CAMP CASEY, South Korea — A young Army specialist stationed in Korea legitimately just wants to go sightseeing in Thailand, although some unsettling behavior by members of his unit in recent days has given him doubts, sources confirmed today.

"The first sergeant calls me into his office for what I thought was gonna be a safety lecture," said Spc. Lance Brender, "but then he fist bumps me and just says, 'aww yeah.'"

Although Brender thought that perhaps the first sergeant was just enthusiastic about cheap airfare and close proximity to Thailand, he later heard soldiers whispering behind his back in the motor pool, while others began nodding their heads and flashing ear-to-ear grins.
