CTmomof3 - To me, it sounds like you have old news. Okinawa is no longer a weight-restricted area.  However, maybe the tsunami made them put it back into place.  You really need to check on that.

See the bottom of page 3 here.

The weight I wouldn't worry too much about. You probably never seperated his professional items from his actual HHG.  All professional items don't get counted towards the weight limit.  The above link will show you all the professional items you can deduct.  It's quite a bit.  

The express shipment shouldn't count against him, An unaccompanied baggage shipment is authorized not to exceed 600 pounds for activeduty member and 200 pounds each family member. Weight is not counted against the administrative weight restriction.

3. Navy personnel:

a. Okinawa, JA: 25 percent of full JFTR weight allowance or 2,500 pounds, whichever is greater. NOTE: A weight restriction will not apply unless it appears in the member's orders. Refer to NAVSUP Pub 490 fordetailed guidance.

Okinawa) - 75 percent of full JFTR/JTR weight allowance for inbound shipments.(1) A weight restriction will not apply unless it appears in the members rotation from Japan.(2) Members will be entitled to full weight allowance upon rotation from Japan.

Lastly, if he is over the weight limit, he can request a waiver.  I had to do that when I transferred from Georgia from Scotland.  It's almost always rubber stamped.  The bottom line is to declare the professional items at the end, and you should be under the limit (if they still have a weight restriction in place).

salpetty - Beleive me, I have a "I hate Craig" fan club.  Just within the last two days, I've had two things happen.  

1. Being called an @sshole.  But it's a joint title that I get to share with Lady Hamilton (who's part of our group here), who is a b*tch.  LadyH and I need to have a run off to see who is the winner....   

Craig being called an @sshole

2.  Being labeled with the title of "lack of taste, disrespect and common decency"

Craig Lack of taste

Not to mention that I'm banned from the Pensacola group because I called them out for posting wrong information.  But yet again, I took down one of our own members here... she was banned with me.  I'm not going to mention her name...Oh heck, yea I will...clockard....  Just saying....

See, I'm actually bad luck to you guys... but remember, I'm a lover and not a fighter....-ha

Man, I wonder who else was banned.  That is too funny!  

So just to clarify, you joined this group (ie the Cryptology) and you questioned a post over there and they banned you?  

This could actually work really well for us.  Much like bikers wearing leather jackers and chaff's, being CT people, we should show our colors too!  I think since our sailors are computer nerd people we should show our support.  The guys need to wear leisure suits and the gals turtle neck sweaters and patten leather shoes.  Man we would be awesome!  We would be showing our true colors!  

Ok, lets all pick what clothing we will wear from this 1977 JC Penny's catalog...

I love this group as I get all kinds of info. All of you have been the best.

My son got his written orders finally today. Now he is finding out what he has to do come home for a bit before c school starts.

Son graduated on Friday and made it to Pensacola on Saturday!  He lost 20 lbs. while in BC, still has the Ricky Crud and has athlete's foot but he says he's excited to start his next chapter.

I haven't been banned yet by the other group (probably tempting fate by just saying it on here) but can tell you that I find more useful information from the people over here!

Salpetty - it was nice to meet you at the airport seeing our kids off on Saturday - way to early but definitely worth every minute.

Deborah  Welcome and tell us what flavor CT your son is.   Also tell him how proud we are!   My son is a CTR  stationed in Ft Meade MD   awaiting his polygraph on Thursday and then the real fun begins

Hi Guys,

My son is in his A school for CTT until mid November and than will start C school after that.  He likes Corry Station better than NAS.  Much more relaxed and so far said it has been easy.

Wow - what a nice welcome you guys give!!

Salpetty - Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to talk to my son since he arrived.  We got home late yesterday afternoon and he left a msg on our answering machine but it cut him off.  He doesn't have a cell phone yet cause he let his expire here since he wanted to get a new one. I bet they'll be in the same classes too.

So, do CTT's actually go directly to Corry?  I thought I read somewhere that they might start out at NAS to do INDOC and ATT class and then end up at Corry. 

I have learned so much on this site and it is the best!  My sailor's last day of C school is Friday- then he gets to come home for leave for some days before reporting to San Diego on 18th October.  I don't think i can leave this group and will stay connected if only just to keep in touch with all you guys-

Don't know what type of bachelor housing he will get at Navy Base SD,. so he says Navy will move his stuff after he knows if he has room enough for his big big chair....  Not sure he can delay the move or if things have to go during this time- seems to give me different answers all the time.  Anyway- welcome newbies- the knowledge you will gain on this site is awesome-

My sailor third from left- on graduation from A school- he carried the American flag for that ceremony that day. :)

Can you believe after all this time I finally figured out how to download pictures! GEEZ 

My Sailor - 2nd from right in the back- with the glasses.

hello everyone.  kinda new to this site.  been quite awhile since i have been able to get online! seems like forever when i was on boot camp site everyday!

my daughter just graduated for CTR & received her new orders.  she gets to come home next week for 5 days, then is driving her car to her new station.  visited her during labor day weekend, but will be so happy to have her home for a few days!

Craig thanks, My son plans on using this. He can use it between a and c school? Or does it have to between c school and duty station?

No problem.  Man it just tickes me off when I do that....  I will repost it after I write it up again...

Craig- My sailor is doing RAP - coming home to Denver and doing RAP at the recruiters office where he initially joined. I am so excited as he comes home Oct 3rd!

Looking at San Diego and finding all sorts of neat reasons to rejoice over this location for his first tour. So excited and can't wait to drive the car out there for him later.

Anywhere in Big Bear area is good.  Snow Valley, Bear Mountain, Snow Summit are tops. 

I grew up in Santa Ana :)

NavyMom4J - Are you going to the packing party?
