Korea requires 6 months on your ETS date from when you return CONUS. That means your ETS must be 7 months past your DEROS. You will receive assignment instructions no later than 6 months prior to your DEROS once you arrive in Korea. Korea is a 1 year tour unaccompanied, so your DEROS will be 12 months after arrival.

If Korea will be your 2nd duty station, I highly encourage you to call your branch and have a conversation with your assignment manager. Even if you volunteered for the assignment that is something he should have explained to you. 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Fri, 01 Feb 2019 02:22:51 -0500 2019-02-01T02:22:51-05:00 2019-01-29T19:25:51-05:00
