No, the National Guard is not in Japan...Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 27 at 2017 3:25 PM2017-12-27T15:25:13-05:002017-12-27T15:25:13-05:00SFC J Fullerton3204248<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If are active duty, and your MOS has vacancies for an assignment in Japan, and the assignment is available to you as a re-enlistment option, then yes. Your college major has nothing to do with it though. See your Retention NCO.Response by SFC J Fullerton made Dec 27 at 2017 3:33 PM2017-12-27T15:33:21-05:002017-12-27T15:33:21-05:00Sgt Private RallyPoint Member3204257<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It would probably depend on your MOS and whether or not the Army wants to spend the money to PCS you over there. I don't know what you call them in the Army, but I would suggest you talk to your monitor or have your career planner talk to him or her for you.Response by Sgt Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 27 at 2017 3:36 PM2017-12-27T15:36:12-05:002017-12-27T15:36:12-05:00MSgt James Crosbie3204318<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>That is an Option 4 OCONUS reenlistment option.<br /> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.armyreenlistment.com/option4.html">http://www.armyreenlistment.com/option4.html</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">

You can take leave and jump on an hour long flight to Japan. I'm not too sure about PCSing to Japan. I've never met a soldier who got stationed there. I know that it's not uncommon for Marines to get Japan.Response by SGT Tony Clifford made Dec 27 at 2017 4:43 PM2017-12-27T16:43:11-05:002017-12-27T16:43:11-05:00SSG David Reiter3204839<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Depends on your MOS. I know there is a Signal Battalion there. If your admin, Military Intelligence, or a computer tech, then you can get there, but ensure you talk to your reenlistment NCO.Response by SSG David Reiter made Dec 27 at 2017 8:06 PM2017-12-27T20:06:38-05:002017-12-27T20:06:38-05:002017-12-27T14:13:42-05:00
