My youngest recieved his 1st duty assignment orders. He is heading to South Korea. His mother and I were hoping he would get stationed a little bit closer to home than that but I guess its time to adjust to the fact that he has grown up.

My brother was stationed there too. He did not love it. Winters are apparently pretty rough, and US soldiers aren't exactly beloved.

If you are in the army and they tell you that you have to go to say South Korea, can you say "No I would rather go to Hawaii, so please change my assignment."?
