Lived and worked many years at Fleet Activities Yokosuka, Japan - single and married - ashore and afloat - enlisted and a commissioned officer. My first time in "Yoko"? November 1965 as a Navy Brat when my family accompanied my father, a Naval Surgeon, after he received orders to the U.S. Naval Hospital in Yokosuka. I spent 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades there. Now ask me about my adventures at the U.S. Navy Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba during pre-school, nursery school, and kindergarten as a Navy Brat and how my family was one of many families evacuated to the US for a couple of months (back home by Christmas) during the Cuban Missile Crisis!

Dubai - what a town! Surfed while it was snowing at Chigasaki Beach on Sagami Bay on the other side of Miura Peninsula from Yokosuka. Surfed perfect 4 to 6 foot typhoon surf over a rock spine (very narrow and long ) just 15 minutes from my off base home in Yokosuka (and, shhhhhh, I played hooky from work to do it!!!)
