<Anchor> An



Air Force judge was eventually dismissed after repeating truancy and tardy.

In less than 20 days, the judge filed a lawsuit claiming it was unfair.

However, the court of first instance ruled to cancel the dismissal.



Reporter Jeong Ban-seok covered it alone.

Mr. A, who has worked as a military prosecutor at the Air Force Flight Corps' Legal Office since August 2018.



However, Mr. A's military service was unique from the beginning.



I did not go to work for a total of 8 days at will, such as absenteeism for four consecutive days from the day after placement, but I was caught on a false business trip.



It was common to be late for several hours and leave the office a few hours earlier.



They did not attend major meetings of the unit and did not even wear military uniforms during office hours.



The unbearable Air Force dismissed Mr. A for the first time in less than a year, but Mr. A filed a lawsuit to cancel the dismissal and confronted it.



The court said there was no doubt that Mr. A's negligence was serious.



They even said that they had only observed 19 rush hours in more than 7 months.



However, he ruled that his dismissal was canceled, and he gave this reason.




At that time, the overall discipline of the Air Force's legal office was undermined, and if dismissed, the disadvantage was significantly greater compared to the mistakes committed, such as not being able to register as a lawyer for three years.



Even other military judges responded to this ruling as absurd, saying, "I will leave without permission."



Despite this misconduct, Mr. A was not a detective.



[Yoon Heo/Attorney: If you are a general private soldier, if you leave the workplace by this level, you can be arrested and punished by criminal penalties.

I don't understand the fact that he did not prosecute a criminal, but simply punished him...

.] In



response, the Air Force said it had dismissed Mr. A in order to expedite the removal of Mr. A from work because the criminal penalties process took a long time.



Mr. A, who has been dismissed while serving as a military judicial officer, will be discharged from the military without any disciplinary action and will become a lawyer if he wins the appeals trial.
