Camp Hump is a heck of a new post....compared to earlier visits. Most everything is new there. I visited in 2015 when I wrote a book on Korea and it got a great tour of Camp Hump.

The issue will be that you absolutely need a good FCP in Korea because of the evacuation drills.

It is not much of a FCP if it involves either the child or the support person flying from the US to Korea. BAH wise, overseas is typically OHA and it is a set amount; you will get housing of some sort and if your husband is keeping a residence stateside, he should still get BAH at that rate.<br /><br />You need to be prepared for a very rough 1-2 years as being a single parent is rough and watching your little boy live at one place and your husband another will be challenging. I was a major when I went to Korea unaccompanied, almost 40, and that was the roughest time of my life. I had only been married three years, had a three and one year old, and it was hard. My wife spend most of my year in the Philippines with family where she grew up and that made it easier. I hope it is easier for you.

If accompanied with dependent, you are good. Your orders will answer most of your questions SFC Kenneth Hunnell Mon, 17 Aug 2020 17:14:17 -0400 2020-08-17T17:14:17-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/are-you-able-to-go-accompanied-to-korea-with-just-a-child-if-i-leave-my-son-with-my-fcp-will-my-husband-i-still-both-receive-bah?n=6216773&urlhash=6216773 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You can request to go accompanied so you can bring your child and a car and live off base but that’s solely on you. USFK has the right to deny you but that rarely happens because they do want families overseas more in Korea. I just came back from Korea with my family and plan on going back as soon as possible SGT Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 17 Aug 2020 17:27:51 -0400 2020-08-17T17:27:51-04:00 2020-08-17T15:00:54-04:00
