I have the link to KAL's ab initio flight school somewhere on my failsafe fallback list of job links, but I can't find it. Just google something like "Korean Aerospace University" or something like that.
The best Military Aero Club for an FAA Flight Instructor is Coleman Aero Club in Mannheim, Germany. Foreign language skills not required, as you're teaching 98% active duty and SOFA US civilians on base. I don't have first hand experience with them, but I've heard you set your own rate, and must have a SOFA (status) card to be there legally. I.e. get a Part-Time civilian job (there are ones ranging from Taco Bell on base to bartending at an oc or bowling alley--usajobs.com or CHRA or AAFES job search).
They are N-reg Cessnas, not sure if they have a need for CFIs in the current climate (they probably have former instructors furloughed from RJ jobs here). Who knows. All I know is it's the best deal in all of Continental Europe on a 172 or 152--the second you touch a German plane or German fuel, you're going to pay 300% more!!!
Let me know how it works out...
