Yang Sung-Woo B Co., DSTB Indianhead Indianhead 4 August 27, 2010 Travel the Country August 27, 2010 5 10 places to visit while in Korea Featured travel site: 10 Jeju Island: Jeju Island is a Korean version of Hawaii. Home to wind and stone, its distinct dialect and palm trees makes the island very unique. There are enough beaches and tourist spots to spend a full four-day weekend. Herb Island Specialty foods include Jeju pork and fresh sashimi. There are Family Mo- rale Welfare and Recreation tours, as well as many do-it-yourself packages that include flights, hotel stays1 and car rental in the market.
Gyeongju: It is one of the most ancient cities in the Republic of Korea. It used to be the capital of Shila, one of three kingdoms in the 5th century. It has many historic sites, to include royals tombs. Its nickname “museum without the wall” will make sense to you when you see every streetlight decorated in a traditional lantern shape. This city is also home to one of the biggest Buddhist temples in 2Korea, Bulguksa.
Insadong: Located inside Seoul, this historically artsy area welcomes many foreign tourists for souvenir shopping and traditional Korean cuisine. It is also home to art galleries and street food. The main street may look boring, but if you venture out to the side streets, you will find cozy traditional tea houses and restaurants. 3
DMZ: Visiting the Demilitarized Zone of the two Koreas will shed some light on why you are here and what purpose you are serving. The historic impor- tance sets in after you stand right at the divided line and face the north Kore- an soldiers. It’s something you should do, even if you are not in the military. Some units offer complimentary trips to the DMZ. You can also schedule tours through Family Morale4 Welfare and Recreation or USO. By Sgt. 1st Class Michelle M.

Palaces are worth the visit to see how the royals lived and see the beautiful Korean gardens. The palaces are iconic symbols that represent traditional Korea. Most of them offer English-guided tours throughout the year. 7
Amusement Parks: Amusement parks may sound out of place for Korea, but surprisingly there are many which can be a thrill. Two main ones are Lotte World in Seoul and Everland just south of Seoul. Everland is the big- gest theme park in the country. Its size and extensive entertainment scale rival Disneyland. Lotte World hosts both outdoor and indoor theme parks and has many up-to-date rides8 that can make your stomach turn.

Take a walk along the stream and venture into down- town modern Seoul to find the most unexpected sites in the city. This is a must-see place because many tourist attractions line the stream’s path.

신입 카투사를 위한 인디언헤드가 소개하는 선배 카투사들의 조언 뮤지션 2면 4면
<인디언헤드 한글판 8월 특집호> 미 2 사단에 오신 것을 환영합니다!
미 2 사단은 주한미군의 주력 전투부대이다. 미 2 사단은 6.25 전쟁 때 한국으로 증원되어 참전했으며 그 후 일부 전력을 오늘날까지 한반도에 주둔하며 한반도의 전쟁 억지력 유지에 기여하고 있다. 한국 내의 미 2 사단은 1전투여단, 210포병여단, 제 2 항공여단, 사단특수근무대대 등으로 이루어져 있다. 미 2 사단은 한미동맹의 핵심전 력이며 매년 한미연합훈련을 비롯한 강도높은 훈련을 실시하고 있다. 사진은 로드리게즈 사격장에서 훈련중인 장병들.
이번 인디언헤드는 자대에 갓 전입한 카투사들을 위한 정보와 조언을 담은 '미 2사단에 오신 것을 환영합니다' 특집을 재인쇄 한 것 으로 4면의 '명곡 소개' 추가, '영화 소개' 갱신, 몇몇 구성을 수정한 것 외엔 7월 30일에 발간된 인디언헤드와 동일합니다. 논산훈련소와 KTA를 거쳐 전역할때까지 생활할 자대에 온 카투사들을 위해 조금이나마 도움이 되고자 했습니다. 9월에 병장 진급을 앞두고 있고 미 2 사단 공보실에서 인디언헤드 한글판 편집을 맡고 있는 저 또한 자대에 막 전입한 이등병이었던 시절이 있었습니다. 이등병 시절을 되돌아보면 참 정신없었던 시절이었습니다. 뭐가 어떻게 돌아가는지 모르니 항상 긴장의 연속이었습니다. 그만큼 군생 활에 대한 도움이 필요했습니다. 저는 선임병장과 섹션 선임들을 통해 그런 도움을 얻었었습니다. 하지만 직접 겪어보지 않고는 알 수 없는 것들이 있습니다. 이번 인디언헤드에서는 섹션 선임들보다, 선임병장보다 더 빠른 전반적인 군생활에 대한 조언을 담았습니다. 인디언헤드 종합 2010년 8월 27일 2 새로 자대에 전입한 신병들에게 선임들이 말해주고 싶은 10가지
1. ‘이등병’이 되자. 6. 누구나 자기가 속해 있는 곳이 가장 힘들다고 생각한다.
