I can go there for my Part 61 Privates License only Part 141 is strictly reserved for vets and active duty only. I'm still considering maybe going for my Part 61 Privates but I don't know if I should hold off and instead focus on going towards Part 141 since I plan on going for my Instrumental, Multi-engine IFR then Commercials
I think you misunderstood the message I tried to convey. I'm not telling you to Drive 1000 miles in any direction. All I was saying is to do some research in and around your installation because I know other places in Japan that have aero clubs and maybe they're might be one close by. As for whether you should wait because its part 61 or 141, get your PPL part 61. You can knock it out at your own pace and you will probably have it way before you return. It doesn't really matter at the beginning which you start training. If you intend to couple it with a degree, getting your instrument rating and Commercial single 141 would be the route to go.
