If you are not sure, and use any form, you can try the service period like this.

to specify the whole period of service.

Military Specialty/Occupation: ___________What is this?? What does this mean?? _____________________

This is for his/her speciality/occupation he/she performed from the military (probably the one he/she performed when he/she discharged).

Usually it is specified in his/her military service completion record - jeon-yeok-jjeung-.

Such as 100 (Infantry men)...

It doesn't matter much.

As long as consular officer understand it...

If not, he will ask questions. :whistle:

It is more of informational purpose.

If somebody put "spy" or "espionage" for occupation, he/she may be getting into trouble. :whistle:

Since the system changed a lot, I'm not sure whether this will work or not.

But when I translated "Jumindeungrok chobon", it had listed my military record, so my translated copy had military record from "Jumin Chobon".

Therefore I used that record for this question's answer.
