Here are some things you probably didn’t know about Okinawa, Japan, the keystone of the Pacific that many Marines call home.
A recent video posted to the official Facebook page of III Marine Expeditionary Force highlights six things you probably didn’t know about Okinawa, Japan, a small picturesque island in the Pacific that many Marines call home.

Here's what you need to know if you go to Okinawa. I am sure it hasn't changed.
We were down at this bar in Kinville. It advertised the banana show. Soon a very middle-aged, very chunky and very naked lady came on stage with the banana with results surely best left to your imagination.
This did not appeal to me and I prevailed on my mates to slide down the street a couple of bars. This bar also adverted a banana show and big as life as soon as we got drinks the same lady came onstage and did the same act.

Hard to believe but I talked up an amtrakker who who was on Oki 15-20 years ago and apparently the same lady was doing the same banana show act in Kinville.

I wish that I had taken advantage of doing things other than going to Foster to the Main PX and into Kinville. It is actually a gorgeous island with a lot to do. Oh yeah, and all the protests were going on back then too.

Welcome to the Jungle Marines! JWTC (Jungle Warfare Training Center)
Marines and Sailors with Combat Logistics Regiment 37, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force and Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 40,...
We deploy
there all the time to be ready to be attached to MAGTAF-Special and MUE. We also send guys through JWTC Course, and I went through when deployed to NMCB Main Body. This is where we conduct Navy Marine Corps mission training. Video of Marines and Seabees going through JWTC Course in Okinawa Northern Training area, asdk any Marine and Seabee that have been to OKI and they will know what NTA is.

Yes sir, The one thing I never wanted to find was Habus. The JWTC keeps getting better I went through twice and the mud bowl, never changed and think the same water has been there forever. The smell of that water will never leave me. I did a project my first one in the Navy and my first deployment, at camp Schwab, don't know if it is spelled correctly.Nothing but grunts on that base, we were building a tank range.

I don't know what made this pop into my mind but the SR-71 was nicknamed the Habu. We watched one landing at Kadena from the CTA one day. That pic of me in the trailer was taken in the CTA Summer 1983.
