Serious people, there is no movement at the moment here that the US is moving its dependents out of S Korea or at the military bases in Japan.

Can you elaborate on that sentence, it's a bit confusing.

Family cant go to Korea so there is no dependants in the camps. In fact in Korea its considered a combat zone since the US is still at war with North Korea. There was no treaty signed to end the war and has never really ended. Or in other words you dont know what your talking about.

Dude ... didn't you say you were a US Army Ranger somewhere on the boards here?
There have been dependents in Korea for as long as I can remember. There are way more today (percentage wise) than back when I did my first tour. I think most of the limitation was centered around being able to ensure basic necessities.
Yes, there are still one-year unaccompanied 'hardship' tours, but there are also three-year accompanied tours as well. I think the Command Sponsored rate is right around 25%.
And ... even if you're not Command Sponsored ... you can still bring your family with you for a short tour at your own expense. It's a PITA and expensive, but that's how I 'went' on my second tour.

Yes, I know that. Thanks for making it clear, that once married to a s korean lady she is shipped to the US, is that right?

I hope he comes back and clears up his explaination.
