Champ Kind Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 It's a damn shame. So much fun to be had in that country without raping and assaulting people. WTF.

Ravens52 Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Yokota was the best flying assignment one could dream of! Now because of these constant run ins at Kadena and stricter curfews It seems I wouldn't wish that assignment or any Japanese assignment on anyone these days. It's going to be total lock down for those poor saps. No more Roppongi trips til 6 am, no more getting to go out and experience the good times Japan has to offer. What a damn shame... Lets hope there will be light at the end of the tunnel.... But damn...AF dude at Kadena, a 13 year old!?! What a way to go out as a punk that punched a 13 year old in the face... Stupid... And thanks for the added curfew mess
sputnik Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Keep perspective. This has happened before in the past (imagine rolling an airlift crew into shoppette after landing and finding chains and padlocks on the beer doors--takes AC skills to prevent E mutiny). And it passed. So to will this. Just keep a cool head, and keep those around you cool, and it'll pass into a beer drinking story.
Ravens52 Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Very true on the perspective part, but I just wonder when is someone going to say enough is enough? It seems when things go wrong on Okinawa they are making their way up to the mainland now, not just staying down south.
pawnman Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 So how many sexual assaults happen in the states? I wonder why we haven't implemented these procedures in the US yet...
Napoleon_Tanerite Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 So how many sexual assaults happen in the states? I wonder why we haven't implemented these procedures in the US yet... Shutuuuuuuuup..... you dont know who's looking for the next "good" idea! Seriously though, what happened to "don't be an asshole" and its companion rule "don't let your buddy be an asshole"? Believe it or not it is entirely possible to go out, get drunk, have a great time and NOT cause an international incident. 2
Wolf424 Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 One of the most frustrating parts of the situation is the uncertainty surrounding the curfew. We have heard everything from Christmas, to New Years, to 8 months from now. Among some of the other ideas on the table include a liberty pass policy (which may already be in the works... as all E-4s and below at Yokota have to have a "wingman" with them if they are off base from 1700-0500) and banning military members from drinking in public or on the trains (which to anyone who has been here knows will make that hour train ride to downtown painful). I just hope I can get at least one last Roppongi push in before I PCS.

Pretty sure at least one recent incident happened on mainland, don't blame this all on Oki.
Ravens52 Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Pretty sure at least one recent incident happened on mainland, don't blame this all on Oki. Things have happened on the mainland but nothing to the degree of what has happened on oki. In my time at Japan we had one incident on the mainland one of which was small and had no repercussions...
ThreeHoler Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 It is spreading...no alcohol sales from 0100-0600 at KMCC supposedly.
Azimuth Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Headed there this Saturday. Looking forward to no drinking.
dream big Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) It is spreading...no alcohol sales from 0100-0600 at KMCC supposedly. Well it's a good thing no one can buy alcohol at 1259 and still cause the same amount of debaucherry. Who comes up with this stuff...? Edited December 19, 2012 by dream big
tac airlifter Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Well it's a good thing no one can buy alcohol at 1259 and still cause the same amount of debaucherry. Who comes up with this stuff...? Maybe the same people who think banning the sale of pistol grips and flash hiders for semi-auto rifles will prevent school shootings?
Toro Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 It is spreading...no alcohol sales from 0100-0600 at KMCC supposedly. Where can you even drink at 0100 in the KMCC?
Butters Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Well it's a good thing no one can buy alcohol at 1259 and still cause the same amount of debaucherry. Who comes up with this stuff...? 1259? The middle of the day? How about 0059, that would make more sense.
KState_Poke22 Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 1259? The middle of the day? How about 0059, that would make more sense. I would argue that much debauchery can and should ensue after drinking a ton in the middle of the day.
osulax05 Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 You fuckers know what he meant. There are a few places to get liquored up in the KMCC but I didn't know any of them were open late anyway.
The Texan Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 1259? The middle of the day? How about 0059, that would make more sense. "I just figured she was a raging alcoholic." 2
addict Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) unfettered 24/7 access to the lobby fridge is gone? Edited December 20, 2012 by addict
billy pilgrim Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Quick sidebar - anyone know if you can live off base (accompanied) at Kadena? Thanks..
drewpey Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Quick sidebar - anyone know if you can live off base (accompanied) at Kadena? Thanks.. yes.
Azimuth Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 If you're TDY to Kadena, you're only allowed to eat off base during the non-curfew. You're not allowed to shop.
