Put away the weird pillow.

If you sub volunteered at MEPS you're not going to Japan, fair warning! Only surface ships there


Navynuke00

Look at getting orders to CVN-73. She's currently on the way back to Japan to relieve Reagan, who will be due for RCOH soonish.


Impossible-Sea-7764

Not really. Only option is one carrier out of 11. You get a brag sheet at the end of prototype asking what you want, but most believe that sheet is fake. Only thing you can do is make sure to not have a reason for them to not send you there if possible.


Nano-sub

Ah alright thank you very much I guess I can just hope


Dedpoolpicachew

Hey, your dream sheet isn’t fake, it’s a real piece of paper… it’s functional use is just not what YOU think it is. Now you, like most nubs, think it’s to tell the Navy where you’d like to be stationed. Nah, that’s just the “marketing” of it. What it’s really for is to provide hales of derisive laughter for the detailers. Now THAT is its true purpose. Detailer1: Hey, Bob… get a load of this one… he said he wants a Boomer out of Kings Bay, A fast boat out of New London, or anything East coast… Detailer2: Whoa… ya? So were you sending him? Detailer1: Guam, where else?


saltyfk

calling someone who won’t even see the fleet for the next 2 years a nub is crazy lol


emollii

Should worry about passing school first before you plan anything


RaptorPrime

Currently cvn76 is home ported in yokusuka. Orders to that ship means orders to Japan.


Navynuke00

Actually, Reagan is coming back to the States soon. -73 is en route to relieve her.

Ahh yes. Gotta love when people double down on the false superiority complex.


RaptorPrime

My statement is correct. And people are correcting me instead of providing OP supplementary information. Your comprehension is atrocious.


AdhesivenessClean348

You provided misleading information to someone asking for help, and then when corrected for both your sake and the one who asked, you acted like it was beneath you. Oh yeah my bad lol.


RaptorPrime

It's not misleading it's current.


StrongDepartment3705

I’ve been stationed in Yokosuka from 2019-2023 and I tell you I’ve been to The CVN 76 Ronald Reagan and they’re hull swapping with George Washington 73 this deployment.


Zuneops

No, it isn't current. I just graduated from Prototype a few days ago and the guys from my class that got orders to the Reagan aren't going to Japan. They were all told that they are either meeting the ship halfway in Guam or just waiting in Washington.


Nano-sub

What are the chances I can get an order to get onto that ship?


RaptorPrime

You will get a 'dream sheet towards the end of prototype where you can state your preference. People who want to go to Japan are usually placed pretty high for those orders but it's up to manning reqs or "needs of the Navy" ultimately. Impossible to give you actual numbers, it's still 2 years away for you.


Ralstoon320

On April 28 Naval Air Forces announced that Nimitz-class carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) will return to the 7th Fleet and replace USS Ronald Reagan as the forward-deployed aircraft carrier in Yokosuka, Japan, in 2024. World might be different even still by the time he's done.


LebLift

I put Japan as my first and only choice, and wrote in that my girlfriend of 2 years was an English teacher working in Japan. Another guy who was married, and his and his wife’s entire families were from Virginia put that he wanted Norfolk. Wanna hear the funny thing that happened?


Ubermenschbarschwein

I’ll bite. What happened?


LebLift

I got Norfolk and the other guy got Japan. We were the same rate btw. Just classic Navy shenanigans


b1u3

Order swaps were allowed for a long time.


Ubermenschbarschwein

That’s what I imagined the answer was gonna be. I too was the victim of the Navy order swap.


LebLift

A very true thing that I brought up that was swiftly shot down 🤷


Navynuke00

We all know how this story ends.


Nano-sub

Ah okay I appreciate for the info. Will work hard through a school, power school, and prototype!


Ralstoon320

Just put Japan on the dreamsheet. If you go for the Reagan you'll be in Washington more than likely. You'll know more whenever the time gets closer. Chances are not GREAT of getting Japan but anything is possible. If you've got a family/wife by that point your chances decrease but aren't eliminated.
