Thanks A LOT for your help guys. I hadn’t been back to check on the post since I posted, but just to clarify I was talking about Georgia the state.
Well, then, no contest. Korea. While Georgia may be a different experience for you compared to wherever you’re from in the US, you could probably manage to live there on your own at some point in the future. At what point do you see yourself living in Korea and having someone else pay for it if you don’t go now?
Korea.
You might consider that in Korea you have a maniac living next door and he has a very powerful and well trained and equipped military. And he really wants a war. If he starts something, tag, you’re it – cannon fodder, expendible, with your only mission to try to slow him down a little until the world’s troops arrive.
Choose Korea and hope for quiet.
If Krazy Kim goes ballistic, the kids in Georgia get sent, too.
Go Korea.
Korea, no question. It’s really beautiful in places, and like everyone says–you can always visit Georgia on your own.
Be aware that a great tragedy of military life is that a lot of people never really leave the base and surrounding brothels. Of course, it depends on where in Korea you would be stationed, but you should make an effort to take advantage of having been sent there for free and try to really see something of the country. I dated a guy once who had been stationed there somewhere kinda far from civilization, so it was difficult to see Korean culture of the non-teenage-prostitute kind, but not everywhere is like that.
