Junior enlisted typically get their pinpoints at the Replacement Center at Yongsan. As an HR specialist, there is a good probability you may remain at Yongsan, but it will depend mostly on the needs of the Army. While Yongsan is good duty, seeing as it's in Seoul, Cp Henry isn't that bad either. That's in Daegu if I'm not mistaken.

PFC (Join to see) - You may not already know this, but the way the Army does assignments is by putting a name against an authorized open (or projected to open) slot on a unit mTOE. They may have filled all the available open slots with your classmates, and by the time they got to your name, there may not have been any open slots left. Like I said, if they have pinpoints and you don't, it could either mean a) you are staying at Yongsan or b) they are waiting to see if there are any last minute holes that open up between now and the time you report.

PV2 Heather Kenward. If you have received your orders, that means you have done your sponsorship request. You should have recieved information from a sponsor. All personnel coming in country will arrived in Yongsan to inprocess theater. Depending on mission strength, you will be sent to where you are needed. I am on my third tour to Korea. I understand that you wish to remain in Yongsan, but it may not be the case. Not necessarily just because you have a pinpoint assignment mean you will automatically go there.

To the the comment that everyone goes to Casey/Hovey is inaccurate. All personnel go through Yongsan and then are farmed out from that point across the pennisula.

Also PV2 Kenward. It you have a smartphone down the this app. It is called "Penn Around". This app has a wealth of useful information for you to use.

SFC Ocie Conner - Have they moved (or talked about moving) reception to Humphreys yet. Yongsan is "supposed" to close in a few more years....

LTC Paul Labrador, currently USAG-Yongsan is schedule to push to Humphreys in efforts to facilitate the big move. This should occur this summer. As far as the other TACOMs and MACOMs I believe that is still a few years out.

Because the unit that you are going to haven't decided yet where to place you. Let's hope they let you stay in Yongsan.

As a 42A you might be assigned to the 19th Expeditionary Sustainment Command. They arrive and do initial inprocess all new arrivals to 8th Army/Korea. They are HQed at Camp Henry, but there is a unit at Yongsan, right next to the Dragon Hill Lodge.

You will likely do your first week at Camp Casey/Hovey doing inprocessing stuff.
