14th USASA Field Station - Japan
Title: 14th field station
I was stationed at the 14th from Nov 64 to Nov. 66.
As a matter of fact I am in Fukuoka right now visiting my in-laws. To let all of you know that the base is now known as Uminonachimichi, it has a modern hotel and restaurant and spa, an aquarium, which is where the parade field, theater, BX bowling alley and em club were located.
The dependent housing area, church, Ops, and golf course is now an amusement park.
Siatozaki is not a small town anymore, the ferry dock as we knew it is gone and a new one is built along the inner bay. All the roads are paved and there are traffic lights on almost every corner, The coal slag pile is completely gone and there is a new golf course there,
Shigonoshima is a big tourist attraction now with several hotels on both sides if the island and the road has been widened and paved.
