change in the near future.

3.  To encourage and reward Sailors that volunteer to extend their sea duty 
(Type 4) tours to 48 months in Japan, Guam and Spain, the following 
incentives are offered:
    a.  Waiver of remaining Prescribed Sea Tour (PST).  Members currently

by 12 months or more will be given preferential Career Management

based on community priorities. If multiple preferential applications are made 
for the same advertised billet, the best qualified member will be selected.
    c.  Overseas Tour Extension Incentives Program (OTEIP).  OTEIP detailed 
in reference (f), remains an option for Sailors on sea duty (Type 4) in 
Japan, Guam and Spain when they extend their tours by at least 12 months.

Hello,

My son-in-law is in A school and received notice of his first assignment to Atsugi Japan NAS.  His instructor told him most likely his wife would not be able to accompany him until he reached the rank of E-4.  If I'm reading the information above correctly that is not a true statement.  He is stressing significantly as can be expected.  He has a new wife, newly joined the Navy and now is told he will be separated from his wife for 3+ years.  Is this true?  Thanks in advance.
