Navy -- Getting married after 'A' school and fiance wants to move to Japan will I be able to go with him

Navy -- Getting married after 'A' school and fiance wants to move to Japan will I be able to go with him???
My fiance is in bootcamp right now for the Navy. and he will be going to A school right after. He is a Machinist Mate (MM). He wants to pick Japan for his first choice. We are planning to get married after he gets out of A school during the time he gets off before he goes to the next duty station (14-21 days). Assuming that he gets stationed in Japan and we get married during his vacation time... will I be able to move there with him?? Or since we are getting married after he is done with A school, will the papers not show our marriage yet???

I wouldn't plan on it. Most likely you two will end up stationed in the gulf somewhere.

Perhaps this question is better to ask the U.S. Navy Dept.

Being former Air Force (and married during tech school), I can tell you this much: If he already has orders that have him set as single, then by getting married while he is on leave and in between duty stations could change his orders for the PCS (permament change of station). If his orders state that he is single (which he would be at the time of issue) then only he would be allowed, and paid, to travel to Japan under the military's dime. If you were to get married and turn in your paperwork as soon as possible (next business day), he would still be required to PCS to his new station. You would not be able to travel with him (unless you paid for the move yourself). You would have to wait for orders to be cut for you so that the military can pay for your moving expenses. Then again, you could risk him losing his orders for Japan all together. They may be orders that are set aside strictly for someone who is single and there are no accomodations for a family. Or like in the Air Force, it could be an unacompanied tour where he can't bring his family at all, so you would be stuck alone anyways. There are many factors when it comes to getting orders and you can never tell what will happen. When I got married in tech school, to another student, he had just recieved his PCS orders (for Japan actually). We filed for a joint spouse assignment as soon as we had gotten married. Several weeks later, we both recieved our orders...to a base stateside. So, you never can tell what the military has planned. Good luck.

it all depends on his time he will be there and the assignment. sometimes they do only sent them alone and un accompanied. He really needs to ask the navy.
5 :
Don't plan on Japan...very RARELY do first timers out get their first choice...He will be lucky to get his last choice...and it will depend on whether his assignment is accompanied or not as to whether you will be able to go...it will have nothing to do with the marriage papers.
6 :

April, if your worried whether you can go with your boyfriend to Japan, no need because you will become his dependant, the two of you will get married before he goes overseas, it might not shows on his orders but if he file your marriage to him,the navy will arrange all the necessary papers and you my dear will be joining him. Just tell him that as soon or before the two of you get married go to disbursing office of the navy and put getting married or just got married and from there, you will become his dependant. The navy will give him more pay,cause if your with him in Japan the two of you will live on government housing and yes there's this military ID. Don't waste no time for this,call your boyfriend so he can start the necessary papers before the two of you get married..........hope this help, ( I was a navy wife too)

US and Japan are invading China

US and Japan are invading China?
Japan's "Chinese Herald" reported that a Japanese Qingnian formed by the civil society, the streets in Tokyo recently to promote "Diaoyu Islands are China's territory." At 19:00 on October 27, in Tokyo's Shinjuku Station East Exit, Japan "statements against racial discrimination would be" the six young people at street campaign to improve hand-sound speakers preach their views, and distributing leaflets. The main content of their propaganda: Japan's high school system should not exclude free Korean schools in Japan was originally disputed the Chinese territory Diaoyu Islands. In their view, although the Japanese Ministry of the "expert meeting" has been found to meet the Korean school system in terms of high school for free, but some in Japan to the Japanese abduction issue is not resolved as an excuse to review on Korean schools, which in itself is the "violation of human rights." On the Diaoyu Islands issue, they are questions and answers in the form of leaflets recorded their views. Leaflets following major elements: Q, I heard the Senkaku Islands (Diaoyu Islands) are Japan's territory to carry out aggression against China, TV's "World Theatre" This said, it is not very trouble? A, no! Japan's aggression. Seems to be about 150 years ago, the Japanese invaded China and captured the Diaoyu Islands. Europe's own past casually formulated the "world rules" (international law), the Japanese Foreign Ministry said Japan is done in accordance with this rule. That follow such a rule, the European to win the aborigines of the land, this is shocking. And in the Diaoyu Islands issue, Japan has not actually done in accordance with this rule, but to use the occasion of the confusion Sino quietly seized (that is not declared that he would into Japanese territory, but in secret.) Would like to study this issue, see "statements against racial discrimination would be" pages. (They all read the famous Japanese historian INOUE work on the Diaoyu Islands, which is quite resonant.) Q, is it? But this is the word of the past, is now in the 21st century, if not territorial disputes, how to determine the Chinese fishing Okinawa problem? A, no! Japan Coast Guard ship (armed ships) are now offshore activities over the Diaoyu Islands, are continuing the aggression and domination, should the Diaoyu Islands as the South Pole, as do not belong to any country as a "total of the island," the wise scholars think so. But this Japanese government must admit its mistakes, apologize, saying that "aggression against us, sorry," and withdrew to the Coast Guard ship, or else someone else is difficult to understand. Their leaflet also says: against the Diaoyu Islands issue in Japan due to racial discrimination because the tendency. October 16, Tokyo, Roppongi with 2,000 people attended an anti-China demonstrations. When the procession came near Roppongi station, "remarks against racial discrimination would be" in the Constitution and the Kashiwazaki are often wild male Jiro, took the words "to the end of colonialism, say no to racial discrimination, discrimination against racial remarks will be" the yellow banner and ran into the procession to protest against the Chinese people that they, the team suddenly chaos, protesters, police and two protesters were twisted into a ball. Masanori Kashiwazaki and often persist in wild male Jiro procession, the sit-in protest. They called out "against the harassment of Chinese schools", the police immediately opened them, carried away, they are still shouting slogans, the police dragged them a small alley, a small alley sun flag in hand gathered to participate in the procession of people, shouting slogans at them. October 27, Masanori Kashiwazaki and often wild male Jiro also participated in the street campaign, their promotional activities carried out from 7pm to 8:45 or so.

