I don't think anyone is telling her she won't be able to buy one here but she will definitely get a better selection in the states.

I think your car would have to be 1976 or older. Then the salt in the air would do a number on the steel they used back then and really, you would be sitting on the wrong side of the road driving an American car over here. Why go through all the t...

If your car is over 30 years old I believe there are separate regulations for that and you may be able to bring it at gov't expense - but don't quote me on that b/c they didn't even tell me there was a before-you-move brief until after we were alr...

Jen Shue replied to Ingrid Timm's discussion 'Microwave'
I've always wondered why everyone on here seems to say to bring your own microwave. We didn't bring one and we had no trouble buying one after we got out of the West Pac and into housing. They do sell them here, it is not like you are going to the...

Microwave 4 Replies

I was just wondering if the kitchens have microwaves built in above the stove? Our's is pretty ginormous, so if we need to bring one, I might want to buy a more compact one :)

Should we bring a car? 4 Replies

I've heard from several people that you shouldn't bring your car(s) with you, that you can just buy a cheap one when you arrive. Can you get by without a car? Maybe just bikes? ... Thoughts on this...

OK. Life sucks and I don't even know if we're coming now.

I am so frustrated and at a loss for words.

We've been waiting for weeks for our orders. DH re enlisted so we'd have time to go to Oki and everything. Weeks we've been waiting. EFMP done. Everything in our humanly power we have done. Unless you know something we don't???

The orderly room says they have been asking the MOS clerk for over 3 weeks about our orders. So just so happens DH gets a hold of the MOS clerk to ask if there is something he missed, since the orderly room says they just dont… Continue

We're PCSing back to the states, just got here about 7 months ago !....anyone PCSing to Okinawa need a car?

Is there anyone out there wanting to maybe take over payments that's PCSing over here shortly??? We're getting our orders within the next few days if not today and we're due at our next base by middle of December. This is a great car, I know when we first got here it was very… Continue

They wouldn't let him extend until his student status was up...and now we have to wait until thurs before he can have his certificate...which Enlistment wants before they will let him do the paperwork.... Thats if… Continue

30 days until my PCS from Okinawa

So, here I am at the point I have read so much about.
I am about to leave this island. I have thought about this point in my life a lot; and .....I am happy.
I am happy to go to a place where I can settle down. This island is beautiful and I love it. I have been blessed to have spent three years here, but settling down sounds really good right now.
I could buy some houseplants and watch them grow. Remembering how said house plants grew just everywhere outside on Okinawa. I could buy a house and… Continue
