On-Post 12 Months Published Aug. 8, 2017 If there was no Military Family Housing available when you arrived to Okinawa, you can seek to move on-post after 12 Months in community housing. To do so, ask to remain on the Waiting List in the "Lease Bypass" category. Once 12 months has passed, when a home becomes available in your grade (rank) and entitlement (bedrooms), you will be contacted. If you decline the family housing unit, you are removed from the wait list. This is considered beneficial to the U.S. Government and the cost of relocation is funded.
