MISAWA AB JAPAN

[gi624]

Battery B was where we lived from about '66-'67 before we moved on base....yes it was off base and they say it no longer exists. It was little stucco houses mixed in with the wood frame Japanese houses about a mile from the main gate and about the same if you took a trail to what they called the back gate which was really the side gate.

[Bunnynut43]

ZOMG i used to live there..... fuck that place

[kcdc]

Home sweet home:) Thanks for a few good memories:)

[mrmn8honeybee]

We're hoping to go to Misawa here in a few years so this was fun to watch. I have one question tho... What the freak is that elevator music you're listening to?! xD

[Lemurai]

See i'd rather freeze my butt off over there than be deathly hot BORED and misearable at Kadena airbase or should I say Alcatraz. Trapped on an island with nothing but Americans and a small population of Japanese, just a horrble assignment!! Misawa or Yokota ONLY!!

[JrAtYahooDotCom]

[hockeychickkayla33]

I miss misawa so bad I lived at 131 C in 2001 I miss sollars. lol I carved my initials ka in a tree by 131 across the streets where the old tlfs were. and my sister did aa if anyone can find it email me 3rd-5th grade was sooo fun

[wiger3]

i use to go to that school... man i miss japan so much haha

[NateJensen1991]

I remember that just out the gate down an alley to the right, there was this restaurant called companions. Best food ever! Were there two elementaries? I thought it was Cummings. If there were two, I lived like a block away from the shopette near cummings, close to lake Ogawara.

[tkoizumi]

I remember going into the base when I was 1st grader in 1990. The town and people intimidated me and I often thought American kids were rude and aggressive, I feared them lol. I lived in Midorichou.

[Bliggida]

I wish I could go back. Ultimate vacation! 1988-1995. Went to the original Sollars, then Edgren. I remember the 'old' hospital - never even saw the new one. When the mall opened up near the main gate we felt so civilized. I lived at 403-C near Tiny-Tot University. On Google, neither seem to still be there.

[xdeepmist]

Oh my gawd...that was my old elementary school. So many good memories. I miss Japan! ;~;

Also at 2:17 - down the street was my old house. O.O I remember a lot!

[markee1969]

Hey, glad this short video clip brought back some good old memories for you.

[xdeepmist]

Yeah, thanks for uploading! Have you ever knew what happened to Rocket Park? I heard the took down the rocket..but I can't imagine how it would look. Lol.

[madkangaroo2]

I lived here until march!

[ImDark2day]

I use to go to Sollars Elementary School from Kinder. to 3rd grade.

[jamell900]

i went to sollars from pre-school to 5th grade and i used to live in tower 115 but later in 2004 moved to tower 212

[northstarvalerie]

thanks so much for doing this! My dad was ops off with 4th FIS , an F 102 squadron, 1960-64. we lived in B Battery, if it's still there. My strongest memories are the flight line and school but I havent seen anything since I was a kid there. I think I may try and start a Facebook group for the Sollars for other TCKs out there. I'm on Facebook as Valerie Craigwell White. thanks again

[markee1969]

Hey I'm glad you enjoyed my videos. I know the quality is garbage but it should be able to bring back your good old memories of Misawa. You mentioned you lived in B Battery but is that off base?

[kenponjon]

Yep, the Hill. There've been a few vids of it, and/or photos, put out on it, but poor quality.

Don't believe there's any regs against it. Just take a gander on google....lots of photos, and even Wiki has a good writeup with photos.

Just would like a good video, and you seem to be in the positon and like to record.

Domo arigato, ne'?

[kenponjon]

How about a run up the hill and then one perhaps by the flt line?

And RipSaw?

[markee1969]

You mean security hill? That might not be a good idea for me to record. Flight line should be possible. If I get a chance I will try to get some footage.

[Totallityblink]

Okay, thanks for the info.

[Totallityblink]

HELLO

[markee1969]

welcome to Misawa. Uh, about the high school, well its been a long time since I went there so I really don't know how it is but I believe they have the regular sports activities and others. One thing for sure is that this place is very safe. That can also mean its boring too. But I am sure as a high school kid you will probably find something fun to do while your here.

[Totallityblink]

I just moved here on the 15th of oct and im wondering if the high school is any good?

[blacklabel3980]

what vehicle are you in? sounds pretty nice!

[markee1969]

So your coming to good old Misawa. You might enjoy this place.If you like to ski or snowboard then there is plenty of places to go and have fun. This car I drive is a MAZDA MX-3. I have a sports exhaust on it so it sounds pretty nice huh.

[sunflower3284]

What is this music always playing in your car?? It's great!

I lived just down the street from sollars.

[markee1969]

I'm glad you like this music. Its by a Japanese group called Fantastic Plastic Machine. The name of the song is Pura Saudade(Nova Bossa Nova).

[Jawalabang2]
