Angry Frustrated in Korea

Hey guys.

I'm here at Osan Air Base in South Korea trying to finish my private.

I was pretty pumped up when I got my assignment here, learning that the Air Force has an Aero Club here with 7 C172's, as my ops tempo at my last duty station in the CONUS had me all over the country and in places such as Iraq.

This assignment offers me some stability knowing that I will not be TDY as much, however, it pains me to find out that there are no CFI's here, the one that is here right now is an Army Helo guy who commutes down from Camp Casey and flies his ass off!

I've been reading about how high in demand CFI's could be in certain locations and situations, but I personally didn't have that problem when I was back in the states.

So much for my goal of walking away from my year here with my certificate!

There's gotta be a straggler hiding out somewhere. Does anyone have any suggestions on finding a CFI with FAA certs in this country? Or do you think I am SOL?