자대 전입하는 이등병들에게 해주고 싶은 말은 ‘이등병이 되라’이다. 단순한 계급 어느 부대에 배치받았다면 훨씬 편했을텐데 혹은 다른 MOS를 갖으면 좋았을텐데 이 아닌 진짜 이등병이 되어서 해야할 일들을 알아서 잘 할 수 있다면 카투사 선임 라는 생각은 버리도록 하자. 카투사라는 엘리트 군인 신분임을 항상 인지하고 자 들과 미군들 모두에게 사랑받는 병사가 될 수 있을 것이다. 자신의 현재 위치를 파 신이 맡은 일에 충분히 자부심을 갖도록 하자. 부대 밖만 보지 말고 부대 안으로 현 악하고 해야하는 일을 찾아 그 일을 하는 것은 자신을 비단 군대에서 뿐만 아니라 재 자신이 있는 곳에 애정을 조금 더 쏟아보는 것이 좋다. 사회의 어느 조직에서도 항상 필요한 사람이 되게 해 줄 것이다. 7. 선임들에게서 되도록 많은 것들을 배우도록 하자. 2. 미군들과 친구가 되는 것을 두려워 하지말자. 막 자대에 전입한 만큼 모든 것이 새로울 것이다. 새로운 것에 적응하기 위해 선임 카투사뿐만 아니라 함께 일하는 미군들과도 어울리고 서로를 알아가는데 힘을 써 들의 말을 잘 듣고 뭐든지 열심히 하려고 하는 자세를 갖도록 하는 것이 좋다. 신 보자. 미국의 문화를 배울 수 있으며, 서로를 이해하는데 도움이 되고 일의 능률도 병으로 지낼 몇주가 그렇게 길지 않을 것이다. 하나하나 가르쳐 주는 선임말을 잘 오를 것이다. 한국의 여러 명소들을 데려가서 구경시켜주고 맛집들을 소개시켜주 따르고 군인의 본분에 충실한다면 아무 문제 없을 것이다. 며 문화를 공유하다보면 한미우호증진에도 보탬이 될것이다. 8. 전역때까지 무언가 적어도 하나 이상은 이루어 놓도록 하 3. COB 후 여가시간이나 주말에 자기계발을 하자. 자.
카투사로서 군복무기간은 약 20개월 정도 된다. 이 기간동안 개인에게 주어지는 그 목표는 책을 몇권을 읽겠다가 될 수도 있고 군생활 이후의 진로를 위한 자격증 자유시간을 절대 얕봐서는 안된다. 어떤 카투사는 이 시간에 자기 계발을 하여 많 취득일 수도 있다. 게임에서 만렙을 찍겠다는 목표도 좋으니 확고한 목표설정을 하 은 것들을 얻고 어떤 이들은 그냥 허송세월하기도 한다. 막연한 목표보다는 구체 도록 하자. 전역후에는 사회인 그리고 어른으로서의 책임감이 생기게 된다. 군생활 적인 목표를 세워놓고 실행에 옮기는 것이 좋다. 동안 많은 것을 이루어서 전역후에 오는 부담감을 덜도록하자.
