The Move

I know many of you already know the news about my unit leaving Korea. In case you don't here is a quick explanation.

We were told that our unit would be re-stationing from South Korea to Fort Carson, CO which is just outside of Colorado Springs. The first wave of people would be leaving by the end of December with the rest following behind in mid to end January. I was going to be leaving sometime around the end of January. The entire unit was scheduled to be in CO and ready to train by Feb '09. This is taking place so we can conduct the training necessary to get ready for a deployment to Iraq by the end of '09.

That was the original plan, up till a week ago. Now we have been told that no one will be leaving Korea until March. From what I understand this is because the unit that will be moving in to Korea to replace us won't be here until then plus the South Korean government wouldn't let us leave until then. That means that the dates for everything else has been pushed back as well. Sometimes I just love the way the Army conducts business.

Here is an news article that has a little more information.
