What are the NCO barracks like at Camp Casey?? What is 1-38FA like??

Ok, I was not in 1-38FA, but in Camp Casey. I was promoted to SSG in Korea in 2008. I was in the E1-E5 barracks (stayed there because it was super close to the BDE). If you have a roommate, it is ultra cramped. Some E5's had some. Ask your sponsor. They had the rules about no candles, no cookers... so you don't burn the place down. You have a lock closet to secure your items, which you can fit. The bathrooms and the furniture was in a great condition in Camp Casey 2008 compared to me going to Camp Eagle in 2003.

Two things that I would recommend for you. One, do not take extra crap. Really, you will exhaust yourself trying to store it. Two, bring things that can organize your stuff. Things that go under your bed, those plastic bins and those plastic bags you can vacuum with to compress your stuff. It also can get warm in the barracks.

An offbeat tip, signup for strongvpn.com so you can tunnel a US IP address. The korean internet will drive you nuts because it will keep taking you to korea youtube and korea google, even though u select the US OPTION. Get a US IP address, bamn... it always thinks your in the US. I didn't figure this out until 2010 when I went to Iraq and used it in Iraq. If you also have a US IP address, you can shop easily, use netflix, and other things US based.

It should have not changed much, but it's your typical furniture in the barracks. U know, the desk thing where you can lock, the three shelves below. Pretty standard bed. Best of luck there. BTW, if the rule has not changed, you can not be above .10 alcohol ever, yes... even on leave there. The motto is "Fight Tonight" and please do not hang out with the "juicy girls". I was a paralegal enlisted and the drama never ends. Go to school, hang out in Korea with the Korean soldiers, and just have fun.
