I heard there's a very large chance but my soft orders are for Germany so I might not take it if I'll definitely end up in Korea, not exactly my cup of tea.What are the chances of a 91B (H8) going to Korea?2018-08-05T20:45:28-04:00PVT Private RallyPoint Member3855631<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>What are the chances of me getting stationed in Korea if I take hotel 8 (H8) after AIT?

It all depends on what class you get in, they were sending every other class when I went through.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 5 at 2018 11:59 PM2018-08-05T23:59:21-04:002018-08-05T23:59:21-04:00SPC Private RallyPoint Member3855993<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was told by my re-enlistment Sergeant that if you are H8 then it is very high to go to Korea. They also mentioned that with H8 you can just as easily go to Italy so talk to your re-enlistment person about going to ItalyResponse by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 6 at 2018 12:09 AM2018-08-06T00:09:16-04:002018-08-06T00:09:16-04:00PFC Private RallyPoint Member3857451<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The chances of you going are very high.Response by PFC Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 6 at 2018 1:44 PM2018-08-06T13:44:14-04:002018-08-06T13:44:14-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member3859394<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Pretty high. If you request it, you are almost guaranteed to get it.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 7 at 2018 7:58 AM2018-08-07T07:58:56-04:002018-08-07T07:58:56-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member3859802<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you want to go to Korea, it would be too easy. If you don’t, they need H8 qualified mechanics everywhere.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 7 at 2018 10:38 AM2018-08-07T10:38:12-04:002018-08-07T10:38:12-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member3859843<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Don't let the fact that you think you want to go here and not there detract from your career. H8 is one of the best courses I've been to. <br />H8 isn't going to send you to Korea. The needs of the army will. And if they need a h8 that bad they'll simply send you to Korea then send you h8. H8 is needed everywhere.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 7 at 2018 10:56 AM2018-08-07T10:56:51-04:002018-08-07T10:56:51-04:00CPL Julie Haas3860917<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was told Id be going to korea for my first unit but ended up getting sent to Okinawa, Japan. Its all based on the needs of the army. That wishlist you made in basic reception is just that, a wishlist. They could send you, but be prepared to go anywhere. The only duty station you are almost guarenteed is the one you request upin your first reenlistment.Response by CPL Julie Haas made Aug 7 at 2018 5:36 PM2018-08-07T17:36:42-04:002018-08-07T17:36:42-04:00PV2 Private RallyPoint Member3864779<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was class 25(June 18 - July 12). My whole class as well as the previous and class after, had their orders switched to Korea.<br />Also if it gets switched you'll need to get your shots and new orders which can take awhile so, you would be a hold for a bit.Response by PV2 Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 9 at 2018 1:18 AM2018-08-09T01:18:01-04:002018-08-09T01:18:01-04:002018-08-05T20:45:28-04:00
