Khalil,
When I was in VietNam ('66-'68) Korean civilians served on our base (electricians, plumbers, mechanics, etc.). Their government only allowed them to keep a very small stipend for necessities (toothpaste, soap, etc.). The rest was deposited directly into their accounts in Korea, and they could not touch the money until they returned to their country.
