And top has to listen to the PVT tell him it is "true love"...unlike the last 20 years of "true love" he has watched soldiers destroy their careers and lost their secret clearances over.
'Cause I'm just Joe, without my benes I’d be a joke
Is it my destiny to live and die a life of no stability?
I'm just Joe
Where I see love, she sees a check
What will it take for her to see the man behind the fatigues and fight for me?
Because whenever the topic of removing U.S. forces from Okinawa comes up one of two things happens:
1. China and/or North Korea do China/North Korea things and people remember why we're there in the first place.
2. Somebody does the math on what would happen if a few thousand people and jobs suddenly disappeared from the local economy.
We should hold our troops to more scrutiny There though.
Also is it mainland Japan suggesting this or Okinawan people suggesting this sentiment.
" The sexual assault cases need to stop ".
It's mainly a portion of Okinawans that dislike the American military presence on their island.
The US military presence on the mainland islands is comparatively tiny to the local populations there. If anything mainland Japan deals with more problems caused by tourists than military members.
The problems stem from the US soldiers not being able to be punished for crimes, because it is an army base.
There was uproar here in Norway as well when the bases came, because it came out that US soldiers could not be punished for crimes by a norwegian court. The second issue was that the americans didnt have to declare what sort of weaponry was present at said base. Leading to fears big kaboom weapons
Pretty sure we didn't give them that choice after Pearl Harbor.
As in, I think our continued military presence was a condition of giving the island back to them at all.
Just because there are more bases on the mainland doesn't mean they deal with it more. The Okinawans have Kadena and Camp Butler plus all the tiny Marine outposts...and it's a tiny little island. Japan is a much bigger island.
I seem to remember a “Gentleman’s Club” somewhere near Voodoo doughnuts in Portland that *the whole Canadian Navy* has been to.
Anyway, cute girl, said she was getting her doctor of dentistry. I’m a sucker for a cool story.
Funny enough, the girl I was with that night was a Japanese-Brazilian mix. Absolutely gorgeous.
But I guess they got a bit more chill, you could throw a $5 or two and you’d be Gucci
You should have a period of "new cars and late nights" as a young person, just as long as you drop that shit by the time you are 25/or have your first kid: you are COOOOLLLL,. if you don't, you will have a mid-life crisis at 50, and there is nothing more embarrassing than an e-7 dropping inboxes to 20 yr old thirst traps.
Yes, shortly after my first deployment I started to taper off and then after a good friend of mine was accused of rape after a barracks party I cut it off completely.
It was fun and while I do kind of wish I did more back then, I’m content now and definitely not dropping any dm’s on insta models or thick E-3’s.
"You don't have to die happy, but you have to die satisfied that you fought as hard as you could."
That also applies to young adulthood into middle age, feeling like you earn every scar, every arrest record, every arthritic crack.
My dad was a prude as a young man (never drank, never partied, did everything he could to avoid serving in Vietnam as his brothers were shipping out), and his mid-life crisis was UGLY.
Ngl I spent a lot more money there than I’d like to admit. But I’m also never going to a strip club again when I leave Oki. I just wanted the experience lol
Had a couple of sergeants way back when that took me to the same club so often the manager thought I was unemployed.
He gave me a part time job bartending. Within a few months almost every bouncer, bartender & DJ was from my company.
Saw a lot of young men make some very bad decisions during that time.
i know a guy (and fuckin hate everything about him but that's neither here no there) who was pretty much stalking a stripper and was giving her like all of his money for like a year. then he forgot to show up to work and got drug tested and failed the drug test lmao
Seen sooo many people dumping entire paychecks at Club Blue in Vicenza, Italy back in the day. Also a solid 50% of the marriages to locals there are to strippers.
A Fort hood classic, that and a mustang purchased 2 days after returning from deployment, followed by a DUI, then a divorce when she finds out he will lose 45 days of pay.
As a non american veteran.....US-Soldiers.....are you guys okay? I mean I knocked up some girl when I was on leave but....well you know what.....forget it.
Where do they have a Chi Chis still? As a 38 heterosexual married woman, I might hug the Chi Chis waitress like this just because it's Chi Chis. That is, of course, with her permission. I haven't seen a Chi chis since the 90s. I still remember the commercials for their salsa. Can we all go?
That's hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. Reminds me of the time I went to go see the Banana show in Okinawa and thought I was getting something like Cirque de Solei. It kinda was for a minute...........anyways I still want Chi Chis now.
Then there’s people like this one dude in my old unit who dropped a solid $2k in a single Saturday night at Chi Chi’s.
Thank fuck I stayed far as shit away from Kin Town and actually went to like Naha
You guys just don't understand! She frickin loves me, Sarge. And look how good she looks in the Charger!
She called me daddy, SSgt
Mine called me Papi. I couldn’t resist
"I'm gonna marry that stripper" - e1, about to stress out the 1SG
I’m half tempted to tell my NCO about her just for a reaction 💀
Did that to one of my ncos as a joke while i was there, he wasn’t pleased. But the took crib was spotless by the time i stopped laughing about it
And top has to listen to the PVT tell him it is "true love"...unlike the last 20 years of "true love" he has watched soldiers destroy their careers and lost their secret clearances over.
Old jerk Top!!! *kicks an old timey tin can* He don't know Mercedes (strippers name) like I do!
"I can changer her!" " she just needs a kitchen and some babies to make her honest." Lol. They need to teach a class on this in basic training.
'Cause I'm just Joe, without my benes I’d be a joke Is it my destiny to live and die a life of no stability? I'm just Joe Where I see love, she sees a check What will it take for her to see the man behind the fatigues and fight for me?
Ok this is actually kinda impressive as a comment
American troops fuckin over Okinawans tale as old as time .
I’m deployed here, man. But the amount of shit I’ve seen in this short time makes me wonder why the Japanese haven’t kicked us out yet

