      Yes, as long as you are not an aviator, PX and commissary are walking distance. A bit of a longer walking distance, depending on your specific SLQ. Be prepared for about .5 to 1 mile walks.

    Do you have to identify the furniture that you don't want to keep on the day you move in? Or can you decide a few days/weeks later?

    • @erinmcshane4859
      @erinmcshane4859  Před 4 lety +1

      You can decide days/weeks/months later. The day I moved in, there was no bed, so I asked for a same day delivery. Much later, I asked for furniture to be removed as part of my one-time authorized furniture removal.
      I chose not to bring my dresser because there was one already here. Looking back, I would have liked to have had mine (drawers don't stick and it looks nicer). It would not have put me over the weight allowance.

      I don't remember the size, but I do remember getting blackout 'curtains' from the PX. It turned out to be just one panel. I turned the thing sideways and used command hooks to attach it. That was when I learned that blackout curtains were a game-changer.

    • @erinmcshane4859
      @erinmcshane4859  Před 4 lety +1

      Definitely ship a bike! So worth it, if you like to bike. On post, the busses are good, but they still only come by every 15 minutes and stick to their defined routes. Humphreys is not a walking post, but it is definitely a 'bicycling' post, you can get everywhere by bike or motorcycle.

    If coming unaccompanied is there an option to live here or off post?

    • @erinmcshane4859
      @erinmcshane4859  Před 4 lety +1

      Depends on the occupancy rate (OR) or how full the on post housing is. The housing office controls that number and tells you whether or not you're approved to live off post. 95% or higher and you're given the option to live off post. If you get here before the wave of post-stop/move PCSers, you'll likely be forced to live on post. If after, you may have a better chance.
      if you have a friend here who offers you a place to live for a while, you can wait out the OR rate.

      Internet speeds are better in Korea. You can get a phone plan and use tethering for Netflix, browsing, etc on multiple browsers without buffering time. Have not tested gaming over a tethered connection.
      Using the phone instead of getting wifi drops your bill significantly. Getting wifi can cost $100/month plus the initial setup fees.
