Going to 501st Sustainment Brigade; how can I know what camp I will be at?

I am currently on assignment to Korea to 501st Sustainment Brigade and was wondering if anyone out there could lend me a hand in helping me get pin pointed to Camp Humphrey's or a unit in Camp Carroll. My wife's family is from the Gumi and the closer south to them the better. It would be great if anyone is able to help out.

Have you looked up the installations on Google and then gone to the websites to find contact numbers and emails to try and network for assistance over there, or another avenue is check the RP search engine for the installation (s) as well to see if any RP members are here on site and hit them up directly it might get you quicker response and help.

Good luck.

Here is the e-mail to 501st Sustainment Brigade's sponsorship manager, not sure if they have any influence on sending you here or there.

Who you really need to get in touch with is your unit's LNO at 19th Personnel Company at Yongsan. I can't seem to track their number down for you though, all I can find is the Staff Duty number for 1RC which is the replacement company, [login to see] /3050.

Considering your MOS you will likely be at a CSSB. If it is the same as when I was there you will likely go to 498th CSSB (Camp Carroll) or 194th CSSB (Camp Humphreys in Pyongtaek and Camp Stanley in Uijeongbu).

I am in the 501st, 194th CSSB but I am in the 61st MC at Camp Stanley in Uijeongbu. I am the NCOIC for the Allied Trades Shop/ Service and Recovery Section. Let me know when you find out for sure where you are headed. Could be a few different places.

Hey man sorry it took me so long to respond but there are a few family members that are here with soldiers stationed on Stanley in both 61st Maintenance & 46th Trans. They live in Uijeongbu which is about 5-10 min from post (depending on where in the city they live). There have been changes to the CSP for Area 1 personnel but I have not seen any of them take effect yet. One of the major changes being not allowing CSP for Area 1 personnel but in this case 1 of 2 things can happen. 1) the soldier is stationed here in Area 1 with the family members being housed in one of the other areas or 2) they relocate the soldier to another Area with their family! Unfortunately this is probably not something you will know for sure until you are here! I hope this helps at least some man & will help in any other way I can!
