I'm look for some helpful insight, mainly for anyone in the service who is stationed on the mainland. I'm leaning towards requesting orders to yokosuka, or anything close to toyko as i can get. I'm trying to do as much research as i can right now because i leave for iraq again in a couple months, and the time for me to put in for my orders is while i'm deployed so i'd like to make sure i know as much as i can about my decsion before i make it. I'll end up being there for aprox 2 years. I really want to live in toyko tho, so i'm wondering how long and if theres a train even that runs to yokosuka so i wouldnt have to drive. I'm not to worried about the cash, i've checked into the allowances that i'll be getting so that shouldnt be a problem. Its time for me to enjoy my last years in the military and i really want to take in all of japan. I'll save the good majority of my questions for some one to respond so i can just PM them and not flood the forum. Thanks for any input.

 

Navy right?
You could even put in for up here in Misawa. It's not bad up here.

 

yup i am, ya i'm talking to my career counciler tomorrow cause some one had brought up embassy duty to me since i wanted to be in tokyo. so hopefully he can hook something up.
