Just make sure you don't eat any dog. Also, don't use a credit card on hooker hill (know somebody who did that). Make sure you buy a ton of playstation games while over there ($5-$10 each). Stock up on clothes (suits, tuxes especially). Good shopping.

Congrats!

The adjustment might not be too bad, it looks like you're already on Seoul time.

I see a lot of posts between 4 and 5 am, St. Louis time. :wink2:

Military...sorta. I'm active duty Air Force, but I will be doing weather support for a small Army detachment at the Seoul International Airport (AF weather does weather support for all the Army aviation units). From what i have heard it is a pretty cushy gig, as far as Korea and Army support goes.

When I was in the AF, you couldn't have a car at any assignment in Korea unless you were an E-6 (Tech Sargeant at that time.)

This is definately the one downside! I had plans with friends to go down to Austin for the game...looks like that is off now :(. I'll probably be depending on BP to follow live and my folks to record the games for me next season. It's only one year.:biggrin: Hell, I spent three in England and got by.

The coverage on AFN was pretty good this year. They carried all the games except Miami and San Diego St. and I was able to see those on Gameplan Online. AFN also just added a new channel, AFN Extra, which is supposed to allow for more sports coverage.

Found out today I got an assignment to Seoul, Korea.:groove: I've been trying to get over there for nine months now, and I'll be there mid-July. It's a nice cushy 7-4 Monday-Friday job which beats the hell outta the retarded hours I work here. Best part is, its only a 12 month tour, and I get to hand-pick my next assignment. Gonna be celebratin' tonight. :beer:

Good luck, I spent a 12 month tour over there in Suwon. Make sure you take advantage of the shopping over there and be careful what you eat off base.

Oh, by the way.....in the summer, the humidity is a bitch. :biggrin:
