About

Welcome to the ROK Drop the leading military weblog out of Korea.

This website has been online since June 2004 providing news and analysis from the land of the morning calm. If you came to this site to learn more about this part of the world, than you came to the right place, but keep in mind that this site is far from being the definitive take on Korea and northeast Asia. To learn more about this fascinating and increasingly important part of the world, I highly recommend you use my link menu located on my sidebar to explore the many more blogs and information sites dedicated to this area.

Also on the ROK Drop you will also find a lengthy listing of historical posts about the Korean War and Korean history in general that I highly recommend reading. Also if you are looking for travel advice and ideas for visiting Korea this site has a wealth of touring information as well. Korea is beautiful country to tour around in and will provide many great memories if you take the time to really see it.

All postings on this site can be accessed through the Archives tab on the above tool bar and clicking the corresponding category to search the archives. If you would rather do a key word search on this site then use the search bar located on the sidebar in order to search my archives.

If you find the posting you were looking for or something else of interest feel free to join in the conversation by leaving a comment. A number of highly intelligent readers frequent this site and can really expand on any inquiries you have and would love to read any further information you may have to share on a topic.

Finally, if you have any questions please feel free to drop me an email at: gikoreaonline (@) yahoo.com . It may take a little while because I may be away from the computer, but I respond to all email and I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Once again welcome to the ROK Drop and thanks for visiting.

I was staioned there back in the mid 90’s and would like to see what it looks liek now and also would like to track down an old friend that lived there.

Thanks for the help!
