| | So my husband received his 1st duty station in Active duty status today. We're going to Camp Coiner, Korea! None of my family flies and I'm scared to death. It seems awesome online but that doesn't help! Anyone know what it's like? Positive or negative is appreciated thanks!

| | My first duty station was Korea. The people there are generally very nice and Soju (alcohol) is very cheap you must try it. You can get anything you want made: leather jackest, suits for $100, lots of look-a-like designer clothing for very good prices. There is a lot of technology type stuff in Seoul if you are into that, or if you just need a new camera or something to that effect. The bar scene is awesome and there is always one in walking distance of post. If you have kids it is a bit of a dirty place in some spots but if not, you guys should have an awesome time!
Don't mind the children peeing in the streets, and holes in the ground for toilets (in some places, but not all).:)

| | Thank you so much! We do not have kids and we have been trying. However, I have already thought to put that on hold. I'm not too comfortable with having kids in Korea. I am very nervous and excited at the same time. Hearing from someone whose been there helps a lot!

| | Actually, I just got to Korea myself. I've managed to avoid it for ten years, but It fianlly got me. I don't see now what I was concerned for. This place is not really bad. The people are VERY friendly, and he's right alcohol is cheap, but there is too much to see here to spend every night obliterated.

| | Sweet! Maybe I'll see you around! Thank you for making me feel better!

| | I was in Yongsan (Camp Coiner) in 2006-07 with 41st signal bn. I am married also and my wife couldn't come with me. Did you somehow get command sponsorship? It was a great experience except for the fact that I had to live without my family for a year. You definitely have to go out and explore. Seoul is huge and sometimes, overwhelming, but if you get some of the Korean nationals you meet to show you around, it will be a great experience. Enjoy.
