※ This video is from [Field Report 3rd Zone - Declaring Loyalty, Female Honor Guard] aired on May 31, 2018. ▶ Female Honor Guards of the Republic of Korea Armed Forces You must be at least 165cm tall and have eyesight of 1.0 or higher, as well as have both looks and skills to be selected. It is not easy to be selected, and the training process is also harsh, so not many people willingly take on the challenge. Only applicants are selected through a strict screening process, and the average number of successful applicants is about 3-5 each year. The honor guard's main job is to participate in events. They perform honor guard ceremonies at the airport when foreign dignitaries visit, and they also perform demonstrations at the War Memorial of Korea plaza every Friday at 2 PM. In addition, there are always many other large and small events. However, since their duty is to be soldiers of the Republic of Korea, they also have to train every day. The female honor guards have almost no personal time due to strict discipline, perfect skills without an inch of error, and training twice as much as regular soldiers. That is why they are always tired and busy, but they are proud of being honor guards and soldiers more than anyone else. Because I never forgot that I represent the Republic of Korea for even a moment. The last graduating members of the Women's Military Academy, the new honor guard members... Let's meet the harsh 6-month training course before they were born as honor guard members! The new recruits are the last graduating members of the Women's Military Academy, and the 6 were selected in September 2002. After a month of training, they had a graduation ceremony on October 19. After the graduation ceremony, they can finally become honor guard members after receiving about 6 months of training. The most important thing for honor guard members is teamwork! Although the soldiers are accustomed to group life, it was not easy to synchronize their movements and even their eyes. After practicing all day under strict seniors, it is often tiring and difficult. There are countless instances of getting bruises from being hit in the face or head while turning a heavy rifle. After practicing standing all day, their feet are worn out and their legs are swollen. After work, they would collapse from exhaustion, but they had to practice alone until late at night to become the perfect honor guard. Finally, 6 months later, on March 7th... the day of their first event... They were no longer the rookies they used to be. They had become more sophisticated than they looked, even in their eyes. They were nervous and excited, but smiles finally spread across their faces after safely completing the event. The past 6 months were difficult and tiring, but their beginning is now! 6 rookies who are working hard to create an image of soldiers who are closer to the people.