Not 100% of them. But yes, most of them do.

Many do, even undergraduate schools have them (although the one at my university was kind of small and uneventful).
4 :
yes most of them do and they also have sports festivals that the students put together on their own so the dont have any classes other than to work on the festival projects. but with all teh festivals it also explains why they have a longer school days in comparison to other countries.
5 :

Almost yes, but my high school doesn't have a cultural festival. So, there are some schools don't have a cultural festival. And I haven't hear that elementary schools do that. Junior high and high schools almost do that, but not all.

How are Japanese teachers different from American teachers

How are Japanese teachers different from American teachers?
I've never been to school in Japan, so I don't know what the teachers are like. Do they tend to be strict or easy going? Oh and how are Japanese schools different from American schools? Did you enjoy school in Japan? ***READ*** how are the students different, then?

The teachers are the same....it is the kids that are different. In most countries the children go to school to learn with the support of the family. When the kids all want to learn it makes school a wonderful experience.
2 :
It's not a matter of just teacher or student. We have to talk about school as a whole if you want to know about it. In Japanese society, school or office, everyone is required to do the same thing with others and do not appreciate "sticking out". One big difference is seen when teachers ask its students to raise their hands in a classroom. In US, many students try to raise their hands, right? But in Japan, many people do not want to raise their hands. So this is the big difference. Also, many Japanese schools have uniforms and strict rules to regulate students' fashion and even hairstyle. Oh, BTW, if you ask me if I enjoyed Japanese schools, my answer is NOT AT ALL.
3 :
Can you generalize American teachers all together? I don't think so. Japanese teachers are the same. Some are very aggressive, strict, intellectual, kind, humoristic, cool, popular, cheerful, active and/or honest. Some are not. Japanese school system itself varies by individual and between private and public either difficult to compare with American ones but no particularly difference from USA except guns and drugs. One thing for sure is that the school lockers is much smaller than American ones. In addition usually pupils use their own school shoes during in the school. School lunch upto Junior High is often prepared one daily set menu for everybody without choice. Oh, biggest different thing left is that almost of all students are Japanese in Japan.
4 :
I see many people eat and drink stuff in my college during the lecture.this is something that does not happen in japan. I have no idea as to why they dont consider that picking up strawberrys and french fries is rude while the teacher is giving you the lecture.
5 :
In Japanese schools, the teachers move from class to class instead of the students.
6 :
Japanese students don't ask teachers questions very much. That is a big difference, I guess. But this is a consequence of having been controlled too much by teachers and parents. I think teachers should encourage students to think, not just to memorize.
7 :

The experience in attending k-12 in Japan is different from American. Expectations in class and the people around you are different. As one poster said "try not to stick out". Is an appropriate description of what the experience is like Japanese schools. If you are overly stupid or smart, extremes of the spectrum means you stick out. You must raise your hand and be able to study quietly in Japan. American schools tend to be more discussion oriented and want their student to be outspoken and ask questions. It's just the style.(I'm more American at heart, so American style suites me best). One thing that is notably bad in Japanese schools is the bullying. There is bullying in America, but not quite to the extent Japanese schools have been known to have. This is not everyone's experience, but it's something you should know about. COLLEGE: is a totally different case. In American schools: "we work hard but we play hard" is the general tone. Of course we have slackers and social hermits, but on a whole there is usually a balance. Our teachers,are generally again...more easy going and discussion based. If you talk to them they might be liable to bend the rules for you(like a late paper). However, the expectation of quality of work is much higher in America I think. This varies from teacher to teacher of course...But on a whole this is what you can expect from a "good" professor. In Japanese schools: It's play time! They've worked really hard throughout k-12, go to juku(afterschool cram school) so that they can get into a good school. Now, they join circles and clubs and DRINK DRINK DRINK. I went to Sophia University, which is a pretty well known school in Japan...it's like a Stanford image equivalent. Of course, I was on the foreigners department, but when i joined circles...it's seem to show that this heavy drinking and playing was a schoolwide consensus. University is not taken as seriously in Japan, grades don't matter...it's just the title that you gain from going to the school. I prefer American Universities, I felt that it was better at teaching me what I needed to learn in my degree. I enjoyed school in Japan from the experience that I gained outside of my academic life, and I still recommend it..if you are considering it. But if you want to work in America, stick with an American degree. Hope I answered your question. Here is a blog post about my overall university experience in Japan.

Based on likes of an exchange student from Japan He seemed enthralled with muffins of all types and cheesecakes also items flavored with maple syrup
5 :

Meatloaf, tuna casserole or other types of casseroles, nachos, chili, etc.. Of course, you should probably take into consideration the fact that most Japanese folks don't have a big oven like Americans do, so it can limit the recipes you'd like to make; just ask your pen pal first if they have a big oven or just a smaller microwave one.

ciee.org is awesome, in my opinion. they have study abroad in japan for high school students too. students are typically placed in suburban locations, but it's a more realistic representation of life in japan. if you're there for a semester, it's much more than a vacation. while you're there, you can always visit the big city on weekends. or you could even be placed in a big city from the beginning. :)