4. 선후임간에 좋은 관계를 맺자. 9. 카투사는 대한민국을 대표해서 미군들과 동맹관계 안에서 인맥은 중요한 재산이다. 군생활 동안 여러 선임들과 후임들을 만나게 될 것이다. 함께 일한다는 것을 항상 잊지 말도록 하자. 선후임들과 친해져서 군생활도 잘하고 제대후 사회생활을 하면서 인맥도 생기면 일석이조이다. 같이 취미활동도하고 힘들때는 서로 도와주면서 좋은 관계를 쌓아 우리들이 하는 말, 행동 하나하나가 미군들 입장에서는 한국인들에 대한 태도에 중 나가는 것이 좋다. 요한 영향을 미친다는 것을 알아야 한다. 군사외교관으로서 모든일에 솔선수범하 고 outstanding 한 모습을 미군들에게 보여주도록 하자. 5. 피할수없으면 즐기자. 10. 긍정적인 마인드를 갖자. 군생활을 하면서 훈련, PT, 디테일 등 삶을 고달프게 하는 것들이 많이 있을 것이 다. 하지만 자신이 하기 싫다고해서 안할수는 없는 것이다. 이왕 하게 된것이면 최 어렵더라도 항상 밝은 표정과 태도로 모든일에 임하자. 모든 것을 열심히하고 군에 선을 다해서 즐기면서 하도록 하자. 보다 적극적인 태도로 궂은 일들을 도맡아 한 대한 상세한 지식을 배워나가다보면 최고의 카투사에 한걸음 다가갈 수 있을 것이 다면 미군들에게도 인정을 받고 소중한 경험들도 많이 얻을 것이다. 다. 꼭 할 수 있다는 자신감을 갖자.

1.Battalion run & NCO run 2. PT Test, 사격
Battalion run 과 NCO run 은 미 2 사단의 행사 중 가장 정기적인 것이다. KTA 떄부터 PT와 사격의 중요성은 귀에 못이 박히도록 들었을 것이다. 보통 한 달에 한 번씩 하게 된다. Battalion run 은 대대의 장병들이 아침에 모 자대에 오면 KTA에서 PT와 사격에 합격했든 불합격했든 다시 갱신해야 한 여 약 4마일 정도를 뛰는 것이다. 계급에 상관없이 모든 장병들이 참여한다. 다. KTA에서 봤던 PT 테스트는 자대에서 만날 선임들과 미군들에게 당신 그만큼 대규모다. NCO run은 E-4이상, 즉 CPL(상병)부터 CSM(주임원사) 이 KTA에서 PT에 합격했는지를 보여줄 뿐이다. 자대에 오면 자투리 시간 에 이르기까지의 NCO 들이 함께 달리는 행사다. 대대 달리기와 비슷하지만 에 열심히 PT를 연습하는게 좋다. KTA에서 PT를 떨어졌더라도 자대에서의 NCO들끼리 하는 것이다 보니 강도가 더 높다. 보통 아침 0545 에 포메이션 첫 PT는 꼭 합격해야 한다. 선임들과 미군들에게 실망을 안겨주고 외박도 제 이 있다. 늦지 않도록 주의하자. 한당하고 싶은가? PT와 사격은 6개월에 한번씩 기록을 갱신한다는 것도 알 아두면 좋다.
