CAMP HUMPHREYS, Republic of
Korea -- A permanent change of station
to Korea is a big move for any military
family. There are many questions that
come to mind when moving to a new
location, with housing being one of the
main concerns. Will we live on or off
post? How large are the homes? Will
we live in a single-family home or an
apartment? Answers to these questions
will vary widely.
"Once all family housing construc-
tion is complete [January 2022], 40 per-
cent of the U.S. Army Garrison Hum-
phreys' command sponsored population
will reside on post, with the remaining
60 percent living off post," said Marcia
Flowers, USAG Humphreys Housing
chief.

USAG Humphreys hosts Military Retiree Appreciation Day

USAG Humphreys Public Affairs
CAMP HUMPHREYS, Republic of
Korea—A Military Retiree Appreciation
Day event was held at the Morning
Calm Conference Center, here, Oct. 19.
The event featured current infor-
mation on retirement benefits and
entitlements, legal and banking ser-
vices, health assessments, and availa-
ble resources at Camp Humphreys for
military retirees, and their families.
Free dental exams, oral cancer eval-
uations, flu shots and medical screen-
ings services were also available at the
event.
Deputy Commanding General – Sus-
tainment for Eighth Army, Maj. Gen.
Daniel J. Christian, served as the guest
speaker and spoke on the importance
of retirees in the Humphreys’ area and
keeping them informed.
“There are over one thousand
[military] retirees in the Camp Hum-
phreys area, and we have one of the
largest overseas retirement popula-
tions in the world,” Christian said.
“Individuals who earned the title Sol-
dier became lifelong members of the
Army team. They have gained access
to the vast network of Soldier support
and resources. We want to ensure that
our retirees are aware of these re-
sources and services.”
Retired Army Sgt. 1st Class Joseph
Brinkerhoff said, events like these are
important to remind retirees that
they are not forgotten and there are
groups and services available to sup-
port them after their military service.
While providing up-to-date infor-
mation to the retiree community was
the primary function of the RAD, retir-
ees in attendance were also reminded
they are valued through door prizes
and a free lunch at the event.
