I have considered a trip back to Okinawa. I was there in 1985-1987.
Would they let me back on my base? (Camp Foster...).

Anyone who was up north I felt bad for. I was stationed at Camp Kinser 1989 - 1991. It was great being next to NAHA, and seeing the "STAGE".. Yes, I know the official name is the Naha music center, but we all know what was there. And of course BC street was classic. Who can forget whisper alley? These are memories that all of us Marines who have step foot there can share together forever. Thanks for posting these views. I alwasy wanted to go back and see the changes.I'm sure it's changed a lot.

i was on the rock in 76 on my way to Camp Fuji as permanent personel. thank you for the memories...Semper Fi
That's where I work! I didn't know anything about it being a BOQ back in the day, but I'm sure a lot has changed since then though. That is now the Company Headquarters for MP Support Co, III MHG, III MEF. Soon it might be Battalion headquarters for 3rd Law Enforcement Bn when that stands up.

@tgs455 Interesting turn of events. I was surprised to see my old quarters was still standing since so much has been torn down and replaced in 35 years at Camp Hansen. Semper Fi.

I wouldn't know about 'buc' restaurant. I only visited the base and then drove up to the aquarium the day I visited.

Doubtful without a Common Access Card issued by DoD or USMC. I was civilian contractor and had a card issued by theDoD Agency I worked for at the time.

I was at PI during the summer of '65 with Sgt's Pitts, Groshans and Cpl Bess. One never forgets the sand fleas. I got to visit my boot camp barracks area many decades later. Much had changed of course.