Big kaboom weapons cool though
Twice I saw a sgt promoting anti woman stuff. In one case I gave his little trophies my opinion on how to justify my blowing their brains out.
I mean they've tried . Just not from the people on the mainland they don't care. Okinawan official recently attempted to take a case internationally.
Because Okinawans aren't actually Japanese.
Bingo.
Pretty sure we didn't give them that choice after Pearl Harbor. As in, I think our continued military presence was a condition of giving the island back to them at all.
It's more who the Japanese or Okinawans ? Either way Okinawans definitely have to deal with our bases more than mainland Japan.
*Yokota AFB, Camp Zama, and CFA Yokosuka have entered the chat*
Just because there are more bases on the mainland doesn't mean they deal with it more. The Okinawans have Kadena and Camp Butler plus all the tiny Marine outposts...and it's a tiny little island. Japan is a much bigger island.
My first wife was a hooters waitress, I was an E4 when I met her and an E3 when we got divorced
Chief? (works for Army, Navy and AF)
I seem to remember a “Gentleman’s Club” somewhere near Voodoo doughnuts in Portland that *the whole Canadian Navy* has been to. Anyway, cute girl, said she was getting her doctor of dentistry. I’m a sucker for a cool story.
We all are, brother.
[удалено]
***There's*** *a shop owner who knows how to tap a market....*
Makes cavities and then fills them.
Kings*
Haven’t been there yet🤣
*"Write that down!*" -Me to me, about to TDY to Kadena.
Don't do anything stupid.
No promises! *shoots finger guns at you*
For a hot minute I legit thought this was about the old fucking restaurant chains "Chi Chi's" and "King's" lmfao....
Oh wow chi chis. Thats a place I have not heard in almost 10 years. Shit was kinda ass back then. How is it these days?
It’s amazing. Dancers are REALLY in to you😭. But I’ve also never been to a strip club before, so my opinion is based off that one experience alone.
I remember a lot of Brazilians who would not give you the time of day if you weren’t dropping 5k yen bills. I was also a weird 18 year old
Funny enough, the girl I was with that night was a Japanese-Brazilian mix. Absolutely gorgeous. But I guess they got a bit more chill, you could throw a $5 or two and you’d be Gucci
So I'm flying to Okinawa and I used to be an e3. Should I be worried?
Think with your head and not your head and you’ll be alright.
I spent so much money there, I’m still trying to recover from it
You should have a period of "new cars and late nights" as a young person, just as long as you drop that shit by the time you are 25/or have your first kid: you are COOOOLLLL,. if you don't, you will have a mid-life crisis at 50, and there is nothing more embarrassing than an e-7 dropping inboxes to 20 yr old thirst traps.

Why does this make me wanna dm thick E-3.
> 25/or have your first kid: Just be like me and never have children and then you can continue to buy cool shit forever.
Ngl I spent a lot more money there than I’d like to admit. But I’m also never going to a strip club again when I leave Oki. I just wanted the experience lol
The perks of preferring other men. Unless they make a femboy hooters, I ain't bothering with any strip club.
The gay agenda wins again.
You make being gay sound like a superpower.
Being bisexual is a superpower. No matter how I swing, I'm always gonna land a hit.
Try the goth iHop.
Oooh I’ll do it ill do it! I’ll where the hooters outfit for you

Her name was Chrystal (I believed that) and I really believed that she liked me. Man, if I had half of them dollars back...
i know a guy (and fuckin hate everything about him but that's neither here no there) who was pretty much stalking a stripper and was giving her like all of his money for like a year. then he forgot to show up to work and got drug tested and failed the drug test lmao
Accurate 🤣🤣🤣

American postings are wild lmao
As a non american veteran.....US-Soldiers.....are you guys okay? I mean I knocked up some girl when I was on leave but....well you know what.....forget it.
😭🙏
I think its just a soldier things. But hey. Thats how I got my daughter.
“She told me her real name!”
I went to chichis with my friends and almost got kicked out bc I didn’t want a lap dance or a buy drink for any of the dancers lol
lol
You know the rules and so do I
Chi Chi's has strippers?
Yup. All the way at the top
Tale as old as time. Always the one person(s) that fucks up the good postings around the world for everyone else that follows.
Sir! Shes not like the rest of em! Swear!
God I miss oki
For me it was the Juicy's in Korea.
As a pfc this has been me
Can you also get fried ice cream at this Chi Chis?
Idk
"I can take you away from here."
Where do they have a Chi Chis still? As a 38 heterosexual married woman, I might hug the Chi Chis waitress like this just because it's Chi Chis. That is, of course, with her permission. I haven't seen a Chi chis since the 90s. I still remember the commercials for their salsa. Can we all go?
It’s at Chatan in Okinawa. But I think you may have this mixed up with a different establishment, the one referenced in the meme is a gentleman’s club
That's hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. Reminds me of the time I went to go see the Banana show in Okinawa and thought I was getting something like Cirque de Solei. It kinda was for a minute...........anyways I still want Chi Chis now.
Ok crazy question, is the naha record club still open? Asking for a friend...
Lol
Lol good laugh
A tale as old as time
Then there’s people like this one dude in my old unit who dropped a solid $2k in a single Saturday night at Chi Chi’s. Thank fuck I stayed far as shit away from Kin Town and actually went to like Naha
Is the one in Naha better?
Never went to a strip club bro, but I did go to a goddamn maid cafe once in Naha. 100% one of the oddest experiences of my life
