Camp Humphreys PX - What’s Inside?

[@garymathena2125]

Great video, thank you for showing it to us. Good tour.

[@FEDLEO]

I know it takes time and effort to do all these helpful videos, but thanks for doing them. It helps a lot for folks who are planning to go there.

[@erinmcshane4859]

Thanks loads! Today was the perfect day for me to find your encouraging message to keep going.

[@jumpman757]

I finally made over here to South Korea!! Once I get off quarantine im head over there!!! lol

[@erinmcshane4859]

Woo! Welcome to Korea!

[@jumpman757]

Thank you! Once i get settled in, im make a video of K16.

[@erinmcshane4859]

Nice! Please link it here when you do.

[@novaskyzero]

How are the quarantine barracks there in Humphreys ? Is it like normal barracks or more like basic training style for quarantine?

[@bernied02]

I like how u explained things instead of just walking around and showing them

[@erinmcshane4859]

Thanks for the feedback

[@orfeojoseph9242]

Nice informative video 👍🏾 thanks 😊

[@erinmcshane4859]

You’re welcome! 🙂and thanks!

[@MsDMS1988]

Thanks for the video. You mentioned you can get a Passport photo. Can a soldier apply for a passport while on post or do they have to go to the American Consulate?

[@marksmusicplace3627]

I am blown away how camp humphreys looks today. The PX was no where that big when I went to it to in 1997 and 2000. Korea has changed big time. My first duty station was Camp Carroll in Waegwon in 1989 and its completely built up now. Korea is definitely a way better duty assignment as far as the buildings. PX, Gyms, and things to do. in my tours in korea. Yongsan was the only place that had a decent size PX.

[@erinmcshane4859]

The facilities on Humphreys are absolutely built up and most are new and modern. Still in construction as well.

[@rogerbanks9104]

The Yongsan PX didn’t come anywhere near this in the seventies!

[@joliemcshane]

Nice!

[@leuthdpc1004]

Does US Military Retirees authorized to shop at the PX or Commissary while visiting in Korea?

[@sin7wu]

that starbucks is still at the same location since i've been there in '08. Wow the PX looks amazing now.

[@erinmcshane4859]

We're very fortunate to have such nice facilities

[@jc7741]

Can GS employees and their families shop at the px and use other services on post?

[@Kklkoko]

So it looks like you finished the 7 year mandatory service after graduating westpoint. Are you still living at Korea as a civilian? Is it a lot easier to get a GS job with DD214 these days?

[@erinmcshane4859]

I switched to Reserves then volunteered for a training mission in Korea. A GS job doesn’t excite me, so I haven’t fully explored that path.

[@dorisn.7203]

You video was great. Can we get adaptors at the px? Can you say more about having your own car?

[@erinmcshane4859]

What type of adaptors? I may not be able to answer your question either way, however. You could try calling/emailing the exchange itself. I chose not to get a car and just carpooled with a buddy whenever I wasn't using my motorcycle. A car can be picked up for $1100-3000 easy. You can find get a car from someone PCSing out of your unit while you PCS in, by going to a place like Gorilla Motors, or by checking the Camp Humphreys/Pyeongtaek buy/sell pages

[@dorisn.7203]

Thanks Erin. I was talking about electricity: voltage adapters and plugs.

[@erinmcshane4859]

Ah, ok. I am confident you can, but I am no longer in Korea to verify.

[@aki2065]

How big is AAFES PX Mall in Camp Humphreys? Is it bigger than AAFES BX Mall in Kadena Air Base (344,000 sq ft)?

[@erinmcshane4859]

Apparently not: Humphreys PX is 300,000 square feet.

[@kwdaughterofzion1760]

My husband E-4/E-5 and I are pcsing in April next year. And we will have a 2-5month old. What housing works best for on-post?

[@erinmcshane4859]

You found it! The old and new towers are the only on-post housing options for families ranks O-5 and below.

