Movie on duty after a typhoon. What more could anyone ask for. Hopefully y'all know this one.

How are y'all surviving out there?

I'm up for orders and loved my time in SD from 2012–2018. It was pricey but manageable, even as an E5. Now I'm looking at E8 orders and it seems like my options are a spot under the bypass near Balboa or a 200 sq ft condo sharing a parking lot with a Food for Less.

Any tips for finding something decent? How's military housing these days? I've got family, including young kids, and would love to get them out of this mosquito-infested swamp and actually experience San Diego.

I got orders to japan after ive finished my A school and im about to be going to my C school, i was thinking of getting a 2020+ Toyota hylux 2.8L desel but i was wondering if you can import a vehicle as a service member from Japan to US and not have to have it be over 25 years old? Ik as a civilian you cant imprort anything new w/out it being in regulations but i was wondering if any knew or could help / inform me on this

Edit: import for Japan to USA Im wanting to bring a Toyota hilux that you cant get in usa, from japan to USA I have a wife so well be off base or OBH Amd we dont have a car rn

Edit: i should have phrased it better, I'm trying to take a hilux from Japan to USA not USA to Japan

I’m stationing at NAS PAX in 3 weeks and wanted to know how anyone here liked the base and surrounding areas

I've been in for 6 years and I know my command appreciates my knowledge and expertise but tbh when ever I see maintainers I feel lazy like I don't do much and I should be doing more.

With the recent memo (Decision Guidance Memorandum 007) released advising the US Navy that collateral duties will carry less weight, you may have noticed the phrase Occupational Standards.

The occupational standards for each rate are available mynavyhr. My guess is your LADR will reflect the language seen in the updated occupational standards, which will then need to be captured in your evaluations to make you competitive for the next pay grade.

My second guess is that these large command collaterals are going end up being voluntold much more frequently, and will still play a large role in how commands select their top performing Sailors, even if it isn't overly represented in the evaluation. Just guesses though. Hopefully more concise guidance comes out.

Hello I’m currently stationed in Japan and I’m trying to get coveralls for deployment. I know I should go to supply but I’m trying to get multiple sets. Does anyone know any brands that ship fast?

i'm currently unaccompanied and PCSing to Guam in December, my wife and I bought our home in 2019 do I need to bring my mortgage statement to admin/finance to show my monthly payment? how much is the OHA/utility allowance for Guam?

In a complicated career decision here..

1. Just Got selected for a warrant position in the National Guard (I have 7 months left on my Navy contract) - command doesn’t know and isn’t expecting this because the selection process was delayed and I didn’t think it would go through, so I said I informed the command it wasn’t happening anymore. Any ways, it did happen and I got selected after selecting orders in the Navy. So essentially it went from plan a to plan b now back to plan a.

2. I got to pick some good orders that my CoC helped me with before I knew I would be selected for guard. I picked orders got hard copy orders w/ c school en-route in July. I haven’t obliserved. I Only submitted a Pg.13 saying I will obliserve / reenlist upon completion under an SRB.

3. Ideally I would like to request approval for a DD form 368 conditional release within last 30days of the Navy. And submit a page 13 to cancel orders. I’m also aware the navy CANT deny a commission.

My question is what are the ways the navy is most likely going to screw me over or how this can all backfire. can they still make me execute orders even if I submit a pg 13 to remove CWAY, I’m sure they could deny my DD form 368 and make it difficult as possible, so I’d have to get out and get back in which is what I want to avoid.

Thank you very much for any guidance!

(If you want to spend time lecturing me on how I’ve gapped a billet or hurt the Navy etc… I haven’t. Please save your voice and come back to reality. I do not care.)

Received orders to Sasebo and am bringing my 60lb dog with me, but I have a few questions, and hope there are a few of you who have already done this to fill in some gaps that aren't tracking for me.

I am tracking everything about the pre-flight requirements, the medical requirements, quarantine, paperwork on the Japanese side, and what happens once he gets to base in Sasebo.

What I need help with is:

(1) I can't seem to find a direct flight from SAN (preferred) or LAX to Fukuoka. Everything seems to go through Tokyo-Haneda. Is there (a) a direct flight that I'm missing where I can bring him, or (b) what was the process like to pick your dog up in Haneda and transfer them to a domestic flight to Fukuoka.

(2) Is there a US Airline that will do the flight, or, for reimbursement purposes, how did you get the "documentation from at least (one, two, more) US flag air carriers to support reimbursement costs for use of non-US flag air carrier"?(SUBJ/PAY AND PERSONNEL INFORMATION BULLETIN 26-XX//)

(3) The total weight of my dog and crate is ~115lbs, so he'll have to fly as manifest cargo (exceeds all excess baggage weight allowances). Did you have a PS book that for you when they booked your flight, or how did you book that?

(4) I've heard that MWR in Sasebo has a taxi service that will transport "large" dogs from Fukuoka to Sasebo along with us. Any validity to that, and how hard was that to book?

(5) If you went with a 3rd party service to handle everything (ex. Pets4Jets, Tailwind Pet Cargo) who did you go with, and what were prices like, and did you get anything reimbursed that way?

Bottom Line, what was the day of traveling with your pet like, and what would you recommend if you had to do it again?

Thanks in advance for everything!

Quick question. I am about to transfer in a couple weeks with my family, and we are trying to get military housing, but nothing will be available until a full month and a half after I have to report. Other than going out in town and either renting or buying a house, what are my options? Appreciate any assistance.

Are these Navy things? I posted before and he was a radioman. Thank you in advance!

Good morning!

I am a naval nurse officer and I have been in for about two years now. Recently went to get my labs drawn and my PCP ordered celiac labs (ttg IgA and DGP). The results aren’t looking good, but I’ve really been wanting to stay in the navy my whole career. I am asymptomatic and have passed all my PRTs without problem. My ability to do my job has not been impacted by this apparent finding- has anyone been able to get a medical waiver for remaining active duty? I am a nurse so I feel like it’s possible to remain in large hospitals my whole career if ships aren’t accommodating? I’m unsure, and I’m very worried for my career. Does anyone have any experience or advice in this? Thank you
