It was on Okinawa during Vietnam. It was Special Forces training. I have the plaque from when my dad was there. After his tours in Nam he stayed there to train others. I wasn't sure if maybe lore of it stayed around Okinawa or not.
I dont recall any lore. But by the early 80s there werent many vietnam vets still in. Our gunny was in vietnam. Best guy i ever worked for.
I only spent time on base, in the one town outside base and the beach. It was 6.5 miles one way. We would run to the beach and back every night.
Here it is.

This is me in Ukraine enjoying a cold one at KFC. They sell beer on tap there. Well, I decided to bring my own in from outside, then an employee came up to me when I popped the top, gave me a brown paper bag, and walked away. I love Ukraine!

My beautiful bride of 33+ years and it only gets better every day.
Here is my squad and myself in Taji, Iraq December 2019. We are in front of the PAX terminal, waiting to get on a C-130 to fly us to Kuwait, and then back home.
We had just finished 9 long, hot months of doing heavy maintenance repairs on Apache Helicopters.
This was my 4th and final deployment.
You can't tell it from my face, but at the time I was absolutely overjoyed to be getting out of there and bringing all my guys home safely.

That's very cool. I wonder how far apart camp hansen and camp hardy are?
Sweet. Thats an heirloom for sure. My father was in vietnam in the early days. And my grandfather was in the pacific during wwii.
Dude! My battalion was on air contingency when in okinawa for that hemisphere when the barracks were blown up. They were about to activate us. When our replacement unit landed on oki. They werent supposed to relieve us for a few months. But because they were already loaded onto planes they sent them. At the time i was very disappointed. As we were the sniper unit for our battalion. And they saw the most action on the rooftops during that operation.I was there...1983
