Re: arriving in Dec and still no answers
First off welcome to the site! We will be your sponsors!

I have a ton of info on the Osan Guide.

Read the living off base part here: http://www.osanguide.com/livingsongtan.html

I would read up on some of the great posts in the Osan forum.

Korea is an awesome assignment and you will have a great time. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Mike

I'll answer a few, You will get BAH on where your SPOUSE is located. You will recieve Family Seperation pay $250 a month. You will recieve DANGER pay $50 an month.

I'm Army so I cannot help you with the barriacks.

Osan is a great place, you'll enjoy the tour.

Welcome to the site BTW.

Re: arriving in Dec and still no answers
Hey man...hope you got some help on this already, but in case you haven't...open up your outlook email, go to the global address book, and look up the unit that you are going to. You'd be amazed at how many group emails they have for the dorms managers, functionals, ect. Well...maybe not amazed, but at least you might find someone with some good answers concerning your new unit. Good luck!

You should get your follow on this week. The assignments list just dropped, so look for a notification soon.
