Yokosuka Naval Base

[smiles86]

3:06 Did anyone tell you about the curse of that tunnel? Apparently, if you go through there at midnight you won't come out. Haven't tried doing it before, and now I would can never know. Must be fake. :D

[smiles86]

1999-2004. Best years of my life.

[ht3oldnavy]

the tender brought back memories of when I went there on the USS Mckee as-41. Her one and only westpac. The haunch, the line of japanese girls just outside of the main gate next to the A club waiting for someone to escort them in for a night at the club, the mall a couple blocks away, the stores and shops, and my hangout the game room on the haunch.

[bisquitmimzy]

Dang, I should've joined the Navy and got myself stationed there! lol. Yokosuka looks a lot more crowded than the last time I was there. One thing's for sure, Kinnick looks a lot better when I was there. We had to graduate in the OLD building, haha. Oh, and we had to go to Thew gym for PE all the time. I remember I always had to 'power walk' back to my classes. Same 'ol Club A, commissary and navy exchange.. tee hee.

[zeyfany]

1993-95.. The best years of my life.. I miss you Yokosuka..

[bboydrewboy]

Ahhh shiieeeeet I miss home. Lived there from 83-97. It looks so much different now. Gotta go there in the summer and hit up green hill if it's still there. YokoLoco

[rsims2424]

I was stationed at the hospital and I had a ball; great times. I live on and off base and was a frequent visiter at Toyko....the best of times.

[valleycruiser]

Brings back A LOT of memories...stationed there in 1966 and 1967...at the communications center. Memories i'll treasure forever!! Thanks for the video!!

[AisforADORKABLE]

1999-2010 ; I miss Yokosuka sooo much :(

[notbestfriends]

I lived in Bayside Courts (Army), a short distance away. Used to go to the pool there and play the slots. That was 1968-69

[skinsandskulls]

I was trying to look this up on google earth and saw this instead.. Brings back memories Especially fleet theater movies coming out a year later Lol. I was on INDY CV 6 Deuce baby 95-99, decommissioned in Bremerton Washington, Navy Days Ahhh... Thnks

[vetdetta]

You got both schools but not Sullivans! I really wanted to see the school and how its changed. I used to hang out at the High school, for some reason I remember it being a brick red. My dad was Masterchief of the Mess Hall across the street from the High School. Stationed 86-89. Does the bunkers still exist in front of the waterfront? I used to play in that park next to the McDonalds.

[fiendga]

Thanks for the video bro!! My Dad was stationed there from 88-91. 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade for me!! lol great memories

[beadamson324]

Hi Keekei - Did you say your last name is Nichols? That sounds familiar to me too. My dad was stationed on the Midway I think '87-90, his last name was Sawyer and he was a RM too. I like this video, it brings back a lot of memories, but it also looks different. I went to Yo-Hi, and I remember the last year we were there we got moved to the new building they made.

[pespi01]

I was with Marine Security Forces 92=95. Loved it!

[jlsuzuki]

オス ブリ！

[keekei]

オス　ジョイ！

[SoozyQ333]

This is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing. My father was stationed here from 1972-76, and I attended Sullivans elementary school. Although I imagine a lot has changed in 40 years, I did recognize some names ... like the Benny Decker theater and the Red Devils! I truly enjoyed your video ... :o)

[rick948]

Sure is different from when I was stationed there (1977-1983)!

[natetechrock]

i miss japan...

[yukomattingly]

Hi Keekei,

My husband thinks he knows your father but don't remember his first name. He looked Midway cruise book but couldn't find him, did he work at A-Div?

Bill & Yuko Mattingly

[keekei]

@yukomattingly I'm not sure what division he was in but he was a RM. First name George.

[yukomattingly]

I visited there back in 2006 with my daughter. From 1986--1991 we used to live in VERY old duplex with so many roaches by heli port. lol And then moved to newer townhouse, Jones 62. I can't believe I still remember the address. The old dulex was gone and Yokosuka Base looked so different. My husband went to sea so many times including first Gulf war. I was a young busy mom then. I used to enjoy shopping and dining around Chuo station and Daiei.

[keekei]

@yukomattingly - your last name is so familiar. I was born and raised in Yokosuka. My dad was on the Midway, Frances Hammond, was also at Comsta and Comsubgroup 7. Parents last name is Nichols....

[TheAmazingPinoy]

I knew they had more there than the A club. What a typical drunk sailor I was. A club to the Honch and stumble home to Midway. Loved every minute of it.
