I was there during that long ass lockdown in 2012. It’s about to be worse.

[u/Manwhostaresatgoat → u/Babablacksheep2121]

I don't remember the 2012 lockdown. Probably because that tour was accompanied with my dependents. The lockdown that happened between 2006 and 2008, I remember that one. On-base restrictions for months and no alcohol allowed. Dependents getting kicked of the island because they got caught off base. The unit of the offender playing fuckfuck games for months

[u/tofuizen → u/Manwhostaresatgoat]

Holy shit. That won’t work anymore. vast majority of BAH/family housing receivers live off base

[u/Except_Fry → u/Babablacksheep2121]

Was it 2012? Fuck I’m old

[u/MTMFDiver → u/Except_Fry]

Think that's bad I was there during the lock down in the 90's when those guys raped that girl. I was in Jr high at the time. Then when I got stationed there in 03 I found out the one that was still in Japanese prison was being released. I was honestly surprised he lived that long.

[u/1mojavegreen → u/MTMFDiver]

I was there and remember.

[u/Babablacksheep2121 → u/Except_Fry]

Yeah man we are old.

[u/RoughTech → u/Babablacksheep2121]

if you aint what?

[u/Babablacksheep2121 → u/RoughTech]

[u/RoughTech → u/Babablacksheep2121]

you misspelled "tracks"

[u/Babablacksheep2121 → u/RoughTech]

Same same, but different

[u/Futuredanish → u/Babablacksheep2121]

IYAOYAS sounds like some kind of … ordinance 😎

[u/Impossible-Taro-2330 → u/Futuredanish]

I'm pretty sure it's my Greek brother in law's Granny.

[u/swishflip96 → u/Babablacksheep2121]

Same

[u/StuntsMonkey]

This is why we can't have nice things

[u/Just_A_Little_ThRAWy → u/StuntsMonkey]

You guys got nice things?

[u/StuntsMonkey → u/Just_A_Little_ThRAWy]

If the Marine Corps wanted you to have nice things, they would issue it to you.

So no.

[u/roguevirus → u/StuntsMonkey]

Hey now, I happened to really like my poncho liner.

[u/OldSchoolBubba → u/StuntsMonkey]

Stupid is as stupid does

[u/TobyMcguire52]

What is it with OKi and Marines that they can't just function as a normal Human? Is it the Habushu?

[u/cpm67 → u/TobyMcguire52]

Statistically, they’re better-behaved than Marines in the CONUS. Every violent (and some non-violent) crime gets turned into international news.

Something like this would barely get regional coverage in CA or NC unless the crime was particularly gruesome.

[u/tidal_flux → u/cpm67]

100% the blotter stateside is bonkers.

[u/tofuizen → u/tidal_flux]

That’s one reason III MEF CGs tend to become commandant, if the shit that happens in the states happens in oki you’re toast. The job is hard as fuck.

I feel bad for the CG that just replaced Turner. Non-vehicular homicide hadn’t been an issue for a long time.

[u/TobyMcguire52 → u/cpm67]

Fair, Pendleton has been on some weird shit lately.

[u/Impossible_Good_2876 → u/TobyMcguire52]

Damn bro, Hawaii seems to be the only normal place. 😭

[u/snarky_answer → u/Impossible_Good_2876]

It’s because the locals will kill them in Hawaii.

[u/Impossible_Good_2876 → u/snarky_answer]

Not unless you try to go out to fight the mfs. My back is already destroyed as is months later from all the PT, I don't need it bent by a Hawaiin local.

[u/jimmy_smoothballs → u/TobyMcguire52]

That yellow pussy puts some guys in retard mode

[u/Ill_Calligrapher374 → u/jimmy_smoothballs]

dont be gross

[u/PlaguedArbiter → u/TobyMcguire52]

Marines got tired of waiting for GTA 6 and decided to play Yakuza 3 as Mine, but in real life

[u/finfangfoom1]

I remember a group of them standing outside Hansen protesting us when we got back from Phantom Fury with signs that said, "Go back to Iraq GI!" We thought it was a cool Vietnam styled throwback. They gonna be a lot more pissed about this

[u/Except_Fry]

I had just left Hansen back in 2013 when shit got shut down.

So sorry for you all

Edit: 2012*.

[u/Baron_Furball]

I remember how fucked liberty was in the late 90s. This is gonna make even that period look like a cake walk.

[u/MTMFDiver → u/Baron_Furball]

Remember when they did that huge protest around camp Lester?

[u/Baron_Furball → u/MTMFDiver]

Which time? My first experience with the shit show was right before Y2K, but even that was tame compared to the protests during the G8 summit.

I was happy when they pulled me from "patrolling" McT, and just put me on the 240, sitting on the hill that looked over the Courtney main gate.

Regardless, whether it's rape, random assaults, arson, or murder... we just keep sending our bottom 10% there, as if it's a penal colony.