3. Warrior Friendship Week(WFW) 4. Warrior Stakes
매년 4월 초에 진행되는 행사다. 카투사와 미군들이 함께 어울리는 미 2사단 Warrior stakes는 미 2 사단이 매년 분기별로 실시하는 최고의 군인을 가리는 최대의 축제다. 일주일동안 미 2 사단 전체의 부대들이 참가하는 스포츠 토 대회이다. PT와 수영, 사격, 완전군장 행군, 숙영 등의 종목으로 이루어져 있다. 너먼트가 펼쳐진다. 참가할 지원자를 받기도 하고 미군 일등상사가 각 섹션에 요청하면 섹션 NCO들이 일주일(월요일~금요일)동안 장병들은 축구,농구,족구,기마전,이어달리기,줄 자신들의 병사들을 참가시키기도 한다. 참가해보면 마치 논산에 다시 온 듯한 다리기,씨름 등을 하며 친목을 쌓게 된다. 월요일부터 목요일까지는 Casey, 느낌을 받을 수 있다. 특히 전투병이 아닌 행정병이라면 매일 아침 하는 PT외엔 땀 CRC, Stanley 등 각 캠프에서 예선전이 진행되고 금요일에 캠프 케이시에서 흘릴 일이 드물다. 워리어 스테익스에 참가한다면 미군 방탄복과 헬멧의 총칭인 ' 결승전이 펼쳐진다. 결승전 중간중간엔 치어리더 공연, 특전사 무술시범, 한 풀배틀'과 군장인 '럭색', 그리고 총까지 매고 걸어볼 수 있다. 분기별로 종목이 약 국군 의장대 제식 시범, 국악 공연 등 다채로운 볼거리들도 있으니 기대해도 간씩 달라질 수 있다. 예를 들어 겨울에는 숙영, 여름에는 수영을 하는 식이다. 이 좋다. 미군들과 친해지기도 좋은 기회이고 놓치면 아까운 행사이니 휴가를 쓴 워리어 스테익스에서 좋은 성적을 거두면 역시 포상휴가를 받을 수 있다. 한국군 다면 되도록 피해서 쓰기 바란다. 무엇보다 소속 부대의 팀에 참가해 입상한 에 비해 포상휴가의 기회가 거의 전무한 카투사로서는 Warrior Friendship Week 다면 포상휴가 등의 혜택이 기다리고 있으니 잘하는 종목이 있다면 선임병이 과 더불어 포상휴가를 받을 수 있는 몇 안되는 기회다. 나 미군에게 참가하고 싶다고 말하고 참가하라! 인디언헤드 종합 2010년 8월 27일 4
인디언헤드 한글판 편집장이 소개하는 기타리스트 시리즈 그 세번째 : 블루스 기타의 거장, 노래까지 잘하는.. 슬로우 핸드(Slow Hand) - Eric Clapton (1945~)
나 잇 앤 데 이
톰 크루즈와 카메론 디아즈가 출연 한 슈퍼(?)블록버스터 나잇 앤 데이가 드디어 부대 극장에 찾아왔다. 자동차 정비공으로 일하던 준(카메 론 디아즈)이 공항에서 자신을 뒤쫓는 특수요원들에게서 도망치는 중이었던 2009년 야외 무대에서 연주중인 에릭 클랩튼. 그의 별명이 슬로우 핸드 혹은 기타의 신인 것처럼 그의 기타도 별명이 있다. 밀러(톰 크루즈)와 부딪히며 사건은 바로 블래키(Blackie)가 그것이다. 우리말로 하자면 '깜둥이(?)'다. 블래키는 에릭과 수십년을 함께했던 기타다. 사진과 비슷 시작된다. 둘은 같은 비행기에 타게 하게 생겼지만 훨씬 낡아버린 모습의 진짜 블래키는 지난 2004년 그가 자선사업을 위해 연 경매에서 95만 5천달러에 팔렸다. 되고 비행기에 탄 특수요원들은 밀러 를 노리지만 실패한다. 비행기는 밀러 의 조종으로 불시착하고 밀러는 준에 <간단히 정리한 그의 인생사> 게 수면제를 먹여 데리고 탈출한다. 밀러가 쫓기는 것은 그가 가진 어떤 그는 1945년 영국에서 태어나 14살때부터 기타를 연주한다. 그는 어렸을 때부터 머디 워터스(Muddy Waters)등 것이 미 정부에 중요한 것이기 때문인 초기 블루스 연주자들의 음악에 심취한다. 그들의 영향을 받은 에릭 클랩튼은 고향의 작은 클럽에서 연주를 시작 데.. 특수요원들을 가볍게 따돌리는 한다. 많은 공연으로 탄탄한 실력을 쌓은 그는 야드버즈(Yardbirds)라는 밴드에 스카웃되어 당시 적수가 없을 정 밀러와 어쩌다 보니 그와 함께하고 있 도의 테크닉과 카리스마로 유명해졌다. 그때 그의 나이가 겨우 20세다. 이후 블루스 브레이커즈(Blues Breakers), 는 준이 펼치는 액션이 볼 만하다. 크림(Cream)등의 밴드에서 활동하며 세계적인 스타가 된다. 하지만 음악적 견해차로 밴드 활동을 그만둔 그는 1970년 마약에 빠지며 4년여를 방황한다. 하지만 그는 1974년 마약에서 벗어나 재기에 성공해 여러 앨범 발매와 CRC :: 극장 수리중 영화음악 등에 참여하면서 수많은 히트곡들을 내며 전세계를 무대로 활발히 활동하고 있다. 그는 현재까지 총 16 CASEY :: 05, 11 개의 그래미 상을 수상했다.

