Reasoning that North Korea now poses no more of a likely threat to the South than did the former Soviet Union to Western Europe during the Cold War, the Pentagon has decided to dramatically increase the number of duty tours in South Korea that include family members, and to lengthen most such tours from two to three years.
In addition, married troops will also be able to bring their spouses and children along for 2-year command-sponsored tours in two cities that lie between Seoul and the Demilitarized Zone that divides the two nations, and do not currently allow family accompaniment.
Standard unaccompanied tour lengths of 12 months would be unchanged for single troops.

POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
