A Month in Korea

As I've mentioned several times before, Ben was recently on a training exercise in Korea. Now that he is home, I was able to get a good glimpse of what the past month was like for him through the photos he took. In addition to working primarily on the USMC's Camp Mujuk, Ben also worked on several different army bases for both the United States and the Republic of Korea. At the very end of the exercise, he managed to squeeze in a tour of the city of Pohang, Korea's "steel capital."

All-in-all, it seemed like Ben learned a lot and really appreciated this experience. Even though I hate when he's away, we are both hoping he gets the opportunity to assist with a few more training exercises before we leave Okinawa. This little glimpse of Korea also gave Ben and I the motivation to travel to Korea for real in the future, Seoul is calling our name!

I'm so thankful to have my guy home safe and sound although I'm not holding my breath that this will be his last training exercise this tour...