인디언헤드-한글판-스태프 미 2 사단장 *추천곡목 - 워낙 유명한 곡이 많은 그이기에 추천곡 고르기에 애를 먹었다. 필자는 사실 야드버드, 블루 소장 마이클 S. 터커 스 브레이커즈, 크림 시절의 곡들은 잘 모른다. 그러므로 비교적 최근(90년대~현재)곡들로 골랐다. 한국군지원단 지역대장 중령 이균철 1. Tears in Heaven 2. Change the World 공보참모 그의 하나뿐인 아들이 아파트에서 실족사한 1996년에 발표된 곡으로 내가 손이 별에 닿 소령 윌리엄 그리핀 후 작곡한 곡으로 1992년 영화 Rush 에 삽 는다면 당신께 따다 주고 싶고 내가 왕이 된 입된 곡이다. 담담하게 말하는 듯한 목소리와 다면 당신을 여왕으로 맞아들일 거라는 닭살 공보행정관 역시 담담하게 그의 노래를 뒤에서 받쳐주는 가득한 가사를 자랑하는 곡이다. 참 은근한 중사 로버트 티몬스 기타연주가 심금을 울린다. 밴드 버전과 언플 곡이다. 기타 치면서 여자친구에게 불러주면 공보관 러그드(어쿠스틱, 쉽게 말하면 통기타로 연 참 좋아할 것 같은 곡이다. 물론 노래도 잘 불 주한 버전)이 있다. 곡이 발표된 해의 그래미 러야겠지만.. 기타 치는 사람들에게 하는 얘 김현석 의 '올해의 노래상(Song of the year)'을 비 기인데 이 곡은 핑거링으로 쳐도 좋고 스트로 편집인 롯해 6개 상을 휩쓸었다. 크로 쳐도 맛이 나는 곡이다. 상병 정호영 3. One Track Mind 4. Got you on my mind 기자 상병 이현배 에릭 클랩튼이 2005년 발매한 앨범 'back 제목은 글자 그대로 당신이 마음에 있다는 home 의 10번째 수록곡. 지금은 곁에 없는 뜻. 가사 또한 당신이 마음에 있어 마음이 울 이병 홍상운 연인이 생각나 잠을 이루지 못하고 뒤척이다 적하다는 곡이다. 블루스의 정석을 보여주는 사진 전문가 곡을 썼다는 가사가 인상적이다. 가사로 보자 듯한 곡이다. 류후선 면 왠지 슬픈 곡일 것 같지만 오히려 몸을 들 필자는 이 곡을 그의 2001년 일본 콘서트 실 썩이게 만드는 곡이다. 이 곡의 제목을 설명 황에서 처음 들었다. 블루스가 어떤 음악인 인디언헤드 한글판은 미 2사단 카투사들을 위 하고 싶지만 신문에 설명하긴 적당하지 않으 지 궁금하다면 이 노래를 들어보고 아 이런 해 공보실에서 발행하는 미국방성 공인 신문입 니 직접 찾아보면 재미있을 것이다. 에릭 클 게 블루스구나~ 하면 될 것이다. 니다. 신문 내용은 미 육군의 의견이 아닐 수 있 랩튼 특유의 허스키하고 힘있는 목소리와 통 습니다. 인디언헤드지는 일성 양행 인쇄소에서 통 튀는 어쿠스틱 기타, 에릭이 연주한 일렉 격주간지로 발행됩니다. 기타 솔로까지.. 잊을 수가 없는 곡이다. 취재 요청은 732-9518으로 전화 바랍니다. 인 디언헤드 한글판에는 바탕체가 기본 글꼴로 사 용되었습니다.
