How can I get my orders to Korea deleted or changed?

Simply apply for a change of station, not even remotely likely to happen. How sure are you that your tour is not accompanied anyway? Thank you for your service.

Your chances are slim to none unless you decline and that is a bad Idea. VERY BAD IDEA!!!!! My sugestion is to get with your branch manager ASAP and begin a command sponsorship. Other wise do your one year and try to request a good follow up assignament afterwards.

Request command sponsorship, then your family can accompany you but your tour will be two years.

Nope, short of you screwing your military career up or knowing someone like secdef or secarmy that would be compelled to pull those strings you have no option but to go.

I get it, you have a new family and you want to be there and spend time with them but you signed the dotted line and you have a willing obligation to the Army and the nation to do your duty and go.

Now, that said, no you cannot get your orders deleted or changed but you might, MIGHT be able to swap with another troop. But BOTH of you have to be willing to do this, if they even still allow such a move.

I don't think GOD takes Requests for orders changes but you can give it a try . LOL

SGT Cardenas,

First, congratulations on the birth of your Daughter and your desire to be the best Father possible, that’s a commendable thing. In regards to your orders and assignment to Korea... The first step would be not to listen to all of the negativity that everyone seems to have; however, talk it over with your Wife and then as a couple, make a choice on your assignment, she may surprise you and say, please go... The next step would obviously be to contact your assignment manager and schedule a time that you, your Wife and the assignment manager could speak by phone so that the best decision possible can be made. BLUF; although SFC Boyd is partly correct, the 22-years and 14 assignments (3 of which were in Korea) I had tells me to talk to your assignment manager, sometimes assignments can be deferred, deleted or maintained. But, it starts with talking to your assignment manager. What is your MOS?

Volunteer for the sfab it's the army priority right now.

Not to sound ugly but as they would say in the old Army, "Stop pissing and moaning, accept the assignment and make the best of it". I was in Korea 1962-1963 on a remote assignment, P.Y.Do Island, The Rock in the Yellow Sea up on the 38th parallel. We lived in quantset huts, slept on WWII bunks no AC and oil heaters for heat in winter, had to sleep under mosquito nets to keep out the mosquitoes and frogs and a central shower in the middle of the compound. Everything had to be at least 4 inches off the floor because when the monsoons came, the water came in the back door of the hooch and ran out the front door, could not wear civies when outside the compound. You will probably have the privilege to live in a barracks with private rooms and bath, nice dinning and recreation facilities. Take the assignment and enjoy because you may not pass this way again.

Korea is not as it used to be, i was there in the 90's and took my family with me. Enjoy the overseas experience and exposure to other cultures.

If you don't want to go my first instinct is you need to ETS. However if you are due for Reenlistment check with your Reenlistment NCO and Try to Reenlist for duty of choice.
