Really need some advice on how not to go to Korea or who I can talk to for getting my orders changing. I est in July 2020 and I got hit with orders for a year stint for Korea in May. I have my own personal reasons of why it would effect me going I.e finances, house, marriage etc. so wondering if anyone knew what I could do? Doesn’t make much since especially considering my ets date so by time I got there not even 7 months later I’d be ACAPing etc. thanks for advice in advance

Actually you should start SFLTAP well before you PCS. Or you can extend another 6 months to return and ETS stateside.
Unless you have a valid compassionate reassignment /deletion request, you're going to Korea. Korea is the highest priority under the newest manning guidance.

Thanks for the response, I knew Korea is highest priority but I figured I’d ask for advice anyhow. Like I mentioned in the post I have my reasons mainly things with my spouse but what would be considered a valid compassionate request to your knowledge? Also I heard CSM could defer orders if my current unit was under manned NCOs and me filling my position is needed?

SGT (Join to see) your command could ask for an operational deletion, but Korea is required to be manned at 100% and your unit is probably required to be at 85% or so, so there's no chance of that being granted. Short of a general asking to keep you, any operational deletion request will be denied.
Compassionate reassignment would be for things like medical requirements, your spouse has cancer and you are her caretaker. You can find the requirements in AR 614-200.

Hate to say it but its part of the monster. Im over here right now for a year unaccompanied. I didn't want to come either, left wife and kids at home and everything. One thing, finance wise, I am making about 700 more a month between seps pay, cola, locality pay than I was in conus, so you would be able to get ahead a little.
