On Feb. 25, the Far East District held a retirement ceremony for Ms. Yu Ok-yong who retired after over 27 years of service with the Programs and Project Management Division.
Yu started her U.S. Forces Korea career as a secretary with the District’s Programs and Project Management Division in Nov. 1994. She was later promoted to program analyst in 2001.
“My life in the District for the past 27 years has been a blessing and a happy time for me,” said Yu. “When I joined the FED, my daughter was a junior high school student and my son was a military trainee. My daughter came back after studying in Germany and teaches students [the] clarinet…and my son became a respected missionary. And, now I am a grandmother of adorable grandkids.”
Yu managed and accounted for over $2.6 billion in numerous Air Force projects during her tenure. She displayed exemplary technical skill and attention to detail in managing project funds in support of the Air Force’s service component across South Korea.
During her retirement, Yu plans on staying busy. Last year, she acquired a Korean herbal flower tea sommelier license. “Starting in March, I will study at the Seoul National University of Education. After completing all the courses and passing exams, I plan to launch my tea brand,” said Yu. She also plans to teach Korean cuisine, culture, and language to foreign workers and North Korean defectors who are new to Korea.
Thank you for your selfless service. FED wishes Ms. Yu all the best.
