What is it like at Kadena Airbase, Japan for 91B?

So I was a Marine in Okinawa and, at the time, we weren't allowed to go to Kadena if we weren't stationed there. I was an 03 and we were confined to Schwab and Hansen farther north. That said, we all knew Kadena was a good place to be so you should be good. Congrats and enjoy your time, the scuba diving is great in Oki so take advantage of it at MWR. Several of my guys earned their civilian Master Diver certifications there.

You lucky, not many get that opportunity...
