PCSing with Cats.

I'm headed to Osan from the UK in September. I'm coming with two pets. Currently the travel plan is UK to Seattle and then Osan. Long trip with a stop over. I'm looking at taking a direct flight to Seoul as it looks like I can check my cats at some airlines. Has anyone done this recently with their pets?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Osan AB off base housing, quarantining, and getting your car shipped to Osan 2022

How are the off base apartments options in korea right now? What are some really nice places (like high rise apartments)? I saw an apartment called “Paragon” I thought looked really nice, has anyone lived there? Who are some good realtors to go through to find nice apartments there?

How is the quarantining process right now?

My husband is currently an E-4 (he might be an e-5 by the time we get there tho) but because I’m his dependent would we be able to get our car shipped there and if so would we have to pay for it?

I appreciate all of your replies. I’m scared I need answers 😅

Class VI at Osan/Humphreys

How is the liquor selection at Osan and Humphreys? Is it the usual stuff? Or do they ever get higher end stuff? I’m mostly into bourbon but like just about everything.

Off base housing question

Is it true that all military personnel should only find off base housing through the realtors "licensed by Osan AB?" I was told so by the realtors in front of the gate.  

The realtors seem like unnecessary middlemen. They don't try to find tenants nor negotiate the rent (military rates are fixed) but they charge the landlords a fee that is equivalent to 3 to 6 months rent, which is crazy. 

So is the "license" a real thing? or did the realtors make it up to scam landlords that don't speak English?

FedEx deliveries

My children live on base with their mother and step-father. I'd like to send a bday present to my son, but the company that sells the gift item is based in Hong Kong; i.e., no USPS option for delivery; it's FedEx only.

I contacted the USO on base to see if they might assist. The rep. told me that all buildings on base have a Korea-based address that can be delivered to by FedEx. My son's step-father gave me the the Korea address of the building they live in. That part was easy.

My question is: Are FedEx drivers let on base to deliver packages? Or does the driver simply deliver to the main gate, leaving the final delivery in the hands of base personnel?

I'm more curious than anything; I really just don't want my son's bday present to get lost somewhere.

Thanks!

PCS CSP

I'm a SrA and got tentative Approval for CSP. We are aiming for June. We have a departure date end of May and RNLTD in July. It would be me, spouse and a two year old. I'm looking for some fun things to do for family, date nights, tips and anything useful or that you wish you would have known. I like to plan ahead.

So far we've been warned of Songtan Sally, and told to go to Iteawon (spelling?) and Mud Fest if that ever happens again. Anything contrary to this? Or to add. We are extremely excited.

How are things in osan right now?

I might choose osan for my next duty station in November possibly. Is everything on complete lockdown? Will I be able to just leave outside of post and grab a bite to eat? (Really want to try Korean food) And how’s travel right now?

PCS to osan in July married but unaccompanied.

I'm an A1C, currently stateside and my wife will be moving back home with her mother when I leave. Will I still receive BAH to help support her while I'm gone? If so how do I set all that stuff up for the state she'll be residing in? Also what will my housing situation be like once I get to osan, I'm assuming I'll be in the dorms. Thanks for the help in advance!

PTD Batteries

I was wondering if there is a place in the SED to buy a battery for my PTD. I can tell it’s starting to go bad and need a new one very soon. Was wondering if y’all know a reputable place that may even take my old battery for a core charge discount.

I was just notified that I’ll be coming to Osan in March 2022. Coming from Whiteman. I’m married with two kids. I plan on leaving them in the states. I’m just curious about how my time there will be? Also is it cheaper out there (food,alcohol,etc). Want to save money but still want to enjoy my time.

Where do dogs poop?

Hello! I just got orders to Osan. Yay! I have a 65 lb dog that I would like to take with me, as I intend to extend my stay. Most of the homes I see within my price range are apartments. I am wondering… where do the dogs poop? Do apartments have dog runs? Are there a lot of dog parks?

Did there used to be a Godfather's in Pyongtaek?

My dad was in Osan maybe 15 or 20 years ago for a while. He distinctly remembers a Godfather's pizza being there, but is either wrong or it closed. It's bugging the shit out of him. Any idea whether there was a Godfather's?

Edit: there was no godfathers
