This Week on the S. Korean Peninsula



Flying around the Peninusula! I was lucky to get a lesson on the chinook and Apache helicopters down at Humphreys. While I didn't actually get to 'fly', although it was the most beautiful day, I did get lessons on the simulator.

An update on the N. Korean situation:

I need to retract the fact that N. Korea apologized for the box mines that severely maimed two ROK soldiers up at the DMZ. They expressed 'regret'.

The threat of nuclear tests loom.

S. Korean Delegates traveled to N. Korea to inspect the site of the purported family reunion on October 20 through October 26 at Kumgang Mountain at a scenic resort. This will be the first since 170 families reunited in February 2015. Only about 66,000 family members are alive, most of who are 70 years of age or older.
