In the unit to which the client belonged,Forgery and falsification of travel permits occurred very frequently.

Many soldiers even shared methods of forgery and alteration with each other. There was no significant detection or punishment for this.

Because the majority of people living together were engaging in the act, and no separate issue was raised, it was difficult for the clients to recognize the illegality.

Additionally, the unit's own management was also very inadequate.

In the case of the soldier checking the exit pass at the main gate, he only visually inspected the exit pass and did not even compare the original and the copy.

The reason the clients committed such crimes was also influenced by the atmosphere within the unit.

What the clients arbitrarily modified was ‘time to go out.’

The originally permitted time was 3 hours, and 3 hours were arbitrarily added to this to make it seem like a total of 6 hours were allowed to go out.

There was actually no special reason why the clients increased their outing time like this.

I was just a child and wanted to enjoy a little more free time outside.

In reality, the clients only briefly visited the PC room at the time and did not commit any significant offenses.

Since the investigation began, the clients have gone about their daily lives with a very heavy heart.

I also reflected on the past when there was no awareness of criminal punishment.

With this mindset of reflection, the clients faithfully participated in the investigation and trial.

Additionally, the clients were all conscientious college students and had no criminal history, so the risk of reoffending was significantly low.

The clients' families and acquaintances were also earnestly requesting leniency.
