14th USASA Field Station - Japan
Couldn't think of anything else for a title. Hakata was a long time ago, and far away. April '64 to Dec 67. Trick 4.
The best tour and best days of my life. Too much booze, too many motorcycles (7), too many overnighters, too many bloody mids, too little money. That's always a problem, ha. I was an 05D Sigint type. RFP, DF, dah-did-dah-dah. Diana pads. DF Site, site dogs. Beach house. Larry Cruze, Gary Devol, Andy Harvey, 'Beg'nap. Bzzzz.
Khaki shorts, knee socks, dress shoes, house boys (Chisai), Shiganoshima (Shika no Shima or 'deer island'?)
The 410 area. The antenna field, Ops building, burn bags, morse code ops. that were really good, Oie. The airfield, PSP, sea food heaven Mess Hall, 'Fuchan' the motorcycle guy. Man what memories! I could go on and on if I had time and more brain cells. Loved the place.
