Its something to do with if you are still serving as military personel and youve been over there so long (he was in Germany for over 2 years.).. Something, something, whatever. I cant remember all the details.

The military will ship ONE vehicle for you, however I believe it depends on the location. For example Germany or the UK they will ship one there and also ship one back for you.
However if what AzCivic is saying is true, it makes sense. If the military won't ship a car TO Japan, they have no reason to ship one FROM Japan. The idea is that they'll ship your car there and then bring it back for you, but only 1 car. Of course you can ship a car there, buy a new car, and ship the new one back. Or you can go over without a car and ship a car back, but only if they allow shipping to/from that country.
Perhaps one of the military guys who's gone to Japan can confirm this?
I can't read Japanese so I can't verify that the sign is in Japanese, equally I can't see that the person is Japanese and not of descent from any other number of Asian countries, and the architecture....sheesh. I can't even see the characters from the picture....
