Joe, I was there TDY a few times in the late 80s, but with the Air Force. Not a bad place to visit and a lot of neat stuff to see. Ask him if he has been to Charlie's Tacos on the "Strip". Driving is different as it is on the wrong side of the road. Not a bad place to be all things considered.

"The Rock", Charlies tacos, Ozekies for beef, Gate 2 street. Lots of time there while in the Air Force. Started out working F-100's @ Kadena, then transitioned to the F-105's, 18thTFW. TDY's to Yokota /Misawa. Back again in SAC with the SR-71's,"HABU'S. Retired, went back as a ciilian A&P with a tow target operation, lots of changes, but a lot worse places one could be. When Reversion did come about, a lot of good things came to be, utilities,water, sanitation, etc. Japaneese Govt said no rusted out multi colored cars, 2 of us slung Bondo and painted cars in the back of the Habu hangar / complex, used surplus blue and white so color choices were few, but our rates were LOW.
