How to prevent the violence in Army

   
   

     Since Korea is the only divided country in the world, almost Korean men have to go army for about 2 years. This length of period is not short. Therefore, many accidents happen in army. In my experience, many bad things occur in my military service. It's hard for us to prevent these problems perfectly. However, there are my good ideas to prevent violence.

     First of all, Before joining the military service, we usually take only physical check up. I think personality test is also important like physical check up. Therefore, by taking personality test with physical check up, we can select people who have strange personality. Indeed, Between 2010 and 2011, About 7,300 new soldiers who have abnormal personality added to General outpost unit. It is so big problem. So I think prevention before joining army is so important.

     Secondly, The Ministry of National Defense must strengthen laws and punishment concerning violence. When I was a soldier, there is much violence. However, the penalty was so low. Moreover the officials were reluctant to punish and just let him stay there. As officials have a force, they must care about this more and try to watch out.

     Thirdly, because there are many officials in the company, I think officials have to sleep with normal soldiers by taking turns. In the army, usually at night there is only one official in the company. Therefore, senior soldiers annoy juniors during night. In my experiences, I was so afraid at night; senior usually gathered us in just one room and then kept teasing us so many times.

     Lastly, we can make good education program. Due to mental problem, some soldiers bother juniors. Therefore, Army has to come up with many effective education programs. Not only for juniors but also for seniors and officials. It’s so important to prevent accidents

     Though Korean army is getting better for environment and facilities, there are problems of violence. Since many ordinary people attend army as a duty, I hope The Ministry of National Defense can reduce problems of violence in Army.
