JBLM is aligned with the Pacific area. You may go to a rotation in Korea, but it's not guaranteed.<br />Years ago 2ID did rotations to Korea, now other units at other posts rotate to Korea for 9 month rotations.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 27 at 2019 9:17 PM2019-01-27T21:17:22-05:002019-01-27T21:17:22-05:00CSM Charles Hayden4322073<div class="images-v2-count-many"><div class="content-picture image-v2-number-1" id="image-298994"> <div class="social_icons social-buttons-on-image">
