going to japan for sure...
 
I just got back from talking to the "career planner" and they offered me this:

1. I can go to Mainland Japan.
2. I can take my wife, and our little doggie.
3. I cant get a different job, but if I stay in the job I have right now, they will give me a $6900 sign on bonus (before taxes)
4. and I will probably be in a non-deployable unit meaning I would stay in Japan.


dam, i scored huge.

the only part I dont like, if I re-enlist, they could possibly send my back to Iraq now. :-\

Damn, I guess there is always a possibility they will not send you back. Still it looks like a good deal in the end, even if you have to wait another 7-10 months.

I would say, that the amount of money you could make being in mainland japan would be a good incentive.

SkunT 11-16-2004 12:37 PM

Re:going to japan for sure...
 
well...as far as waiting for orders, i have to submit my "package" to be considered and where they need me.(from either of my 3 choices)-all 3 of them being japan.

but im going....its just a matter of when :-\
im thinking around the march april time...

as far as hooking people up, you guys will be hooked up. dont worry. let my wife and I get over there, and get settled in, then you fuckers will get hooked up.

if any of you think you might want to take a little trip to japan, come visit me. ;D a trip from LAX is around $600 into Tokoyo. let my wife and i get settled in, then you can come over. ;)

My dad is an old Puerto Rican guy who kinda looks like Mr Amemiya but he doesn't own anything rx7 related worth stealing :P That would definately be a shop to visit, and steal from.

To think that this old guy pumps out the baddest RX7s in the world...

no, it takes about 9-14 days for shipments.
and i will still be able to mail through USPS and UPS

dont worry, i will figure all of this out. ;)

tommytoes 11-17-2004 09:02 AM

Re:going to japan for sure...
 
It cost alot if you try to go through say UPS but on the bases they have USPS post offices with fairly decent prices but delivery time can definately be a week and up depending on where in the US it's going and how many times a week the base sends out mail stateside.
