My husband has orders to Yongsan (report date January) and we have questions (command sponsorship approved)…
Everything everywhere says not to bring a ton of stuff (not that we even HAVE a ton of stuff). Does the Army pay for storage for anything over our approved weight? What about our full-ton dually truck and RV (we want to store them Stateside, of course)?
We have two dogs, both fixed females. One’s about 10 lbs. and the other is about 60 lbs. Can we take them both (neither are banned breeds)?
Assuming we take our Honda Civic hybrid over, is insurance (USAA) a hassle?
Edit: Archangel, thank you! You’re right, you did give the most complete answer and I appreciate it. We have the levy brief in about a week and a half, so I’m sure that we’ll learn a lot more at that. I just like gathering as much info as possible so that I can make informed decisions. Hubby’s an E-7, and I am a DA civilian, so I know that we’ll have a POV authorized. We’d prefer to live off post (Yongsan/Camp Coiner), and will need more info about how to find that, too. Also cell phones? What should we expect to pay and what’s a good company to research? Thanks again.
Edit: To Mr “Heart of Darkness:” I’m sorry you had such a crappy time in Korea, and don’t treat me like a moron because I am lucky enough to finally have a chance to visit another country as a guest of the Army without having to stick my flight helmet on my head and an aid bag on my back. Korea is not a deployment any more…if it were, they wouldn’t let family members go at all. If my four combat deployments (on one of which I fractured my hip and spine to save the life of a CAV soldier who was unlucky enough to have gotten his leg blown off) aren’t worthy of a little bit of simple respect, then you can blow it out your hole.
To the others who answered helpfully and respectfully, thank you. I appreciate your help.
