Okinawa, definitely. Best location I've ever been to. Great tropical weather, easy to travel, nicest people in the entire world.

I’ll be on rotation to Japan In a couple months, hopefully this will give me some insight.

Okinawa, I’m also curious as to which location would be the most family friendly SFC (Join to see)

SSG (Join to see) definitely Okinawa. You'll see little kids as tall as your knee walking by themselves to school. Mainland Japan is the polar opposite of Oki. Plus, there would be maybe two 25B2 positions there. Tokyo is big city life. Okinawa is a tropical island where the speed limit most places is about 35 kmph. My kids absolutely loved it. The schools are the best my kids have ever been in. Okinawa is the kind of place where if you lose a $100 bill, or the latest $1100 iPhone, the person who finds it will turn it in to the lost and found and they'll hold it for you until you come get it.

You're young, so do them all and decide for yourself. I enjoyed anything Europe, Japan, and Alaska. Not so much Africa or South America. Loved Antarctica actually and got New Zealand as a bonus. Australia is great so long as it wasn't Perth or Rockhampton. Bottom line, many things to make the most of at any of those locations.
