Im PCS'ing to Okinawa Japan?

Question:


Hey. im pcs'ing over to okinawa japan with my wife three kids and three dogs, dogs and us have had all shots and we are ready to leave end of april, however, i need to know furniture wise what we need to bring! i also need to know if i need to bring any records on the plane with us etc. what do they do with the dogs?

Answer:


Bring what you want just be reasonable. Housing is not as luxurious here as in the states. The Kadena homepage has a housing link for you to see what type of house you are eligible for and the floor plans, but they only allow two pets in military housing so you might have to move off base. Your OHA will probably be around 2k (not sure with three kids), although that sounds like a lot, it really isn't here. There is a website called totalokinawa that has some housing companies and it will sort of give you an idea of off base housing size/prices. I flew AMC so it really wasn't a hassle but if you are flying commercial there might be a lot more paperwork needed. We really only needed orders, pet paperwork, IDs, ticket info.
