I will report to Korea February 2021. I’m on assignment to Camp Humphrey, and I previously served in Korea in 2011. What should I expect?

Camp Humphreys is nice, nicer than when I was there in 2014-15. It has been expanded and upgraded, with lots of new amenities. If you are going alone, you will be in Senior NCO housing, which are essentially apartments on post. If you have a family, you will get similar family housing in on-post apartments, or you can look outside the gates.
The Internet there is high-speed (when I left in 2015, they were installing 1 Gig into the barracks.) Of all the places, I think Humphreys is likely the best place to be posted. You're 2 hours drive/bus from Seoul, and you can get around South Korea by train really easily and cheaply. If memory serves, the local train station is Pyongtaek.
Good Luck and have fun! Just remember to stay out of trouble, as taking rank is a sport over there! I've seen everyone from junior enlisted to senior NCOs to Warrant Officers, and even Commissioned Officers get hemmed-up at 2ID.
