Well, we had a guy in my basic training platoon who was getting back in, and they made him go through basic again (at 35!). He'd been an SF combat medic - He basically kept us patched together better than the military docs could have... Taught a buncha folks how to tape ankles, etc... He was highly respected by everyone, including the DIs... He coulda largely slid, but hey...

Hey, with your educational background, you may end up a black hat type... The army needs training cadre (face it - MOST of what you will do throughout your military career will likely be training), and an educational background is a Good Thing.

Southern White Boy Culture: If at first you don't succeed, kick the sumbitch in the 'nads, and try again. Don't get too hung up on being Asian. As of a few weeks from now, you're gonna be GREEN.

Of course, if you get the same Korean DI that I had, you'll also be tinged with hints of red, from all the abrasions and contusions...
