Question about going overseas
We just got orders to Japan and I am not getting much information about overseas screening. My husband already had his overseas screening done at the A School, and I was wonder if Me or my daughter have to go through any type of screening as well? (a physical? exam? or Shots?) Someone from my husbands A school emailed me 1 form to get certified by a physician for me and my daughter to join my husband overseas.... and that is all. And the instructions given were minimal. Does anyone know about this process?

Which base in Japan? I can look up their links if I know.
There's a lot more to overseas screening than just a physical! Are you near a base at all? Any branch? I know the instruction I posted the link too is very confusing, but there's a phone number at the very bottom where you can call and ask them what you should do.

Okinawa(Kadena AFB) and yes Im near NAS JAX. Branch-Navy. And i was also told that we can get passports through the PSD on base in JAX. I already had the photos taken for me and daughter. Thanks for the link. When I ask these question at NAS, they have no one to answer them for me :/ Its a mess.

Someone is messing up, they should do many of these. Start with medical, that's the big one.

Overseas & Sea Duty Screening: BHC Jax: (904) 546-7052
If that's not the right number:

If PSD isn't being helpful about passports, just go get a civilian one. Out of pocket, but may be worth it.

You do have to get overseas screenings, and will probably need to get Japanese Encepalitis (sorry about the spelling) shots. We did when we went (just moved back from Japan). Ironically, my Sailor husband did not have to get it (has never had that shot). To go to some parts if Japan and other places in Asia, it's required by the military for AD and dependents (I believe Okinawa is one of them). Other places, it isn't. It wasn't required for Misawa, but the clinic that did our screening said that to be safe they required everyone going to Japan and screened through them to get it. No shots, no approval.... (my husband was screened on his ship by their medical...). It's a 3 shot series, so even if you are still waiting on your appointment to be seen by the Dr, you can still go into the shot clinic and show them your orders and ask them what shays you need, so you can get them started. (I don't know if your little one will need them, our kids were teens when they got the shots.)
