E-mailing my soldier overseas?

Question

My soldier just got deployed overseas to s. korea and we plan to e-mail each other. I was wondering if it takes e-mails longer to get to him when he's in Korea than if he were in the states. Anything else you know about Camp Casey Korea would be great too!

Answer 1

It shouldn't take any longer for e-mails to reach him then if you were mailing someone in the states.

Answer 2

That depends if you send it Priority, Standard, or Space Available Email.  

Answer 3

It takes just as long/short as it does within the States. My husband and I mainly communicate via IM, sometimes there's a bit of a lag, but that's doable, too.  South Korea isn't really a deployment though, it's a duty station...

Answer 4

No, it's the same as if you were emailing him here in America. Phone calls will take longer, and I recommend he gets Vonage or Skype to save some money. And as a surprise, you should send him a webcam with speaker capabilities, then you can talk instantly online AND see each other! It was the best thing for me and my bf's relationship while I was stationed there last year.
