My unit is going to be going to Korea again next Summer but I was recently asked if I wanted to volunteer to go to Germany with another BDE. This will be my first deployment and I'm sure not many people get the chance to decide where they go so I wanted to get other opinions

From a travel position, I would pick Germany as there are many other Countries that you can travel to while there.

from your post - it seems that you already did a stint in Korea - which is a wonderful place, my question is - Have you been to Europe yet? If not - jump on that opportunity - getting to see and experience new places, people, and cultures is one of the greatest perks of military service, and you have an opportunity to see places you would normally never get to see. especially at your age (yes I am assuming you are young) How many of your friends from home have seen Korea or Germany? I Unfortunately was on the Korea to States express and did 3 years in Korea and never got the opportunity to see Europe until after my service was over. IMHO - go to Europe.

Like SSG Robert Perrott says if you haven’t been to Europe then Germany is where I would suggest you go . There is so much to see when stationed in Germany. I was there for fifteen months and I’ll never forget being there . I say go to Germany.

SPC (Join to see) it doesn't sound like bad choice either way the bigger question is what do you want to do?

You've never been to Korea. It's hot, humid, and smells like shit in the summer. The smell is because they dump shit in the rice paddies for fertilizer. In the winter, it's balls freezing cold. You spend most of the winter in the field because the ground freezes and tracks won't get stuck.
