I’m an 11B38 with an opportunity to go to Camp Zama, Japan. Any info on what I would be doing there work wise would be greatly appreciated.

How did you get this opportunity? Words of wisdom, SSG?

I can't imagine... It's mostly signal and support people there, and a few remote dislocated units like CID or health services. Did you ask what unit it was?

You can find info on the USAG Japan Facebook page and USFJ website. It’s not far from Tokyo and has all the amenities of most overseas assignments. Camp Zama is growing like most garrisons in the Pacific. Regular Army units are all throughout Japan such as ADA, Logistics, Signal, MI, MP, SF, and medical. I think you should jump on the opportunity. If you’ve been to Korea it’s similar without all the restrictions.

Camp Zama has a great location on Honshu. Close to much of what you would want to see in Japan including My Fuji. Thoroughly enjoyed my time there

We just PCSd in (new ADA BDE stood up); facilities and services on post are great, family housing and elementary school are very good as well. You are in the greater-Tokyo metro area, so there are lots of off-duty things to do, plus you can (relatively) cheaply fly to China, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, or New Zealand. As far as your duties/work load, hopefully your sponsor can fill you in, but as far as a duty station goes, this place is very nice.
