You have a very cool avatar! Thank you for your service.
I was stationed at Kadena from 86-89. Hands down one of my best assignments.
I did two TDYs to Kadena, each little over 9 months long, total 18 months at kadena AFB between 1968 and 1971. This was before the island was given back to Japan. It was totally different then, lets just say Koza which was just outside Gate 2 and is now called Okinawa City and the night life was wild and wide open to say the least. They closed the doors at midnight and the bars opened up secret doors hidden in ally ways, under barrels, down ladders and in tunnels, from out side the bar looked closed but was far from being closed on the inside.
