Just joining this group - my son is stationed in Yokosuka for the next 3 years. He's been there since completing A school on July 28 (Pensacola). Was very happy to finally find a navy group for moms (my son is 24 so a tad independent).

Hello everyone! Wow so many people on here I don't know....sorry I've been slacking alot. To all you newbies this is a wonderful group these ladies are so helpful and full of info. I do hope all your sailors are enjoying Japan. Mine loved it. I think he's already missing it over there! He's currently and slowly making his way to his new home here in the states. Just got word they've pulled into a port in South America so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a phone call.
T-Lynn, as hard as it is for me to say (you know I'm a Cards fan) I congratulate the Cubs on their win...enjoy your Victory!!! Phew that was hard for me to say LOL!!!!
Take care everyone...I'll keep stalking you LOL once a 'pan mom always a 'pan mom! I love the pics!!!

Shelly, he will clear customs in Tokyo, so he will claim his bags to take them through customs. Then he will re-check on a domestic flight.
I been lurking lately, but reading every post. I met my sons mother-in-law and her sister from Sasebo two weeks ago. I will post a picture.

Good Morning ,
I don't see any resent activity but I hope someone can help.
My son's orders are for Sasebo. He leaves tonight and I have so many questions about his travel. His sponsor hasn't been the greatest communicator. He is uneasy exactly what to do once he arrives in Tokyo as far as his checked bags go. Airline itinerary has him connecting a flight to Fukuoka. Does anyone know if he has to claim his checked bags and then recheck them in Tokyo or will he be able to collect it once at his final destination?. I called the airline, and after checking she told me the only time he needs to retrieve his bags will be in Fukuoka but I have read elsewhere something entirely different. If anyone can please help me ease his mind with this , I would be very grateful. This is a hard enough transition and for him not to know exactly what to do makes me frustrated. .
