I got my orders yesterday, and despite picking Virginia 1 and Washington state 2, the Navy decided to send me to Yokosuka, Japan! Lovely. Anyways, I am curious if anyone is knowledgeable of the area, what I should do to prepare, and what I should expect once I get there.

Thanks!

I'm QNJ in the Navy atm but a lot of my family has lived on Yokosuka before, I even visited it when I was smaller. All I can really say is check out the gym at that base. It is the best gym of any military base anywhere in the world. Running on a treadmill with a T.V. inside the treadmill, and there is an olympic swimming pool on the second floor. I think Yokosuka has the University of Maryland on it if you want to use your tuition assistance at an on base school. The place is really nice though, I would love to get stationed there once, if only to keep up the family tradition.

I wish I could remember more about it, but I was 7 or 8 when I went there. My uncle taught sports at Yokosuka after he retired I think while his wife taught ESL, one of my recruiters was there before and my uncle was actually his daughter's PE teacher.

We've been forming much of Japan's military might since World War II's post-war agreements said they are not allowed to have a standing army for reasons other than homeland defense.

Japan isn't allowed to have their own army (except for self defense) and there are a shitload of US bases all over Japan..

AND I JUST MOVED TO JAPAN LIKE A MONTH AGO. It's a really great experience. Congrats man. You'll have lots of fun. I'm in Tokyo not Yokosuka but they are still really close. Any questions?
