Leaving Yokosuka…Again.

I finished my class yesterday, and today I’ll be flying back to Singapore. The George Washington and most of the small boys came home to Yokosuka yesterday, so I decided to head out to The Honch to see if anyone was there. Saying it was overcrowded is an understatement. There were tons of people, a shitload of Shore Patrol, and tons of incidents. At one point, about 6 or so SP’s went running down the street towards Budweiser’s. Apparently, a group a people were brawling at Kenny’s Bar, right above Budweiser’s. After we saw a group of SP’s running one way, we decided to head the other. During the trip to a bar at the opposite end, I couldn’t help but notice how many people were being escorted home by Shore Patrol. I’ll give the GW the fact that they just got home, but still…the Kitty Hawk wasn’t even as belligerent.

I saw quite a lot of people from the Shiloh. Some old friends, and some people who I never really hung out with, but were still cool. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I may hate the crap that comes with being out to sea, but I will always love the camaraderie you and your shipmates have when you live under the collective misery of life at sea. Anyway, I’m doing my last minute packing before heading to the bus to the airport. Glad to be going back to paradise. Stay trashy, Yokosuka!
