View of Camp Foster, Okinawa

[Tisalay99]

Oh my goodness I miss the globe and anchor I remember I went to Zukrean elementary. MEMORIES!!!!!!!!!!

[97448able]

My memories of Okinawa are somewhat vague. Camp Foster was the one next to Kadena AFB I'm assuming? That being the case, the SR-71 "Black Bird" would fly low and slow right over head, a sight to behold.

Took up Scuba Diving after getting bored doing the same things the rest of you degenerates did. There was a Sea Wall along the Ocean you see in this video. I spent most of my off-duty time snorkeling and free-diving here. God knows how much sewage dumped into this; corral life was spectacular.

I was thrown out of that E-Club a few times. Same with the Airmans Club on Kadena AFB.

I used to know this as Camp Sukiran in 1963-64. Home of the 12th Marines (my regt) and 173rd Airborne Brigade. I left in August 64 and flew down to Danang and Phu Bai right after the Tonkin Gulf incident...sort of before VN became popular...but I have my memories of a mountain top event that hang with me to this day....

[penny29p]

was stationed at camp foster from 1999 to 2000. Lived in barracks next to armory. MWSS-172. The town next door was very nice and the beaches were excellent. I kinda miss that place now.

[nursesuzanne]

Thanks for posting. Nice to see where my son is heading next. Semper Fi!

[xyandz100]

Thanks, not that it matters but I spent all of 68 there with the 3rd FSR. It was a really large Army base and we just had a Supply Regiment.

Looks like it's changed up just a tad bit since then. Make's me want to take stroll down BC street.

Thanks

I only saw for a few days in 1968 when I rotated back to 'world' from my Nam tour. Then for a whole year in 72-73

[montague1345]

Cool video I was at Camp Foster from 92-93 3rd LSB (red patchers) I drank alot of beer at the Globe & Anchor.

[caldwdo]

Enjoy the memory. During my tour 1972-73 this was an Army base. Do you know when the Marines took over?

[montague1345]

I did not know it was an Army base I did a google search and could not find anything. That is the Globe & Anchor E-club right? That is cool that you where able to travel back there.

[caldwdo]

Way back when Camp Foster was an army base; Camp Zukeran. The elementary school at Cp Foster sign still reads Zukeran Elementary.

[Lee461]

Not sure when Marines took over but I was station at Camp Foster with 3rd MarDiv 3rdFSSG in 1977. At that time the Army still had a few personnel on the base.

[Itravelbackintime]

My exp. goes back 28 years ago. Looking down the hill it looks like one the buildings where the USO and a cafeteria were located. Just below the buildings was a movie theater. I don't know if they are still there but that was the last of what I remembered. On a another note it's kind of sad to know that Makiminato (another housing area) was demolished. Oh the memories. I plan on returning..can't wait.

[HolleySmith15]

Globe and Anchor was the first club that I went to! Okinawa was amazing!

[caldwdo]
