Just got orders to Okinawa

[Silentwarrior17]

Oh man did I love the grass ninjas over there. I couldn't believe how old some of those people were and still trucking. And word to the wise...Go and see the banana, but wouldn't recommend eating it. After you see WHO it came from you'll, get my drift.

Listen brother, Okinawa is one of the best duty stations in the Marine Corps. You willl train hard and play hard and it will be a great experience. That whole year I was there (2001-2002) was honestly one of the best years of my LIFE. I know it sounds dumb but it's true. SO many things happened to me during those years (Sept. 11th, getting put on the MEU) it really changed me. Not to mention the island is incredibly beautiful with some of the worlds best snorkeling and diving. Just stay out of trouble and like a lot of the guys have said already, it's all what you make it. If your into a little booze to wind down, check out Kinville right outside of Camp Hansen. Good times.

I was stationed in Oki (74-75) at Camp Foster & TAD to Futemna. The EM Club was good. It was the same style building as the barracks I lived in. I did a lot of snorkling around the Camp Courtney area. It was great. I was able to check out some of the old battlefields. Have a great time! Watch out for the JP's.

My two biggest regrets from my time on active duty were not chopping out to a MEU, and not getting a chance to see Okinawa. Maybe some day I'll get my chance.

Two tours on Okinawa, enjoyed both. I suggest you get a driver's license and a car to get the full experience.

Gotta love them grass ninjas. Freakin 9 million degrees outside and 1 million percent humidity and they are wearing 3 layers of clothes. Spend all day mowing huge lawns with a weed eater. For lunch they all sit around and eat fish heads and rice. Never see em take a drink of water or even go use the bathroom..... just all day out there with a weed eater.

You forgot "become a video gamer". Although come to think of it, a lot of people play video games when they're drunk, which is pretty much when they're not working.
