After getting an Article 15 and having my PCS orders cancelled, how can I get the same orders once my punishment phase ends?

I received art 15 during clearing and pcs orders cancelled.
My family live in South Korea and I want spend time with them while in Korea.
I have hard time not seeing family last few years.

How can I get same duty station one that orders got cancelled after punishment phase?

That is entirely up to your branch. When your orders were canceled they more than likely cut orders for some other soldier for that slot. You can attempt to get a hold of branch and ask them after you flags have all been lifted. I warn you though, branch really does not care about the needs or wants of anyone below E7... I've heard of branch telling SSGs to shove it. There are just so many moving parts at that level that finding a way to send a lowly SPC someplace is not high up on the priority list. I got lucky once and had a cool branch manager who got me a PCS to Carson once. I had to work at it and it took me nearly a year of back and forth phone calls and emails, but I got it done. I was also coming off my second deployment and had just been promoted to E5 (both are situations that make it slightly easier to get a move).

Asking for Korea's shouldn't be hard

All you can do is ask.
Korea is generally not viewed as a desirable assignment, so your odds are decent.

It always amused me when a soldier would screw themselves and then actually believe whatever they did would not effect their life. Big army is moving on and your issues take the same priority you gave them when you did whatever you did to get your orders canceled.
