Tokyo/Yokohama aren't worth it anymore imo. All the major combat forces are elsewhere like Okinawa or Iwakuni and the ships in Yokosuka are probably deployed anyway, or already broken.

Did the Atsugi squadrons and poo poo finally relocate to Iwakuni? They had just finished building the massive runway expansion and poo poo when I left in 2008, but it was still a runty rear end little base with like 1500 people on the drat thing. Christ I can't even fathom how loving terrible going out in town locally, or even to Hiroshima is if the base got much bigger.

Yeah, everyone but 12, 77, and 51 are down here now. MCX is under stocked and under staffed, almost no one lives off base so we basically live under Marine rules 24/7, there's basically nothing close to base except the bars I guess and 711, the train station is like double the walk time, rank based alcohol restrictions, everything but one mini mart is farther from the barracks than the flightline was in Atsugi.


Pros: There's a half a Chili's (It's understaffed)

We traded casual access to Tokyo/Yokohama and a base ignored by everyone for this.

Now everyone wants to cross platform to h60s or get out. I'm personally now more open to billets in Yokosuka.

It's been a literal decade since I was at Iwakuni, but...

-There is(was?) a good rear end indian place called Ganesh in the main part of town
-Strangely passable Mexican place right next to CoCo's at the traffic circle thing by the train station
-If you got access to a personal vehicle, or know someone who does, go to the Chicken Shack

There used to be this amazing drunk food place called California Chicken right outside the main gate but iirc the owner ended up getting liver cancer or something and died back in like 2010?

loving lol. Atsugi was so nice compared to Iwakuni it's laughable.

Yeah it was a loving hole, but there were some genuinely decent spots if you knew where to look. I'd still take it over Okinawa all loving day though. Only thing Okinawa has going for it is scuba diving

This is what I was trying to get to. I don't know what would come out of pushing the frontier of space exploration, but just imagine the legacy tech and science we would get out of trying.

Think of the space weed, if you will. Or what might come out of asteroid mining drones.

Even if it ends up as Lcpl Schmuckatelly and Pvt Fuckface, at least the social experiment side of things could pay off. Be real good for establishing a baseline without wasting valuable scientists on the next Challenger disaster.

It's part of an apartheid reparations program. Farmers are being lovely they're getting 1/20th the value of their land instead of nothing at all. As of right now, 72% of all south african farmland is owned by white people who make up just 9% of the total population. Considering the totality of the circumstances and the "victims" I'm keen to nod my head and not give a gently caress.

It'd be nice if they didn't go full Zimbabwe with the farmers. But on the other hand, Afrikaners can go gently caress themselves and absolutely deserve it.

This is some god tier trolling on Vietnam's part

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...z-idUSKCN1L90UE

quote:

The website, which did not appear to have rights to broadcast the drama, asks users to answer questions confirming their Vietnamese identity before the website loads.

“This service is for Vietnamese people only. Please answer the following questions: To which country do the Hoang Sa (Paracel Islands) belong? Vietnam, China, Philippines or Japan?”.

The only correct answer to the question, according to the website, is Vietnam.

The Southeast Asian country has long been embroiled in maritime disputes with China in the South China Sea, or “East Sea”, as it is known locally, and claims sovereignty over the Paracels, which the Chinese military currently occupies.

“This is nonsense!,” said one Chinese drama fan, commenting on the Weibo microblogging platform. “Who gave Vietnam the courage to challenge China’s territorial sovereignty?”
