So my buddy, Day, and I arrived in Okinawa around 12:00 in the A.M. We waited around to see if we could find a cab to bass, no one understood English until they saw our credit cards and cash, then all of a sudden, they were understanding everything we were saying. So we called the base, and someone came and picked us up.
We got to Base around 1:30am and got our sheets and checked in. Come to find out some of the permanent personnel have a wireless connection and we have been mooching off of them, since we've been here. We got up for formation around 8:00am and they made an announcement about a Sargent that had just checked in from the Marine Corps Recruiting Depot in San Diego. I didn't think anything of it. So we had to go talk to another Sargent about other stuff, and sure enough the Sargent that had checked in was the Drill Instructor from my Platoon back in boot camp. (The one that was switched into another platoon for being "malicious".
All in all, things are looking ok, I miss home a little, and so does Day. We'll start checking in on Monday, after we take a million hours of Japanese customs and what-not, classes.
More to come.
