I am currently visiting Army Reserve Soldiers in Korea. This is my third time in Korea. All of the Soldiers here really enjoy their assignment in Korea whether permanently assigned or here for an exercise.
They enjoy culture, the food, and the Korean people are very friendly.

BOSNIA, hands down CSM! I was in Korea for an exercise. Meh. To be completely fair, I was there as a civilian providing assistance to the military (it is part of what motivated me to join). I lived on the economy in downtown Sarajevo and was free to travel. The country is beautiful, the food is amazing, and the people are the best. I was there for almost 4 years.

This is dawn over the city. I love this picture because it captures the sadness, yet the hope of a new day.

CSM Thomas, I spent a total of 13 years in Korea and enjoyed it. Duty was rough at times, especially up on the DMZ! 83-84, 87-90, 91-00. 91-00, I was based out of Camp Casey as a contractor, but was all over the 2ID area including the DMZ..... :-)

LOL, Korea there was a time you could easily get shot at or worst! But we gave up the American sector of the DMZ in October 1991. This was a common site in the DMZ, picture below. :-)

CSM,
Korea was my first overseas assignment as a Soldier. I went to HS in Germany as a dependent and that was GREAT! I will say I thoroughly enjoyed almost everything the Far East had to offer and the opportunity to travel. The work you do overseas is challenging and the military communities are great.
