As a SGT(P) 11B, if I reenlisted for Korea, which base would I go to? Being married on unaccompanied tour, would I share a room with someone?

As a SGT(P) you might have a roommate and you might not. It all depends on the barracks and how many E6s there are in the unit. Because all E6s get there own room automatically.

The Camp they send you to is up in the air. If you're lucky you will go to Camp Humphreys. I enjoyed my time there and yes you will have to share a room. Luckily in my barracks I didn't have a roommate for half the time; but when I did have a roommate we shared a common area but had separate rooms.

Lucky to go to Camp Humphreys? I was there for a couple months from my Camp Casey/Hovey tour. Was helping out the BN S-3 for Key Resolve 2017.
Everything is very spread out in Humphreys which makes it rough if you don't have a car. And the bus system is terrible compared to Casey/Hovey. Plus there is a train station right outside the front gate at Casey. At Humphreys there is nothing but taxis. Oh and unlike Casey, there is no English requirement for taxi drivers at Humphreys and they happily drop you off at the wrong location if they think you are new to the base.
I will say the dining facilities are very nice in Humphreys though.

Yea I agree with you there, luckily my barracks were within walking distance of the new commi and PX. And of course they open a Texas Roadhouse as soon as I leave haha

More than likely Camp Humphrey’s mostly all soldiers have been relocated to Humphrey’s for the exception of about half a dozen small outposts

Yeah in the future Camp Humphreys will be one of the main hubs of Korea. Some bases closed while I was there. Camp Stanley being one of them. Which was sad because it was right outside of Uijeongbu and one of the closest bases to Seoul.

are they not sending people to Yongsan anymore? I was there for 6 months planning/executing Key Resolve in 2013 and it was booming.
edit: just googled it. I didn't know they had relocated almost everyone to Camp Humphreys.
