the only Major League player to have his career interrupted TWICE by military service was the great Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox, serving in a Marine Corps pilot in World War II and Korea.
Ted Williams lost five seasons during his prime. He served as a United States Marine Corps pilot during World War II and the Korean War. During World War II he served as a flight instructor at Naval Air Station Pensacola . After six games in 1952 Williams was called up to active duty in the Korean War. Williams a pilot flew combat missions over Korea. Hit by small-arms fire during one run, Williams crash-landed his crippled jet and escaped from the flaming wreckage as he said "Faster than Mickey Mantle" He returned after 39 missions in 1953.
It would depend on the products you have purchased. However, without very special exceptions, products that have been labelled with "Made In Korea" are mostly from SOUTH Korea.

Be a Republic of Korea citizen
I understand it, as a Marine recruiter told me, that there are no Marines in Korea. The Korean Armistice Treaty has a condition put in by the Chinese that says no Marine units are allowed to be stationed in South Korea. This is said to be due to the heavy costs the Corps inflicted upon the enemy.
Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps was created in 1984.

Probably the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) since it's the closest by being stationed at Camp Hansen, Marine Corps Base Camp Smedley D. Butler, Okinawa, Japan .
I am not sure of the exact numbers, but from personal experience as a US Marine, I know the following countries have Marines: Argentina Chile South Korea North Korea Great Britain United States Which makes more than three, the previous answer. According to Wikipedia There are 53 countries. 22 Of which are considered "historical Marines. I am not positive if all these countries still have operational Marine Corps, as I believe the Handbook for Marine NCO's states a different number.......11 I believe, but it's been a while.
Both WWII, Korea and Vietnam saw up to five percent of the Marine Corps strength coming from the draft. The threat of being drafted into the Army or the Marine Corps as cannon fodder has always kept long waiting lines at Air Force and Navy recruitment offices.

The best and most obvious place to check out videos is on YouTube. There are hunderds of videos there showing drills, training, and Marines in combat in places like Iraq, South Korea and Vietnam. The U.S. Marine Corps website also has some videos and gives prudent instructions on how to train to become an U.S. Marine.