[@ttdur8102]

I couldn't really tell. Are there any swords there? If not do you know where I could buy one?

[@erinmcshane4859]

There are usually small swords. Not quite sure where you would find large ones. There’s a market near the Gyeongbok Palace in Seoul that would have them, but I’m sure you can find a closer solution than that.

[@ttdur8102]

@@erinmcshane4859 For some reason I missed this reply. Thank you!

[@an_inward_odyssey]

Hi Erin, are the ebikes and e scooters there really more expensive?

[@erinmcshane4859]

That was the case when I was there, yes.

[@jacquelynsaenz2111]

So this camp Humphreys this is in South Korea really if it's really in South Korea. Do they allow everyone to go inside including like foreigners

[@kimmyb3779]

I doubt it. If you can't access px in the state you can't access this either. the one who possess px and commissary access such as active/reserves and their dependents maybe?

[@spencerheilig13]

Hello. I'm stuck in quarantine and in desperate need of a crockpot. The volunteers at the px say there is no crock pot but I don't believe them!! Please help.

[@erinmcshane4859]

I believe the volunteers. I’m not so convinced of your desperate need.

[@erinmcshane4859]

Time to upgrade, get an instant pot: www.shopmyexchange.com/s?Dy=1&Nty=1&Ntt=Instant+pot

[@armyprecioussoldier]

If you take a vehicle from the states to Korea how does vehicle insurance over there work?

[@erinmcshane4859]

Get insurance with a provider who covers Korea, I.e. USAA

[@ryank0351]

I'm a USMC veteran with VIC(VA ID) . Do you think I can access base with it?

[@erinmcshane4859]

No idea

[@davidgarrison5270]

WAIT!! Where was the Chic-fil-A??

[@erinmcshane4859]

What's that? JK. Correct, there's no Chick-fil-A.

[@남자김태환-b5l]

damn i wish south korea treated their soldiers as the states does cuz south korean military facilities are wack asf smh

[@sharpasacueball]

I blame conscription

[@hjk8743]

Can you please do icecream aisle at commissary too!!!!!

[@Magic-rz3hd]

It doesn’t have one it only has one at the px I’m pretty sure I live right outside of the gate and I have vent here 100s of times

[@kakaroo12123]

Great video!!! I want to say you something. Im 16 year old korean student. And i really want to visit humprhyes and visit PX or commissary to buy something. But I dont have any authority. SO......can you escort me???????

[@erinmcshane4859]

Haha, Soldiers can get in trouble for saying yes to that question. The answer, unfortunately in your case, is no. Good luck in your studies!

[@kakaroo12123]

@@erinmcshane4859 Thx

[@victoriacisneros2762]

Wow! That's a huge PX. I'm excited to see the GNC! I briefly saw the women's salon. Is it any good? Or are there better options someplace else? What do people use the scooters for? Transportation on post? Off post? Also, you said your brother came to visit you. Where can family stay when they visit? I'm assuming they can't stay in the SM's SLQs? Is there an on-post lodge?

[@erinmcshane4859]

I have only had my hair cut twice here. On post was pretty inexpensive, did the job, nothing I was excited about. Off Post I went to Color Pop. I believe it was $30 and I was quite happy with the layering/trim/communication/wash-dry. My whole family came during Christmas. They stayed at my friend's apartment Off-Post. Saved $$$$. There is one lodge on post, I am not sure of the price. Because only one family member as military ID, I kept them off post so they would be able to shop/use facilities without military ID. There are TONS of Scooters and bikes on post because most Soldiers here are not authorized cars. I'm not sure what the laws are for Off-Post scootering, I haven't seen the PX scooters off post.

[@WilliamMarcotte-io4go]

I was here in 90 91 ot was small old fashioned post I bought Wilson Philips tapes and nilki vinnili and Mc hammer tapes cassette tapes place was a dump nothing to it small store only and they had girls who cut your hair in miniskirts Korean girls near there and a burger King what a little dump
