I am pcs’ing to Korea as a 68W, and I’d sent an email to the 65th MED BDE CSM requesting to be assigned to the CSH. He replied with an email to the S1 NCOIC instructing him to ensure I was slotted to that unit, however I received a welcome letter from another battalion at Camp Walker. I’ve been told that you don’t receive pinpoint orders until you get there, so is it possible that it will change?

Your pinpoint can change up until you get here... I was slotted for Camp Henry and wound up in Yongsan. They can also do an inter-theater transfer if necessary once you're here. My advice is to be patient.

Absolutely. Concur with SFC (Join to see). About the only way you could get close to a solid bet is if you convinced the CSM to go fight for you with the other CSM's. Other than that, you are up for assignment upon arrival. It allows the replacement center to manage MOS strength across the force.