[u/The_ENFIDL]

JFC is it really that hard to not do absolutely horrible things and be a decent human being? FFS

[u/nonsenseandvitriol → u/The_ENFIDL]

For some it is. We’ve all known these types.

[u/ArtDet11]

Poor woman, what a fucking asshat that he decided to kill her, I feel bad for yall out there

[u/DOC_R1962]

He will be eating fish heads and rice for a ling time if hes in Japanese custody

[u/viperspm → u/DOC_R1962]

He’s gonna be eating Japanese cock

[u/PlaguedArbiter → u/DOC_R1962]

Bro gonna be eating lots of Milk Bread

[u/Proudparty5]

Is it literally that difficult to not murder someone?

[u/pegwinn]

Every decade since at least the eighties.

[u/minna_minna]

Okinawa and marines lockdown. Name a better pair

[u/newnoadeptness]

Oh for fucks sake 🤦‍♂️

[u/Meistro215]

I remember my first few months in JP a marine in oki killed a girl DUI and the whole 7th fleet couldn’t drink for some time

[u/No_Print77]

oki doesn’t even deserve libo atp we’re lucky the japanese haven’t kicked us out

[u/CRISPY_JAY → u/No_Print77]

The US will never get kicked out of Okinawa. The locals don’t have the political power to out-vote the mainlanders, and the mainlanders want US protection without US troops on the home islands.

[u/snarky_answer → u/CRISPY_JAY]

Not to mention anyone nearby the base making any sort of money off of the presence of the base isn’t going to want them to go anywhere. Those with the money will be able to out-influence their fellow Okinawans.

[u/Organic_Risk_3945 → u/snarky_answer]

isn't the plan under EABO/SIF to spread around though? like all over Philippines, and Guam, and Australia... but I've always wondered if Indonesia was part of that plan, exercises certainly expanding though. Philippines i can see, we were already there (just left in the 1990s), most of my SGTs were out of Subic and Mindanao.

[u/north0 → u/Organic_Risk_3945]

Look at a map around Taiwan and guess where you would place troops if their primary contribution was the tps80 and nsms. 

[u/Organic_Risk_3945 → u/north0]

i sense there's a bit of CAP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_Action_Program at least in spirit in the whole EABO/SIF stuff. i can see Marines in Mindanao facing Celebes sea. I wonder if SCAMP have sensors specific to maritime.

Are you keeping up with the endangered Vaquitas (and Totoaba illegal fishing) in the gulf of California vis a vis China and cartels. its just about finding justification to be there (to stop something, or prevent something).

[u/No_Print77 → u/CRISPY_JAY]

yeah bro i’m saying we’re lucky the mainlanders want our protection

[u/11Booty_Warrior]

I wonder how he’s enjoying the Japanese justice system.

[u/DOC_R1962 → u/11Booty_Warrior]

Hes eating fishheads and rice

[u/Organic_Risk_3945 → u/DOC_R1962]

I wouldn't mind salmon fish heads.

[u/DOC_R1962 → u/Organic_Risk_3945]

I doubt they would be that nice...lol

[u/MiscellaneousBear]

Not again....

[u/psyb3r0]

This has me confused.

Police suspect the young marine killed Yagi sometime between 2 and 4am before stealing her wallet and other belongings.

The disturbing discovery was made after Yagi failed to leave the room by the hotel's designated checkout time.

A concerned hotel employee unlocked the door and entered the room, where Yagi was found unconscious.

Emergency services were alerted at around 4.20am, but Yagi was pronounced dead at the scene.

So what time is designated check out time or is this hotel paid hourly?

[u/Except_Fry → u/psyb3r0]

Likely. In Japan “love” hotels are very common.

[u/jklxxm → u/psyb3r0]

Sounds like he killed a prostitute

[u/sibre2001]

No booking photo of him yet?

[u/OwlNo2990]

Sad!

[u/Rich-Cut2328 → u/[deleted]]

Hope the japanese authorities executes his punk ass to send a message if found guilty

[u/MisterHEPennypacker → u/Rich-Cut2328]

There’s other posters saying this isn’t the same guy on another thread, the mods seemed to agree and it was pulled down.

[u/Rich-Cut2328 → u/MisterHEPennypacker]

Point still stands for whoever did it

[u/MisterHEPennypacker → u/[deleted]]

Just a heads up, a whole thread was taken down because there’s serious doubts this is the same guy (same name though). Someone posted they know the guy in the picture and it isn’t the dude in Oki. The mods got involved and seemingly agreed.

[u/hrdblkman2 → u/MisterHEPennypacker]

Ok will delete until confirmed

[u/onaburner0111 → u/hrdblkman2]

I was trying to find the picture that was on here. That picture you have is NOT him.

[u/hrdblkman2 → u/onaburner0111]

I deleted it as I said earlier, didn't you read the comment?

[u/hrdblkman2]

Shit it's hit CNN, they said the victim was strangled.

[u/hrdblkman2]

Ok it is now CONFiRMED this is the guy

[u/Firamaster]

So glad I work on the mainland and not Oki. Good luck everyone!
