There are Excursions, Tacomas, Tahoes, Expeditions, and all the other big American vehicles all over this base now. I'm assuming most live on base but there is an Expedition across the street from my house off base. It all depends on where you plan on living and the condition of the roads on your way to work. If you can't get rid of your current vehicles at a good price, bring them but buy a vehicle off the lemon lot when you get here to travel around in. Like M2 said, I have driven on some pretty crazy roads in my british honda accord and can't imagine trying to squeeze some big American gas hogs on them, but, if you know where those roads are they are easily avoidable.

USAA insures with no increase that I have noticed at least. I drive a 06 jetta over here and I have no problems with it. Just takes a bit more effort to make sure the coast is clear at a roundabout.

You're more than likely going to go on the civi rotator piece of junk out of Seattle or they will just send you commercial. If you are going on the rotator make sure you tell everyone and their Mom that you have pets. There are very few slots allotted for animals on each flight and they fill up fast. TMO should be able to brief you on everything. If you have any more questions, just ask. I just came from Kadena and left with my animals.

Navy cruiser missile is going to have a go at her.

Normal leave paperwork will get 3 family members past security with you.

should have mentioned that I am a tech sgt. Basically what I'm looking for is someone who knows someone that is actually doing it right now so I can get current info like you said. thanks.

Anyone know somebody who has done this? I'm really leaning towards trying to get one of these slots when i'm done with my tour here in England. Wife will have to get citizenship but that's just a trip to the states and back. I'll also be in for a long bit of training (up to 1 year depending on language). The job really sounds interesting and definitely very few do it. Anybody have any info. I have already emailed the Europe Defense Attache program dude and he has gotten back to me but it was pretty much a canned answer to some of my questions.

Had an Army fella get a DUI at Tori Station while I was at Kadena. They had his story on the front page of all the base papers that week. It goes as follows. Individual is getting sloshed at home prior to going out to gate 2. Individual wants to know if he is still legal to drive so he calls the Tori Station gate and asks for them to send someone out to do a breathalyzer. They tell him no, thats not our job and if he had anything to drink, not to drive. He doesn't settle for that, he drives to the gate and parks a half block away. Walks up to the gate and asks for a Breathalyzer. They say no and ask if he was the guy who called in earlier. He says yes. They ask how he got here. He replies with "I drove idiot, my car is right down the street". They give his a test and place him under arrest after he blew a .11. Limit on Oki at the time was .05. Doom on him.
