I am reclassing to 14G in January. In the process of trying to get my orders for school I was told my follow on assignment was Camp Humphrey in Korea for July 2022. I am married and have 4 kids is this an unaccompanied post?

Korean tour is an unaccompanied tour unless given approval for Command Sponsorship

You can get accompanied for Humphreys, but you are going to have a lot of trouble doing it in time. Your school starts in a month. Hopefully you have your orders and DD1610 in hand. You have to start with an EFMP screening, then command sponsorship, then passports for your family. Since you won't be there, your spouse will have to do all this on their own. Then you will have to get your orders amended to an accompanied tour. You will have to clear before you leave to school because you will still be on an unaccompanied tour because it's very, very unlikely you will get your command sponsorship approved and orders amended quickly over the holidays half day work schedule. So, your spouse will have to do all this on their own, then arrange for travel. You won't be authorized to return to the states to fly back with them unless it's on your own leave

The Army has changed, be prepared to go unaccompanied SGT, I was sent to Korea, and I was a SGT, Wife and 4 children. E-5's were not authorized an accompanied tour for one year in Korea, that was back in 1989 to 1990. You can try to live on the economy but if your not Command Sponsored it's tough. It was HARD and TOUGH, but we made it. Good Luck to you SGT and GOD Bless.
