Two guys from my flight school class got orders to Korea in 1970, to fly Cessna O-1 Birddogs on the DMZ. They were excited not to be going to Vietnam.

Six months later I saw them in the club at Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam. They said that Korea was so bad that they volunteered for Vietnam to get out of ROK. Worse, they did not get credit for their six months in Korea .. so they incurred a 12 month tour in Vietnam!

But they both survived their Vietnam flying. Barely.
