Thanks for visiting. Glad to help the Marine family stay in touch and understand where they are going to/from.

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

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....
