Opening ceremonies happen every 4 years, and Japan isn't going anywhere. Focus on what's important now, and look forward to better opportunities. We even have squadrons that live in Japan, so there's that.

Dude will be lucky to have started primary by then.
You could be a stash during that time, or on an extended med down for something you never anticipated (because one does not anticipate such things). You never know. But I'm w/ @robav8r here. However, consider making a career investment rather than a financial one. Here's how you do it: Buy the tickets (which are the long pole in the tent of "getting there," I'm guessing). When it's time to sell (which you most likely will), find a future IP with orders to your squadron from Japan. Give them a real bargain, or just sell at face value. Timing is everything, of course, but so it is for you getting to your little Opening Ceremony.
About the author: Set a date for wedding in late May around the same time I started at HT-18 in September (2008). Was told I might get 3 days if I asked nicely. Come April I either volunteered for flights or duty as desired to adjust my graduation date. Stars and weather gods aligned and I proceeded to line things up just barely well enough to keep me terrified while still working it out. 1. Winging on Friday. 2. Fiance's med school graduation 8 days later. 3. Wedding 7 days later. 4. 5-day honeymoon. 4. SERE 9 days post-wedding ?.

Nine days...wow, that's easy. My SERE experience has been on-going since I got married some 30 years ago!
That’s the Advanced SERE course...Nine days...wow, that's easy. My SERE experience has been on-going since I got married some 30 years ago!
Wow, my indoctrination was extremely effective...Nine days...wow, that's easy. My SERE experience has been on-going since I got married some 30 years ago!
Oh man... Off by 7-8 months... "If I knew then what I know now"
I think if you ask anyone on here 95% of them will say their time stashed in Pcola was one of the best parts of their careers. Enjoy it while you can.
It’s like when you’re 5 and you hate taking naps but when you grow up all you want is to go back to an age where it’s acceptable to take naps...

I just woke up from a nap about five minutes ago.
Just do all the leg work for it to be in Tokyo... and then actually be in Tokyo. I was assigned PIO for someone that went OCONUS without approval, lied about it, and it was the biggest shit show of my career. The CNO got involved and they got kicked out in the hardest way available.
The 4 months between OCS and API was the closest I ever came to becoming a professional golfer. I honed my game well enough to shoot 75 at the Moors in Pace, FL which got me feeling confident enough to venture over to Magnolia in Mobile, AL (Robert Trent Jones course and site of an LPGA event) where I proceeded to lose at least a dozen balls and shot over 100.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

It's actually called "The Moops." But thanks for trying.
