By Here is USFK’s response to limiting the popularity of the command sponsorship program in South Korea:
The U.S. military on Tuesday announced a new policy for troops seeking command sponsorships in South Korea that prioritizes the most-needed jobs and gives commanders wide discretion in deciding who can bring their families.The revised policy gives commanders “the flexibility to make command sponsorship available to servicemembers that occupy duty positions where continuity would most improve mission readiness,” according to a U.S. Forces Korea news release.
A USFK task force began reviewing its 2-year-old command sponsorship policy last month because of the high demand for those slots, which are limited in number by a infrastructure at bases around the peninsula, particularly schools. [Stars & Stripes]
Read the rest at the link but the S&S article does make one mistake in it. It stated that non-command sponsored spouses do not get their housing paid for in Korea. Non-command sponsored families can get BAH while in Korea, what they won’t get is plane tickets to and from Korea plus priority for on post services such as schools and hospitals.

"President Lee Myung-bak's choice for new defense minister said Friday that South Korean jets will bomb North Korea if Pyongyang stages an attack similar to last week's deadly artillery barrage."…
""In case the enemy attacks our territory and people again, we will thoroughly retaliate to ensure that the enemy cannot provoke again," Kim said. The hearing is a formality as South Korea's National Assembly does not have the power to reject Lee's appointment."

That should keep things calm until North Korea collapses.

I think the wives want to keep an eye on their GI hubbies so that they don't blow all their money on Filipino juicy girls and get sexual diseases. The fun in the sun is coming to an end, guys. Enjoy what little time you have left guys.
