We just came down on orders for Korea. His DD5434 says his gaining installation is 8th Personnel Command. But email says 0019 CS REPL. Help?

8th Personnel Command is Camp Humphreys. 0019 CS REPL is 19th down in Daegu in Area IV. So we are mildly confused on where we are going.

He can go anywhere in Korea. He must first elect to go on a command sponsored tour otherwise he’ll go unaccompanied. What is his report date?

A lot of times when a SM receives orders, the unit listed is different from the one they actually end up going to. Such as is the case with your husband.

8th Personnel command is the designated unit that overseas staffing and manning needs in terms of raw personnel for Korea. A persons orders, unless otherwise specified will list this as the gaining installation no matter where they are headed in Korea. Then it breaks it down further within 8th P Com ie 0019 CS REPL... this is a replacement unit that further refines exactly where the SM is going withing their sphere of control in Korea.

IT just means that there are likely multiple openings for an 88M position in Korea, thus the lack of specificity as they don't know just yet exactly where he is going, let alone the exact gaining unit.
