We were informed by our TMO office at our loosing base that we should still bring limited items as they would be provided still when we arrived in okinawa and space here was limited. WELL...not true!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you are authorized to bring your full household goods then you better bring your furniture! They will only loan you furniture for 90 days and then they take the loaner furniture back. We ended up having to purchase bedroom furniture and other items, when we have perfectly acceptable stuff in storage in the states. However, once it is in storage you can only get it released from storage if you take the entire shipment. Make sure you bring bedroom furniture, living room furniture and anything else you need to make your stay comfortable or you will have to purchase furniture as well once you arive. It was a very costly miscomunication and the tmo office/housing office here was unwilling to bend on their rules to help accomidate us. I hope this posting helps some of you from having the same thing happen. Several families that came here the same time as us from differnet bases were misinformed as well and also had to purchase furniture.
