Jeff, your the man. Here is one that may interest some folks. This is a Rope they use for us outside the base. Called a tug of war against the West and the south. At the end of the tug o war you take a piece of the rope with you and it gives you good luck.

2 pics here first one is the Rope and the second is a veiw of tyco drummers kids on gate two street. I thought I would let some folks see exactly how okinawa has changed.

Thanks again Jeff, Kevin

WOW Kevin! Great pictures, thanks for sharing them! My dad was a Navy lifer; kinda miss all the moving around. It took me a long time to be content to live in one place for more than two years!

Gate two street,
? ?Now that takes me back to the good old days.? When I was at Oki people where still finding sealed up caves with Japanese troops in them.? I'm talking rifles ammo, full gear wow what a find.? That would be from around 1945ish I guess.? What I would give to be back on that island with my DFX.? Naha city has some great old parks.? You might want to check in to detecting a few of those really old sake caves.? That would be a great place for someone to put cache.? Close to the sea.? ?I don't know how much Japanese you speak but if you can learn a little Hogen it will really help you get in good.? It is spoken mostly by the older folks.? Way back when I had a girlfriend who was a Japanese national.? Here mother and Grandmother spoke Hogen around us when they didn't want us to know what they were saying.? I picked up a few words and it helped me out more times then I can count.? I guess Hogen puts you in the click with the cool kids.

Kermit, Nice link. Thanks. I have been in Japan since 2001. Before I was stationed in Sasebo Japan as the USS ESSEX, Command Master Chief. Little cold up there but the weather here is great.

I noticed that you like to dive. I will get certified before I leave here.

I saw the one pic of the cats face. Is that on Okinawa? Where?

Allot has changed of what I hear. Okinawa is starting to clean up. There are plenty of beaches here. Back in March I did find a 1/5 oz Gold Coin. It is the on the I have as my profile. Like your link. To see a little of Okinawa you can go to http://www.japanupdate.com/en/ Thanks also for the link. Be safe. Kevin
