PCSing to Korea (65th MED BDE, Yongsan)

2015-11-30T20:22:03-05:00

I am on orders currently to 65th MED BDE. Does anyone know how long it takes to get a sponsor from 65TH MED BDE? How will we know what unit we will be going to in 65th MED BDE? I was stationed with HHB, Eighth Army before. Can I please get some additional information?

What is your report date? If it's within 90 days, you should have received something from a sponsor by now.

That "sponsor" idea never works... Better if you get help from someone within the unit you arrive... But an sponsor per se not gonna happen.

Currently here in Korea. 65th MED BDE liason at in processing will gather all 65th in yongsan and give will give pinpoint orders to personnel. At that point you will find out what areas you will be. Then they will contact your assigned unit to pick you up. That's usually how it works.

I was at 65th BDE 2010-2012. It was my first duty station (I ended up in Waegwan). We had some of the best leadership and Soldiers which made it very memorable. Hope you enjoy Korea as well.
