This is my first real PCS move. I just want to be prepared for anything and just wanted some insight. I know the whole quickest way to make whatever rank but I'm not going go there to get in trouble or to find trouble. Thank you.

SSG Armstrong,
It will be a great assignment but it has been a long time since I have been stationed there. Remember to train your soldier everyday, everyday if they have to much free time trouble is near.
I would also enroll in college too.

Thanks 1SG. However, I have realized no matter where you are, if you give your Soldiers too much time they will find trouble. And I am already enrolled.

Pretty much ditto to what everyone else said. Big one is curfew. They have zero tolerance for busting curfew, so do not get caught off base after curfew. It's an automatic field grade Article 15. As a Chap Assist you can literally end up anywhere on the peninsula. If you get offered Yongsan, TAKE IT. Living in Seoul is awesome. Something that will help is to learn a little Korean language and learn how to read the Hangul alphabet. It's phonetic so it's actually pretty easy. Once you learn to read Korean (at least being able to read names and familiar words), using the bus and subways will not be as daunting.

When your not in the field or at the gym take every chance you can with BOSS and the MWR to take trips around the country. You will have plenty of time to do it so enjoy it, dont be a barracks rat.

Definitely take advantage of the BOSS program. I remember going to Beijing on a 4-day for about $600. Everything was included, airline tickets, transportation in country, food, and lodging.
