In order to have a car here, you have to be of a certain rank, or have a tour of 2 or more years. Or be an officer of course. They get whatever they want haha

I'm dual military / Joint Domicile. Just have to wait for the memorandum to be approved and I'll be able to own/drive a vehicle here in Korea. I've already been here for 7 months, but will have to extend for another 10.

My wife just got here and I'm extending so our DEROS will match, that way we PCS together.

I'm Army brother. I'm definitely not against getting stationed in Japan after Korea, but I really don't think my branch manager will let me do two consecutive overseas tours.
Also, the chance of me getting stationed on Yokota, is about as likely as insurgent groups popping up in Japan. I highly doubt there's a need for a e-3/e-4 interrogator on an Airforce Base.

I'm no longer military, I'm a civilian contractor now . All I can say is Misawa is not a representation Japan as a whole. those who come here thinking that get all pissy. there is tons of things to do up here just can't be lazy. For me it's perfect. cheap houses, land for my cars, track 30 min away and the Toll road about 10 min from my house that gives me access to all of mainland Japan and womanz.

In Misawa though you have to be prepared for the winters. I have NEVER had nor will I ever have a AWD vehicle.. I'm also single, family people seem to opt for one AWD vehicle normally because the wife can't handle a FR car. Whats good for me might not be good for you so it's kind of hard man to say what good and bad. Basically for me.. I got Drifting, Martial Arts, Music, porn and Snowboarding that keeps me busy at all times. All of those things that I do are super rich here in Japan and up here in this area so I'm happy and most who don't live in their house or dorm are as well.

E Double and Russ left my heart has not stopped crying yet... :/

You talking about renting or buying/building a house? Rent, not sure if they're pulling the same racket in mainland as they do in Oki. Housing offices in Oki knows what your max BAH rate is for your rank, so they'll always hit you up with the max they can milk out of you. It wasnt uncommon for them to charge $5k for a house because they know you're an O-x or GS-1x and higher.

housing ranges from 40,000 to 200,000yen a month my house is 40,000yen hahah and its great for me.. garage. Its cheap because its at the end of the runway. As a military member you will be forces to pay between 120,000 and 200,000 for your house.

You should be getting your E4 way before that. Hopfully. I came as a E1 in March 2005 and was a E4 by Feb 07 in Iraq. I was in the Army, may be a little different.

Yup, harder to make rank on the AF side. Its almost unheard of somebody putting having E-5 on by the time you hit your 4 yrs.

If you go to Kadena, the curfew is the least of your worry. Kiss holidays good-bye and you'll absolutely hate Christmas. Imagine a shop of 40 people trying to handle mail for roughly 100k military personnel, families and contractors...

IIRC, you can bring anything 74 and older on the military's dime. Anything newer, they almost always dont allow it. I say almost always because I've seen a handful who managed to bring their newer car to Japan, on the military's dime, they just jumped thru hoops to do so.

Personally, if you're in the states, find a 240Z or a muscle car, japanese folks would buy it.

Yea when time allows Id like to come visit Oki. I know a handful of people there, mainland is where ill forever be. I actually turned down Hawaii to get orders to Japan back in 2008. I just had no desire to go to a small island.

Question though, for those who have been both places.. how do the woman compare or should I say... how are Okinawan woman in comparison to Japanese woman?
