South Korean Air Force Looking for Top Guns from Online Gamers

The US Military is not the only one looking to recruit gamers. The South Korean Air Force is also on the look out for talented, professional online gamers as support personnel for the development of war-simulation programs starting next month.

“Generally, professional gamers are very skilled in dealing with computer-related things. We're sure their capabilities will produce a substantial synergy effect for the military's online programs,” stated the S.K. Defense Ministry. After going through a four-week basic military training course, five selected pro-gamers will take part in the development of the Air Force's aviation simulation programs and war-game simulations as program testers.

There are about 300 professional gamers in S. Korea and players there have won several major events at online gaming or e-sports.
