Agree with SSG Carpenter. I sent 30 months there (1968-1970) and it has only gotten better, My son was at Kadena AFB for five years and said it is a lot like Hawaii. Not sure if they military still has a rec area at the northern end of the island; was a great place then.

I work on Torii Station as a contractor with DoDEA Pacific HQ. Sleepy little base that is growing (a lot of construction over the past 5 years) so it is getting more built up. A bit further north than the larger military bases of Kadena and Foster/Butler so it's a little out of the way, but the area is a little less populated with more beaches and dive spots. Torii itself has a nice beach as well with some cabins that can be rented for overnight stays. If you have any further questions, let me know.
