I'm here, Drew.
What you are talking about is an extension. That can be asked for at any duty station. If the sailor wants to complete their sea or shore duty rotation at the same command, they may request another year. If the command needs them, and if their rotation and enlistment allows, it may be granted. It is not just for Japan and it is not guaranteed. It does save the Navy money if they don't move them around.
My husband extended several of his tours, one of them in Japan. I extended there too, but before I married him.

The agency in charge of deleting members has been asked to stop for now, and they have as far as we can tell. We don't know why active members have been deleted, and there have been several. We have already complained. :)
Please check your "My Page" and see if there is activity showing. Even post a comment to yourself on your "My Page" that you are still active. Don't know if that will help, but if your "My Page" looks inactive that might be the issue.
