I am looking into volunteering for an accompanied tour in Korea. My only concern is finding a unit for my Wife to transfer to. I looked into fms web and saw no billets for her MOS in the area. Is there another way for her to come on the tour with me?
Cheers!

If there are no slots for her, there are a few options she can do.
1) Fly back to the states once a month to attend her monthly BTA's.
2) She can speak with her unit and see if she can get approval to RST (Rescheduled Training) with a unit in Korea every month and just submit 1380's to her unit.
Those are about the only options I can think of.

If a position isn't available, she could try to:
1. Get permission to RST with a local unit
2. Transfer to IMA unit - they do all their drills together, so 3-4 weeks consecutively once a year and they pay for 1 way travel unfortunately you have to pay the other half the travel
3. Transfer to the IRR where she wouldn't have to drill - may not get
'good years' toward retirement

There is quarterly drilling units in Hawaii I believe still or other options, there should be units in Korea/ Japan just depending on her MOS or if willing to reclass or go in I'm MOS immaterial, she could also consider going IMA. Have her get with her Career Counselor
