It was common during the Park Chunghee era to see male workers and students wearing military-style uniforms at school and work. Boys in college had a required military training class, so they just wore their camo uniforms to school and often in public. The pattern they wore was this black and white scheme:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1478246[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Industry workers wore duck hunter camo (as you see in the picture) </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1478248[/ATTACH] </p><p>...and he also likely had a required military training at work, similar to a "home guard" type program, and from what I've seen in photos, they trained with wooden rifles in lieu of actual firearms. You'd have to ask somebody from Korea who was around at that time to give you the exact name of this program for workers at that time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
