Phu Bai and our ROK was fully incharge of the situation. You always get some character that approaches every member of the aircrew with a sob story of how he needs to get back to Saigon and begs for help.

This character got in line with the wounded and attempted to sneak on the airplane. Our ROK checked his paperwork and then directed the little slime ball out of the loading que. While we were finishing the load this little slime attempted to crawl up thru a paratroop door when he found a swift boot planted with just a bit of effort in his chest.

If I ever run into this ROK again, the OB is on me.
