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

Sign a Dec statement.

Just be glad it's not one of those bullshit Korea "deployments" they've been sending entire Brigades on.

SGT Martin Cardenas,
I didn't really want to read all of the responses, so if I'm being redundant here then disregard. Based on webedas you are coded as priority #3 out of 5, so with #1 meaning (hell no not a chance) priority #3 means you have a shot. First, do not say you want to delete your orders due to the family thing you mentioned above. Certainly, a situation most of us can relate with, that will not work in your favor with approval process. Best advice i can offer is to find a different job that is in demand for what you do and volunteer or think hard about a solid excuse. I hope that helps, good luck!

Served 13 months in Korea (29 Dec 1965-19 Jan 1967). The 2nd Inf. Div. AO went from Camp Howze
(Div. HQs.) in the south to the DMZ north (north of the Imjin River). One Bde. was north of river Two Bdes. south. Two bridges crossed the Imjin in 2nd AO, "Liberty Bridge" and "Freedom Bridge". Spent one night "Up North" (Jan-Feb 1966) when the 4/7th Arm. Cav. did a night march (black-out lights) on road parallel to DMZ, and in small spaced out groups. The 2nd MP Co. provided armed security points the whole length. Armistice Commission Regs, allowed NATO forces to conduct these (prior notice) operations BUT said units weren't allowed to have AMMO!. My team consisted of an NCO, 5 EM & a Deuce/half trk. We were armed with M-14s, basic load and .45 Cal. pistols. It was a cold, black night & snowing. The NK had large speakers that played music & propaganda messages. Weird. Was taking my turn warming in cab (NCO never got out) & others standing in front of trk. radiator catching war air., only helmets visible.
Suddenly & all at once the helmets disappeared and I could see "forms" advancing straight at us. Bailed out and joined the chorus of M-14 bolts sliding forward. SGT turned on headlights and the
forms started waving their arms. Lights out. Turned out they were a Div. Recon/Ambush team who
thought we were their ride. They walked abreast, NO POINT or security. Learned much later GIs
were killed by NK ambush, mines, etc. more often than anyone back in the world ever knew. Vietnam
had all the attention.
Today, S. Korea is like being HERE. Even the prices are the same. Don't know why ANYONE would
want to avoid duty there. It's not Iraq or Afghanistan, that's for sure!
I served 3 years in the Nam after Korea. Nicer climate.

1. Have you even checked about requesting concurrent travel/command sponsorship of your family? 2. Have you even looked into requesting getting changed into an accompanied tour? Instead of asking us for hankies. You have on approx. 6 yrs or so, it used to be retention would not let an E4 go over 8 yrs. Have you been to the board yet, or does the unit feel that you are not NCO material. If that is the case, then you would not have enough service time left for an accompanied tour.

Have you applied for Command Sponsorship?
