Usually its the ROK officers we interact with - there are so many of them. But the enlisteds are the fun ones. They're in this for the shortest time possible - 2 years of mandatory service as an enlisted versus 3 for officers. More than you'd think spent significant time in the US (or Canada). They're a lot of fun and we try to take care of them the best we can - invite them to eat at our DFAC or give them junk food from our care packages. Typically their English is better than the average officer, so its easy to joke around with them.
Feeling left out, they asked if we would play soccer with them. It was more fun playing with them than with the senior officers - they would actually play with us, instead of kicking the ball around us. (Most of us Americans aren't good at soccer - they all think I'm the best player, and I haven't played in years)
