Okinawa as a duty station
Greetings all. Don't really know the rules of posting so forgive me if I break one.
Currently at 0231 school, and we choose orders this week or next. Probably going to be air orders. I'm top 3 in my class, so I'l be able to go pretty much wherever, I'll just have to choose by the unit of what location I want.
I've been thinking Okinawa for awhile. I just don't know much of anything about Oki, besides there are a bunch of restrictions for junior Marines. The only real thing I'm worried about is if I get there, hate it, and not able to go home for 2 Yrs. Can anyone fill me in on how life in Okinawa is for junior Marines? I heard from one of the OODs that Oki is now alowing junior Marines to own cars, is this true? And what are the other restrictions or things that are different than Miramar/Camp Pendleton? Along with the suck, what made you love/enjoy it? If it helps, I'm 20, so if the rules are the same I've heard, I'd be able to drink.
Any input is appreciated!
